For over three months this state Of
affairs has existed and all interests of
the railroad company have been sac
rihced to the Lincoln Land company.
Not more than one-eighth Of the

the b. Il NJ, although that is their
natural outlet, and Omaha their nat

every pound of freight for Wymoel,
the new town, comes over the b. II NJ.
st. Joe gets the trade of Blue

and may never have consented to

latter notably Messrs. Tou-

hold the b. q Nj. railroad responsible
for this outrage.
The people of this city will test
their rights and will not stop short of

Communicated.
BLUE SPRINGS, Aug. 1o.-Your cor
respondent Ranger" has given a very
fair sketch of Blue Springs and hcr
business men. There are, however,
..hings in the history of this place
especially its treatment by certain
railway officials that should not re-
main unpublished. In justice to the
b. & M. II. r. it should be said that
as a corporation they have been more
liberal than any other railway in the
State of Nebraska, and that the vast
number of petty rings formed of subor-
dinate officers and employees for flcec-
ing the people by unjust determinations
have been winked at or boldly en-
dorsed and encouraged by many other
monopolies, bu. the b. q M. has as a
rule discouraged all of this petty
stealing.
deem it my duty however, to ex-
pose a piece of high handed injustice,
a gross and wholly inexcusable wrong
that Is aimed to destroy u Nebraska
town of no little Importance.
The town Of Blue Springs, Nebras-
ka had, according to the U. s. census
taken May, 1880, 972 inhabitants and
it is claimed that since that time the
population has doubled in number.
At the present time there is not an
empty house in the town.
Now the b. & M. II. r. officials
have a survey made for a railway line
through this city, took possession of
the peoples lots and built that line,
but failed to provide a depot. The
people, however, had profiered lands
free, and proposed to pay the expense
of erecting a depot, but they were
fatty refused, and the Lincoln land
company, composed of officers and at
torneys of the b. ~ NJ, purchased
several hundred acres south of the
town and located a village and erected
a depot II mile and a quarter from
the corporation limit of Blue Springs.
Now, the citizens Of Blue Springs
find no fault with any company start
ing towns, but by what right can they
run a railroad through an incorporated
city and refuse 10 furnish that city
with facilities for ~transactlng business
with that railroad.
Blue Springs has be- ged for justice
from these autocrats, but has only met
with repeated insults, until it has de-
termined to take the aggressive and
combat this cruel wrong to the bitter
end. Discrimination by common car
riers when applied to freights, passen-
gers or express matter is wrong and

to wear citizens clothes, to build

as could be made productive in these

their old superstitions and barbarous

at the burial of the dead. All this
has been accomplished and without
ostentation.
THE RESULT
is that alarge numbernowappearinful full

enough to be hauled to supply the
demand of those who are willing to
work as teamsters, nor can the agent
find employment for all the others
who apply to him for situations as
laborers. Mourners do not now
roam about the agency with loaded
guns. Nearly three hundred families
live in houses constructed by them
selves. Very few pant their faces,
and everything is as quiet and order
ly as ia any white settlement. Crime

II INDIAN QUESTION.
Our eastern friends believe the In.
dian question. to be u very compli-
Gated one, but in the opinion of the
writer, after q residence of twenty
years on the frontier, three years of
which have been spent at the agency,
the question will be easily andquickly
solved whenever the government will
pay to its Indian agents salaries
large enough to secure the services of
tirst-class business men, and decides
to give them large discretionary pow
ers, untramelled by the theories Of
people who live thousands of miles
away. whose opinions have been OBJ
tanned from works of fiction, and
from the haranguesof cracked Drained
fanatics who know as little of the sub
ject as their hearers. The pro-
gress these Indians have
made under the present agency
administration shows conclusively
what can be done under q capable
man, but the duties of an Indian are
of such an arduous and perplexing
nature, the responsibilities are so
great, the discretionary powers al
lowed by the government so limited
and the salary so small, that the pres
ent agent will not remain very long,
and the next agent will probably be
some theorist who will undo all that
has been accomplished.

QUESTION of a knowledge of the ele-
mentary branches of an education;
namely, photography, reading, writing
and arithmetic, because the obligation
of the State to teach in common
school any more than these is very
open question.
Under the existing arrangements, a
district can, at the annual meeting,
elect teacher from among the qualifi-
ed applicants; and if care is used to Sc
lsct one possessing in a good degree the
true spirit of the work of teaching, he
will be able by his administration of
the school, to remove many of the OBJ
jections tosa compulsory law, whilst a
teacher of different spirit can do much
to strengthen those objections.

Some Things.

Some reference must be made to the
histsry of the State of Missouri, in or
der that we may the bettor understand
OUR COMMON SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Twelve years ago, this State was
staggering along under q complicated,
cumbrous, and expensive system of
schools, (which was a part Of The
Drake Constitution, which was part
of the system calle,. Southern Recon-
struction, which consisted in reorga-
nizing State on all abnormal base,
by outside agencies; an undertaking
whose most sanguine advocates must
admit has not proven to be a brilliant
success.
The common school system then IN
force was out of time, and lacked adap-
tation to the people of the State.
When the control of the State came
into the hands Of the majority of its cit
liens they found themselves face to
face with a problem in regard to the
common schools, before which the bold
est might have done we'll to pause.
They were required to amend in many
essential particulars, and yet keep the
system in vigorous operation, and en-
large and extend its influence. This
work has been well done by the .peo-
pie of the State, acting through the
Legislature.
Our common school system is much
better to day than it was twelve years
ago. It is less com plicated, less expen
sive, and better adapted to the people.
I A great change has taken place in
connection with the working force OF
the system.
OF the .350, 600 people who, between
1865 and 1870, came to Missouri, quite
q number were school teachers. Oh
these, many having become weary here
have gone to other fields, many have
gone into other callings; and not few
having, as we charitably hope, success
fully passed through all examinations
by the Great Teacher, have gone into
the Higher Department of Gods
Graded School; and the places of all OF
these have been perhaps more than
filled by those who are Ito the manor
born.r
The common school system of Mis-
souri, has nearly completed its mouit-
lug period. But few teachers are now

is not to be suddenly ''gridironed," as
some people seem to think will be
the case. Nor are other expecta-
lions as to the wonderful lowering Of
fares and freight rates, OF lively com.
petit on and savage railroad wars to
be realized. Each of these roads has
its special field, in which the
others cannot interfere, unless it be
in one case, and that will not be 8
serious affair. The Utah and Me-
ysda opens a new country, making
business as it goes. but without ssrik-
ing at any other road in existence or
contemplation. The general route
will be about as follows: Tintio. Dag
way, Deep Creek, in Utah: Cherry
Creek, Eureka. some point south Of
Austin, and Aurora, Nevada, TO q
timber district in the Sierra Nevadas.
1t is not among the improbabiliIies
that the road will eventually 90 on to
the Pacific, bat until it does it can
have no fgAt with other roads,
and no other road can have
any desire to make war upon
it. The Utah Southern is alone
in its field. and must continue master
of the situation so far as disastrous
competition is concerned. 1t can
only be hurt in the matter of coal.
aud there appears no good reason
why it and the Pleasant Valley or
Denver and Rio Grande should not
work tremendously. Like the other
roads mentioned thes Lake branch
of the Denver and Rio Grsnde lie out
of harms way. It's tributary terri
tory is its own, and is lsrge enough to
make the road profitable institution.
Should the time come, as remarked
about the Utah and Nevada, when
the D. & R. G. finds its way to the
ocean, then there may be COMPETE

roads are not being built for the pur-
pose of fighting each other or warning
with existing lines. Their object is tc
develop the resources of the country,
and make money for the investors.
