Steele's Steal.

Arthur A. Brundagc writes the. Fargo
Republican from Bismarck as follows
concerning the attempt Of Wilbur F
Steele to gobblc a school section IN Kid
der county
The matter is creating no little atten
ton in this locality, due as much, per
haps, to the widespread mischief the
adoption Of the measure would inaugu,
rate, as to the financial condition in
volyed. l, like many others. knowing
the main circumstances surrounding the
matter, and approaching the injustice
OF the measure, am opposed to it, anc
have done, and will do, all in my power
IN my humble sphere as a citizen Of Da
kota to thwart this iniquity +; because ]
believe this man, who has resorted tt
perjury, ought to fail in his designs upor
the future school fund of Dakota, which
was sought to be created by the mun,f'
cent act of the general government ir
.reserving this vast area of public domain
for that purpose ; because / do not. be
lieve that the bill now pending in con.
gress for the "relief' of Col. Steele woule
bear the scrutiny Of the higher tribunal
Of the country, and might lead to end
less and expensive litigation ; because
as above minated, it would establish {
precedent that would lead to innumer
able similar encroachments upon the
aforesaid future school fund of tho terri
ktory.
The Tribune, Of this city, seeks to aid
its friend in the attempt to plumber by
arguing that because Col. Steele was thu
first to settle on land between the JAIME!
and Missouri river valleys, he should bt
granted the ''relief" asked thereby nd
vaneing the theory that every mar
whose business foresight has led him 8
step in advance Of civilization should re
eeive a bonus. This is certainly carry
ing Dakota enterprise beyond the bound
OF reason. But why pay this bonus from
our future school fund? The Tribune
in the article referred to above, state
that the late ex-Delegate Raymond in
troduced a bill similar to the n no,
occupying the attention Of congress. i
justice 10 the memrry Of that gentlema
desire to say that at the time the ma
ter was ponding IN tho Forty-cighth cor
gress | was shown a letter from tho lat
Raymond, in which was declared hi
purpose Of opposing the measure.

WESTERN KANSAS.

| We speak particularly of this portion
of the state because we live here; what
little we have in the way Of property is
here; we have an abiding faith IN the de-
velopment of the western part OF Kansas
into region more desirable for residence
purposes than central or eastern Kansas.
This portion of the state is healthier than
either of those sections. There farming
may be said to be successful. As rule,
however. the farms are too small to admit
OF large profits from associating stock
growing with farming. Unless it is as
ISOLATED with stock growing, there are
comparatively few localities where farm
ing can be made to pay. In central and
eastern Kansas, more rain falls yearly
than is required FOR the purposes of agri-
culture. In western Kansas, enough wa
ter falls each year for these purposes.
II in western Kansas there are seasons
of drouth, in the eastern and central por-
tons of the state there are seasons ap-
proximating drouth Those sections have
been settled longer than this section has.
That makes the difference If drouths
overtake western Kansas, sufficient sup
ply of winter feed can easily be laid by;
if the crop season is unfavorable, only
small supply of feed will be required.
As substantiating the suggestion that
people who have been engaged here in
farming and stock growing have sue
ceeded, We state, without any reserva-
ton, that we know Of no other people of
equal numbers anywhere on the face of
the earth-this is terrestrial hand book
who average to be nearly as independent
as the people of this section of Kansas
who have lived here for the past five, six,
seven or eight years. We would even
emphasize this statement if we knew how.
The basis of living in new country is
always the scheme to be solved first. We
have spoken of this as being solved in
western Kansas.
Below we furnish list of the vacant
government land in the Western Kansas
land district:

Local Option and Taxes.

"A FROM SENATOR COLQCITT.
The following letter from Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia, is i'll answer to the question whether
the effect of local option, which has prevailed
in portions Of Georgia for many years and now
exists over almost the entire state has increased
the taxes thAse:
Mr.. w. ". Smith, Ashland, "a:
DEAR SIR: A very few words will do for an
answer to your letter of inquiry as to the effect
on taxation and property values in Georgia as
the result OF prohibition. The allegation that
these have been affected injuriously is simply q
device of the enemy. There has not been the
traction OF mill added to our tax in Georgia
by reason OF prohibition, nor taking values in
Atlanta as an index, has there been any fall
ing off in real estate prices. In my state, as
jected; but will any Zealot for whisky and
whisky civilization and prosperity say that the
one million of wOrkingmen now out OF EN- plOy-
ment in the United States are thus placed be-
cause or the stOppage or reduction of their
whisky ration? think it is high time for men
to take up their slate pencils and figure out
what a ''bOom' in dollars and cents is worth to
datiOn and ruin of a large proportion of the
population who contribute the ''bIood money!
that enters into the bank balances. In the esti.
nation of some of our latter-day economists
the redemption of immortal souls from british
ensavement to strong drink is entirely too
dear If 1t Is secured by sinking in trade quota
tions or an inconvenient hindrance to the
eternal by closing the corner doggery. This is
the stupid logic of sin, defiant, hardened and
desperately selfish. We must give up such
public spirit and political economy as this or
stand by and see our Christian civilization
thwarted and disgraced. A. H. CoLQUITT.

THE COURT DECIDES AGAINST HARLOW I

THE COURT DECIDES AGAINST HARLOW L.
STREET.
Ye riay in the Court in General Term
the application OF Harlow L. Street for a man.
damus to compel the Secretary of War to restore
him to the place OF first lieutenant of cavalry of
which he alleges he was illegally deprived, was
heard and decision reserved. The application
was filed last November, and certified to the
General Term by Judge Cox. Lieutenant Street
was one OF some seventy captains and lieuten-
ants transferred to the list of supernumeraries
under the act of July 10, 1870, by general or
ders No. 1, dated January 2, 1871. He sets out
In his petition that the transfer so made was
illegal and that no person has ever been NOM
mated to the Senate of the United States, and
held by him, nor has he ever been removed
from his said office by such nomination and
oOntirmaton.''
THE OPINION OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
The chief justice this morning delivered the
opinion of the court, diSmissing the application.
He thought there should be made an order, but
there were obstacles in the way. The place
made vacant had been filled and an officer ap-
pointed and confirmed was now diSchargiEg
the duties, and the court doubted if the court
could dispace such officer. The application
should be to put out as well as to put in. The
supreme Court of the United States had de-
cided that when place had been filled by
proper authority it was too late to remedy it
by mandamus Another difficulty was the
lapse OF fifteen years since the act complained
OF occurred, and since that time the applicant
mad been employed as a clerk under the gov
be permitted TO come In and ask to be replaced?
Ii there was such a thing as eStOppei in a mill
tary lie, fifteen years was long enough in
which TO obtain redress for wrong act, and ii
he did not make the application he should re-
main silent. The court would not trouble the
government In such a case.
