On last Sunday night tizWin dance was broken on the Pima Indian agency near Sacaton by the Indian police, who confocated the ''oh be joy ful" along with the other implements of war connected with the spree, and ordered the dance be discontinued un- der penalty of arrest and punishment. Tie present agent, 1t appears, proposes to have these drunken orgies aban- doned by the Indians. which is cer- tsinly commendable, as murder is not unfrequently the result of these sprees. -Prospector.

| INVESTMENT or THE SCHOOL FUNDS
| The constitution of Nebraska declares
/ all funds belonging to the state for cdu-
cational purposes, the interest and In
come whereof only are to he used, TO be
trust funds to he maintained forever in
violate and undiminished. The constitu-
/ ton contemplates the permanent invest
mcnt of these funds In United States,
state and county securities and throws
around them every possible protection
/ against their dissipation. The most odl-
Gus scandals from which the state has
suffered have arisen out of the misap.
pTopriaiiOn of these funds or their en-
ployment for purposes of private specu-
I lation. These scandals and abuses can
only be effectually headed off by the
permanent Investment of the school
funds IN long time interest bearing
bonds. Their investment and rcinvcst-
ment in state warrants that have but
II comparatively few months to run may
serve as temporary eXpedient when
other securities included within the CON
sttutional provision are not available,
but there must always be danger in us
| Ing this money in such speculation
either on public or private account.
| The action of the State Board of Edu-
cational and Lands and Funds in rcfus-
| ing to make an offer for the school fund
for the proposed issue of Douglas county
bonds at their market value snvors very
much of an attempt to hold the school
money for speculative purposes. 1t is
in direct contradiction of the policy out
lined not two years ago by Governor
Ilolcomb as member of the board and
a distinct reputation of the platform
| pledges upon which the pOpulst state
officials were elected. We doubt If a
stronger argument could be made
| against the employment of the school
funds in speculation and in favor of
their Investment in county bonds than
is TO be found in the governors open
letter OF June. 1896.
If Governor Holcomb believes what
he then wrote, how can he afford to
let himself and his associates follow in
the footsteps of the Churchill-Russell-
BARLEY board, which he so scathingly
denounced? If the governor still re
tains his former sense of duty with re-
spect TO the investment of the school
funds, how can he let the first day of
December arrive, when the bids for the
Douglas county bond issue are to be
opened, without calling II special meet
ing of the state board and forcing its
members to purchase those bonds for
the school fund at their fun market
value?

The Nebraska delegation to Houston,
Tex, has delicate mission to per
form in properly representing the inter
ests of Nebraska in the deep water con
vention to be held there. The railroad
journey from Nebraska to the gulf ports
seems Il long one, but 1t is not as long
as 1t used to be, and as traffic increases
on the north and south lines of railroads
the mutual interests of the gulf ports
and the Nebraska fields will be in
creased. 1t is proper on every occasion
to do that which will tend to harmony
among those who are working for the
upbuilding of the transmisSissippi re-
Sion or any part of it and to better
understanding of how the people may
become helpful one to another. and this
will be especially appropriate at the
convention in Houston.

4 CnANCE EnR rnRN.


What to do to increase the demand for
corn and thus improve the price of that
| cereal is a question that has been under
consideration for very long time.
There is no question that as food corn is
wholesome and that properly prepared
1t is exceedingly palatable, while at the
same time ii is economical. Yet even in
this great reproducing country 1t is
used by most of our people sparingly or
not at all, while Europeans will not
have 1t on their table, even the poorest
of them prcferring to 1t the poorest quail
ity of wheat and rye bread. The efforts
that have been made to cultivate taste
among Europeans for corn has had
very unsatisfactory results; indeed they
have demonstrated that there is a prelu-
dice against the cereal which it will be
hardly possible to overcome. The feeling
there is that corn is fit only for beasts
and that 1t Is something of reDronch
to Il human being to eat It, There is no
such prejudice among the American peo-
pie and yet many of them. perhaps a
eating Of corn.
one of the leading agricultural papers
of the country the Orange Judd Farmer
suggests plan which 1t thinks would
contribute to such education. 1t pro-
poses the organization of corporation
with the object of urging upon public
attention the use Of corn as food and
suggests an international exposition de-
voted to the corn plant and its products,
to be held in 1899. The exposition. says
that paper, should exhibit the corn plant
in all its stages of growth and of every
kind and variety, ancient and modern.
The manifold uses of the corn grain
would be shown by exhibits of all forms
Of corn food preparations, also stock feed
by-prOductS. The manufactured products
from corn grain would also be shown.
\ cooking school should demonstrate the
thousand and one new and old methods
of cooking corn and its products. .rhe
essential idea of the great exposition
should be to increase the consumption
of maize ut home and abroad. To this
end it should be worked upon such a
comprehensive scale as to attract inter-
national attention and widespread notice
throughout Great Britain and the con
tinpnt.'
The suggestion seems to be sensible
and practical. Undoubtedly there would
be no serious opposition to Il liberal aD-
preparation by congress for promoting
such an exposition and the corn pro-
ducers of the country could be depended
upon TO supply all the corn required for
the exhibit at nominal cost. There is
on the plan proposed would have very
beneficial results.

UNCLE SAM AS 4 LAND OWNER.


Tho statistics of the general land Office
show that this country, first and last, has
had the prodigious amount of 1,SS5, OF ,962
acres of land to dispose of. This area in
cludes everything not in the original thir-
teen states, as now constituted.
These lands fall into four classes. First
are these already disposed of or appro-
prated. They include pa 414,395 acres sold
for cash, 1O2, ,2S0, 22S taken up as homesteads,
165, ,476,402 granted to states, 106, ,5S4, ,S9S
given to railroads and other roads, canals
and river improvement projects, state or
corporation, 100000 900 in private grants, 60
252,790 in military bounty warrants. 16 49,
I 22S in timber culture entries, and other
smaller classes aggregating 741 702, ,365 acres
under this head. For various reasons these
estimates are rough, but they are near
enough to the true amounts for practical
purposes.
Next we have the reserved lands. These
include 81 ,645 Alb acres set apart for the
Indians, 1898 2S0 as forest reservations. g.
2I2,96O as national parks, S25, 425 for forts
and other military purposes, with enough
miscellaneous to bring the aggregate to 1872
AL, ,774.
The third great class comprises the lands
OF Alaska, in which few surveys and dis
posals have yet been made, the aggregate
being S69 1929, 600. With the advance of civ
iiization Alaska may not remain wholly a
class by itself.
Finally, we have the fourth class, or
lands now vacant and subject to settle
ment, amounting to 591,343.953 acres. OF
these. however, nearly half or 272 294 120
acres, have not yet been surveyed The
largest body of vacant public lands is in
Montana, 7l,432,9l7 acres, Nevada follow
ing with 6l,57S,5S6, and Arizona, California
Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah and Wy
oming each having over 40, 900, 900 acres
But while these figures of the extent of
the public lands available for settlement
arc so great, practically a large part of the
best land, in accessible places is taken up.
The arid tracts not susceptible of irriga-
tion and the mountain and forest regions
which cannot now be used for farming
constitute a very considerable portion of
the nearly 600, 100000 acres of vacant pub
lie lands. The old saying that "Uncle Sam
is rich enough to give us all a farm" Is
not heard much nowadays. He is still
big land owner, but has been lavish with
his best possessions
