Warming to the Pine Land Ring.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Van Wick,
Nebraska, to-day submitted the following
resolution, and asked that it lie over until to-
marks upon It:
WHEREAS, The records in the general land
Office show great abuses and frauds in surveys
allowed by deposit under sections 2, 4Ol aud
2,4O2 and 2 .403, Revised Statutes; therefore
RESOLVED, That the secretary of the interior
be directed, through the commissioner of gen.
eral land Office to instruct the surveyor general
approve no more applications for survey un-
der the deposit system, and that all proceed
ings be suspended under applications already
approved until further action by congress, so
that co tracts unlawfully procured may not be
recognized as valid.
ReSolyed, That the committee on public
lands make investigation of the nature and ex-
tent of such alleged abuses and frauds, what
redress may be had for any loss sustained bv
tie government, and what legislation is neces-
saIy to prevent their recurrence in the future.
Senator Van Wyck says the system of town.
ship surveys have become gigantic swindle,
and he proposes to demonstrate it in his forth
coming speech. The original law provides
that parties depositng money to pay for sur
veys, might get scrip in return, which
should be receivable in payment for land
within that survey. VanWyck says parties
seeing how it could be used, got the law
amended so as to make the scrip receivable for
public land anywhere in the United States. He
says an enormous ring has been formed which
includes most of the surveyors general and
other government land officers. and that this
ring makes survey of worthless land, and
then uses the scrip they get in return for de-
posits tor surveys to purchase the most yalu-
able government lands of the West; that last
year this ring made $2,000,000 out of this
method of operation, and he proposes to crush
the ring. Senator Van Wyck says he has the
proofs necessary to establish these allegations.

the assumption his own efforts to reduce the
public debt could be distorted into special cou.

thought, perhaps, the fallacy of that gentle.
mans argument was to be found in the fact
