the railroad owns the lands enough TO
mortgage or sell them, but that they
don't own them enough to pay taxes
on them
The McShane declslon may or may
not govern In this question of railroad
taxation. Ten years ago the Union
Pacific had not been accepted as com
pleted, and had not, therefore, earned
their patents. To-day they have an
absolute title, and their refusal to pay
for surveying, in order to evade their
just responsibilities as property
owners, Is a monstrous wrong that no
honorable man can afford to defend or

We believe that Senator Van Wyck
Is making a serious mistake in his op-
position to the Nebraska stage route to
the Black Hills. The sentiment of
Northern Nebraska seems to be strong.
ly In Its favor, and those who have
much better means Of judging than
General Van Wyck, declare that 1t
will not only prove of great benefit to
the Hills, but will materially advance
the interests of our settlers ON the
northern frontier.
Within the last twelve months set.
Element has pushed rapidly beyond
the line of the Sioux City g. Pacific
road along the proposed route, and a
daily mall and stage llne will greatly
benefit that part Of Nebraska through
which 1t passes. The necessity for the
mall service should not bs considered
alone In reference to the terminus of
the route. That Ia what Senator Van
Wyck seems to overlook. II the ca.
adjustment of the new line will has.

part OF our state, AID at the same time

Hills a quick and sur service, Sl3,-

however, In entering a protest against

IN THE NORTH.

We hear nothing but good gnewu
from northern Nebraska. The rail-
roads are carrying In hundreds of new
settlers every day to locate on her
fertile lands, the crop prospects are
excellent, farms are rapidly rising In
value, and immigration Is pushing
along the northern valleys aud spread.
Ing Itself across the hills which skirt
the Niobrara and Mlnnecadusa. In
tho older counties such as Stanton
and Cunning and Madison and Pierce
and Wayne the steady growth In pop
ulation and the rapid appreciation In
lands are as gratifying as the best
friends of the state could desire.
This Is as 1t should be, and as It
would have bsen years ago II this sec.
ton of our state, which is second to
none other In fertility and promise,
had received Its just deserts. There
has been snly n reason why North.
ern Nebraska has failed to advance as
rapidly as the South Platte country.
That reason Is found in the selfish
greed of a railroad corporation which
preferred to hold Its land grant as a
speculative enterprise rather than to
dispose of II TO s~ettlers at a fair valu.
alton, In accordance with the inten.
ton Ct the congress which gave It.
The good times for Northern Ne
braska are now at hand. Her people
are wide awake to their opportunity,
and an excellent country press is
doing good service for their towns and
counties Omaha will help along the
boom by sending a new line of rail-
road up the Elkhorn, and THE BEE
promises to do It's share In advertising
the advantages of that portion of
Gods country which lies Lorth of the
Platte.

The compliment paid to Omaha by
Theodore Thomas, IN his req1est that
a grand chorus might be organized
hero to supplement his orchestra in his
Omaha concerts, thus digniiying this
point into one of the few at which
great orchestral and choral festivals
are held, Is one which has met with q
quick response. Mr. Thomas will be
grstified alike at the character and the
spontsn.ety of the answer he has re-
oeived. - Herald.
Theodore Thomas Is on a money
making, not q missionary tour. His
request for a chorus to assist him in
giving his concerts In Omaha was not
particularly complimentary except so
Tor az tho singers render gratultious
aervlces to MI. Thomas, and enable
him to draw larger houses through
their presence. The request
for chorus two weeks
before the proposed festival Ia
q shreWd scheme to obtain free and
cheap advertising. L. worked well In
Minneapolis and is to be tried on In
Omaha. That Ia the plain truth in O
few words. Mr.. Thomas gave his
chorus months of careful training in
return for their tender of their aervi.
ces. In Omaha he sends his agent a
fewdays before the concert and gather.
up the best available singers at g mo.
ment's notice, to fill up q gap In his
company and add to the interest OF
what he calls . festival. 1t Is no less
an injustice to Omaha singers than it
will be to the audience which he will
attract through his shrewd advertising
dodge.

LITERARY NOTES.

But YET A WoNAN-A novel by A. s.
Hardy. Houghton, MIhiin & Co., Bos.
ton, $l.25.
Since "Mr. Isaacs'" we have had
nothing 40 good in fiction this reason
as Mr.. Hardy's story. The interest
of this tale, Its freshness, Its purity,
the manly vigor with which 1t Is writ
ten, Its tenderness of feeling, Its high
and sacred motif, all combine to make
1t the most notable novel of the year.
1t is a French story, simple in plot,
but oharmlngly told. The heroines
are lovely and natural women; the
lover Ia a good, manly, but not re.
msrkable young physician. The old
uncle; his friend, a violinist who has
taken all the rough things In life

wise, kind, tender, helpful priest
