WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--a Agents Of Pa
cific railroads are here with every appli
ance to defeat bills now before Congress
declaring forfeited certain Of their land
grants.n said Chairman Cebb, Of the
House Committee on Public LAnds, To-
day, and 1 look for one Of the hardest
hghts OF the session over these matters.
The railroads have pooled sheir issues
and organized strong lobby, which has
plenty Of money 20 spend, and evidently
mean 10 work hard TO prevent their lands
from leaving them. They have good
many friends In Congress, and i have
not the siightsst doubt but what there
are twenty members Of the House directly
Interested In these Grants, and they do
not hesitate 10 say that they believe IL 10
good thing for thees gigantic corpora
tions to absorb public lsnds.o
Mr.. Cobb was Of tbs opinion, how
ever, that scms Of the forfeiture laws
would be enacted this winter, despite
the railroads. There are several bills
now ON the House calendar, and IL was
likely that the one relating TO the North
ern Pacific Railroad would be brought
mp first.
The Committee ON Pablo Lands win
have its hist m<etipg to-day, and arrange
its plan Of action. Il has ten forfeiture
bills yet 10 report, bat these will be ready
Ia q lev weeks.
The National Republican says: . The
Northern Pacific Railroad bill, IL enact.
ed, will take from that corporation NO
less than 35. 600, 600 acres Of land, located
west Of Bismarck. in Dakota. Montana,
Idaho and Washington Territories.-
These lands are worth $40 an acre. ON
an average. and their total value IN all Of
x360, 100000, and an English syndicate
has offered to buy the whole tract for
$500 000 600 II the title oan be made
good. Settlers upon these lands make
bitter complaint that the railroad now
demands OF them $50 and $50 an acre
for their homesteads, although IL was
understood, when they first located. that
the price should be $500 an acre. They
have cultivated the lands and greatly
improved them, and are now asking that
Congress shall grant them relief from
the extortions of the railroad. The At
lantio and Pacific has 10000. 900 acres
at stake, the Texas Pacitic 5.000, 900,
and other roads an aggregate Of about
l00, ,u00, ,O00.n

How to Stop Eence-Cutiing.


Westherford, January q In great
public emergencies and excited ques-
tons Of public policy, the mark is usu-
all lover shot" and the thing that
ought 10 be done is so simple that the
great minds" cannot get down on a
level to take hold of it. The more
laws they pass and the longer the pre-
antilles aud provisions they contain,
the more the cutting won't stop.h
Now, here is a little simple plan that
will stop the whole business
]. Pass law defining the offense,
with punishment by fiue not less than
$3.50, or fine and Imprisonment not to
exceed five years, as the Jury may AS
sess.
. Give the county attorncy.S5nO fee
for each conviction TO be taxed and col
lected as other costs, out of defendant,
and in event he is insOlveLt, to be paid
by thu state
8. Give the sheriff 500 for each ar.
rest, to he taxed and paid on convic-
tom as above. II this Is done, these
two oiiicr r. willcatch and convict every
fence-cutfer in Texas. Backbone aud
money, properly applied, will do the
work. The reward" business is folly
Pay the local officers in each county a
sufficient fee to enable them TO do
their duty, and the work will be done.
A hint to the wise.is sufficient, but pos.
sibly the legislature are otherwise, but
II the rest of you can listen at long
winded bosh and read of other fences
