Another Postponement,

We learn from late dispatches
that the case of Martin VS.
LAWYER which was to have been
trie d in the Circuit court this term
as a test case of the title to the
even sections of land in this county
has a gain been postponed. The reas-
on sta ted for the postponementI Is that
Congress had made no provision for
paying jury to sit for the Circuit
court, and the Attorney for the Lea e
lie refused to go to trial without jury,
thus compelling the postponement of
the case until next November. We
do not want to be unduly censori Gus,
but the conclusion seems newt able
that this action on the part of tn at
torney for the Settlers is only another
manifestation of their i'm tention to de-
lay the settlcm ent of this matter as
long as posi- BILE. In the first place the
only favorable decision ever given
the Leaguers, was given by Judge
Brewer while on the Supreme bench
of this State, and it would certainly
seem that they ought to be willing to
trust their case with him again. In
the second place, and this ought to
weigh most heavily, the Leaguers
have always insisted that all
they wanted was to get their case in
to the Supreme court of the United
States. They have expressly stated
time and again that they would pay
no heed whatever to the Judgment of
any inferior court, and merely submit
ted their case to them because they
could not carry it directly TO the high
est court. If this be true why should
they so strenuously insist on their
right to a jury trial in the Circuit
Court? If they are really anxious to
have the matter settled as speedily as
possible and are determined to carry
it 10 the Supreme Court any way. one
would think that they would submit
TO any kind of trial that would give
them the right to appeal. The
truth is. and their action i'm this
last case conclusively proves it, they
don't want the matter settled. The
use of the land without the payment
of rent or taxes is as good a thing as
they want and they are in no hurry
to place matters on a different basis.
Such being the case, the only hope for
a settlement of the dispute must come
aided by the law abiding citizens ofthe
OouuSy. Lct every idilu OWUer whose
rights are violated by this organiza-
ton begin an injunction and ejectment
suit against the man who is unlawful |
~ on his land. When each member |
of the s. p. A. finds an individual
suit upon his hands he will take less
interest in the general welfare of the |
Association and will find that as a |
matter of dollars and cents he can bet
ter afford to buy his land or pay
rent than to pay attorney fees and
assessments. When it becomes more
expensive to belong to the League
than it is to be outside of it, we ma v
hope for better days.

citizens of Mineral Point should
