PERALTA -REAVIS CASE.
Hearing Concluded and Case Submit
ted Without Argument-Decision
May Be Expected SOon-Fraud-
ulent Character of Grant
Clearly Established.

AS announced in these columns yester
day, the hearing of the celebrated Peralta-
Reavls land grant case has been conclud-
ed in the United States court of private
land claims and the case submitted to the
court without argument. 1t is presumed
that decision will be handed down in
the course of week or so, probably be-
fore the adjournment of the present
term.
The hearing has been very exhaustive
and the dispositions and testimony intro
duced on the part of the government by
United States Attorney Reynolds have
beyond all doubt established the fabri-
Gated and fraudulent character of the
pretended grant from beginning to end.
The marvellous structure erected by Mr..
Reavis on foundation of elaborate and
plausible perjury and forgery has been
so completely riddled and dismantled
that it is now merely mass of distgured
and unsightly ruins. Its beauty, symmet-
ry and apparent strength have forever
fed.
Speaking of the chief claimant,
Mrs. Peralta- Reavis, Mr.. Reynolds says
in substances We have identified her
from the time of her birth; have found
that the records of her birth and baptism
at the San Bernardino mission were un-
questionably forged and interpolated;
have the testimony of the custodian of
those records that the entries were no
doubt forged; have found that the per-
sons designated as god-parents of the
win children, of which Mrs. Reavis pro-
fesses to be the survivor, never heard of
| tod 4 70.
have traced the facts backward until we
finally got to the point where the woman
was really born; have traced her particu-
larly from the time of her birth until we
located her in the possession of Reavis
in 1887, since which time she has been
claimant; and thereafter neither under
the claim of 1888, nor under the amend
mended claim of 1887, nor under the claim
of 1892, will the people of this country
ever hear anything more of the 'Peraltf
grant, except as myth; nor will Reavis
and his alleged wife have occasion OF
opportunity to protect the noble status
and purity Of blood of half-breed In
dian"
Clearly this is the beginning of the enc
of the wonderful case.

SOUND SENSE.

Whenever the Dayton Times talks
politics it breaches sound sense In
its last issue it says:
There are hosts of aspirants after
the Wardenship Of the State Prison,
and the Board of Prison Directors
should weigh well the claims of each
aspirant before the appointment is
made Besides securing competent
man to fill the position the party
standing Of the candidates should be
taken into consideration The Silver
Party made a clean sweep with the
State ticket last Fail, but it was not
done with the wish of one or two of
the now aspirants for Warden. And
the fact also remains that some of
these Wardenship aspirants fought
their county Silver tickets, and in
some instances defeated some OF the
Silver Party nominees, simply be-
cause they could not control the con-
vention and boss the nominate ms.
Such aspirants as these are not worthy
of recognition, and the Board OF State
Prison Commissioners should be care
full not to make any such sc ection.
They will not give satisfaction to the
workers in the party. and rather
weaken than strengthen it in the cam
paign to come two years hence.
Straight Silver Party men should be
placed on guard in all departments.
There are just as good men in the
Silver Party for all the positions Of
trust within the gift Of the several
State officers, as there are in any other
party None Of the members Of the
old parties helped you to the offices
you now hold, gentlemen, and why
any old line politicians should be kept
in fat positions under the new admin
istration Of this State will call forth
several explanations. We don't much
believe that any old-timers will be left
in, but if they should be, explanations
will be odious. The best policy to
adopt with a common enemy is ITO
the Victor Belongs the Spoils." II
you caress the hand that smites you
we'll will you deserve the censure Of
friends and workers in the cause of
reconstruction, reconciliation and

Church conferences are usually busy between
