UNEARNED LAND GRANTS.

The House Committee Decided 10y party Vote
to Draft Bill to FORTE it Them.
The house committee on public lands
has decided by party vote to formulate
a general bill providing for the forfeiture
Of all the unearned land grants. Tho re-
publican members offered two distinct
bills, first to declare the forfeiture out
right of that land grants over whiah the
road was not built within the time speci-
fed by the granting act. seoond-the bill
to declare the forfeiture of the remainder
of the land grant, or chat part over which
this road was completed during the speci-
fed time. This plan they thought would
ensure the passage by the senate OF the
bill Of the first class at least without the
jeops-dizing of any and all the forfeiture

Mr.. Potter came here in his private car

of his arrival here Mr.. Potter began to

Ne was dying. He rallied just a little and
since has been in that condition where
the border line between life and death
was scarcely pereeptible. His death this

England, although it was eaten by the
ancient Re mans. Ia this country 1t mas
scarcely been known until now. The

is said lately TO have made its appearance
along our American coasts.

We favor uncle Dan Smith for

some honest, progressive, capable
farmer, If such man can be found
who will be willing to sacrifice some
Of his valuable time for the good Of
his fellows. Come friends, speak up
and lets see how the people stand in
this matter. While we are on this
question, we wish to ask Mr.. Boyd
how he stands on some much needed
reforms, IN case he IS returned For
instance, our system Of taxation for
school purposes. Now you know
that we progressive Republicans are
opposed to legislation that benefits
only a part of the people. What do
taxes to pay off r. II. bonds, and
then only a part of it getting any
school tax from the road? Don't you
think it would be better to make
townships the basis of taxation for
school purpOses?. We think this a
change that should be made And
we would like to have Mr. Boyd an
swer the HERALD's questions too.

he would give the people of the
view" a good paper. While the
field in Phillips county is pretty we'll
occupied, if any locality would sup
port a paper it is Prairieview.

Whenever Republican really proposes rem
cuy, the machine sits down on him, like il did on
senator Van Wyck, OF Nebraska, and John A.
Anderson of the fifth Kansas District -kirwin
Independent.
The above is an extract from a
lengthy article in last weeks Kirwin
Independent, in which that paper en-
deavors to convince its readers that
all progressive Republicans are sit
down ON and kicked out of the party
We beg leave to remind the hide
pendent that Senator Van Wyck, is
still a good progressive Republican,
and so is Congressman John A. An
dersOn who will be not only the nom
inee of the Republicans of his district,
but will be elected by a rousing ma
jOrity. We admit that there are some
monOpolistic republicans some big
bosses-who don't desire to nurture
the progressive anti-monOpoly spirit
III the party, but those fellows are be
coming fewer in number and the time
Is coming when they viii get sit
down on by the great honest loyal,
intelligent masses of the party. The
kirwin Independents oft repeated
assertion that no honest man can
work with the Republican party, and
that every man IN that organization
who Is labOring to make the party
better and purer is a hypOcrite, is not
only untrue but is evidence to every
sober thinker that our Kirwin con
temporary is intensely prejudiced,
and is so blind and bitter a partisan
that he is able to take only a lopsided
view of things.

MAP OF KANSAS. - Some wide-a-
wake salesman is advised to give the
residents Of this vicinity an opportu-
nifty to examine and secure a COPY of
the the new sectional map issued
April 10th, 1888, of our State, a copy
of which can be seen in our Office now
IN few days. Nice little points of
geographical accuracy have received
the most careful attention. The To-
cation of towns and their population.
from the census of 1885, is readily
found by reference to the index which
now accompanies each map. New
Railroads completed, new surveys,
and all recent changes, give a very
complete idea of the rapid growth Of

After the Assessor.

The attorney general to-day APP
piled to the Supreme Court for writ
of man damus compelling the asses
sors of Atchison county to assess real
estate and personal property in their
respective townships at its true cash
value. The petition sets forth that
the defendant assessors met at the
city of AtchisOn on the 1st Monday in
March and agreed and unlawfully
cOnspired to assess the property in
their respective townships at one
fourth its full cash value. The su-
preme court ordered an alternate
writ of mandamus against each of the
several defendants to issue, returna-
bic May 1st The disposition of this
case will be looked forward to with
much interest. Atchison county is
probably not the only county in the
State, the assessors of which assess
property at valuation far below the
true cash value, and the result will
affect all such-Topeka Journal,

A REIGN OF RUM.
A Former Anti-Prohibitionist
Converted.

Col S. S. Prouty of Topeka, a
former noted opponent of prohibition,
some time ago went to Las Vegas
New Mexico for his health. On his
return he tells the Commonwealth
that he is now a 'Prohibitionist" !.
He says: There are ninety-four sa-
looms open night and day, and on
Sunday in Las Vegas; a place Of not
more than 10000 inhabitants. Gam
bling saloons are regularly licensed,
and are run wide open.
''These open saloons called to nv
mind the day they were recognized
as business places in Topeka, and I
could but contrast Topeka with the
sights 1 saw there, and really wonder
ed at myself for ever having opposed
the movement that has brought about
the wholesome and moral conditions
that / see about me In this city,
Anyone needing conversion need
only visit the saloon towns, to come
back to Topeka, to Kansas, to bless
the order Of things existing here.

Nearly everybody calls our esteem
ed contemporary of the Democrat
Captain" and for a long time we
supposed our editorial brother had
been a gallant soldier, and when
meeting him we greeted him with a
military salute. Imagine our disap-
pointment when some fellow inform
ed us that the Democrat-man had
never been in the army, but was once
Captain of a fiat boat. Our inform
ants impression was, that he once
took a fat boat down the Mississippi
river loaded with hoop poles from
POsey county Indiana. Well, now,
most anybody could command" that
sort of Il boat when going down
stream but to navigate a democratic
newspaper craft and make it go up
stream requires some grit and lots of
tact. We believe the Capting has
had some experience navigating salt
river, and we expect him to go sailing
up that stream after election next au-
tumn.
