The President Orders the Removal
OF Fences from Public Lands.


OF Fence. from Public Lands.
President Cleveland has issuel the follow
ing proclamation ordering the removal Of
fences from the public lands:
Whereas, ublic policy demands that tie
public domain shall Ee reserved for tho occu
pancy Of actual settlers in good faith, and
that our people who seek homes upon such
domain shall in no wise be prevented by any
wrongful interference from the safe and
free entry thereon to which they may be en-.
titled
And whereas, to secure and maintain this
beneflcent policy, n statute was passed by the
Congress OF the United States Oh the 25th
clared to be unlawful all enclosures of public
lands in any State or Territory, to any of
which land included within said enclosure
tho person, party, association, or corpora
ton making or controlling such enclosures
had no claim or color of title made or nc.
quired in good faith, or al asserted right
thereto by or under claim made in good faith
with Wow to entry thereof at the proper
land office; and which statute also prohibited
any person, by force, threats, intimidation,
or by any fencing or enclosure or other ul-
lawful means, from preventing or obstruct-
ing any person from peaceably entering upon
any tract Of public land subject to settlement
or entry under the public land laws Of the
United States, and from preventing or OBJ
structing FREQ passage and transit over or
through the public lands;
And whereas, it is by the fifth section of
said act provided rs follows: THAT tho
President is hereby authorized to take such
means as shall be necessary to remove and
destroy any unlawful enclosure of any o. said
lands, and to employ civil or military force
rs may be necessary for that purpose"
And, whereas, it has been brought to my
knowledge that by unlawful enclosures and
such as are prohibited by the terms of The
aforesaid statute, exist upon the public do
main, and that actual legal settlement there.
on is prevented and obstructed by such en-
closures and by force, threats and intimida.
ton;
Now, therefore, l. Grover Cleveland, PrcSi.
dent of the UnltcI States, do hereby order
and direct that any and every unlawful Ell
closure of tie public lands, maintained by
any person, association or corporation, be inn
mcdiatcly removed: and do hereby forbid
any person, association or corporation from
preventing or nbstructing by means Of such
enclosures, or by force, threats or intimiia-
ton, any person entitled thereto from peace
ably entering upon and establishing settle
ment or residence on any part Of such public
land which is subject to entry and settlement
under the laws of the United States.
And | command and require each and
every officer of the United States upon whom
tie duty is legally devolved to cause this
order to be obeyed and all the provisions of
the act of Congress herein mentioned to be
faithfully enforced.

PASSING BEFORE TIE TOMB.

For hours men and women filed past the
tomb The inner door Of oak was thrown
back The outcr door Of iron lattice work
was closed, but through the bars tho interior
of :he tomb and tho casket which contained
tho remains could be plainly seen. No one
was allowed to STOP or even to hesitate in
tie i,asty march. Us those in front were sub
je;:cd to Il constant anil hea"y pressure by

tomb had simply ah opportunity OF casting n
lice; ins glance at its interior. Few probably
saw the caskrt, as they had little idea Of what
to expect. Eu; tn" fac; that they lil'l looked
at the spot where General Grants boly lay

contained the fifty wrou,h Int iron rivets that
were to he put in the steel case and that were
to ias;en it to its stone foundation, with the
