rejects the Relinquishment.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable opinion of the
attorney general as to the validity of the act,
Gov ClOugh gave effect to the intention of the
legislature aud attached his signature to the
bill, which became law on April Is, 1895. And,
in compliance with the provision of the act d.
recting him to execute deed of REIMBURSEMENT
to the United States of the Hastings Il Dakota
lands on May g. 1895 he did execute such a
deed Of REIMBURSEMENT and forwarded the same to
the secretary of the interior, but the secretary
Of the interior appeared to agree with Attorney
General Chids and absolutely declined to accept
the REIMBURSEMENT of these lands from this state
holding the state to be simply trustee as be-
tween the United States and the grantee In thus
rejecting the intended REIMBURSEMENT. Secretary
Hoke Smith a gentleman of the same political
persuasion Gen. Pope, says after reviewing the
question:
The question nov to be considered is whether
the State of Minnesota defeat the grant made
by congress to aid in the construction Of the
Hastings & Dakota railroad by an act Of its legis
lature intending to act forfeiture, and by
the REIMBURSEMENT of these lands by the governor
of the state TO the United States Clearly, on
principle and authority. think not. These lands
were certified to the state in trust for the com
many. the state accepted them as trustee Of an
express trust it is not denied that the lands We're
earned By the company: this department and the
courts have decided the company to be entitled
to the lands earned before the forfeiture Of its
charter and that the trustee Of the company
is authorized and is the proper person to receive
them The aforesaid REIMBURSEMENT of the State
Of Minnesota is rejected. Very respectfully.

some of Gen. Pope,s Blunders.

Under these conditions and within the law
having no other course to pursue. Gov. Clongh at
tached his signature to Hastings Il Dakota Kali
way Company Deed No. 9. But Deed No. H.
with the certified list thereof, still repoSes peace
fully in the vault of the state auditor, and until
the state legislature directs otherwise state audi
tor Dunn will not certify it and Gov. Cough VIII
not execute the deed there0f.
Now as to Gen. Pope'S circular. 1t Will be
fre4-the foregoing that in ii he misqulteS the
title of the bill, Senate File 375. In it he makes
no mention of the List No. having been certi-
fled by the Democratic state auditor, A. BiermaEn
Nov. B. 1894, nor of the duty of the governor
following snch certificate. In it he declares that
the governor by executing Deed No. destroyed
all the en5ticial effects of the foregoing bill.
when if Mr.. Pope had made the slightest investi
CATION he could have learned that Deed No
embraced hut $500 acres Of land. and that under
its grant the company YET claims 10, l3S acres
And Mr.. Pope goes on TO say that by executing
this deed Gov. GlOugh ''nullifad the will of the
pe0p3a OF the state, and instt9d the legisla ture
by returning to them bill which he knew had
been made empty of all results when. as mat
ter of fact, Gov. Clough and State Auditor Dunn
gave immediate effect to the express will OF the
legislature the by declining to certify and
the other by refusing to execute Deed No. 10.
There is another chapter in this Hastings "
Dakota forfeiture matter whith Secretary POPE
does not dwell upon and that is the subsequent
history OF the forfeiture act. Gov Clough. before
attaching his signature to the act. submitted the
bill as is customary with all bills, to the at
torney general for his opinion on the measure.
On April II. 1895, Attorney General Childs re
fdered the following opinion:
Morris tribune., 1896-10-07
Holds the Bin Invalid.

State of Minnesota. Attorney Generals Office,
st. Paul, April II, 1S95.-His F&Heellency. d. NJ.
Clough, Governor Sir: Herewith return Senate
File M. 375. The measure is. in my judgment.
invalid as seeking in effect to deprive one Of mis-
property without due process OF law. 1t is needless
to recte the facts well understood those per-
tanning TO the Organizaton and dissolution Of the
Hastings < Dakota Railway company and its
grant OF public lamls. Conceding that it was
organized for the purpose Of acquiring the con-
OCCASIONAL grant. which / disposed to believe
is the fact: that il operated any of the
lines of road constructed by it, and that it sold
and disposed of the soon constructed
it dsesnot by any means follow that the State may
now lawfully exercise the power assumed by the
proposed measure. With those concessions made,
it is not deniable that congress made grant of
lands TO the state for the construction of rail-
ways across the territory of the state; that in
the granting act the terms and conditions were
prescribed whereby the lands might he acquired;
that the state became merely instrumentality
for conveying the lands to the roads earning the
same; that the said company constructed a road
presumably in compliance with law because
certified to by the respective governors of that
state; that the company had under the Jaw of
this state three years in Which to dispose OF its
property subsequent to its dissolution, in which
time it assumed TO convey all of its rights in and
to the said grant to Russell Sage. as trustee,
for the use and benefit of its stockholders that
this conveyance has been declared by the courts
valid transfer of those rights to the said
trustee; and Furthermore it may be noted that
it distinctly held by the supreme court of this
state that the lands of the said company were not
affected by the judgment of dissolution. but that
they were in truth and fact subject to disposal
during the statutory period of three wears.
Whatever may be said of the improvidence Of
congress in best0wing the grant, it is not within
the power of the legislature to provide corrective
measures of the character indicated by the pro-
posed measure. Whatever lands, if any, now ex-
ist available for completing the quota enuring to
the defInct company belong in equity to the
eestu que trustent of Russell Sage. The bill
seeks to divest them Of property rights thus ac-
auired. and in my judgment is therefore invalid.
Whether, in view of the importance of the ques-
ton involved and the large number of the legis-
ature who evidently share the opposite view,
you deem it proper TO approve the measure and
leave conflicting interests to adjudicate their
rights in court Will of course, be determined by
yourself. ! am, very respectfully

Attorney general.
