It is alleged by those who prefer market
on Corcoran square TO school house, or, what
is perhaps more just who want market
house any way, and arc willing that a school
house should be erected upon that sito If
there Is room for one after the market house
has been accommodated, that THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, did them injustice on Saturday
morning in an article on this subject. As
The REPUBLICAN has no purpose to misrep.
resent any one, it will state briefly what those
gentlemen assure it that they want in this
connection. They bold that Corcoran square
has been dedicated by law to market pur.
poses, aud there Is no authority in law to
divert 1t from that use. They desire 10 build

contend that they are not governed by selfish

just nor expedicnt for the District commits

absence of any authority of law to divert Cor.
coran square from the purposes to which IL was
dedicated by an act OF congress. This Is, as
The REPUBLICAN understands it, the attitude

What q Railroad Will Do.

When the writer was returning from
Pittsburgh last Thursday afternoon, over
the Pittsbuyh Southern railroad, Mr..
Joshua Wright boarded the train Tor
his home in Washington. Mr.. Wrlghts
farm is about twelve miles from WASH
ington on Peters Greek and, We believe,
the p. S. s. road runs through AS there
is a station at the farm. In converse
with Mr.. w. we learned that his business
that day had been to rent his farm, which
he had succeeded in doing to man
who is living on the land the present
wear. There are about two hundred
acres in the farm, which is beautiful ly-
ing land, and in a good state OF cultiya-
ton. as are nearly all the lands along
the line of tins road, especially in WASH
ington county.
We, very naturally, felt some inter,
est in knowing the rental value OF land
in the locality named, and so expressed
ourself 10 Mr.. Wright. He prefaced his
answer by stating that heretofore he
had some difficulty in renting the farm
at such figures as would justify him for
the money invested, but now that there
was railroad through there he found
no difficulty in doing so; the farm was
in demand. The railroad had made a
fine outlet to Washington and Pitts
buryh-bOth good aikets-and that he
had leased his farm that day, includli
twenty head Of young cows, for one
hundred dollars per month or 10
wear. The heifers, We believe, MT.
Wright bought last year and the cost
Of the herd was probably from 500
to $500.
This il what a railroad will do, and
the farmers of Greene county who have
vet no railroad convenience should bear
in mind that when they don't give up
their means, literally, they are, tinan-
cially speaking, cutting their own Threats.
For what a railroad will do in one sec
ton it will do, proportionally, in anoth-
er. And remember, too, the road We
have been speaking of is narrow

A JURY in Dodge county, Nebraska
has rendered remarkable verdict. II
gave a judgment of s., 500 for the plain
till in a suit where il was plainly shown
there was no claim at all. The explana
ton was that one of the jury had slept
during the hearing of the testimony
another had been reprimanded by the
Judge for eating peanuts and wanted Il
get even with him, and another carried
through the argument that the deien'
dants being agents Of the Pacific rail
road, and the railroad being an object Of
hostility owned by non-residents, while
the plaintiffs were local residents, it was
their duty to decide Tor their own citi'
zens and defend their homes. This ap'

THE Hot Springs bill, which the
House passed by the close vote OF l95
yeas 10 l2l nays On Tuesday, practically
sets aside the report OF the Hot Springs
commission, and gives to the present
occupants Of the lands embraced in the
reservation the right Of preemPtion on
paying within one year so on each acre
so occupied. The Northwest and Sugar
Loaf mountains are 10 be reserved Tor
use as public parks, and, with Hot
Springs mountains, are TO be known as
the permanent reservation. The bodies
buried in the cemetery lot are 10
De removed and the lot con
verted into a park, with six lots set
apart for sites for school-houses. The
streets are TO be ceded to the town Of
Hot Springs, and the lots not awarded
N any claimants are to be sold at auc-
ton. and the proceeds devoted To the
improvement and care OF the permanent
reservation, and the maintenance OF
free baths for the invalid poor. The
bill is extremely liberal to the people OF
Hot Springs. The land on which the
town is built belongs to the govern
mrn,, and is worth - 600 to 5000 an
acre; but the bill proposes to sell it to
them at a merely nominal price.
