N. Q. States,
The right to sell a family burial
lot in cemetery, after members of
the family have been buried in it,
has been denied in very inter
esting decision of Judge Daniels, of
tho New York Supreme Court. The
owner of lot in Greenwood Cemetery
having buried in it son and brother
and his wife's parents, sold 1t to a
stranger. The wife with christian de-
cency, brought suit to annul the sale,
The Court pronounces judgment in her
favor, not only because her money had
been spent in improving tho lot, but
also because it would be "offensiye to
the moral sense" to permit the sale to
a stranger of lot in which bodies had
been buried, with permission to re-
move them. ASIDE from the merits of
this particular case, and the precedent
established for similar cases, the ex-
plicit recognition of the "moral sense"
Of the public as a ground of judgment
is itself a precedent that might well
be followed in a great many cases of
actions that are technically legal, as
this sale was, but arc morally wrong.

An exchange says that "the Cath

decided stand against children of their

OF them have announced from tho pull
pit that only those children who went
to Catholic schools would be allowed
to take their first communion The
same announcement was made from
the pulpit at the Catholic church Of
this place last Sunday. If such re-
striction is TO be enforced, we presume
the children of Catholic faith whose

The Dakota Railroad bill.

A letter has been received by Mr.. Charles A.
Amsden the secretary Of the Pillsbury d HUI
burt elevator company, from ono of the CON-
pany's travelling men, which contains piece
of information, which, if true, is Of considers
ble interest. According to the letter their is
now discovered to be a clause in tile railroad
bill recently passed by the Dakota legislature
giving the commissioners authority to ix the
maximum freight rate limits. This clause, the
letter asserts, was not in the bill as presented
to the house. Had it been there 1t could hard
ly have escaped observation. But as the bill
has come out Of the governors hands with his
signature affixed, the clause is there. How it
ever got there nobody knows. Mr.. Amsden
yesterday showed the letter to Tribune re-
porter, and remarked that he thought his cor
respondent was to be trusted. "If it ia a fact"
be said, 'ft is thing Of great Importance to
US in Minneapolis, and thing which the pub
lie ought to be informed of. It is point,
however, which will need to be pretty thor

The Dakota Governsrship,

BISMARCK, Dak., March 12-The report from
Washington that the Dakota central Democrat
ic committee had agreed to recommend Capt.
Dan Maratta as candidate for governor has
occasioned considerable gossip as to probable
changes in the government Of the territory by
the recently installed national executive. Bis
marck people do not drsire change, but il one
is to be made they arc favorable to Maratta,
who makes his headquarters here considera-
ble part Of the time during the season Of navi-
cation. The Democratic party in the house,
consisting Of Messls Roach, Morgan and Kun
kle, express different views on the subject.
Mr.. Roach stated to your correspondent to-day
that in bis opinion the Democrats in Dakota
were well satisfied with the administration Of
Gov. Pierce, and did not desire change. Mr.
Morgan was quite positive that hla party wanted
to see general cleaning out Of Republicans in
Office, including the present governor. As to
preference for new executive, he thought

lislrei notice OF his intention to make proof
and payment and cited Smart to appear and
show cause why his entry should not be al
lowed. Smart appeared and filed his protest,
duly corroborated, alleging priority Of settle
ment and iona fide compliance with the law.
Hearing was commenced October II, 1858, at
which time issue was joined between the par

the time the defendant Mcmahon made his SET

land the plaintiff had not made bona fide
settlement upon the premises and had not then
established his residence thereon, nor had he
established his residence thereon previous to
the commencement Of this contest and that his
alleged residence thereon was only pretend

find that Mcmahon the defendant has complied
with the law and thathe is entitled to the land.

to find sufficient grounds for reversal Of your

School Land Decision.

YANKToN, Dak., March 12.-To-day Judge
Edgerton rendered a decision in a case which
is OF groat Importance to Dakota. 1t involves
valuable school section near Dell Rapids.
Upon this section is large quantity Of the COL
ebrated Sioux Falls quartzite, for which a great
demand has sprung up. Last fall G. H. Win
sor, L. s. Swezy, c. w. Hubbard and William
McBain, of Sioux Falls, and w. G. Metcalf and
q. A. Slsby, of Mitchell, filed mineral claims
on this land and organized the Dell Rapids
Mining company. These gentlemen expected
to make fine thing out Of this venture, as
over 100000 worth Of rock could easily DO
taken from the quarry. This land, however,
is reserved for the future school system of Da-
kota, and could IN no sense be subject to en-
tries of any kind, and the officers Of the Mitchell
land office made grave mistake in receiving
these filings, especially as the law does not
recognize building rock as q valuable mineral.
The matter was brought to the attention of
United States Attorney Campbell, who brought
suit against McBain and Hubbard for larceny.
also civil suit for ejectnent and damages. He
also asked the court for all order restraining
the parties from taking out this valuable rock
An injunction was granted and the parties
were summoned to show cause why the order
should not be made permanent. This case
was ably argued at the November term of the
United States court by the United States attor-
ney for the government and j. B. Gamble and
Winsor d Swezey for the defendants. After
fully considering the matter and looking up all
the authorities cited, Judge Edgerton to-day
filed his decision against the defendants. This
decision is in strict accordance with common
sense as we'll as the law, and Judge Edgerton
commends himself to the people by confirming
their right to this valuable piece Of property.
The defendants will probably appeal TO the
supreme court, but the rock Is safe until this
decision is reversed, a contingency not likely
to liappen,-PiOneer PTess

.... Reservation

Arthur's Order Opening the Dakota
Reservation.
A Washington special to the Pioneer Press
says Commissioner Price has asked Secretary
Lamar to suspend the executive order opening
the Winnebago and Crow Creek reservations
His communication is as follows:
To the Honorable the Secretary Of tho Inter-
ior-Sir: In view Of the fact that 1t is stated
on good authority that white men in great
numbers arc crowding into the old Winnebago
and Crow Greek reservations Oh the east bank
OF the Missouri river, in Dakota, thereby alarm
ing the Indians, and, in the judgment of many
good citizens, endangering the lives and prep
erty Of people in that vicinity, have the honor
to recommend that pending response by this
office to the resolution of tho nate dated
March 5, 1885, calling for information regard.
ing the status, etc., of said reservation, the
general land office be directed to suspend all
action, under executive order dated the 9th
ultimo, relative to said reservation, and that
such suspension he continued until further Or
ders from the department Very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
AAs hASht SOtIullboloueT.
The impression is that Mr.. Lamar will be in
elined 10 comply with tho commissioners re-
quest Mr.. Price has been opposed to the
opening OF the reservation from the start.
Delegate Raymond says of the matter:
don't believe the secretary will suspend the
Nder. l shall use every argument possible
against such action, and shall have the co-ope-
ration OF MIR. Teller, who knows the history Of
that land better, probably, than any man who
has had anything to do with it. Even IL the
order Is superseded, the settlers will hold on to
their rights to the land they have settled on.
/ feel sure Secretary Lamar will sustain tho
executive order by President Arthur, and that
President Cleveland will endorse it. l am in
doubt If, after the reservations have been open-
cd to settlement and rights have accrued 10
settlers, the order can be suspended and the
lands taken back. I think this letter by Mr..
Price will suspend work OIL the plats aud de.
lay getting them into the hands of the land
officers
Mr.. Jeslyn says that the order cannot he af-
fected by any suspension. When the govern
ment opens land to settlement by executive Or
der and men 20 Oh it in good faith, their entries
will hold good In spite of any attempt to take
the land back again. Secretary Lamar is not
likely to take any action for some days.
