MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.


Secretary Smith has rendered a de-
cision on a question submitted to him
as to the true boundaries of the Red
Lake and White Earth reservations.
In all the lines, southern, northwestern
and eastern. he decides that the lines
should be adhered to on the ground
that to disturb them now would be to
overthrow vested rights. which is
against public policy and a long line
of rulings by his predecessors. AS to
the southern boundary, he decides that
the line run by Surveyor Merrill in 1872.
which was afterward confirmed and ac-
cepted by the department in 1885, is the
true line. As to the northwestern
boundary, the secretary sustains the
Adley survey of 1878, that the head of
Thief river is at the confluence of the
east and north branches of that river.
This line has been accepted for more
than 20 years: by it entries have been
made by settlers, swamp and school
lands have been selected by the state,
and to declare this line illegal now
would be to imperil and annul the
vested rights of these patentees and
grantees. In the matter of the east
ern boundary, the survey of 1875 is sus-
tanned

THE TWO TICKETS.

Although formal announcement has
not been made of both, the tickets for
sheriff of Jefferson county have been
chosen. 1t was announced IN the
REGISTER some weeks ago that the
old ticket had been selected, with
Capt. Eugene Baker for high sheriff,
George Porterfeld and Col. VIM. A.
Morgan deputies, and S. c. Young
taller. To these will be added Charles
f. Trail and one other to be selected
later. At conference in Charles
town last Friday by those interested,
new ticket was formed, with Robert
Chew, of Charlestown district, for
high sheriff, and J. n. Trussell, Of
Shepherdstown district, J. VIM. Rider,
of Harper's Ferry district, and A. F.
Davis. of Kabletown district, for dep
uties J. W. Russell, of Charlestown,
is named for Tailor, and another deputy
will be named for Middleway district.
The two tickets may be considered
now to be fairly before the people, and
the voters should carefully consider
which one will best serve their inter-
ests and manage the affairs Of the Of
flee most satisfactorily. So far as we
are acquainted with them, the men
on the two tickets are of the highest
character and entitled to the full con-
fdence of the people. All Of them
we believe, would do their full duty.
We hope to see a fair and amicable
contest. There is no occasion to stir
mp strife and bitterness, and the fight
should be a good-natured one. Let
every Democrat remember his duty to
his party, and make up his mind,
whichever ticket is nominated, to give
it his hearty support after the pri-
maries.
And may the best men win.
