Hold Them.

Secretary Noble Says Railroads Cannot
Hold Them.
WAsHrSaroN Crry, Aug. 30.-The seere-
tary OF the interior today decided the case
of the Central Pacific road against s. d.
Valentine, involving the question of the
exception of mineral lands from railroad
grants. The particular tract involved is in
the Sacramento. Cal, land district. The
secretary held that by the terms of the
railroad grant ali mineral lands are ex-
empted from its operation. whether known
to be mineral in character at the date
when the railroad company rights at
tached under the grant or not. If they are
discovered to be mineral lands at anytime
before the issuance Of patent to the COM
pany, or certifcation, where patent is not
required. He also holds that the discovery
of the mineral character of lands after the
company's rights have attached to the
granted lands. proves such lands were
mineral In character at the date when the
company right attached. and were there
fore within the terms Of exception from
the grant.
This decision is Of vast importance to
railroads running through mineral lands,
and Is contrary to the doctrine laid down
by Judge Sawyer, United States circuit
judge in California. in recent decision in
the case of Franconia against Newhouse.

He (PIumb) did not believe in bargains
where one side did all the trading.

He (Plumb) did not believe in bargains
where one side did all the trading.
Allison replied to Piumb's strictures.
He was in favor of the general principles
of protection to American industries and
American interests, rs he understood
them. and therefore IL was when the minor
details OF the bill were reached that he sur
rendered his own judgment and stood
upon the enlightened judgment of his ASSOC
ciates. He expected, however, that on
some material points in the bill he would
be found in antagonism to some of his as
sociates on the committee. He admitted
he never had been satisfied with the wool
schedule. He did not believe it would be
wise for American fai mers to undertake to
produce low-priced woods. but he was will
ing to give them q chance to test the ex-
pertinent Hawiey informed Allison that
whenever duties on wool were reduced 1t
would be found WOODEN manufacturers
would show an equal readiness to have
duties on WOODEN goods reduced Alii-
son said he was not prepared to
suggest that great producing
industries should not be protected as 9TH
ers we're. When the country was willing
to be put on q free trade basis he would go
with Carlisle in motion to put wool on
the free list. bat until that time was reached
he was in favor OF caring for wooi-growers,
as he was in favor of caring for their indus
try. As to the needs Of the government in
regard to revenue, he would speak on that
point when sugar came up for considera-
ton. and thought he should be able to show
convincingly that sugar should be put on
the free list and consumers relieved of 2
cents pound on the price.
No action was reached on the paragraph.
Adjourned.

Dillon and OBrien.

1t appears that john DILLON and W.
LIAM O'BR1ES have taken sudden leave OF
tho Tipperary justices. and have gone
out Of the British Dominion towards a
land where there is more. freedom and
greater appreciation of men of talent.
Perhaps they have forfeited their bail.
but should the men who stood for
them be required 20 pay up they will be
fully reimbursed by the National League.
This seems certain, and therefore the ac-
cused are guilty of no faithlessness to
friends. Free in this respect there was no
other sort Of reason why the accused
should remain to face court organized
against them-one of whose members had
in fact prejudged the case.
We fancy that Messrs. DILLON and
O'BRrEs will be seen in the United States
before very long. Here they have business /;
important business IN presenting TO our
free and prosperous people the condition
Of the peasantry of Ireland Who, between
misruie and famine. are having a hard
time of it.
There will be general JOY amongst the
Home-Rulers when they hear that their
champions are safe on American soil.
A question, it seems, was raised whether
the bondsmen of accused are liable. the
charges having been altered since DILLON
and O'BmEs came into court, but the men
who we're so ready to pronounce against
tho accused would not allow their
Judgment TO be tempered with too much
mercy, as TO the liability of the fugi-
tives' sureties. However, the final deci-
sion will be with higher court.
Alas, what a laugh there must be at
the Tipperary constabulaTy.
