Prc-emptors, RIshts.

Judge Deadly, Of the United States district
court Of Oregon, recently. rendered a decision
In case involving the right of the government
to revoke title to pre-empted lands after
certificate Of entry and purchase has been is
sued by the receiver Of local land office. In
this case fraud in obtaining title was alleged,
and, OH the recommendation Of the local land
sffiee officials, the general land commissioner
ordered \ cancellation Of tho filing and entry.
It was afterwards taken before the secretary
Of the interior, who affirmed the decision of the
commissioner, and the entry was according,
cancelled. The Oregon court sustained the
validity Of the title holding that certificate
Of purchase confen upon the pre-emptor an
equitable title, and entities to legal one as
soon as patent can be issued. In rendering
his decision Judge Deadly said: "a cercihcate
Of purchase issued in due form in favor Of {.
pre-emptor for land subject to entry under the
pre-cmptian law, cannot he cancelled or set
aside by the land department for alleged fraud
| in obtaining it."
Gov Austin's attention being called to the,
case by Republican reporter yesterday, he
stated that number Of similar cases had come
up in the Fargo land ofiss during the past tive
years, and that in several Of then the titles
were crooked and the entries cancelled. The
department at Washington, he said, hadalways
held that fraud in obtaining titles is s,9fcient
ground for their revocation. Several inferior
courts had decided differently, but the depart
ment had never recognized their decision as
final, and the question will never be autiori-
tatively settled until it is brought before the
supreme court Of the United States. Governor
Austin expressed it as his private opinion that
the land department had no right to revoke a
title after certificate to purchase has onca
been issued.-Fdrgo Republican.

The Republican County Convention.
The ticket nominated by the Douglas
county republicans on Saturday is excel
lent IN many respects it is the strong
est that has been nominated for years.
The various elements Of the party are
well represented, and while some candi-
dates who failed to secure Il nomination
may feel disappointed oyer the result,
nobody can charge that corrupt or unfair
methods were rcsorted to by the success
fu mon.
Mr.. William Coburn, who heads the
ticket as candidate for sheriff is conccd-
ed even by leading democrats to be an
invinciblc nomination. He has resided
in this city since the close of the war, in
which he did good service rs II sol.
dicr in the union army. He has not
been an office holder or an Office seeker.
The only Office he has ever held is the
thankless one of member of the board of
education to which no pay is attached.
In that capacity he has made good
record which indicates that he regards
public Office rs public trust.
Mr. Henry Bolln is a successful busi-
ness man, and is conceded to be well
fitted for the responsible position
of county treasurer He is popu-
lar, we'll known to nearly every
body i'm the county and will have no
trouble in making Il successful canvass
against the best man whom the demo
crats can nominate.
Mr.. Charles p Nccdham is thoroughly
qualified for the position of county clerk.
He has ample experience rs an account
ant and he enjoys the enviable rcpnta-
ton of being rigidly honest, He is
very strong candidate.
Mr.. NJ. G. Mcany tho present street
commissioner, is the nominee for county
commissioners.
The nominee for coroner, Mr.. H. X.
Burkctt, is well known as Il capable and
reputable citizen who will fill the posi-
ton crcditably.
1t is hardly necessary to refer to Doc.
Smith, who has sclfacting patent on
the county surveyorship, which will not
expire for some years to come.
Mr.. j. b. Bruner the present county
superintendent, was renominatcd and
| his election is conceded rs he is emf
nently qualified by experience and record
| for the Office.
Judge McCulloch, who has given gen
cral satisfaction as county Judge was re-
nominated by acclamation. There is
likely to be about rs little opposition in
| the canvass before the election.
The last, but not least gratifying work
of the convention was the nomination of
three justices who possess the confidence
of the bar and the respect of the COM
munity. Judge Anderson has been one
of the few justices in this city against
whom no charges of corrupt partiality
or imbecility could attach. Mr.. Louis
Berka, as member of the bar, enjoys "A
good reputation, and is peculiarly fitted
for the judicial position. Mr.. Lee Hels-
ley, who for the past two years has been
connected with the daily press of Omaha,
has had the advantage of thorough le-
gal education, and is level-headed, fear
less and honest. He will elevate the
standard of the Justices courts in the
lower wards.

Lieut., GpecIy's Lectures.

Washington letter to the Hartford
Times: Lieut.. Greedy has written to II
friend here denying the statement that
is going the rounds of the press that he
has made money by his lectures since he
returned from the arctic regions. Lieut..
Grecly says that instead of making mon
cy, he actually ran short over $1,000 last
year. He says when he has accepted in
Vitations from geographical and similar
associations to lecture, he paid his own
way to and from the places, often at con
siderable expense. 1t cost him over $40
to deliver recent lecture in Massac hui
setts AT an agricultural fair, though the
fair association did not return him even
his expenses. His name, more than his
lecture, was used to draw a crowd to the
fair. He says there will be no admission
charged to his lectures in England and
Scotland rs he speaks in each case be-
fore scientific associations, though he
has been promised that his expenses will
be paid, Lieut., Greedy has arrived at
the conclusion that there is no money in
the arctic business He has hopes that
an exception will be made in his case,
and that he will not be required to re-
turn to his regiment, though Secretary
Endicott has always insisted that he will
allow no exceptions, and that all officers
absent for years from their commands
must return, so there shall then be Il fair
exchange of the soft places,

THE people of the east are now begin
ming to feel the Chinese question in the
light of their own experience, The white
coolie question in Massachusetts is rising
to the surface in such forcible manner
that it has found its way into the party
platforms For some years past the own
ers of manufacturing establishment have
been in the habit OF settling their labor
troubles by importing laborers under
contract from Europe, the employer
paying all expenses, and the workmen
remaining bound to him until repayment
had been made, This form of slavery
has acted upon free eastern labor pre-
cisely as the coolie system has upon west
ern wage earners, Sympathy for the
oppressed Chinese is not now playing as
big part in Massachusetts as it did
