Congressman Should Pledge Themselves
ON the Backbone Land Grant.

LII thinking over Cne BACKBONE
Land Grant we have arrived at
the following conclusions:
First-All cases that the gov
eminent has filed against the
railway company have remained
on the docket for twenty years
on account of the United States
District Attorney for the Western
District of Louisiana not having
the cases called for action. Just
what their reasons are for letting
these cases hang up in the musty
files at Shreveport is a matter we
have not been able to unravel,
but it goes without saying that
there were and are reasons for
this delay. From the fact that
the gentlemen that have filled
this position have not given their
side of the controversy, and from
the further fact that this delay
has worked in the interest of the
railway. company, we are forced
to suppose that there has been
some understanding betwee en-
the governments representative
and those representing the rail-
way company, and that these
cases have been permitted to
drag by mutual consent of both
parties.
Let's see just how this has
worked.
We understand that the Dis
trict Attorney is a member of a
firm of attorneys that have the
Texas & Pacific Ry. Co. as clients.
No doubt the former United
States District Attorneys had
clients that were interested in
these lands, having claims under
the railway company patent. and
it was not deemed wise to do
anything to injure either side,
especially as the said District At
torneys were representing both
parties. Consequently the mat
ter has been permitted to rest in
those musty files while the sup
posed Court of Justice was grind
ing away, and going through the
motion of dealing out justice to
the rich and poor alike. And
this case has been sleeping, sleep
ing, peacefully sleeping, in the
musty files at Shreveport.
Second-We have been wonder
ing why Congress has not taken
a hand in this matter in all these
years, and caused an investiga-
ton to be made, and why they
have not employed special coun-
sci to prosecute these cases to a
decision. By examining the rec
ords we find that some of our
Congressman and Senators are
members of law firms that repre-
sent the railway company, yet
still have as clients claimants un-
der the railway company's patent.
Thus, while they are supposed to
represent the people, they are in
reality under obligations to the
railway company not to take up
cases that will injure the latter.
BY saying nothing and doing
nothing they can fulfill their OBJ
legation to the railway company,
and at the same time no one can
say that they have done anything
to injure the interest of the peo-
pie. Here is where the rub comes
in. Is it what they have not
done that is keeping poor people
from obtaining titles to their
homes, and is enabling the large
corporations to make compromis-
es with thepoor settler, whereby
they give him a very small per
cent of that which justly belongs
to him, and take the lions share
for themselves. By this means
the poor settler is robbed, while

FOUGHT IN THE TREES.
Curious Duel Between a Pair of Fire
Eating Frenehmen.


In the swashbuckling days Of the
early part OF the nineteenth century
the dueling hero In France was the
Marquis Merle de SaiDte- Marie, whose
affairs OF honor were almost incessant.
One OF these is said 20 have been 50
ridiculous that it helped TO set In mo-
tion the current of feeling that has
since made duellng so much less hon
trable than 1t once was.
It appears that one day there called
upon the marquis one PierrOt dIssac,
himself a famous duelist Now, in
French pierrot means sparrow and
merle means blackbird.
DIssac struck himself on the chest
with emphatic dignity. Marquis"
said he, 81 am a Bonapartist and you
are a royalist. Moreover am the
sparrow and you are the blackbird-
It seems to me that there is one bird
Of us too many"
81 quite agree with you, monsieur"
politely replied the marquis, land my
choice is pistols, and, az Is appropriate
for birds OF our species. let us fight in
the trees"
Pierrot d'Issac was agreeable to this
unique suggestion, and as If 1t were
not n sufficiently ridiculous thing that
one man should challenge another be-
cause his name was Sparrow and the
othef Blackbird the duel was actually
fought from trees. The seconds stood
on the ground below.
At a given signal the pistols were
fired, and there was n rustling among
the leaves OF one of the chestnut trees
Pierrot d'Issac came tumbling 10 the
ground like "A ripe chestnut" as one
Of Sainte-Marie' seconds expressed It,,
whereupon Merle de Sainte-Marie In
a facetiOus mood began TO chirp tri-
umphantly in imitation Of the song Of
the blackbrd. D'Issac waited till he
had recovered from his wound and
then challenged Sainte- Marie for the
chirp.
This time there was nothing anus
ing about the encounter. lt was
fought with swords, and Sainte-Marie
was badly wounded. The sparrow had
avenged himself on the blackbird.-
