SETTLERS HOMES SAVED.
Important Railroad Land Decision in
Idaho.
Especial to The Heraldo

Boise, Ida, Nov 12.-Some time ago
a suit was brought by the Northern
Pacific railroad to eject about 80
settlers in Northern Idaho who had
settled upon lands which the railroad
claimed under the grant from the
government. This land embraces sew
eral hundred thousand acres and is
situated in the Occur d'Alene land dis
trict in Kootenai county. When the
grant was made to the road it included
every alternate section for 40 miles
back from the line of the road, exclud-
ing Indian reservations. When the
Indians ceded a large portion of their
reservation to the government, the
road claimed this under the grant and
the case was brought before United
States Judge Beatty, who decided that
the land belonged to the government
and that the settlers we're entitled to
possession. The attorneys for the road
appealed to the circuit court. which
has Just dismissed the appeal. This
action saves the homes of hundreds of
Idaho settlers, as no further appeal
Will be taken.

READY FOR CONGRESS.
Session Begins With Standing Com
mittees Appointed

Washington, Nov. PIT is the inten-
ton of Chairman Cannon of the appro-
priations committee of the house to
begin the preparation of the appro-
priation bills at the earliest date. He
has announced the names on the sub
committees on pension, legislative and
judicial bills, who have been called
to meet on Nov. 27, week in
advance of the assembling of
congress. AS the house is fully
organized by the appointment of
all standing committees, it will be
expected to get down to business as
soon as it re-assembles at the regular
session on Monday, Dec. 3. Ordinarily
it requires a month to organize the
house, and the month of December, at
the regular session, sees practically
nothing in the way of legislation ac-
complished; but the organization of
the house at the special session this
year will save veluable time, and it is
almost certain that at least one Of the
regular appropriation bills, and prob
ably two, will have been passed be-
fore the Christmas recess is taken.
SHORT. SESSION PREDICTED.
Most of the members who have ar
rived express the opinion that the
coming session will be the shortest
regular long session of congress in six
years. Ordinarily the long session lasts
from six to ten months.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois, one of the
prominent Republican leaders, pre-
diets that congress will have com
pleted its work and adjourned before
May l.

of progress combats greed and avarice,

the age"
The order, he said, was today
stronger in membership, stronger in
character and stronger in the hearts
OF the people than it was a year ago
He recommended that this session
conf1ne its deliberations largely to the
work Of organization.
The work of wholesale reform in the
labor field, he contended. is retarded
through coercion and corruption of the
poor by the holders of Idle capital
who dominate the press and debauch
the politics of the country, While the
courts apply the arrogant lash of
despotism in the form of injunctions
against the freedom of speech and
peaceable assemblage of the poor
The st. Louis conference" he said
was united labor protest against
the mos nagrant outrages ever COM
mitted against civil liberty in this
country. It was the voX populi of an
outraged nation laundering against
| the pomp and arrogance of returning
despotism, and since that time free
speech has not been suppressed by
court iniunctions."
Mr.. Sovereign then took as his theme
the great miners strike, in which he
said the Knights had a large member
ship directly involved. He said in part:
THAT great struggle was a test be-
tween under-paid, half starved labor
and arrogant, greedy coal barons. 1t
was a strike born of hunger and neces-
sity and appealed to all the higher
impulses of humanity. On the side of
the strikers stood the charity and
philantrophy of the world, beckoning
onward the slaves of the mines. On
the other hand the shotgun policy of
the corporations and the despicable
court injunctions. The armed thugs
were more tolerable than the restrain
ing orders of the courts.
ANARCHY ON THE BENCH.
THE injunctions sought to give the
color of official sanction and the color
of judicial dignity to the vilest express
sions of anarchy ever uttered in this
country; but anarchy in judicial robes
is no more respectable than anarchy in
rags A judge who will suppress
peaceable public assemblage is no less
traitor to his country than was Bene-
diet Arnold, and the citizen who will
resist such an injunction is no less a
patriot than were the signers Of the
declaration of independence, or the
heroes of Valley Forge, and if it ever
comes to a contest between constitu-
tional liberty and court injunctions,
would prefer to wrap myself in the
