The State was Terdy.

The supreme court rendered deci-
sion involving greater money value
directly than any before in its history.
In 1887 the state brought suit against
the Flint g. Pere Marquette railway
company to obtain title to 160, 900 acres
of land which it claimed came to the
state under the United States swamp
land grant Of 1850 instead Of to the
railroad under its land grant Of 1857,
under which the road had been in un.
disputed possession Of the land for
twenty. eight years.
The state secured o verdict in the
court below but coming to this court
the decision is unanimously set aside.
The court says that the lapse of time
that the state has slept upon it's rights
effectually estops it from obtaining q
titlo and that it has no claim in equity,
justice or good consience. The decis.
ion affirms title to the lands acquired
in the same way to the jackson, Lans.

Over ia 900 Land Patents
in 1891.

in 1891.
In his annual report Secretary Noble,
Of the Interior, Department has this
to say of the land Office business.
"In the execution of The public land
laws, the more liberal policy adopted at
the beginning OF the present administra-
tion has been followed with gratifying
results. Technical rules and the mere
suspicion of fraud are no longer allowed
to suspend final entries. The number OF
agricultural patents, which includes
those of homesteads and pre- emtions,
issued during the year was 114,300,
which allowing 1G0 acres to each pat
ent, would embrace an aggregate of 49,
297, 600 acres.
The number of agricultural patents,
which includes those for homesteads, is
sued for 1889 was 70,141: for 1890.
l17,247, and for 1891, 114,300; and
there were left of final entries for such
lands at the end of the last fiscal year,
June 30, 1891, only 64,162. These
are to reach benefciently our fellow
citizens in their homes far away from
the capital, and by placing in the hands
of the pioneer the title paper to his
homestead prove that his government is
mindful Of its promises and capable Of
living up to it's professions.

That's Right.

Those Of the legal fraternity whose
only pretentions to ability consists Of
their browbeating and intimidating
Witnesses, will read with considerable
regret and some alarm the recent de-
cision of Michigan's supreme court,
holding that such tactics are sufficiently
prejudical to warrant the granting Of q
new trial. There is another party who
will hail with delight such decision, and
that is the man who at some time or
other during his life time has been made
the subject Of some disciple Of Black
stones abuse and vituperation while
acting as witness. 1t has always been
q mystery why lawyer was allowed 80
much swing in court room, the very
place he should act like gentleman. ~
