4 Suit for Tresrass Brought Against
the Northern Pacific.

One Of the most important cases that has
been fled in the United States district
court for many years was recorded in st.
Paul on the 9Th inst. The United States
has commenced an action against the
Northern Pacific railway company which
involves millions Of dollars. 1t is charged
that ever since the road has been built,
about 1869, II has been trespassing upon
government land along the line, denuding
government timber lands. and causing
irremediable loss and damage 10 the gov.
eminent and its constituents.
These encroachments were made upon
lands and timber domain in various parts
of Idaho, Washington territory, Montana
and Minnesota. The suit promises to be a
prominent one in the history of great gov
eminent cases The great importance Of
the case is not merely in the amount in
volved in pecuniary damage but lies in tho
interest 10 the states at large in having 80
much of the timbered domain Invested OF
that for which it was chiefly valued.

A PRAIsEWORTHY CAREER.


Last week there died in ST. Louis one
HENRY SHAW, and the newspapers. of that
CITY have since devoted much space to
accounts of his life and incidents in his
career. His life seems to have been one
which merits all the good things said of
him. for he was benefactor to his race, a
philanthropist in the simplest and best
sense Of the term. If there were more
ike him the world would be better and
brighter than it is. SHAW was born in
England, and at the age of nineteen years
came to this country, settling in St. Louis.
BY industry and economy he accumulated
a fort me of $225, 900 when he was forty
years old. He said that was enough for
one man to take care of and retired from
active business, investing his money in
real estate. He then went to Europe, re-
naming abroad ten years, all the time with
an object in view. Returning to st. Louis
he devoted himself to the cultivation of
flowers, TO the improvement of his estate
and to deeds of charity. One of the
famous parks of America is SHAw's garden,
which for many years was the home OF
this man. Long ago he threw
open the gates aud welcomed all
10 the pleasurable spot. Afterwards
he gave the garden to the state of Mis-
souri,, aud made his home at Tower Grove,
another part of his immense estate, and set

REAL ESTATE PRICES.

Every little while we are told that real
estate in Salt Lake is too high, and pro
test goes up against owners putting such
extravagant prices on their property. 1t
is also said that these extraordinary figures
win prove injurious to the city in that they
viii discourage intending buyers, and men
are urged to come down with their prices
in order that sales may be made.
There are peculiar people everywhere,
and remarkable arguments are frequently
employed. II is undoubtedly true that
prices of real estate in Salt Lake are high:
whether or not they are above the value
we are not prepared to say. But that they
are too high we dispute. The only parties
interested in a real estate transaction are
the buyer and seller. The latter fixes his
price and if the former pays it, nobody else
can be concerned in the business. So far
as we are aware buyers of Salt Lake
ground are not complaining of high prices
that is to say, buyers who DO not purchase
for speculative purposes, and as to others
they would find fault if they were to get
land for half its real value if they could
not Immediately dispose of it for double its
actual worth.
AS to the high prices iniuring the city, ii
will take peculiar argument to convince
any intelligent person7of the truth of this.
We are Of the opinion that the injury will
fall elsewhere, coming on individuals
rather than on the town. The negotiator,
or middlemsn, may lose commission, but
the city will not suffer if certain lot shall
not be sold at a certain high price.
THE HERALD suggests that is the priv
lege, as it should be the duty, of the seller
of lot to get all he can for it. He is under
obligations to nobody to sell for less than
the land is worth, or for less than his price,
whatever that price may be. Most Of this
talk which we hear about prices being
high comes, not from those who want to
buy and hold, but from spectators who
are eager TO purchase low and sell at an
advance The owners of lots who want,
or are willing, to sell, will do well to insist
on their prices whatever the bears may
say TO them.

TANNERS MISTAKE.

Ina public speech Corporal TANNER re
Gently unloaded his surplusage of bile upon
HENRY WATTERsoN, the bright and shining
light of the Louisville CouricrJotrnGl. All
who know of TANNER here, and those who
heard him speak particularly, will recog-
nice at once the fact that he is in some cir
cles a wonder-worker with the magic of
words and that at all times he is an adept
in the use of the Queens English; but he
went too far and attempted too much when
he pitted his tongue against the brilliant
Kentuckian's quill The latter deyotes
half column of his paper to reply to
what is said of him, and the manner in
which it is done is too good to make
cursory review of it satisfactory; it ought
20 be read by everybody. The father of
the "star-eyed goddess first points out
the commissioner of pensions, so that all
may see him; then he describes him;
then he tells what the surplus dispenser
has done and is trying to do; then he
throws out handful of silyery, shining
lances, every one of which strikes into
the corporars quivering flesh, and having
thus impaled him leaves him alone to his
insignifcance.

when he tackled M. henri WATTERsoN.
