plying any trust, and as the govern
.ment paid full value for the grant, il
acquired the full title held by the
Baca heirs, and consequently nc
trust having been created, the settlers
in the case assumed could claim
nothing under a contract between
the government and the Baca heirs,
because they, the settlers, were not
parties to the contract.
1t is the duty of the government
to survey the land at once as a part
of the government domain, and, this
having been done, every one entitled
to portion of the grant can secure
title to the same under the 10th sec.
ton of the late act of congress,
establishing land court, by a sim
pie and as certain process as title to
any other portion of the public do
main can be obtained.

The Worcester, Mass, Gazette
says editorially: "The New York,
New Haven g. Hartford road will
probably be the first steam railroad
in the world to substitute electricity
for steam on large scale. This road
was known to be constructing four

licly that the 2-cent rate tracks were
to be equipped with special reference
to the use of electricity instead of
steam to propel both freight and pas
senger cars over that portion of the
line between New Haven and New
York. When the plant is ready the

The title to the land in question
having become vested absolutely in
the United States, what subsequent
act of the government has Invested
it out of the United States? No such
act exists, and no attempt at any
such act has ever been made.
But it will be said that the senate
committee report above referred to
shows an intent in Congress TO buy
out the Baca heirs for the benefit of
those on the lands in question.
But the report itself is no part of
the congressional act, nor does the
report in any manner intimate how
that intent of congress is to be effect
uated. 1t was therefore left to be
effectuated under the general land
laws of the United States as they
then existed and as they might be
subsequently amended.
The act gave the settlers the same
rights and privileges in the land in
question as other settlers on other
unsurveyed government lands have
under the general land laws of the
United States.
If the peculiar circumstances of
the case render further legislation
necessary to fully carry cut said in
tent of congress it is still competent
for congress to legislate hereafter as
in its wisdom it shall see fit IN order
to effectuate said intent as shown in
SAID committee report.
But it may be admitted by those
claiming under the second so-called
grant that the act Of congress could
not confirm their void grant, and still
they might possibly contend that the
act of congress acted as a new grant
10 Jnem, W tdhc ehCOO vi ui0 ON'ih
guishment by the government of the
title to the Baca heirs.
The answer to this contention is:
First-There is nothing in the act
indicating any intention of congress
that 1t should operate as such new
grant to take effect in the future.
Second-Whilei it is true that if a
party gives two warranty deeds to
two different persons for the same
tract of land owned by him, the title
will vest IN him who was the first to
receive one of those deeds, and if the
grantor subsequently reacquires the
title, it will inure to the party hold
ing the other warranty deed; but
this principle does not hold IN case
of quitclaim deeds; and the fourth
section of the act of congress above
referred to explicitly limits the effect
Vi TIC dCI W llldl VI q HNibNi"ihi3 NiiN
the assumed case resolves itself as
follows: The government having no
title to the Las Vegas grant quit
claims it to the second class of
grantees, whoever they may be, and
subsequently the government ac-
quires title by purchase to the land
in question. That title would not
enure to the second class of grantees,
but would remain in the government
with the same effect as if no such
quitclaim had been given.
Again, it may be contended that
there was an implied contract be-
tween the government and the Baca
heirs that the governments purchase
of their title should be for the bene-
fit of the settlers on the Las Vegas
grant.
There is no language in the act i'm

LAS VEGAS GRANT.
Brief of o. D. Barrett in the Case.

The following is copy of the
brief filed last fall by Hon. o. d.
Barrett, partner of Hon. Benjamin
f. Butler, showing his view of the
Scolly and Las Vegas grants. 1t
will be found interesting reading, as
the views of an eminent lawyer on
the subject:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 90, '9l.
To the Honorable the Secretary of
the Interior, Washington, d. G.
SIR-On the 18th day of May, 1887,
General BENZ. F. Butler, being
part owner of the Mora grant in
New Mexico, with a portion of
which the Scolly grant conflicts, filed
with the commissioner of the general
land Office a petition praying that the
John Scolly grant, reported number
0, be declared null and void on ac-
count of the refusal of the claimants
to accept the confirmation of the
same, and that the necessary steps be
taken to make such declaration effec.
tive.
On the 9th day of June, 1887, that
petition was referred to the surveyor
general of New Mexico for report
on facts of the case.
On the 2lst of the same month the
surveyor general reported the facts
of the case to the commissioner of
the general land office.
On the Cd day of July following
the commissioner addressed letter
to General Butler enclosing a copy
of the surveyor generals report, and
stating that the surveyor general
Suggest that judicial proceedings be
instituted by the government requir-
ing the Scolly claimants to make
their selection within stated time
or in default thereof be barred of
their rights" The letter further
states that a new survey of the Las
Vegas grant has been ordered, and
the letter concludes as follows: 81
am inclined to the opinion that fur.
Their action upon your petition is i'm
practicable on the part of the govern
ment until the status of the land EN-.
braced in the present survey of the
Las Vegas claim is determined"
-Four years have passed without
any further action having been taken
on said petition and am not in
formed as to what action, during
said four years, has been taken to
determine "the status of the land
embraced in the present survey of
the Las Vegas claim"
l have consequently examined the
case with care, to determine for my.
self the true status of the land en-
braced in that claim, and have come
to the conclusion that it became part
and parcel of the public domain by
purchase from the Baca heirs with
no rights to the same vested in the
settlers on said lands different from
the rights appertaining to other set
tiers to unsurveyed public lands on
which they may have settled.
/ will add a copy of an opinion on
the subject wherein l refer to the
facts and to the statuses on which l
have based my conclusion as above
set forth.
If that conclusion shall be deemed |
correct, adopted and acted upon, it !
will open the way for judicial pro-
ceedings TO vacate the Scolly grant,
or compel its acceptance with the
set to il by congress, and |
R1abe the best possible solution for

expectations. She only places one shoe
for Santa Claus to fill when he descends
through the stove-pipe.
Ninctte is fast asleep, and has a won
dcrfnl dream. She sees the heavens
open, and Gods holy angels lowering
around, fitting with golden wings.
One of them, with halo round his
head, comes down to her, q bright star
lighting up his way lie fans her with
his wings, and strews flowers on her.
And before he flies away he has
changed winter into spring, made the

is there on the shoe, moving and chirp-

lasped hands, gazing in ecstacy on what
she truly believes to be Il miracle
wrought for her benefit.
A live bird is perched on the shoe,
and peers, with twisted head. out of it's
bright bead-like eyes. Most likely it
flew in through IL broken pane in the
chilly dawn of New Years day, but
Ninctte thinks Santa Claus put it
there.
So greatly is the child absorbed in
fervent gratitude at this unexpected
gift, falling in with her dream of Heav-
en- and the angels, that it will take her
quite awhile to find ont that somebody
else has visited the cold garnet during
the night, and has handled that coarse
little shoe on the stove. We notice that
it is turned round since Ninette placed
it there on Sylvester night, and we
trust and believe by its stuffed appear

Of the old year, that the children in

They do not call him Santa Claus, how

goes by the name of 'etrennes"
When an American girl and little
French one compared notes once on the
subject they came to the conclusion that
Santa Claus could not reasonably be
expected to work on both sides of the
ocean at the same time; and as it would
take him quite II week to cross the
water, he could not possibly attend to
French children before New Years evc
Both the French child and the American
thought it was quite funny that Ameri-
can children hang up their stockings
near the fireplace, while French chill
drcn put their shoes close to the crate
for the convenience of the dear old
gentleman who has such a busy time of
it and has to squeeze into such tight,
sooty places while he goes on his er-
rands, stutiing stockings in the west
and shoes in the cast.

know of small boy who took off
his shoes and walked to the fireplace
to set them there over night. But sud-
denly it occurred TO him that his shoes
were rather small, considering all the
things he had written on list and
mailed to Santa Claus. And So the
smart youngster got his fathers large
hunting boots that reached up above
the knee, and placed one on each side of
the chimney. Santa Claus, however,
cannot be fooled so easily, and when a
boy plays Il joke on him his old friend
pays him back. When the small French
boy awokc on New Years day and ran
to the fireplace, he found one boot
stuffed with hay, while out of the other

Ihe Mental Struggle of the Man Who Is
Working for Office.
The political Mrs Grundy is Il phan-
tom conjured by the .pprehension of
politician of what he supposes to be the
opinion of the people or of party The
inevitable result of the apprehension,
writes George William Curtis, in Har-
per's Magazine, is to regard that gen
cral opinion us mean and unintelligcnt,
SO that the politician is often trying to
conform to a standard that he despises.
Instead of asking what does the public
advantage require and what ought to
be done, he wonders what he can do
that will ALLEVIATE the least votes.
craftsmanship, he says consists in do
ing what Won can. not what you would.
But the fault of that apotlicgm is it's
vagucncss. You know what you would,
but no man until he tries knows what
he can. 1t is certain that you can do
safely what is generally approved. But
the vital condition of progress is that
somebody shall go first. The forward
step is not generally approved until it is
generally taken, and in arguing that it
ought not to be taken until it is gener-
ally approved, you forget that taking it
is the way to secure approval. The i'm
portant point is not what Mrs. Grundy
says, but what she ought to say.
