 The Supreme court of the United States has recently made an important decision in regard to State rights. The Chicago and Rock Island railroad, in the State of Kansas, passes through military reservation of the United States The railroad corporation in suit at law made the point that the State did not have or possess the right to regulate railroads within the bounds of an United States military reservation. Upon appeal, the Supreme court of the United States affirms such right in the State, deciding that the State does not lose it's jurisdiction by reason of the sequestration of the land by the federal government for special purposes. This decision, upon principle, should enable the State of Kansas to levy and collect taxes on the roadbed of said corporation within the limits of the corporation. In this the sovereignty of the State has been upheld.
 The forestry bill passed by the New York assembly Saturday provided for three com missioners who shall receive no compensation except travelling expenses, who are to serve for two, four and six years from February 1, 1886, and are authorized to employ a forest nd oil Tba' fifteen Adirondack counties are constituted forest preserve, and are placed under the charge of these commissioners, whose duty it is made to maintain the forest and promote their increase. They are also to have charge of the public interests of the State in forests and tree-p1anting, and especially with refer ence to forest fires in every part of the State. Railroads are required to take precautions against the starting of fires by sparks from the locomotives. Two other bills were pass ed; ono amending the penal code so that persons cutting trees or setting fires on the preserve may be punished, and the other providing that the State shall bear part of the school taxes in counties where it's forests are This bill is step in the right direc- ton.

Hitherto, it has gone to politicians who ran it as ma chine, to make places for friends of Con gressmen and the Secretary of the Treasury

OKLAHOMA.
Where Is II! Who Owns It2 OF Whom
Was It 0btained-Its Area
Its Present Status, Etc.

The following letter to the Globe
Democrat Will interest most of
our readers. The action of the U.
S. Government in the recent forci-
bic ejcctment of settlers ought to
settle the question, however, that
they have no claim to the "Beauti-
FIJI Land" and to obtain the right
to make homes for the thousands
of homeless families" there, they
must go to Congress through their
representatives for it:
The term "Oklahoma" is myth
cal and signifies beautiful land"
These lands lie west of 81 degrees
and extend to 100 degrees west lon
gitude, and between 81 and 81 de-
grees north latitude; and, accord
ing to late map published by the
Interior Department Of the General
Land Office, this tract comprises
an area of about 10000 square
miles or 25,0OO,000 acres Of land,
These lands are embraced in what
is known as the Louisiana pur-
chase" bought by the United States
of France in 1868, and it embraced
all the territory belonging to France
which lay west of the Mississippi
River. This cession by France yes
ted the title to said Territory in the
United States subject to the title of
Indians then occupying the Terri
tory. Thus, before the United
States could vest clear title to said
soil and guarantee the same, it be-
came necessary to extinquish the
Indian title to the land. This was
