THE WORD "BROUGHT,"
win Play an Important Part in n Suit for n
Million Dollars Worth OF Property.

win Play an Important Part in a Suit for n
Million Dollars Worth OF Property.
San Francisco. March 9.-The own
ershlp OF million dollars worth Of land
i'm California depends upon the legal
construction OF a word.
And very simple word it is-the
little familiar word brought"
But q legal battle came on in the
United States Circuit Court before
Judge Morrow over the meaning of that
word as it is used in an act OF Congress
approved March 3, 1891.
The act provides that no suit shall be
brought by the United States TO vacate
or annul any patent to public lands is
sued before the date mentioned within
five years from the passage of the act
This period of limitation, as the law
years style it, expired on the third Of
March last.
Consequently it appears that all pat
ents 10 public lands issued before March
%, 1891, become absolute and irrevoc-
able on March 3, 1896, unless previous
~ attacked by suit brought as the law
requires.
The case in which the point has been
raised is that of the United States
against the American Lumber Com
pany. Of Chicago. and the Central
Trust Company. of New York. Ii is a
suit IN which the government seeks to
have cancelled upon the ground Of
fraud and conspiracy more than one
hundred and sixty different patents TO
railroad timber lands in California. sit
uated I'm humboldt and Mencino coun-
ties. The American Lumber Company
holds the patents 20 these lands, which
embrace no less than $4,000 acres, and
their value has been estimated ar in
the naighborhood of o million dollars
The Central Trust Company issued
mortgage bonds on the security oil the
lands 10 the amount of 100000.
The bin Of complaint was filed in the
Circuit Court here on the third day u
February. 1896 That was Just a month
before the statutory period OF imlta-
ton expired. after which the govern
meut could not institute suit.
The question TO be decided was the
srit brought when the bill was fled
The matter was argued before Judge
Morrow Yesterday and submitted upon
briefs. Ii is said to be the first case
Involving the question Of when a suit
is brought" i'm connection with United
states land patents and the limitation
of five years thereon. The decision VIII
thus AFFORD an important precedent Tor
both courts and lawyers.

Quite an Accident to Special Opera Com
pany Train in Arizona.
Phoenix, Ariz. March "A special
train, bearing French opera troop of
$50 people, bound for Fan Francisco,
was wrecked about midnight near Casa
Grande. The train consisted of three
PUllmans, two tourist sleepers and three
baggage cars. The accident was caused
by a bolt breaking in front of the ten
der, allowing the fixtures Of the truck
to drop down and spread the rails. The
following car remained upright but the
wheels were buried in the ground,
cutting entirely through the ties. The
second baggage car was thrown on its
side and of the track. The third bag
gage car was also thrown off the track,
but remained upright. Under the
second baggage car a boy about fifteen
years old was found dead with one Of
his hands protrUding from under the
wreck. There were about ten tramps
on the train and several were badly
injured. One of the opera troupe was
injured but slightly. A track was built
around the wreck

RIGHTS AND DUTIES
OF WEALTH.

CA " A<%At1 | At'
 That property has responsibilities to organized society, as well as rights to be protected by it, is fact that seems often to be overlooked by the owners of large wealth, h the long run the rights of property cannot remain secure if the respon- sibility that goes with it's owner ship is ignored.
 Wealth demands protection from thievel y and violence at all times, and no society is civilized that does not afford such protection. But what shall be said of the wealthy corporate interests that insist 10 the letter upon the rights which law confers upon property, even to the orderieg out of troops in their be- half, and then cooly shift a dispro- portionate share of the burden of maintaining the Government from which they clain these rights upon the shoulders of others and probably poorer members of the community
 A great deal is heard in these days about attacks on the rights of property, and it is, indeed, unfor- tunate that the wild and revolu- tionary talk of certain classes of agitators should find as much re- sponse as it does among part of the population. But let wealth remem- Der the duties it owes to society and the dangers that menace it's rights will vanish and the power of the revolutionary agitators will cease. Let wealth pay fair proportion of taxes; let it help rather than hinder the work of securing a revenue sys- tenn that will make it easier to ap- portion the burdens of taxation fair and equitably among the mem bers of the community Let honest wealth array itself on the side of the public and honest government when interruptions wealth is trying to plunder the public. In short, let wealth remember the responsibili- ties which it owes to society, and the rights which it claims win be accorded without question. Chi cago E, cord.

A SHORT time ago tte Republican newspapers called attention to the fact that the large steel works at Belaire, Ohio, had resumed opera tions after having been closed down for six months. aud declared that il demonstrated the wisdom of the Republican party m passing the Dingley bill. The BelIaire 7yib .ne, however, puts a large fly in their ointment by publishing the new schedule of wages showing a redue- tion of 30 per cent as compared with the wages paid when the plant shut down, and also q reduction of the number of employees. This gives q fair idea of how the new tariff law benefits the working classes. Wages are being cut right and left in all industries while the cost of living has been largely increased.-N. o. StfttS.
