In the case Of the State Of Minnesota
against the St. Paul & Sioux City Rail
road company the Supreme Court de-
cides that railroad does not forfeit its
corporate franchise by discontinuance
of its business as railroad company in
consequence of having conveyed its
road to some other company. This
suit was commenced by Attorney Gen.
eral Hahn, being an action in quo war
ranto to enforce the forfeiture of the
charter of the corporation principally
upon the ground that the road had sold
its franchise and was merged into an
other road. The purpose of the Attor-
ney General was to force sale of the
vast amount of land held by this
road by land grants in aid of it's con-
struction, and thereby subject the land
to taxation. The land held by the Sioux
City road exceeds 100000 acres, and, if
taxable, would yield revenue to the
State Of at least $5O,000 per year. This
settles the question for the present that
these railroad lands cannot be taxed
by the State.

A few days since Judge Dickinson, of
the supreme court, filed a decision in
effect destroying all the tax titles taken
since 1881. The law of 1877 provided
that notice of expiration of redemption
should be served on the owner of the
land 80 days before redemption expir.
ed. A law of 1881 attempted to repeal
this section, and the supreme court
says this law is unconstitutional, which
leaves the law of 1877 in force, and this
provides that before a party can perfect
a tax title he must serve personal no.
tice on the owner of the land 80 days
before perfecting his title.

During the Presidential campaign of
1884 the Republican speakers and the
Republican press freely intimated that
if the ex-Confederates were given pow

movement would be begun for the re-

Gratis in the North declared the prohecy
a campaign lie, but the wisdom of the
assertion has already been demonstrate

Democratic president was inaugural
ed, Mr.. Merriman. a Democratic men,
Der from New York, introduced a bill
which, if passed, would open the door
way for the payment of the whole Con.
federate debt. But a passing notice
was given this bill at the time of it's in
PRODUCTION, but last Friday Judge Full
lerton, an eminent lawyer Of New
| York, appeared before the committee
on war claims and eloquently advocat-
ed the passage of the bill Judge Full
lerton had not spoken a dozen SEN

mittee that his mission and the scope Of
the bill above referred to meant the
payment by the government of the six
hundred million. dollars Of outstanding
| Confederate bonds, issued to wage war
against and destroy the federal govern.
ment. In his remarks Judge Fullerton
said: "The young men before him
would live TO see the Confederate debt
all adjudicated and paid by the federal
government. It was an honest debt.
The bonds were bought in good faith
by innocent purchasers, and no govern
ment could exist which stood upon the
basis the federal government hac
taken.' A Washington special says
many Of the Northern Democrats are
much embarrassed over the appearance
Of the subject at this time, and are
charging that Judge Fullerton was hir
ed by the Republican congressional
campaign committee to raise the ques

but the lie is given to this statement by

Without the remotest authority,
Commissioner Sparks recently issued
an order suspending allapplications for
entry under the pre-emption, timber
culture and desert land acts. This last
order exhausted the patience of Secre-
tary Lamar and he at once revoked the
order. The commissioners only ex-
cuse for issuing the order was that GER
tain acts of congress will be annulled,
ad interim, because a repeal of those
acts is now under consideration. Sparks
is a crank and he should be given the
g. b. forthwith.

hopelessly ruined. The fields are black

worse every day. Investigation shows
the stringers to be so rotten that they
can be rolled to powder between

there are great cracks in the ceilings

dents leading to the murder, is as follows:
Robinson and sat on seat In wagon coming

| wagon with myself and Joe Robinson: that was
all that were IN the wagon; Carlson was sitting
on boz in the hind end Of the wagon Carlson
said he was a good man; Robinson had told him
(Carlson) to take care of some sacks in the back
part of the wagon: Carlson told Robinson lie
was not his (Cnrlson's) boss and jumped from
the wagon and pulled off his coat Robinson did
the same; the men stood there and talked;
told them 10 get in the wagon; Robinson
got in the wagon and started the team Carlson
fired three shots from his revolver; Robinson
jumped out of the wagon and snid lie would see

To the Editor of the RECORD:
In company with John McCrory made
trip recently up the Cannonball River
as far as Louis Agards cattle ranch.
where Mr., M. had twenty -onc head of fat
steers Louie is an old resident of En-
mons, and it does any ones soul good to
meet such men. During the two even.
ings we stopped at the ranch Agard re-
hcarsed the doings Of old times (forty
years ago., when wild horses and buffalo
were as plenty as gophcrs are at present.
We met many of our old-time friends
among the Indians. By the way, Mr..
Agard says the old stock of Indians arc
dying fast, and in twenty-five or thirty
years full.bloodcd Sioux Indian will be

wonderful progress under the control of
Major Mclaughlin. No one can see it
more plainly than man who thirteen,
years ago was in the employ of the gov
crnment, and helped erect the first build
ing put up at Standing Rock. Then the
Indians, who had only just come in from
the hostile camp, wore nothing "a Ia
mode" White man, dog soup, wild
game and good government beef formed
their daily diet. Buffalo robes and gov
crnment blankets were good enough to
cover the back of the most noted chief
A yoke of oxen or mich COW were of
no earthly use, except to make soup in
case of failure in the dog crop. They
then preferred a good elk-skin lodge TO
good log house, to- live in. The women
then wore dresses manufactured from
tanned antelope skins, garnished with
cut-glass beads of all colors, and fringed
with elk teeth. The men did no work,
and all the drudgery fell upon the
women. But to-day any one can sec
loaded wagons going here and there in
every direction, drawn by oxen and driven
by the young warriors of thirteen years
ago. Nearly every Indian has large
piece broken; plows. sows and reapsI,
keeps COWS, pigs, hens, and everything
belonging to q well-regulatcd farm. In
fact the Indians will become self.

continue tile satt1e rapid strides toward
civilization. Yesj Major Mclaughlin

Indians have evcf had. BILL WADE.
