ground of colonization. This would
be very we'll if the settlers were al
loved to purchase as they applied to
do at $l25 and would not have to
pay the one hundred thousand dol
lars profit to the Archbishop.
For these reasons | rendered the
decision in the Ireland case with re-
luctance and | do not claim any
credit or honor due me for being sus-
tanned in decision, which | was so
to saY--hand bound compelled to
make according to previous rulings
and presidents established by the
superior tribunal, the Secretary of the
of the Interior.
AS the ex-receiver seems to think
that the local land office is entitled to
credit for the rendition of this deci-
sion and as he wants to claims it, l am
perfectly satisfied that he take all the
glory for himself and expressly dis
claim any credit and am sorry that
my position of an inferior officer de-
Gliding the case was.such that could
rot award'sthe land to : the settlers.
Take therefore, all the glory and
credit youssee in it, Mr.. Elk Receiver
and take Ireland in the bargain if YOU
wish, for | don't want anything of
either.
In conclusion wish to give to the
ex-receiver, if he is as he claims to be,
friend of the archbishop, fair warn
ing to drop this subject in the interest
of his friend ireland. | know
good deal more about this land deal
than the ex-receiver and Ireland think

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Congress Will Surely Be Summoned After
March 4 If the Army Bill Fails.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
has conveyed assurances to some of the
party leaders in congress, in addition to
those given last week, that he will GER
tainly call congress together in extra
session if it fails to pass the army reor-
ganization bill at the present session. In
answer to repeated inquiries the admin
istration has been obliged to decline all
the propositions looking to the tiding
over of the needs of the army by pass.
ing a joint resolution simply extending
the appropriations on the basis of the
present organization, holding that this
device would be utterly inadequate to
meet the absolute necessities of the
case. The
Status OF the Volunteers
would, it is said, be extremely unsatis-
factory and there would be absolutely
no assurance that the president could
retain them in the service even when
the emergency is great The same
statement would apply to the regular
army soldiers who enlisted for the war.
A very serious objection to the joint
resolution programme, too, according to
the war department officials, would be
it's failure to supply the staff and line
officers absolutely needed. These Off
Gals say that the pending Hull bill pro-
vides for just 822 original appointments
of second ieutenants, and it is declared
to be the policy of the administration ia
divide these places among the states
and territories on the basis of the popu-
laiion.

innocent purchasers should be pro-
tected, and Congress passed the act
in question. John Ireland made a
contract of purchase of certain lands,
aggregating, as it now appears, over
$4,000 acres. These lands were
largely intended for colonists, and a
considerable portion were sold to
them. A number Of other citizens al
SO purchased like lands from the
same company st. P. M. & M, r. r.
The settlers who bought from John
Ireland, at low prices and on liberal
terms, were given contracts whereby
he bound himself to give title to same
when payments were completed.
Later the department held the lands
to be forfeited. At once this became
public, there was much excitement in
the region where the lands are locat-
ed and elsewhere, and persons began
to settle upon the lands, and make
application to enter them. Persons
who had contracts with John Ireland
at 81 to Sc per acre, also joined in the
rush, in some cases fearing their con-
tract would not protect them, and in
others because they thought to get
the land at I'll .25 per acre. Had there
been no forfeiture, no one would have
dreamed of questioning John Ire
lands right to the lands,
For the purpose of carrying out his
contracts with the settlers andsothers
to whom he had given agreements,
John Ireland made application to
purchase under the aforesaid act,
and the department, following estab-
lished precedent, has held in his
favor. Those who purchased lands
from him will now be protected. As
the lands are worth two or three
times what they agreed to pay for
them, they have no reasonable ground
Of complaint Many who Jumped"
the unsold lands, and failed to secure
them, of course. feel aggrieyed. But,
they are in the same position they
would have been if the grant had not
been forfeited, and John Ireland
purchase had not been attacked.
1t is to be regretted that the ex-
Register should have injected religion
into his communication, and that he
should have spoken of ''the opinion of
the Catholic clergy and laity," which
is certainly an unwarranted assertion.
Who gives him the right to speak for
CLERGY and laity:" What has this to
do with the merits Of the case, any
way?
AS exhibiting the ex-Register's
method of reasoning; the "logic" of
his position; his peculiar style of |
composition, and the malignant man
ner in which he refers to- prelate
who is honored of all Americans, we
append the following example:
'Take therefore, all the glory and |
credit you see in it, Mr. xReceiver,

interest of his friend Ireland. |
