were adjourned. the Republican mem
bers in BODY took possession OF the
House and Senate chamber. They
had more than a quorum. In each
house. and proceeded to organize by
electing officers. Then measures
were at once taken to lay the, matter
before the supreme court. They will
quietly submit to the decfees of the
court, whether their body is a lawful
legislature or.not.
Gen. Chamberlain, commandeF-in-
chief Of the State MALTA, will be act
ing governor until legal Legislature
has chosen governor. Lamson, the
bogus president Of the Senate, has de-
clared himself acting governor and
there will be brief contest for su-
thority between Gen. Chamberlain
and Lamson, which viii result In IA

Gen. Chamberlain seams to be a
splendid nan, and has manifested a
determination to have peace. He,

ial in the York Tribune:
The soil of Nebraska offers the in =

and il means hard work any where.
1t implies Also experience, energy
and frugaIity, and where these quail
ties combine in the man who tile the
soil they entitls him to rank first as
a citizen. The person who makes
two blades of grass or two grains o.

only produced one before. is worth to

A memorial, numeEousfy signed,
from the West, was presented In the
U. S. Senate last week which makes
q curious but possibly a feasible prop
osition. The proposed scheme is. that
the Government proceed to improve
all government lands, suitable for sg-
ricultural purposes, and parcel it out
in 100 acre lots to the landless and
farmless poor of this country and
that those who take these home
steads have twenty years TO pay for
the improvements, to be paid 10 year
ly iDstalments of not over four per
cent Of the value of such improve
ments. 1t is claimed and set forth
in the memorial that this will give
employment to enforced idleness,
solve the tramp problem and give
poor people farms who never could
secure one without some such meas
ure. 1t strikes US that something
practicable of this kind could be in
augurated that would be a blessing to
the country. The memorial concludes
thus: 1.-The whole scheme simplified
amounts to this: A plan to enable
each and every poor, struggling NOR
tai to obtain good, comfortable home
of his own by paying per cent. per
snnum on the cost of his improve
ments for a period of twenty years.
We boldly affirm that there never has
been q scheme so full Of blessing to
the laboring poor presented since the
foundation ofthe republic. No man
is taxed ons cent to inaugurate this
great scheme. The measure is self
sustaining from beginning TO end
ing"
