that the devtee of the Federalcircait court
of the Texas district upon the appeal of
Land Commissioner Walsh be reversed and
the ease be remanded with directions to

poses of plaintiff’s appeal. Ths.court holds
that there is no evidence that Mercer per-
formed his part of the contract with the
state. The court did notthink it neces-
sary to consider me argument that this
contract isa grant in present with title to
the land in plaintiff, nor the idea that
there is a trust by which these lands are
held for h's benefit and that this trust is
in some respect strengthened by the legisla-

fore the Proteus court of inqu.
ry and previous to taking the oath asked
whether he appeared to testifyas to
the acts of others or to have his own
conduct as commander inquired . into
The room was cleared while the subject
was considered After a short conference
Commander Wildes was informed that be
was summoned as a witness, and bad the
privilege to refuse to answer any questions
terding to criminate himself.. He was
then sworn and said that upon learning of
the disaster to the Proteus it occurred to
him to land the stores for the Proteus
or Greeley’s party. He refused, however,
to give the court his views on the subject.
The witness said that aside from the wood
sheathing the Yant c was equipped for a
polar voyage the same as she would be
for a trip to the West .Indies.
The failure of the expedition, the witness
thought, was due to the following cause :
Insufficient and scanty means employed in
manning the Proteus with an inefficient
Captain and crew of “bearb combers’ and
“longshoremen ” and 7 neglect by
there . by whose orders the expadi-
tion was fitted out, to
acquaint themselves with the business in

His ship had been cruising in the West

some postmasters have been aiding these
fraudulent agents by “furnishing
them lists of names of ex-union

a contract between the republic of Texas

large number, of immigrant families
and settle them upon the unoccupied
public lands and the republic of Texas
agreed to give Mercer and his associates by
way of compensation for this work, 640 scree

holds in as much ’ as there

enough . settlers into the republic
of Texas to constitute the shadow

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 14 — Attorney
General Brewster is being very generally
laughed at in the departments for his fur-
mination in regard to change of time.
Even if an act of congress named 9 o'clock
as the bour for openining the departments,
it is not clear that the law would not be
complied with by opening the departments
at 9 o’clock by what will be the local time
here next Sunday as well ae by opening
them at 9 o’clock by the present standard.
But there is no law fixing too hours for
opening and closing the departments, and
the attorney general does not pre-
food that there is. He thinks, how-
ever, that the hours regulating elerical’ser
vice were based upon Washington mend
ian time and it would be a violation of law
to adopt the time of any other meridian.
There is an old law in the revised statutes
requiring the departments to be kept open
for the transaction of public business eight
hours a da’ in winter and ten hours in
summer, but no attention la paid to it. A
section of the legislative appropriation bill
of last winter provided that the clerks
should be employed not less than seven
hours a day. This la a is also violated by
the department, for the hours are fixed
from 9 to 4. with has an hour or more for
“nooning.” But obviously seven boon by
the seventy-bith meridian to exactly the
same as seven hours by the meridian of
Washington, so that the attorney-general’s
low Is wholly irrelevant The
hours at which the departments
open and close are determined exclusively
by executive orders, and the law gives the
heads of departments the right to prolong
the hours of work beyond the usual amount
or to shorten them whenever they profit

But a few thoughts oa- (he now great
-question of land monopoly, monster en-
closures, are offered as the primary
object of this communication.
No one is reckless enough to justify
stockmen for fencing in, with
or without their own lands, the lands of the
state, of any company or of any Individual.
It has been boldly and in some cases de-
fiantly done. But, in my presence at least
one member of the legislature and at dif-
ferent times various individuals have as-
sumed that the state has no poser to pre-
vent any mau or company from baying,
holding and fencing land in unlimited
quantity, even millions or tens of millions
of acres. The state as a sovereignty either
has or has not the power. If it has not
then twenty men can be named in the
United States who can combine bay and
fence in all of Texas west of the 100th me-
ridian and north of the Pacific railroad, an
area of about fifty-five thousand square
miles, nearly twice the size of Indiana
They can de It, stock it with cattle, aid
keep out population, excepting their own
servants bold the country as a comparative
wilderness and the land at a mere nominal
taxable value. They can prevent and even
. abolish the organization of counties, and
live as feudal chiefs of the dark ages. If
they can do these thingson the soil of a free
American state then our boasted freedom
and free governments, state and federal are
lies and cheats. And if the assumption of
unlimited right of purchase and fencing to
legally true, then they have the legal right,
if they have the means, to do,so, and we
know they have the means. This is a fair
statement of the effect and fruits of ths as-
sumption, ifcarried out on a grand scale, as
to being now done on a scale which is con
vulsing the state with excitement and in-
augurating a spirit of organized lawless-
ness, reminding as of Ireland and Russia-
mibilism and dynamite— but a mere ani-
maicule compared to the monster, which
its persistent enforcement and enlarge-
ment may generate.
Let us bring the matter home for famil
iar illustration. If the corporate authori.

egated authority from the legislature, lia-
Nexe he recalled or altered at every session,

shall not build s certain private conven-

own 1 o’,-you shall not hang a sign in front
of your store or shop;—you shall not let
your cow or horse graze on the commons
or walk the streets of the town;—you she i

powers can be exercised, as they constantly
are, by a petty municipal corps ration, de-

—Pursuant to a numerously signed call, a
meeting was held in the court-house here
yesterday to take some action restive to

desired by the citizens of Brown county on
the pasture question. Strong resolutions
were adopted against pastures of more than
640 acres of land, and a motion was adop-
led requesting the Dallas HERALD to pub-
lish said resolutions.
The meeting was called to order at 11
o’clock a. m. and a committee ot fourteen
appointed on resolutions. The meeting
reassembled at 1 o'clock, and the court-
house was crowded. The committee re-
ported at 2 o’clock, and daring its absence
the meeting was addressed by a number of
gentlemen, most of them from the country.
After the report of the committee the
principal discussion was over the fifth res-
olation, whica was in these words: “That
all enclosures be limited to 610 acres, ex-
cept farms already fenced, and that
a sufficient passway be left
around such enclosures”’ and over.
An additional resolution reported by a
minority of the committee, as follows:
"Test parties who have fenced only their
owa lands be protected, and that if they be
compelled to take down their fences they
be compensated therefor.”
Mr. C. H. Jenkins moved that the fifth
resolution be amended so as to read, “that
hereafter all enclosures be limited to 610
acres, and that sufficient, passways be
left around such enclosures.” Colonel G.
1. Good win and Mr. Jenkins addressed
the meeting in favor of the amendment
and the minority resolution, and Colonel 8.
P Burns spoke in opposition to the same.
Mr. Jenkins, while strenuously opposing
the fencing of the country in large pas-
terra as being detrimental to the interest of
the masses, and urging the people to de-
mand such legislation as would discourage
and if possible prohibit such pastures in
the future, took the position that those who
had already fenced their own lands under
the sanction of the laws should be protected
in the rights thus acquired, and if the
good of the public demanded the destruc-
ton of their pastures, that they should be
compensated therefor, and that any legis-
lation to the contrary would be unconsti-
tutional and unjust.
Mr. Jenkins’ amendment and the mi-
nority resolution were overwhelmingly
voted down, and the original resolutions
were almost unanimously adopted.

Do not produce sickness at the stomach,

are so mild and agreeable in their action
that a person suffering with sick headache,
sour stomach, or pain in the bowels is
speedily relieved of these distressing symp-
toms. They act directly on the liver the
organ which, when in a healthy condition,
purifies the blood for the whole body.
In all cases of liver complaint or dyspen-
