RAILROAD INDEMNITY LANDS.
A CORRESPONDENT writing from Inert 7 "a

A correspondent writing from Albert Lea
requests the GLOBE to republish the letter
of Mr.. S. j. ABBOTT in reply to Mr.. j. IL.
DRAKE concerning railroad indemnity
lands. Our reason for not complying with
the request is the length of the document,
and the additional fact that all the points
which are so ably and clearly brought out
by Mr.. ABBOTT have been presented to the
land commissioner, and no good can result
from further discussion of the subject
through the public press at this time.
There is no reason to doubt that Commits
sioner SPARKS decisions will be correct.
He has evinced wonderful ability in
grasping the various and complicated
features of our public land system, and
has displayed equal nerve and honesty
in dealing with the question. He
has proved himself an official of incorrupt-
ible integrity and shows no signs of yield
ing to the influences of corporations or to
the power of gold. He has stood like
stone wall between the people and the
rings. His rulings have been eminently
Just and in accordance with the stricteSt
technicalities of law. Although he is now
and then assailed by some newspaper which
has been subsidized by the land rings, he
knows well enough that he has the conf
dence of the people and feels encouraged to
90 ahead in the good work which he has
undertaken. A clamor is now being raised
that his rulings in regard to land grants will
ieopardlze the titles of some OF the actual
settlers who bought their lands from the
railroad companies in good faith, and upon
this pretext he is being urged to change and
modify his decisions. There has been no
disposition manifested by the land COM
missioners to do injustice to any one. Ii
settlers are the sufferers from his rulings, it
is not the fault of the administration. 1t is
the fault of the railway corporations who
sold land to which they had no title from
the government. The purchasers have re-
course upon the companies who sold them
fraudulent land titles. There can be no
injustice in a righteous decision. Nor is
there any probability that the present adj
ministration will be swerved from the path
of duty by sentimental appeals. The rail-
road land grants will be lawfully adjusted.
1t is the settled determination OF this adj
ministration to restore to the people all of
the public domain which has been filched
from them. The government will not at
tempt to reclaim what does not belong to it,
but it will have back that which has been
stolen.

AIMING AT JUSTICE.
A Plan ON Foot to See that Gov
eminent Claims are Paid.

A Plan ON Foot to See that Gov
eminent Claims are Paid.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Every session
of congress is deluged with demands for
private legislation for the relief of people
who, in many cases, have equitable claims
against the government, but no standing in
the court of claims. Year after year reme-
dies are proposed, but none are tried. A
small move in the right direction is now in
progress in the interior department.. At
the last session of congress $4,000 was ap-
propriated to enable the secretary of the
interior to investigate the claims for COM
pensation for depredations committed by
Indians. This investigation was to
cover all claims, whether favorably
reported heretofore or not. These
claims aggregate $11,000 900, and are
mostly payable out of funds held by the
government for the various Indian tribes.
The investigation is now being made by
three persons appointed by the secretary,
one of them being MI. Stevens, eX-chief
clerk of the Indian Office, and the others
two lawyers, each one being paid SIS a day.
The findings Of these three investigators
are revised by the commissioner of Indian
AFFAIRS, OF HIS CIll0I cl6rK, anu results, as
fast as they are reached, will be transmitted
to congress. The investigation is a
better one than any congressional commit
tee would give and, if congress would vote
without debate to pay the awards reported
to the secretary and by him transmitted to
congress, approximate justice would be
done and congressional time would be
saved. But there are always few con-
gresslnen who will never lose a chance for
winning little cheap reputation by resist
ing the payment of a claim. If it be an old
claim they denounce it as stale, and say it
would have been paid long ago if it had
been good. If it be new they are ready to say
that it ought to be investigated some more.
In the last congress the present attorney
general introduced bill referring TO the
department of justice for examination of
claims which had no standing in the court
Of claims. The department of justice was
to report to congress annually the results of
its Investigations, and in uncontroverted
cases the wards of the department were to
be appropriated for by congress. just as
judgments of the court of claims are appro-
priated for.

FARGO, OAK, Nov 17.-Joseph Fuller,
a prosperous farmer of the west part Of the
county. was arrested last night and had an
examination before Justice Plummer in

burg, late postmaster, 1000 bushels of

years crop, which. as Mr.. Brandenburg
supposed, would be cents bushel. Mr..
Fuller accompanied his family on their
way East to spend the winter, and after the
train left Mr.. Brandenburg discovered that
the checks were for last years wheat, stor-
age on which was IL cents bushel, max
ing difference of $435 TO- He telegraphed
to Sheriff Haggart and had Fuller arrested
at Fargo. The justice bound him over in
500 to appear before the grand jury. and
Mr. Brandenburg will also bring suit to re-
cover the money which he claims he was

Cattle Growers, Convention.

CHICAGO, Now 1.-THE national con-
vention of cattle growers of the country as
sembled at the Sherman house to-day,
under the auspices of the National Cattle
Growers association. The object of the
convention, which is the third of a series of
similar annual meetings of stockmen, was
to discuss the interests of the cattle
industry. Delegates were present from
all the organizations Of breeders of
fancy stock. dairymen, ranchmen and
stockmen of every state and territory.
The convention was called to order at 1890
by D. w. Smith of Bates LII. Henry E.
Alvord. New York, was made temporary
chairman and J. S. Dean OF Michigan sec
rotary. The roll-call showed there were del
egates present from twenty-three states and
territories, as well as Canada. Hon. Norman
j. Colman. United States commissioner
of agriculture, read an address on the cattle
industry Of the country and its needs, which
was listened to with great interest. Few
people. he said, had any idea of the magni-
tude of the industry. A column of cattle,
twelve deep, with one end resting on New
York city and extending to San Francisco
and back again to Boston would contain
about the number of cattle there are in
the United States. The value of this vast
herd is 81, 200, 900. 900. The annual product
of these animals exceeds in value four
times the yearly earnings of all the
railroads of the country. The great
danger, which threatens this great
source of food is contagious diseases.
What is needed, the speaker said, is
national law for Strengthening diseased
cattle and the stamping out of disease by
determination. For this purpose congress
should be asked to appropriate money. Ex-
Gov. Grinnell of Iowa moved that Vice
President Hendricks and Senator Allison of
Iowa. who are in the city, be invited to take
part in the convention. An invitation wa.
extended. EX-Gov. Grinnell of Iowa spoke
in favor of the presentation of the needs OF
the association to the government, so that
adequate measures might soon be taken to
stamp out the disease, Other speeches
made on the subject showed that the gen.
eral feeling was that ample funds should
be provided by the government to stamp out
pleurO-pneumonia.
