says: - k4 ,,a.f.,.,..
ln reviewing the foregoing cases. the
General Commsndipg has moi over
logked the fact that The severity Of the
punishment inflic,rd-especislIy in ihe
cases OF Shirley and McBride-is great
er than could be justified in ordinary
times Of peace, when, the usual process
Of civil law could BE-. executed. But.
in view Of the fact that The arm Of The
civil authority is paralyze and power
less TO protect the live. aud properly OF
peaceable citizens in the border .coun-
lies Of Kansas and Missouri, wien civil
war has resulted in the organization of
briyands aud bandits to prey upon
society, and when tue usual restraints

Our Homes.

II is no longer a secret that Bober,
Corwin. Of Ohio has ov-rbid ihe actual
settlers here on some seventy five ol
the best claims On tte Kaw Trus, Lands.
OF all the sales Of pnblic lands since
the foundation Of our Government, this
exceeds all in enormity. Here are
seventy five men settled in good faith;
they have worked for years making
homes for their families:-m many ii
them have made improvements tn the
amount of hundreds of dollars. Il does
not seem credirable that a being of hu.
man feelings. could ihus rob families Of
their homrs. So tits. and wha; mikes
it worse everything goes To show that
the Interior Department, a, Washington
are partners in the infamous transac-
iion. The Treaty provided ,hose lands
should be sold under such regulations
as should be 6xed by the Secretary of
the Interior. Tie Secretary had the
land appraised. also the Improvement.
were appraised. and in the published
advertisement we were told that to get
the lands we must Did not only unon
the land but upon the improvements and
that no bid would be- considered unles,
the amount Of The improvements were
bid. Settlers here applied TO the In,e.
rior Department TO ascertain what their
lands End improvements were appraised
At. but we're told they could NOT yet,
such Information. that it was private.
Yet the bids Of Robert Corwin SHOW
eoncIusive!y tha, he not only had ,ha,
information. but hat he had full access
TO all the information in the Interior
Department. That Corwin will have
these lands awarded TO him. We think
IS more than probable. for .very circum.
stance indicates that he has partners in
the transaction. Ii is true he has no,
bid on the improvements, yet how easy
for the Department to repudis,e all ,ha,
and award the land. especially IL they
want to. We wish Corwiu would come
out here and see how the settlers feel
about it. We are confident eyery man
would favor suspension Of the writ Of
Adbeas corpus. Council Grove Press
