SENATOR VAN WYCK has introduced
four important bills in the senate, each
of which has a bearing on Nebraska in
terests. The fret, though national in its
character, will, if it becomes a law, prove
of incalculable benefit to the western
states. 1t provides that all land grant
railroads shall, within 60 days, pay the
expenses of surveying their grants, other
wise they shall be subject to state and
local taxation. Another provides for
the forfeiture of unearned land grants;
another is intended to protect settlers ON
forfeited land grants, and the last pro-
vides for the indemniication of settlers
on the Denver, st. Joe 81 Western rail
road lands in Kansas and Nebraska, at
the rate Of SO. SO per acre.

WILLIAM WALTER PHEbps has received
n great deal of censure at the hands of
republican papers for advising Keifer for

in commenting upon this fact, says:
"The papers hat are sneering at Will

aware of the fact that he is one Of the
brainiest young men in the country. He
had a right to give advice to Keller, be-
cause he knows a great deal more than
that overbalanced carload of uselessness
does. And, what is of more Importance,
his services to the republican party have

A DEMOCRATIC Exchange says: "a ire
mendous political revolution is declared, by
persons residing there, to be sweeping Kansas.
The election Of a Democratic Governor was
but the entering wedge. Blows are falling
thick and fast directed by vigorous, intelli-
gent hands, that mean to open the State for
honest and good government" This item is
untrue on general principles. Kansas has
always been Republican, is Republican to-day
and will be Republican when the votes are
counted, Notwithstanding a Democrat is
Governor. Click was not elected by Demo-
cratic votes, nor was he elected because of his
popularity or his abilities, but because the
people had become tired of one man, St.
John, and his prohibition methods, and he
was the only man on the ticket defeated.
There is but little hope in Kansas for Demo-
cratic victories Of great importance in the
coming elections.

PRETTY story is told in late issue Of the
New York Tribune. A feeble old lady, poorly
clad, got into a street car and let a nickel
drop, which she had just received from the
conductor in charge. The piece fell in be-
tween the gratings on the floor, and after
short search was given up as lost-the old lady
being too feeble to make the extra exertion
necessary to recover it. As she settled back in
her seat with sigh Of regret, gentleman oppo-
site stopped down and affecting to pick up the
missing coin, reached over and placed some
thing in her lap. He then pulled the bell and
got out. AS the old lady discovered the pres
ence of gold coin left by the stranger, gen.
tleman sitting near whispered to her the name
Of the donor. He is one of the best known
philanthropists in New York, and the member
Of family noted far and wide for its countless
good deeds.
