J'hc Herd Law.
Every few days the writer hereof
receives communications from diff
erent parts of the State in reference
to tho amendment introduced by
him at the late session of the legis
lature, and to save trouble in reply
ing to each separately, will say :
The supreme court last fall, in a case
brought up from Dodge county,
rendered a decision, entering into
the miuutne of our laws touching
this subject, and deciding that an
action in the uature of trespass for
damages could not be maintained
for pasturing on uninclosed, uncul
tivated, wild prairie land.
The very substance of the decision
is contained in this paragraph:
"From these considerations I come
to the conclusion that the principle
of the common law of England,
which has treated every entry upon
another's land "even by cattle, un
less by the owner's leave, as an
injury and wrong, for satisfaction of
which an action of trespass will lie,"
is not applicable to uncultivated,
unenclosed lands of this state."
This being the declared law the
amendment to the herd act sought
to extend the definition of cultivated
lands to include all lands "enclosed
by a strip uot less than one rod in
width, plowed once a year."
The amendment as introduced by
the writer was to include within the
definition of cultivated lands "all
lauds enclosed by a plowed strip
not less thau one rod in width, kept
in a plowed condition, free from
grass and weeds," but this was
changed in the senate to the plowing
once a year, and thus the bill was
passed.
After two mouths of delay the
senate decided to go into executive
session last week and consider the
president's nominations ; probably
the Chinese treaty will be disposed
of. It may be after all that the de
lay of the senate will result in some
good to the country by beiug the
moans of developing the true char
acter and feeling of democratic and
southern senators iu regard to the
principle involved in the Mahone
fight, which means, in plain English,
a free and fair vote and an honest
count, in not only Virginia, but all
the southern states.
The committeo appointed to ar
range a program for the monetary
conference has agreed upon the one
drafted by Vrolik, the German del
egate. It consists of five questions
relative to the cause and eflect of
diminution and oscillation in the
value of silver; tho effect of unlim
ited coinage of both gold and silver
upon their stability ; measures to re
duce the minimium of occillations
in the ratio of value between the
two metals; aud finally, as to what
that ratio Bhould be.
Recent dcvelopements point with
great certainty to a new motive
power that in time will do away
with steam. We mean the applica
tion of electricity when the plans
are perfected to apply it to electric
machines. It has been successfully
applied on several railroads in Eur
ope and found to be a success. It
is claimed for this power that it will
run trains a thousand miles away
from its engine as readily as if only
a few feet away by means of wires.
A very important decision was
rendered last week by the Supreme
Court at Washington in the case of
J. T. Webber vs. the State of Vir
ginia. Webber was a sewing ma
chine agent for a New Jersey firm,
.and selling in Virginia without the
usual license imposed .on sellers of
articles manufactured outside the
state. He was fined $50, the tax
being $25. The court decided that
no state had a right to impose a tax
on outside manufactures.
A message was received from the
President on the 5th inst. which
contained the withdrawal of the
nomination of Woodford and Tenny
as U. S. district attorneys in New
York state, McDonald as U. S. mar
shal for New York, and Tyler as
collector at Buffalo. Some politi
cians believe that this action on the
part of the President meaus that if
any New York nominations are to
go over none of the above will be
confirmed.
The Supreme Court of this State
has affirmed the judgment against
ex-Sheriff Koppelkom, of Fromont,
in the suit brought by Lemuel Huff
man, for injuries received two years
ago by beiug shot by the sheriff,
under the impression that he was an
escaping prisoner from the jail. The
judgment obtained before the dis
trict court was for $3,000, which,
with interest and costs, now amounts
to $3,400.
Dead-lock Picked.
On motion of "Senator Dawes on
the 4th inst. a vote was taken to go
into executive session which was
carried by a vote of 53 ayes, noes
none. And on the 5th, by the same
vote, held an executive session. An
hour and a half was consumed in
referring the nominations and in
confirming several important ones ;
tho senate theu took up the Chinese
treaty.
Omaha this spring is taking an
unusual forward movement in the
way of improvements. Private res
idences and a big hotel are in the
line of their spring progress, as well
as many transactions in real estate.
The Republican' says "one day's
transactions are fully equal to a
week four years ago, and on this
basis six times as much property is
now changing hands as there was
then."
