In the s.ttlers' Interesr

A suit IN equity was brought against
the Michigan Land " Iron company and
the Marquette Houghton and Ontouagon
Railroad company by the United States
We ineSday Of last week in the federal
c )urt for the western district of Michi-
gan. The case Involves all the land
formerly selected by the last named
company within What Is known as the
Ontonagon and Brule River Land
Grant" and by 1t conveyed TO the first
named company about the year 1881.
1t has been contended for years tn;
the title to these lands passed from the
government by the grant OF 1856, aud
that it did not return TO 1t until con-
gress reclaimed it by the forfeiture act
OF March, 1889, and because OF the fact
that the title was not in the United
States at the time the railroad company
made its selections OF these lands in
1878, the company acquired no right to
them and that the whole proceeding was
void
Following close on the heels OF the
forfeiture act came the applications
the homesteaders 10 enter the various
tracts iD this territory that were %
valCe. After these homestead applicg-
tons mad been made and rejected by the
went on the land and have continued
their occupation ever since. 1t appears
that there has been some very destruc-
tive forest fires sweeping over the coun
try ia that vicinity and the result is that
the pine timber has been injured thereby
so that IL Is necessary 10 cut II AT ouce
ia order 10 save H. and It also appears
thai these tracts received fully as bad Il
scorching as ol her lands. The govern
meut therefore requests the court in It's
bill OF complaint 10 sell this timber 10 the
highest and best bidder and bring the
money into court, etc, so that all the
claimants to the land may have an op-
portunity to come and prove title IL they
can. That all this is done In the interest
OF the settlers there is no doubt and they
are 10 be congratulated that at last the
governments is moving to protect them
1t can be regarded in no other light than
as victory for the settlers and they
should feel grateful to those who have
aided them in securing this opportune
action on the part OF the United States
In their behalf.
When the bill was presented to the
court an order was granted to show
cause why the timber should not be sold
as prayed for, this order is returuable

Pens ion Frauds,

Very recently application was made
to President Cleveland for a pardon in
the cases of several men who had been
guilty of procuring pensions under
| false pretensea. There we're two OF
them. In THE case Of one, by name
Marcellno, Grover sat down on the
criminal as follows:
This convict was guilty, apparently,
OF nearly all the crimes and frauds de-
nounced by our pension laws. He
seems in every way possible to
have cheated and swindled ignorant
pensioners and imposed on the gov
eminent. The punishment melted out
to him was well deserved, and | can
not yield to the unthinking and ire
sponsible appeal for his pardon"
In the case bf man who PERSONA
ted dead soldier he wrote:
"This convict personated dead SOL
di r, and thr Dugh that means pro-
cured a pensio n and robbed the gov
eminent. lie was justly dealt with by
the court. a nd should suffer all the
punishment a waided to him"
The third case was that OF man
who was found guilty of over>charging
pensioners for his services in substan-
tiating their claims. II this case the
President wrote:
Denied. am unwilling to pardon
those who, in violation of our pension
laws, overchArge applicants for the
services they +endar in substantiating
their claims"
1t would be i'm possible to imagine
cases in which men were more deserv-
ing of severe punishment than in these
The whole country will
aud the Pre- sident for his refusal to
pardon such scoundrels.
