Forfeited Land Grants.


The last number of HTs LeHdiRJ Cases, q
mastery land and mining law journal Of
this city, contains an admirable article on
Railroad Rule" showing the domination
of corporate influences in the land grant
administration of the Interior Department.
Mr.. Hill calls the attention of Congress to
the urgent necessity for such legislation as,
under the forfeiture clauses of the several
railroad grants, will restore to the public
domain and to settlement, over 10000
coo acres of land which, as
records, have years since been forfeited to
the United States The Land Office religi-
ously protects these lapsed and forfeited
grants by keeping in state of permanent
reservation double the quantity of all the
land granted, although in most, if not in all
instances, it is said that no authority of
law ever existed for this proceeding. Re
served for railroad corporation" is the sign
planted by the Land Office on every acre of
2O0, ,OO0, 900 acres of public land, whieho1ght
years ago TO have been opened to public oc-
cupation, and to which whatever legal right
or equitable claim the railroad companies
ever had under the conditions Of their
grants, expired long since.
But il appears that not only is this vast
body of land kept out of market and pro-
hibited to homestead settlement by the
Interior Department, but that this Depart
ment continues to issue patents to the rail
road companies for the forfeited land, as if
it had nothing to do except to give to the
railroads all the land the companies are
willing to take. We are in possession of
information of some very large transactions
of this character of quite recent occurrence,
which we propose to see ventilated in the
proper manner. Meanwhile We commend
Mr.. Hills statement to the attention of the
Public Land Committee of Congress.

CRIMES.

CHICAGO, December 5.-ThiS morning,
Frank Banke, tailor, living in Siegel
street, cut his young Child's throat from
ear to ear, with butcher knife, killing the
infant instantly, and then endeavored to
kill himself He cut great cash in his
own throat and stabbed himself several
times in the stomach. The physicians say
he may get we'll. Banke had been ont of
employment some time, and had become
very despondent. He bought the knife on
Saturday.
DETROIT, MICH, December 5.-An unprO-
voked and horrible murder was committed,
last evening, in the western part OF the
city, by young man named Chas. Martin.
He followed an old man, of -, named
Christian TERMS, who was pcaccably car
rying milk to customers, whom he regular
ly served, asking him insulting questions,
attempting to pick quarrel with him.
Not succeeding to his satisfaction, he
knocked the feeble old man down, and
stamped his head out OF shape. of cOurs
killing him. He was arrested.
Saturday afternoon, on the day express
from Chicago, over the Michigan
Central, desperate struggle took place
between Henry ". White, alias Burton, q
notorious robber, bandit and desperdd0.
Ell route to the Detroit House of Correction,
and L. s. Marshal P. P. Wilcox of Denver
Col, who had him in custody. White, who
had been apparently engaged in reading
newspaper, suddenly rose in the rear seat
and furiously attack ed the officer with his
handouts, the lock OF which he had picked
with tooth pick, thus relieving his hands,
his feet being shackled, which
alone prevented his escape. The paSsen
gers all fled from the car except plucky
woman, Mrs Smithson, of Denver, who
rendered valuable aid by throwing her
arms about the neck of the desperate and
hampering him in his struggles. The mar
shal at first was somewhat stunned by the
blows from the handouts, which came
thick and fast, while White also succeeded
in wrenching his revolver from him, which
he attempted to fire, but it failed to dis
charge. Two guards who were in the bag
gage car smoking were finally apprised of
what was going on, and fastened to rescue
their chief, and the powerful villain was
speedily brought into subjectiOn. White
is a notorious stage robber.

on Thursday and took roOms on Sixth

Judge Cox, Judge Porter and others con-

them of the fallacy of Guiteau's alleged in
spiration. In his letter to Judge Cox he
demanded to be put on the stand and to
confront Guiteau, and tell when and where
to find this awful Deity of the Republican
party. The police were notified, and this
morning arrested him. He will be sent to

within the limits Of legality-and that
his intelligence, his knowledge Of right
