Right OF Way.

1t isofcourse generally understood
that NIL the interest the public owns
in the land over which oar highways
pass is simply the right of way. The
land belongs. as it di! before the
road was located, to the several es-
tates from which it was taken. HAT
any time the road is discontinued,
the land goes back to thos, estates.
Plain as this principle is. there are
curious questions of right arising
from time to time An interesting
one came up in connection with fish
in% right Il few years ago. An Eng
lish road had crossed IL little stream
by Il ford from Il time so early that
no one knew the beginning OF the
usage
In later years, when fishing rights
became valuable, the owners of land
along the stream made its waters
private property. as they had u
right to do. The ford, however, he
lonyed to the public as thorough
fare Gould the traveller east his
line for ~ fish while passing through
the water? Clearly this would be an
act of trespass.
But this did not settle all the points
at issue before the public yielded. A
bridge was built over the stream
just below the ford No formal dis.
continuance ofthe old passage could,
however. be obtained. People con-
tinued to drive through the stream,
tothe serious injury of the fishing
rights above and below.
Naturally the owners of the land
tried to prevent travel through the
water 1t wns contcnlled. on the
other part. that the horses were ac-
rustotne'l to drink on their way by
the ford, and that the bathing OF
their legs in the water refreshed them.
These We're held to be convenience,
of travel, ani We're not srrrende
by tile building o. the bridge.

LoSnox. special.-In his speech to his
constituents at Leeds last night upon the
new United States tariff legislation. Right
Hon. Sir Lyon Playfair. after giving the
tariff history Of the United States, said that
the promoters ofthe Mckinley bill sought
to prove that the measure was needed in
order to equslizc the difference between the
liighes wages Of the United States and the
lower wages of Europe, but their argument
would not bear examination. As whole.
wages in America had already been reduced
under q high tariff, and there seems TO be
no tendency to raise them. He entered
upon lengthy discussion of the effects OF
the tariff, contending that they would be
disastrous to American agriculture.

Maj. Burke general advance agent of the
Wild West show, accompanied by Nate
Salisbury and a number OF the Ogallala
Sioux from the Pine Ridge agency in Soutl,
Dakota, called at the White House to-day
to see President Harrison and have all in
terview with him relative to the Indians
being taken from the different agencies for
exhibition and circus purposes.
These Indians desired to have cheap
big talk" with the great father in order to
assure him that they were treated we'll on
the circus route and desired to continue in
the business. The Indian bureau has gen.
orally discouraged the taking of the In
dians for this purpose, and has been backed
up by the interior department. The presi-
dent refused to see the Indians and Private
Secretary Haliord told Mai. Burke that the
Indians would have to come next day and
take their chances with the other visitors
on public reception day; the president had
no time for general pow WOW.
1t Is not believed that the visit Of the In
dians and the Wild West agent will have
any effect, as Commissioned Morgan is de-
termined that no more Indians shall go
travelling with circuses.
