Declaring that the present claim
OF Texas would put the Rio Grande
ION rock bluffs or sand hills. far
above m possible bed of the river"
the brief called attention Of the court
to what was described as the pred
atory and INSCRIPTIONS character of
the defendant cTexas) in the land mat
ters."
That a community may have n
character. as a whole. apart from the
individuals composing 1t. ought 20 be
conceded" the brief declared. Re
garding Texas. then. as a community
with a psychology. character or soul
of its own. let us briefly examine its
record as a would-be land grabber.
one OF it's earliest demonstrations
was in December, 1885, as noted by
this court in No. 162 United States.
the Republic OF Texas at that time
adopting a resolution declaring onc of
its boundaries to be from the mouth
of the Rio Grandc to its ourcc This
calm was without n shadow OF foun-
dalton. Yet the cffontry Of Texas In
making this preposterous claim was
rewarded by the payment of $40 .0oo.-
600 from the United States by tho act
of September 80. 1850. which estab-
iished the territory OF New Mexico.
Next attention should be called to the
Greer county controversy to settle
which the United States was com
PEELED TO institute suit against Texas
In this court . and as a final re-
suit Texas was deprived Of land 1t
had unjustly claimed amounting to
more than a million and a half acres.
THE claims OF Texas to land in the
vicinity of Ell Paso ave involved our
government in a prolonged diplomatic
controversy with Mexico as to h
merits of which ! am unable to speak.
but I have been told by oiG for whose
Judgment I have great respect, that
Mexico has rather the best of the con-
tention."
