A TlMrJVXr INQUIRY.
Thu inquiry instituted by the Uii
tad Siaten tonnto at the instance o
Senator Vnn Wyck , concerning th
oxtention of the Sioux City it Pocifi
railroad through the Fort Niobrar
reservation , without authority of law
is timely ,
An important principle ia involve
in the forcible entry into a militar ;
reservation by this railroad , vrithou
securing the right of way from coi
gross , It implies the existence of
pairer greater than the governmcn
itielf , It involves also the rights o
settlers on the publio domain , wh
certainly ought to have priorliy
claim upon the national government
There is a history connected with th
Niobrora reservation which cimiot b
overlooked by the authorities whor
dealing with this qusslion.
About eighteen months rga a nnm
bor of citizens from Dodge county , In
this state , decided , after rxplorlrg th
northwestern portion of Nebraska , t <
establish a colony and lonnto n now
town , They applied to the local land
ofllaa at North I'latto and to the general
oral l nd tlTica at Wcftlringlan fo
mspi of tlto publio lands. Wlththcao
as their guido they fixed upon the
neighborhood whore the Niobrnra and
Minnioidusn livers form a junction ,
in what was then unorganized totri
lory and became Sioux county.
They selected landu , atakod cfT :
towneito , hauled building material and
arranged for building n town. After
they had done some building iho
military authorities at Fort Niobrara
pronounced them trespassers. They
wore In the limits of the reservation
and therefore must go. Too aoltlera
claimed that under directions from
the land offioo they had located on the
publio domain. The military docUred
they wcro trespassers.
Now , the Fort Niobrara rcncrvatton
u originally laid out covered cloven
lections , but just before these cottiers
had laid out their town the comman
lor of the post had asked for an ex
tension of the reserve lindcr the plea
that ho desired to provide wood
ind hay for the garrison. In
reality , as wo are informed , that
vaa merely n pretext to aid him in a
lohemo with cattle speculators. The
OEcrvation na originally laid out In- .
iluded the best of timber nnd hay
and found in the neighborhood , The
rar department without making spec-
nl irq-u'ry , granted the request , and
hirty.three sections -era added to the
iriqiti.il eleven , nuking an enormous
uaorvation of forty-four acotious of
ho public lands , r.a a banei of auppliof
0 contribute to the pretended vranta
1 n fort , whro n fort never was and
ievor will bo needed. It in also re-
nrkablo that this act of the war ( do-
lartmcnt , and order of the president ,
ussed from Washington to the
om rounder of the post , but
lover became publio. At least
ho o'rdor proclaiming the
xtensiou was never advertised. For-
IGed by this nccro' order , the military
ipellod the settlers from their town
ito. . These sottlora had orootod a
mlldiug in which they phccd souio
lorsonal property. They deputed ono
if their number to proceed to Wash-
ngtoit for lodrcca. After considerable
Id by ho secured an opinion from the
ccrotury cf war ( hit thu reservation
iculd bo reduced without projudioa to
ho service , co as lo give the aottlcre
ha lands upon which thpy had
ocatcd * .
Ai thlo juncture another factor ap *
ieurud on the oceno. The Sioux City
b Pacific railroad company applied
or pcnnlsiion to pssu through the
escrvatiou un its \uy to the Black
ilills. By a strange coincidence , a
iliquo made up of post traders
ind certain oougrossmon alto
ixod upon the epot which
ho suttlors had soleoted us a
own eito , ai a desirable location for a
uppiy depot. The outcome was a
ival town in the ndjoinicgscotlonnud
tutbido of the rceorvo. A bill was in-
rudoccd last winter in the souato
'educing the reservation and giving
ho railroad n right of way , Including
[ rounds for depot , etc , while at the
MUU time cccurlng the cottlura by '
living Ilium priority of ohim , Ancthor
) ! 11 was introduced iathohousogiving
ho viilroad the right of way , but
noring the ritjhU of the Bcttlors.
The whole mutter ilimlly wont to a
lommittoo of oanforouco betucau the
wo housi's. The senators offered to
ivo the railroad all ( tasked providing
ho Bottlers \rero protected. Th
nomber * of the house refused to
nako nny concessions that would In-
rolvo a recognition of Iho right of thu
tillers. In other words the commit-
to of conference agreed to disagree
vhen corgrozs adjourned in Auguit.
rhia loft thu railroad without the
ight of way through the roeorvatlon ,
[ > ; spite this ftcttho rulroail wa ex-
ended not only through the enlargu <
nnnt , but alao through the original
caeivatiou.
Nt only htvo they conitraotcd the
oiJ way through this forbidden
iround , but thry huvo bridged the
\'i'jbrira aud oitablislud a town and-
milt a depot adjoining the town clto'
hhlch the eottlcra from Djdgo county
iad laid out. Nobody would doiiro
o impede the progress or. n railroad
broujh any eicliaii of this state ,
rhon they hayo the riaht of way , but
ho law tihould bo no reopsctor of porous
ous or of corporations. Mirk tbo
lifftrtmce of Ircatmont by tha mili
tary of the men who located the
toiru zito first and their con
duct toward the railroad when it
wanted to cross to thsir rcaorro. It
would team at if corporations wcro a
higher power than the govcrnmen
Itself , and the laws of the country ar
nil suspended fir thair accommorla
tlcn , It is this defiance cf legal re
straints cud the reakleas disregard o
their own regulations by the military
which Senator Van Wyck's inquiry
aims to reach. Whatever action Oon
gress may take in the premises , th
country lies a tight to oak and cxpoo
that It will nuaert the dignity of th
government and its authority ore
corporations as wull DA individuals , and
will do juttiso by its frontier coition
at allhnords.

Gould's Opinion
Special Dbpotch to Tnc UEK.
NEW YORK , December 15 Jay
Gould appeared before the committee
on "gain corners" this morning. He
ouid the Dysttm of making co'rners
docj not injure thu trnrspjrtoiti in-
tercais , r.a it makes largo mirkote. Oa
the whole ho thinka it helps them ,
Generally speaking comers , dealings
in futures and panics huvo alike good
and bad dlaclo upon commerce in
general. Some of tbo ( ffccls are to
ninko prople rnoro economical and
more enterprising. I do not think it
poisiblo to prevent corners , etc. , by
any act of legislation , and do not
think national legislation ia practica
ble , although some restriction might be
put upon theco speculations , ray a
limit to tha prices of things. If the
board of trade were to adopt constitu
tions which would provide thnt the
settling price should not exceed 10
per cnnt. of the selling price , thoio
wide fluctuations iu comma could not
exist. I would iu uvory other par
ticular makn Now York M free as
wind. Mr. Gsuld was followed by L
E. Hastnuu , exporter of bef , who
testified that corners were detrimental
to the publio welfare.
