HOW EQUAL RIGHTS To THE LAND NAY
BE ASSERTED A ND SECURED.
To trace much of the misery OF the
working people to the monopolization
of the land, is, to the Single Tax man,
an easy matter; but to make others see
it in the same light, is where his trou-
ble arises. The monopoly Of land in
the same sense-exclusIve use-that a
hat or other product of labor is monop-
olzed by its owner, is not that which
we decry with respect to the land; but
that monopoly complete and absolute
as if the land monopolized did not exist,
thereby contracting the supply ofavail=
able land, is our lament. Land should
be made common property by confisca-
tory rent. How shall we do it? Eco
nomically considered We could by leg
1slative enactment, or other method of
expressing the popular will, abolish. all
private titles declare all land public
property, and let it out to the highest
bidders in lots to suit, under such cor
ditions as would sacredIy guard the
private right to improvements. We
would thus have in our resent state OF
society, the same equal rights that in
a wider state are secured by an equal
division of the soil, and by allowing
the land to be used by whoever would
give the most for the use of it, it natur-
sliy follows that it would be put to its
most productive use. This has the in
dorsement of Epglandis great thinker.
Herbert Spencer. ''Social States, y
chapter 8. section 9.
But this method, however right and
practicable, is not the easiest. Weean
under present forms secure the same
results; therefore it would be very un-
wise to arouse needless antagonism.

Prostitution of the Public Service.

Tn an address to the Civil Service
Reform League, George w. Curtiss
said: There was never more COM

that under which the present admin
istration came into power. But no
party ever broke faith with itself and
with the country more completely.
"The spectacle of the moment is 9
great object lesson. The argnmentfor
reform is steadily driven home by wan
ton party prostitution ofthe public SER
vice. Happily there is conservative
and patriotic public intelligence which
Is the sure invIncible bulwark Of popn-
lar institutions, because il saves popular
impulse from its own excess. when
that intelligence fails, the Republic
ends.
s.As with all progress worth lighting

Delay and defeats are inevitable, but
Temporary. The advance Is sure. The

Grand Jury Presentments.

Nevada circuit court. May term S9.
 To TIE HoN. C. F. MITCHELL, JUDGE 9th, JUDICIAL CWCuIT:
 The grand jury at the present term of the court beg leave to report. They have examined into all cases of violations of the criminal law of which they had knowledge or could receive information, and have pre- sented true bills in cases where the testimony warranted. They find the public buildings and records in good condition, and the public offices properly and neatly kept; they find the roads in good condition; and find that the justices have filed their reports; they have examined the re- port of the county commissioners of accounts which have been duly filed but find nothing in it demanding the attention of the grand jury, but the attention of the Hon. County Judge is respectfully called to the same so that he may issue proper citations to the parties therein reported delin- quent, so as to force them to a settle ment, or enable subsequent grand jury to present them.
 The road overseers are in default with their reports, but owing to the fact that the county was not provided with copies of the road law to furnish to them, we have concluded not to present indictments against them, but to ask the Hon, County Judge to have copy of the road law fur nished to each of them, and the next grand jury will doubtless attend to the cases of those who fail to file the reports required by law.
 And now having fully discharged our duty, with our thanks to the court and it's officers, we respectfully ask to be discharged.

We notice that the deep water commission appointed by Congress to inspect the various harbors on the Texas coast. with a view of ascer- talning and reporting to Congress the most available point for the establishment of tirst-class harbor. have entered upon the performance of their duty. They have already made q partial examination of the port of Galveston; and. after com pletlng their work there, they will proceed al once to Corpus Christi, or Aransas Pass, and inspect its advan- tages and facilities for iirst-class port. As these are the only ports claiming superior advantages for deep water, the final choice for a deep water port will lie between them. It is to be hoped that thls whole question of deep water port for the Southwest, will be speedily settled, so that iirst-class harbor may be established either at one or the other of these competing points, and thus present another great out let for the immense and constantly augmenting productions of that large section Of our country lying between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains.

A terrible cyclone recently dcvas- tatcd parts of three counties of Kansas, killing several persons, and seriously injaring many others, be- sides the destruction of an immense amount of property. But short time previous to this calamity de- structivc forest fires were reported in Wisconsin. Minnesota and Michi- gan, burning up whole towns, and involving numerous houses and property in their march of desolation and ruin. Truly the northwestern States are having a hard time of it ; the blizzards and snow blockades in winter, and the cyclones and fires in spring, make up dark record of disaster and destruction, and furnish potent argument in favor of our mild climate. where no such calami- ties ever occur.

We transfer to our columns to-day the best centennial poem of this cen tennial era, and we commend it as a rare treat to our subscribers and readers. It is from the pen of the gifted poct-lawyer, Judge G. P. Smoote. of Prescott, and was orgi- nally published in Peterson's Maga- zine. While it will gratify our State and county pride to know that the author is one of the beloved sons of this State and county, it will at the same time rckindle the fire of patri- otism, by the thrilling memories of our ancestors one hundred years ago. It seems especially to refresh our mind, with the glorious achievements of the immortal Washington, who was truly first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his country men,
