ingalls, said no objections to the
resolutions were proper, but he OBJ
jected to the preamble as tending to
commit the Senate to an Interpreters
ton of a decision of the Supreme
Court.
Van Wyck insisted that his pre-
amOle was correct.
In the course of the debate. he re-
ferred to the opinion of Att,rney
General Devens and Justice Harlan
on the same subject. and cri' ,cized
the opinions as well as the practice
OF the general land office in follow
ing the law laid down by hose
opinions rather than by the Sup
RENE Court Of the United States.
Replying to a question of Allison
in regard To Justice HarIan's
opinion, Van Wyck said it
was strange, indeed marvellous;
things had taken place in the Su-
preme Court as we'll as the
department of the government
in reference to public lands. He
Wan Wyck) thought the Senator
from Iowa (AllisOn) would concede
that fact; at least there was abuud
ant evidence of it in his (Alllson's)
State and in the sufferings of its
people deprived of their properly.
Millions of acres of the public dO>
main had been given to railroads,
Van Wyck .said. before the
Supreme Court decision referred
to, which thew were not entitled
to under the decision; and
although for time the general
land Office followed that decision, it
finally followed tie opinion of At
torney General. Devehs and Justice
Harlan. This course Van Wyck
censured.
The discussion closed by the in
sertiOn in the preamble of the
" ords sit is alleged" so as to not
commit the Senate to any special
Interpretation of the Supreme Court
decision So amended. Van Wyck's
resolution was agreed to.
The Senate went into executive
session, and Cd reopening resumed
consideration of the new rules, but
after short debate the matter was
postponed till after the holiday re-
cess.
The Chair laid before the Senate
communication from the Secre-
tary of the Interior, transmitting
copies OF papers relating to the at
tempt to transfer the Texas Pacific
Railroad Company's land grant to
the Southern Pacific Railroad Conn
pany in Arizona, New Mexico and
California. The Secretary con-
cludes his communication with the
statement that no acton was taken
by the Department on the subject.
The Senate concurred in the Joint
resolution of the House in relation
to the celebration of the CENTENARY

THE ROCK RAILROAD
Another Earnest Protest Against If
Editors Herald.

HU9COTS deTGLQ:
It Is with no small degree of plea
sure that have noticed the risinc
storm against the Rock Rsilroad
am glad to see that people both feel
and duly appreciate the insnto
dung into their faces by corporations
and mOnied men, in ignoring tha;r
wishes and comfort. Now. in tb;s
particular case, a few speculatorS
took it into their heads t nat it would
be splendid enterprise to builds
road from the mountains to the II
G. depOt-in fact, they saw money
III 1t. To obtain this, they did not
care continental about disturbing
the comfort and quiet of residents OS
miles OF streets, OF depreciating the
value of their property. of arousjnr
their axl-ty for the real or imaginary
danger of their children, the ruining
OF their houses and lots. etc. These
same men seem to think shat a few
iltry dollars will be a sufficient
plaster for all this heartache: shnt
they are mistaken. The FEELINGS of
the people are not always mercanf-
lie article. L ana not lawI er enouph
to know what rights the law grants
to railroad companies, out / have
heard 1t said that this comuanv will
locate their road just where thew
please IN spite OF all opposition
from the people and CITY Council.
1t IS such expressions that breed
bad blood. 1t is deplorable fact.
that OF late years q shoddy artistic.
cracy has been developed here. which
cannot comprehend any nobler
attributes than wealth, and a man
who has not yet the means to meet
them in their own arena is looked
upon with dlsdain. As for the buIk
Of our p pulation - the WORKING
classes-they have no rights that we
should respect. If they are in the
way of our aggr Indictment! Thev
manifest feeling pretty M 1ch the
the same as Vanderbilt when he
said, THE public be -" You
know it, don't your 1t is this dis
regard for the wishes and comforts
of the lower classes that has given
birth to the Nihilism of RUSSIA, the
Commune of France, The Socialism
of Germany, the Fenianism of
Ireland, and the working riots of
America and other places. The
people oegin to wake up TO the con-
yictiOn that the. riches of the kings,
nobility and arlstocracy have been
wrung out Of their sweat and sin
ews; they begin TO understand that
they are the founda ion Oh which
this dazzling structure rests, and
this conviction engenders envy,
hatred and revenge. We need not
go far from home to find illustra-
lions OF this. Take for instance our
own Cache Valley. A moro quiet,
peaceable, submissive people can
not De found anywhere, but see
WHIST bitter feeling has been
aroused among them by the opores-
sion and arrogance of the Union

wealthy in our Territory will be
more considerable and thereby avoid
unpleasantness. Y.
