of papal interference In the affairs of
Ireland that have marked the policy
of the vatican from the DAYS of

and from the reiga of that pontitf to
the present time, tho last circular ad.
dressed by Leo MIL to the Irish

impertinent. If the Irish people
submit cravenly to this latest Italian
lash, the whip being furnished by the
pope's ally Victoria, by the grace
of God" and so forth, Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland and EN-
press of India" they will forfeit the
respect of the world at large. Bat
what are they going to do about III
may be ssked. We reply, let them
hold public meetings throughout every

sternly denouncing any more of His
Holiness unholy Intervention In Irish
politics, and tell him once and for all

his own business as head of the Gath.

without being misunderstood, that the
Irish ace cannot be bulldozed Into

THE u. p. LAND GRANT

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secre-
tary of the interior delivered an opin-
Ion upon the question submitted by
the commissioner of the general land
office regarding the propriety of with
dra wing from entry and settlement
cdd sections Of land within the In.
demnity limits of the Northern
Pacific railroad. The commissioner
was of the opinion that the recent
decisions by the secretary had tended
to reverse the uaual practice of the
land eff 20 In such cases: Namely, to
withdraw lands comprised within the
granted and indemnify limits upon
filing of the map of definite location.
In his decision the secretary denies
this construction Is to be
placed upon his former decisions
and holds the matter is open for
consideration of the department.
After quoting granting acts of 1864
and 1870, the secretary calls attention
to the fact that they do not provide
either specifically or generally for OK.
ecstive withdrawal of land within
either the granted or indemnity limits.
The power of the department to with.
draw granted lands without such d.
rection is beyond question, says the
secretary, and authority to withdraw
indemnity lands must follow and In
fact such authority has been repeat
eddy exercised. The company claim
that the acts operate as absolute TO the
exclusion of the right of entry in both
granted and indemnity lands from the
moment of fixing the route of definite
locator. This is undoubtedly tr1c
of granted lands, but to indemnity
lands the law gives no title, but a
right to acquire title by selection
bssad on q deficiency In the granted
lands.
The acts place the whole subject
under the direction of the secretary
of tho interior, and 1t must be held
that the power resides In that depart.

ner, aud to what extent the statute
exe-cisea such control and direction,
30 as to give to the public, IS well as
the particular grantee, all the rights
and privileges granted By law.
The secretary says: II cannot shut
my eyes to the fact that vast areas of
lands (public but for a right selectiop)
lying within the indemnity limits are
barred to settlement, and that the
area of arabic lands open to settle
ment Is not great when compared with
the increasing demand, and Is rapidly
diminishing. II the company negleots
to make its selections, and takes a6-
