IMPORTANT LAND DECISION

AIN1OSI dN Ian ~ DEC1SlON.
The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has recently issued circu-
lar directing attention to certain Su-
preme Court decisions Of great interest
to those settled Oh government lands.
The Commissioner says:
Tin the foregoing, the Supreme
Court In substa ce reiterated the doc
trine previously announced in the case
Ut AthertOn vs.. Fowler, SO U. s., 5l3.
The syllabus Of that decision is as fol-
lows:
No right of presumption can be es-
tablislled by u settlement and improve
ment Of Il tract of public land, where
the claimant forcibly intrudes upon the
possession of one who had already set
tied upon, improved and enclosed the
tract.
Such an intrusion, though made un-
der pretense Of pre.empting the land, is
but max ed unlawful trespass, and
cannot initiate right of REDEMPTION.
In the future execution Of the pre-
emption, homestead and timber-cul-
ture laws you will he governed by the
principles laid down in these decisions.
LANDS covered by existing settle
ments are not legally open to home
stead, pre.enptiOn, or timber-cultu
entries, except with the consent of the
settler, and any entries of such lands
which, may he allowed under the pre-.
cmption. homestead. or timber-culture
laws will lie open to contest by the set.

RADICAL" REPLIES TO "CA TO-"


CLEAR LAKE, Iowa, Aug. %, 1870.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Permit me to
indulge in a few mild criticisms on the
positions taken by Cato" in his last
communication in the ADVANCE. lie
has drawn it much more mildly than
before, which hope is indicative Of Il
modification i'll sentiment from that
exhibited in his first article.
Cato" admits that drunkenness is in
evil. Now, if drunkenness is an evil.
the one who sustains that evil, know
ingly, by word OF deed, is committing
crime. This is fact from logical
sequence. I agree with "Cato'' that
lis long as the Government allows the
manufacture and the states, counties
and towns license the sale of liquor, it
will he fruitless to attempt to stop the
use Of it. 1t is like building fort and
charging it yourself, and when YOU
have partly demolished the works, fall
to and rebuild them again; thus con-
tinuing a ceaseless round of offensive
and defensive operations.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is well known
that 4 large per cent. of mankind
increase their appetite for strong drink
by their indulgence of it. "Cato'' i'd.
vocates this free indulgence. He SAYS;
"What business has one man in this
free country to tell another what he
shall eat, drink or wear?" And yet, in
this same article he favors the novel
plan of combining u man and forcing
liquor down him, in order to break him
OF thai which lie had Encouraged him
in through the untranmeled liberty Of
choosing his own drink" We candid
| ly believe that ''Cato's'' logic in thi:
respect is not good. Ills whole argu
ment seems to lie i'll favor of compro
missing with evil, or "loing evil that
good may cone" 1 admit that reac
tion often makes reformation, but
there must always be some pure mind:
or solid material for it to come in con
tact with to have it react. Were al
to adopt Cato 5" logic we should hav.
no reaction. LII order to have a reac
ton Oh the temperance or intemper
ance question, there must Ike II mora
element to he outraged, ard if that ele
ment be wanting in the community
there is hardly u chance for reaction,
