tionul order repudiating acts of the
general land Office in the Chicago lake
front case and which probably will be
followed Immediately by the peremp-
tory dismissal Of Silas w. Lamoreaux
of Wisconsin, commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, was signed by Secre-
tary of the Interior Bliss. The order
directs that all proceedings in the case
subsequent to the filing of the applica-
ton to locate Mckee scrip ON the lake
front, be rescinded and annulled and it
orders a new trial before the new com.
missioner, not yet appointed. within 80
days aftor notice to all parties.
Action is based ON the purported
opinion of Mr.. Lamoreaux given out by
him to one Of the parties in interest,
three days before the time appointed
by himself for the formal
ment Of the decision, and the notice to
the other interested parties.
An Omcial statement.
The department made the following
official statement on the Chicago lake
front matter
On the 22d day Of February, Score.
tary Francis directed that judgment in
h case be suspended until the further
order OF his department. This order
has been published. The secretary was
therefore informed that no decision
had been rendered none was found in
the proper Office of the land depart.
ment none appears in the letter press
book, where all decisions are required
to be copied prior to PRONUNCIATION. In
response to a telegram from the assist
ant attorney general, asking Commits.
sioner Lamoreaux if he had given out
an opinion in the Chicago lake front
case ;>if so, when and to whom, Mr..
Lamoreaux replied:
On the 2Oth l signed opinion and had
number of copies made the same day To
be given to the press on the 23d. which
date l announced the decision would be
promulgated. One of the copies of the
Goth l gave to a party with permission for
him to use it after the decision was pro-
mulgated, but in no case to be used until
PRONUNCIATION. This was done on the Goth.
On the 22d Secretary Francis suspended
PRONUNCIATION.

laid down the moral law in no mud

editors dare not tell the truth. If you
did you could not live, you paper would
be a failure" The edit or replied: "You
are right, and the minister who will at
