The Cattle Market.

There are rot many beef cattle for
sale In the vicinity of Reno, says the
Journal. The San Francisco butchers
have several hundred bead feeding
here. which has tendency TO keep
the price of beef down, ruling rates
now being from 7 to cents. Stock
cattle are easier bought at $50 per bead
this spring than they could be bad for
$40 last spring. Unless there should
be a war ON the Continent stock cattle
will decline to 500 per head within the

S75 900 for library building, but find
ing that this sum would not suffice for
housing of suitable architectural
beauty and dignity for the library, he
increased the gift to 100000. In his
letter Mr.. Billings explains that " the
work cost has been more than was an
ticipated and send you 900, in adj
dition to the 100000 which you have
already received from me, for the build
ing. 1t is not improbable, indeed from
your late letters it seems quite certain,
that more will be required before every
thing is finished. There is nothing to
do but to go straight to the end, and if
you will let me know the deficiency
when come back from the West, the
bills shall all be paid. In this connec-
ton let me say it is not simply money
that put into the building. My love
is built into it. If l was to be per-
mitted to do something for my own
Alma Mater, nothing could have been
so agreeable to me as, in the first place,
to add the most valuable twelve thou
sand volumes of the late George p
Marsh to the library, which had vir-
tually its beginning in the wonderfully
choice selection of ten thousand vol
umes by Professor Torrey, and, in the
second place, to build fit home for
these precious volumes and the other
volumes that have come in the years
gone by and are to come in the years
not yet here. In many peri
DDS the University has seen dark days.
That it has been safely piloted through
those of late years is greatly due to your
faith, courage and hard work. Now
that, through the gifts of Mr.. Howard
and others, the skies are brighter, /
hope you will have the inexpressible
satisfaction of seeing that the unfailing
devotion of yourself and associates has
not been in vain, of finding year by
year prosperous alumni and other
friends making haste to experience the
joy of helping to enlarge the funds, the
professorships, the buildings and the
constituency of the University. So may
her future become continuous, substan-
tial, cheering growth and usefulness -

for years and years to come, and that
one of the reasons for our rapid growth
in population and wealth consists in the
fact that we have received large inn
migration of laborers from oreign
countries. They have come here by
thousands and tens of thousands, al
ready fitted for work; and the general
idea hitherto has been that this was really
of great service to our industrial sys-
tenn. We believe the idea to be correct.
Now, for congress, in these circum-
stances, to pass any law against the in
PRODUCTION of foreign labor, or attempt
to restrict it in any way, is the sheerest
nonsense in the world. And as to the
wages-question, what we have to say is
that it should be left to take care of it.
self under the general law of supply
and demand. 1t will do so under this
law much more wisely and safely than
it can under any law enacted by con-
gress. We regard the law of congress
as simply quack nostrum for pre-
tended evil that does not exist, enacted
to catch the votes of set of moon
struck labor-reformers, whose Stiffness
is very well expressed in the law"

The figures do not include deaths in
the navy, but are supposed to cover the
deaths in rebel prisons, which amounted
to nearly thirty thousand. The con-
federate dead, added to the Union, it is
estimated, would bring the fearful
aggregate up to about seven hundred
thousand, terrible drain upon the best
blood of the country. The story of
Donelson, of Shiloh, and the sanguin-
airy Seven Days before Richmond, re-
told in current literature, by the leaders
in the strife on either side, pleads for
brotherly peace forevermore with an
eloquence intensified by this table of
mortality and its confederate twin.
When northern and southern blood
fights again it will be side by side, in a
common cause. In such warfare ID.
H. Hill, reviewing the splendid valor
which wrought the awful havoc at NAL
vern Hill, says: "The battle, with all
its melancholy results, proved, however
that the confederate infantry and
federal artillery, side by side on the
same field, need fear no foes OF
earth"

A Site Selected.

The commission to locate the federal
building has discharged its duty and
made its report. The bid accepted is
that made by Joseph Poland, and en-
braces the land owned by the county on
the westerly side of the court house,
the site of THE WATCHNIAN building,
of the Gould residence and so much of
the Willard lot as may be needed to
make up the frontage of one hundred
fifty feet required by the government.
The county, WATCHMAN and Willard
properties have depth of one hundred
fifty feet, the Gould, three hundred
thirty feet. The price is $4,000
The commission in its report to the
government gives the reasons which
determined its action in rejecting the
other bids, and forwards also to Wash
ington all petitions, remonstrances, ETC.,
that have grown out of the local agita-
ton of the question of site for this
building. The decision of the COM
mission was made unanimous. We be-
lieve that wise conclusion of this mat
ter has been reached. A nonresident
commission of competent men, having
regard for the best interests of the pub
lie and the government, must have
reached the same conclusion, and we
are sure that the public and the COM
missioners will be found to be of one
mind in this matter, if not now, when
the building shall have been completed
and all the advantages of the site are
apparent to the eye. The Gould lot,
which is the central property in the
site, is ninety feet front and three hun
dred thirty feet deep, more than double
the actual requirement of the govern
ment as to depth. Complete control of
this territory is thus in the hands of
the government. No unsightly build
ings or tenement houses can cucumber
it. 1t will constitute park, Which,
with fountain and shrubbery, can be
made a delightful accessory to the
grounds. The other advantages of this
site-its desirable surroundings, its
nearness to the locality of the post
Office for nearly a quarter of a century
its adaptability to the requisites of a
good court-house-proximity to the
county court building, to the railway
stations, hotels and state library, have
been set forth in this paper. We are
not surprised that these considerations
and others of minor character have
prevailed with the commissioners, and
we say again that whatever individual
preferences may have been entertained
they will ultimately, if they do no
already, fall into line with the grea
majority, and the wisdom of the de
cision will be ratified without dissent
ing voice.

An Error of Statement.

Mr.. Editor 1t is not any inconsistency
between Mr.. Georges teaching in " Progress
and Poverty" and his views as expressed
in his conference with Mr. Field reported
in the North american RerieiC), that is to be
criticised, but my own ineXactitude or in
completeness of phrase. In any scientific
statement, complete precision of language
is all-important-and this, by the way, tends
to make men of science very careful and eX-
act in the use of words. My error was in
saying unoccupied and unimproved land,
when what | meant was land in its natural
condition." unnhabited will not do be-
cause land may he inhabited las it is by the
Indians or the Tartars) and yet not be
claimed by anybody as individual property.
Unoccupied and unimproved land, in
country where private ownershipof land is
recognized, is held by Mr. George to pos
sess value value which attaches to it
by reason of its juxtaposition with other
land reduced to actual possession, You
will see that it is very difficult if not inn
possible, to frame a sentence that will con-
vey the idea without circumlocution, in a
community where the principle of land
ownership is held as fundamental. Mr..
Georges doctrine is that "value " in land
is the consequence of private ownership
without that an acre of land would have
no more "value" than an acre of sea-
Three things" says Mr.. George, "unite TO
produce value-labor, capital and land-and
three parties divide the produce, the la
borer, the capitalist and the landowner.
If, with the increase of production, the la
borer gets no more and the capitalist no
more, 1t is a necessary inference that the
landowner reaps the whole gain Mr..

Modest and Generous.

The dedication of the Billings library
building was an interesting and sug-
gestive event at Burlington last week.
A letter from the donor was read by
President Buckham. Mr.. Billings said:

coast on business trip, which cannot
be put off, and will not be able to re-
turn in season for the dedication which
you have prepared for the library in

Gus on the occasion. Ny presence is
not necessary. There is nothing for
me to do to give title and possession of
the library to the trustees. 1t has been
built by them on the land of the Uni
versity, through you as their represen-
tative. My part has simply been to
furnish the money" Mr.. Billings had
bought the splendid Marsh library and
given it to the college; he had given
