School Fund Leases.

state journal.
A suit recently came before the su-
preme court from Lancaster county
relative to the refundIng of taxes col
lected by county treasurers upon school
lands sold and not wholly paid for by
the persons against whom assessed,
question arose as to whether the title of
the bill embraced two subjects, contrary
to the constitutional provision. 1t
transpires that the court was agreed
that such was the case, but subtler
question arose: Whether the court
could declare part of the law-the
main and important portion of the bill
to be valid, and to prune it of the sur
plus matter alone; whether it most all
60 to pot together, or only such part of
it as created the conflict with the con-
stitutional limitation. Upon this ques-
ton the court is said to have been di-
vided, and the approaching retirement
of Judge Lake led to a postponement of
its consideration. If the law is deter
mined to be invalid, as a matter of
course the old law remains unrepealed,
and instantly comes into all of its for
mer force and effect. Its provision for
the lease of lands are identical with
those of the act now in controversy,
and there can be no disturbing effects
upon contracts with the state for the
sale or lease thereof. There can be no
sounder title to realty in Nebraska than
that acquired from the land commits
sioner, and all alarm or uneasiness
upon the subject is entirely unneces-

A Serious Case,

A violent ring at the door, and the
doctor poked his head out of an upper
window and demanded:
"What's the matter?'
"For PHYS sake make haste" came
back the answer. ''It's case of life
or death. I'm Mr.. Simpson, and you
are wanted at the house Immediately"
The doctor closed the window, and in
about fifteen minnets later sauutered
leisurely out of the front door and said:
"Ah, Simpson your wife has another
fainting spell suppose?'
"No, no; worse than that. It's her
little dog, her pet poodle. He's all
rolled up with cramps
"What! shouted the now alarmed
physician, cher pet poodle sick? This
is indeed serious. If he should die
your wife wouldn't live week"
And the two men rushed madfy up
the street.

An Effort for Free Ships.
Buffalo Express (Rep.)

Buffalo Express thepD
Already two free ship bills have been
introduced in the house, one by Mr..
Hewitt, the other by Mr.. Cox. AS both
contain substantially the same pro-
visions, one would have answered.
They provide for the repeal of every
thing in title 48 of the revised statues
that either prohibits or restricts citizens
of the United States from purchasing
ships built in other countries to be used
only in the foreign carrying trade of the
United States; also everything impos-
ing taxes, burdens or restrictions on
such ships when owned by citizens of
the United States which are not impo-
sition ships built in the United States.
They further provide that thereafter il
shall be lawful for American citizens
to buy ships built wholly or in part in
any foreign country, have them regis
tered as ships of the United States and
sail them subject only to the regulations
now provided for the government and
management of ships built wholly in
the United States and owned and con-
trolled by citizens thereof. But ships
so purchased shall not engage in the
coasting trade On what grounds
intelligent men can vote against such
bills one would be puzzled to guess.

In spite of John Kelly's opposition, or, perhaps, in some measure because of 1t, Gov ernor Cleveland became the choice of the Democratic convention. The Republicans, we think, have no reason to find fault with this result Of course it is impossible to tell how the political cat will jump, but as the situation looks nov the Democrats might have nominated 8 much stronger candidate Thurman, for instance. Some of the Re- publican Independents will vote for Cleve- land, but 1t is quite plain that thousands of Democratic Independents will vote against him. He has been strong in his own State but it is not at all certain that he is now. New ertheIess, he got his nomination largely on the ground of the claims made for him in regard to his ability to carry New York.
 We do not know that it would be advanta- geous to the Democratic nominee to be better known than he is, but there are many who would like to know more about him before voting for him. MT. Hewitt said of him that in the last Demo cratic national convention four years ago there was not delegate, except those from Buffalo, who had ever heard of Grover Cleveland, and in this convention there were scarcely half dozen, except those from his own State, vho knew anything more of him than that he was elected governor by two hundred thousand majority. Of his opinions on national matters no one prstends to know any thing or to care whether he has any. His record as governor of New York has not been very notable one, and parts of it are open to the severe criticism which they will receive. There is certainly not eHoueh in his big accidental majority and his record as governor to make it very wiss or safe for voters to give him their support for the pres idenoy.
 The Democrats havS apparently, with their everlasting capacity for blandsring, made another mistake. The Republicans did not need to seriously fear any can didate whom their opponents might nominate, but they can now go to work with greater confidence then evar

Wall Streets PIumed Knight

The Diary ef a Spectator Who Was Crowned King.
 [From the New York sun.J
 The title of king of Wall Street" Was conferred upon me in the sumptuous outer office of broker in the street at the close of the last Presidential campaign. There was a gathering of the tape-pullers to see whether could say good-by to a booming market, with which was sailing prosperously. The ticker had struck off Ladd's time, 2:15 p. m and the stock quotations which fol- lowed carried prices up to point that, after
 six months of tribulation, 8 long summers
 hard work, and repeated nightmares of utter
 ruin, made me even with the Wall street game. When a certain stock-it was U. P. at a height that seems dizzy, when look at to-day's share list-touched certain eighth, my elaborate calculations demonstrated that

Every time the little wheel of tape went around I got an extra wrench To add to the pleasures of exis- tence, the put-and call sellers, who as now reflect upon short but eventfnl life, stand cheek by fowl with the hotel clerks as the only true American aristocrats, would bring 1 in the most delicate tidbits of gossip indica- l ting that Jay Gould was going to put my short stock np higher than it had ever been before. and that my long stock was going to the bow wovs where it would only have speculative value This meant that the stock l that thought was selling too high at 90 Jay 1 Gould thought cheap at 105; and the coal l shares, that seemed to me below their intrin-

 Dr. VuIpian does not venture on any fore- cast as to the probable course of the cholera epidemic, but he says that subcutaneous in- jections of morphine are the ''grand remedy on which the faculty mean to rely should the cholera make it's way to Paris. Profeagor Germain See was the first to witness the ar rival of the cholera in Paris in 1865. It was brought into the city by gentleman resid- ing in the Boulevard Malesherbes, who had been to see his daughter in Amiens, where the seourge was raging. He died of it, and the whole of the quarter in which he lived became speedily contaminated; while the poorer quarters of the city enjoyed compara- ative immunity from the disease. Nervous people will derive comfort from the pro- fessor's assurance that fear is quite incapable of producing the malady; and if, as is now practically proved, cholera is caused by the introduction of specific microbe into the system, the statement may be accepted with out hesitation. It is obvious that no extrem- ity of nervous terror has the power to gen. crate the smallest animalcule. Asiatic chol- era was unknown in Europe before the year 1s29-3O, although it had existed in India for many centuries.
