THE SIOUX CITY GRANT.

The Sioux City railroad land grant is not
Dnly matter Of public concern but is one
about which there are conflicting opinions.
Consequently the GLOBE, which always
takes an interest ia matters pertaining to the
Northwest, has opened its columns to a
discussion of this question in which both
sides are at liberty to present their views.
Some days ago we reproduced an article
from the Rock County Herald, alleging that
the Sioux City Railroad company was in
possession of lands to which it was not en-
titled by virtue of its grant. Subsequently
we published reply from the vice presi-
dent of the railroad company, in which the
company was defended from the assaults
made by the Rock County Herald cores
pondent. In to-day's GLOBE will be found
letter from an Ottawa correspondent,
who takes issue with Vice President
DRAKE. As we have stated, this is mat
ter of public concern, and consequently the
public is entitled to know the facts. The
only interest that the GLOBE has in the
matter is to arrive at the truth. There is
an impression that the Sioux City Railroad
company holds lands that were not intended
to be conveyed to the company by the general

THE CAUSE OF TT.

The strike which throws 100, 900 men out
OF employment does not present to the New
York Times the appearance of serious
affair, as it thinks it can see an understand
ing between the owners and employees of
the establishments to close down the iron
mills and furnaces with deliberate purpose
to curtail production until prices shall again
be advanced. This theory of mutual UNI
derstanding that work shall be brought to
standstill in order that the condition of the
market may be improved involves the sup
position of belief among the iron workers
that it was better for them in the long run
to be idle for awhile than to accept lower
scale of wages than they felt themselves
entitled to when the business was in pay
ing condition. 1t is also assumed that the
Amalgamated association has resources
which will enable its members to spend the
summer in idleness.
We fail to see the indications of the
mutual understanding the Times is conf
dent does exist. The truth is the iron and
steel business is suffering from oyer-stim
ulation and is at present the victim of one
OF those spasms of depression which always
affiict highly protected industry. The
iron business is the victim of a protective
tariff policy because the regulating forces of
outside competition are kept from it. The
capital invested in furnaces and rolling
mills cannot be withdrawn, nor can the
0vergrown works be kept going at the low
prices which now prevail. The result is
they are compelled to close down, and the
1OO,0 900 iron workers are suffering in conse-
quence of tariff policy which stimulates
industry for while only to subject it to
the severe depressions such as now. throw
them out of employment.

government. If this impression is correct,
then it is due to the people of Minnesota
that the facts be ascertained and the lands
be recovered for the benefit of the people.
If the impression be erroneous, then 1t is
equally due to the Sioux City Railway COM
pany that the facts be made public and the
company be relieved of an unjust suspicion.
A public discussion and presentation OF the
facts by both sides to the controversy
can do no harm and may lead to great
deal of good. If it be developed that the
railroad company has been uniustly ac-
cused of land grabbing, then a just act will
have been done by vindicating them through
the public press. If on the other hand it
should be developed that it has goobied
up lands to which it has no legal or
equitable title, then it is duty the people
of the state owe to themselves to have the
facts collated and laid before the interior
department at Washington i'll order that
the people may have their rights protected.

The Minnesota Boat Club.

The members of this club held large
and enthusiastic meeting at the boat club
house on the island last evening for the
purpose of making arrangements for the re-
gatta on the Fourth of July, and for gen.
eral business. 1t was determined to have
regatta on the Fourth upon grand scale,
and an unusually large appropriation was
made for it, and also for improving the
lawn tennis grounds and the running track
on the island. 1t was also determined that
the boat house should be newly rooted,
Fepainted and reftted. No determination
was made about going to Moline, but the
matter was left to be settled after the

THE MARKETS.

The stock market was irregular and weak
at the opening, without any important re-
actions during the day, and slowly yielded,
on limited transactions, until after ? O'Clock,
when there was a break in the active stocks,
which was not checked until just before the
close of the board, when the market closed
barely steady. The net result of the day s
work is a loss of y to - per cent. The St.
Paul & Manitoba shows gain of y per cent.
while Omaha preferred is down l g per cent.
The wheat market was on a boom yesterday
and at Chicago an advance of 1$4c was made.
ST. Paul wheat was firm at old figures, and at
Minneapolis it was about the same. Alto
gether il was a strong day for wheat.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Sioux City Railway Lands.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
In your issue of June 1, Vice President
E. F. Drake of the Sioux City road makes
some remarks directed to some former cor
respondent. We do not doubt Mr.. Drake
is welLqualifed to give the needed informa-
ton if he chose to do so, but believe he
speaks in the interest of the Sioux City
road and knows more than he cares to make
public. After eulOgiZing some OF the prom
inent men of the road, which necessarily
are all interested or have been in the st.
Paul & Sioux City road, to Substantiate
the belief that he speaks for the ST. Paul "
Sioux City road, and that the figures he
gives are not what they seem at first sight
to be, he says: ''By act of 1857 there was
granted for the st. Paul & Sioux City DAD
six sections per mile for its whole length of
1888 miles, which, if a full grant, would
give 721, 900 acres, under the act of 1854,
4S1, $50 acres The company has received
LOSS, 500, leaving it still entitled to 114,-
O0O." This sounds all very well, and Mr..
Drake makes it look very neat by reckon
ing the grant of 1857 as full grant. when
he very well knows it was not. We have
reasons to believe he knows that there were
quite number of reservations in the grant
of 1857, in which there were numerous
tracts claimed by settlers on account OIL
prior filing by the settler. But he confesses
he does not know of any land improperly
certified or patented. But we know at
least that Secretary Teller, when called
upon to test the legality of certifications
of certain lands to this road
left it upon record that he was not without
doubt it had been secured by fraud. But
doubtless Mr.. Drake knows best.
1t seems very queer that a road out OF
pocket a. grant is so willing to build
$50 miles additional without grant, and
holding on with deathlike grip to some
three hundred settlers farms in this state
which were improved and settled upon
prior to rights of this road. OF course it
all does very well to show how nicely the
road is operated, etc., but with all due
respect it seems to SAVIOR of "the end justi-
flying the means" Yours respectfully,
Ottawa, June 3, 1885. III. j. f.

Ora ND ARMY NOTES.

When the excursion to the encampment
was proposed, Department Commander
Becker and others arranged to 60 by the
Grand Trunk road, that line offering good
facilities and favorable terms to the Grand
Army. 1t was supposed that most of the
Minnesota and Dakota veterans who will
go to Portland would join this excursion
and all go on the same train together.
Some of the Minneapolis boys, however,
kicked on that arrangement and on Thurs
day night, at a meeting, large number
concluded to go by the Michigan Central
road. In ST. Paul this is regarded as I'M
fortunate, owing to the fact that general
order had been issued designating the
Grand Trunk as the route the Minneapolis
department would go by. 1t was hoped
that special train of two or three cars
would be secured through to Portland for
the use of this department and the break
made in Minneapolis is regarded as an un-

fortunate one. The ST. Paul people, how
ever, and large number of the Minneap-
oils boys and the department officials will
adhere to the original plan. There will be at
least one and perhaps two carloads OF them.
Gov. Hubbard has granted the use OF $50
tents belonging to the state for the Grand
Army encampment at st. Peter which will
occur next week.
Assistant Adjutant General Norton will
reorganize post in Jordan OF twenty-five
members tonight.
The department commander and chief
mastering officer went fishing recently to-
gether, and the boys are requested to re-
frain from mentioning the matter to the
former officer, as he is believed to be mite
touchy on the subject.
The Grand Army will as body take no
further action regarding the present Bend

HARRIS REPORT.
At the National Conference of Corr
rectiOns and Chareties.

rectiOns and Cigarettes.
Rev. IL. H. Hart, state secretary of the
board of corrections and charities for Min
nesota, took with him to the national con-
ference now being held in Washington
report of the work in Minnesota for the
past year. He was to have submitted it
yesterday. The report, after an allusion to
the work of the two years of the boards
existence, states that the legislature, recog-
nlZing the importance of the work lntruSted
to the board, established it Oh a permanent
basis. The various acts of the legislature
last winter are then recited, the statement
being made that six out of eight suggeS-
tons made by the board were favorably
acted upon, which are briefly noted and conf
mented upon, the board to locate the third
insane hospital, the appropriation for de-
tached wards at the st. Peter hospital, the
commission to locate the state public school,
and the one to locate second state prison,
the provision for gymnasium and shops at
the deaf and dumb institute, being men
toned. The report then recites that within
the past year has occurred the first resigna-
ton of a superintendent DR.. Knight who
had been with the institution for imbeciles
and idiots since its inception. His loss is
source of regret to the board.
The rapid growth of st. Paul and Mime
apolis, from total population of 10000 to
200, 900 in five years, the report says has
called the attention of the people to the
need of charity organizations. The asso-
ciated charities and the Friendly Inn in
Minneapolis and the independent charity
organization society of ST. Paul are favor
ably mentioned. also mention is made OF
the WaShburn home. The secretary says
that with added growth of the state re-
formatory prison for young men will proba-
bly, spring up. He closes with an express
sion of the hope that the national confer
ence next year may be held in st. Paul.

Owing to the failure of the Minneapolis
club to play to-day the lacrosse match for
the championship Of the United States is
postponed. The st. Paul club returns thanks
to its many friends for their generosity in
buying tickets and regret the necessity for
such course. Those who bought tickets
can either hold them for the next match OF
return them to j. +. Smith, corner Fourth
and Sibley, and have their money refunded.
1t may be added that the Minneapolis club
gave no notice whatever of its intention
to forfeit the match until 3 D. IN. yesterday
afternoon. The st. Paul club incurred
considerable expense in having the grounds
at White Bear rolled and properly prepared
for the game, and the members have put
themselves to considerable trouble to make
the necessary arrangements for so import
ant game. This is the second time the
Minneapolis club has challenged the St.
Paul club and then refused to play.

pose.

Gottlieb Kanne, respondent, VS.. The Mime
g apolis & st. Louis Railway Company, ap-
pellant.
Syllabus-In proceedings to condemn land
under special laws of 1870, chapter 81, the
assessment of the damages by the commits
sioners being void for want OF notice of the
time and place of their meeting, the land
owner is not forced to move to set aside the
award, but may attack it collaterally in any
action in which rights are claimed under it.
A mere license on part of the land owner to
the railroad company to enter the land
would constitute no waiver OF the objec-
lions to the validity of the award.
Neither would it constitute such waiver
that the land owner moved to set
aside the award, upon the united
grounds of the want of such notice
and of misconduct and Irregularities
on the part of the commissioners, and that
the award had not been paid.
The decision of motion or summary ap-
plication, (at the East where it is not
appealable), is not res adiudicata, so as to
prevent the parties from drawing the same
matters in question again in another action.
The word ''or'' may be construed as con-
junctive where the sense of the statute
plainly requires it. Judgment affirmed.

KANSAS Republicans seem to hold a grudge
against eX-Gov. ST. JOHN. One writing to

rival, 'BoLINGBROKE, ever stood so deserted
among his former friends. His rancor against
