JAMES +. LEGATE.
The editorial in today's Globe Democrat
referred to in connection with James F. Lee
gate says:
ST John. early in the campaign, secured a
letter from Senator Plumb introducing Le-
gate to the republican national committee as
a person authorized to act and speak for him.
and that Legate stated to the republican COM
mittee that St Johns original idea was that
he ought to get S250,000.
The article says further that Legate ex-
planned to the committee how St. John could
be of service to the republicans stating that
ST. John was to say in his spec ch that the
choice, it was evident, was between Blaine
and Cleveland, and that as Cleveland repre-
sented "whiskey and disloyality' he was for
Blaine that he was to be accompanied in the
canvass by Legate, as prominent politician
from Kansas, who was to verify all that st
John said, and the State prohibitionists, of
Kansas, would all vote for Blaine. After a
good deal of discussion it was agreed to pay
St. John S25,OOO.
The Globe-Democrat says that it has made
out one side of the case against St. John,
viz: That he sought and failed to get money
from the republicans and that ST. John di-

MORMON LAND FRAUDS,

Cheyenne Sun, 18th: Captain I.
T. Evans, special agent of the gener-
al land Office for Utah and Southern
Idaho, was here yesterday and left on
last nights train for Salt Lake City.
A Sun representative, in talking with
him abont Mormon affairs in Utah,
asked him what the situation really
is. He replied that there would not
be any danger from preconcerted riot,
as al preparations for such things
would be carefully watched, and there
would always sufficient force at hand,
civil and military, to suppress. The
real danger lies in sudden outbreaks
and riots where the Mormons are
largely in the majority and where
great damage could be done before a
force could be brought to check it.
AS agent Of the land office, Captain
Evans says he has discovered numer-
OF cases OF the coolest kind of land
frauds, which have grown out Of
dense ignorance on the part Of the
lower element of Mormons. and the
duplieity and cunning on the part of
the head men. The ignorant and
unnaturalized proselytes of the Latter
Day Saints have taken possession of
vast tracts Of land, and have believed
that they held it in fee simple from
the church, the government not being
considered in the matter, and they
have thereafter decided the land to
the church leaders, Brigham Young
heretofore and President Taylor now,
who hold it under the titles presum-
ably obtained by homesteaders and
the like.

Col. Geo. Gray, general counsel for
the Northern Pacific Railway, when
asked about the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court in re-
gard to the taxes Of that company
said: ssThe suit Of the Northern Pa
cifc against Rockers, county treas
urer of Trail county, Dakota, which
has just been decided, is in no re-
spect different from two cases decided
by the same tribunal, in which the
Union Pacific Railway was party.
The first of these decisions was in the
December term of '72 and the other
rendered in the October term Of IA
Rockers, as county treasurer, wanted
to collect taxes on Northern Pacific
lands IN his bailiwick, and suit was
brought to restrain him from so do
ing. In none of these cases was the
title of the railroad company inyoly-
ed, but inasmuch as Congress had
pronounced that the patent to lands
should not be obtained until they
have been surveyed and conveyed by
the railroad companies or other par
ties interested, the Supreme Court
held il ali cases that retention of the
patent was security for the payment
of costs and the United States having

money and was released. For some

stealing. The deputy sheriff has
spent some time in Butte looking for
him, but without success. He had
