I am beginning to think the democ

should eay , n kind of bucking , kicking
democratic mule , which not only bucks
out occasionally will kick tbo cart into
smithereens. I gather the following
"rom a Rontloinan who took paitin the
conversation , h'o being ono of several
democrats who vlaitcd Cleveland together
not IOIIR after his election. All of them
concurred in the suggestion that In

which are politically debatcable ground ,
They thought thfs conrjo would best
plcaso the people , and bring the most
strength to hlaadmin'stration. ' Cleveland
replied to them in a very dogmatic man
ner , saying ho did not consider the quos
ion ot locality at all ; that if ho should
find the men who suited him bett for the
cabinet all living in the same state ho
would appoint them , and added , it was
nero than probable ho would take two

lie party good. Another republican
cnator said there had been too much

ucd by the nomination of the presi

Tlio Dea IMolnos llivcr Lands.
Dubuue Times ,
The origliul grant of tbo DesMoinea
river lands was inado in 1810 , when Iowa
was yet a territory , to the DOB Moines
River Navigation company. This acl
granted to this company the odd noctlonn
of lands , five miles in width , en each tide
of tha DBS Molnoi river , for the purpoio
of improving that river frcm the Raccooi
forka to its inoath. The grant failed to
limit In terms the dlatanoa along the
river nhlch was covered _ by the enact
ment. Out of that omission haa grown
all the troublo.
The controversy haa really been bo
twccn the state of Ion n In behalf of the
River Navigation company , and congress
The then territory of Iowa ,
through ita representatives , claim
ed that the grant of 1840
covered the odd ueoticna five miles on
each aide of i ho river to Ita source , in
the then territory of Minnesota. The
officers of the government at first ad
mitted the justness of that cltim , and
opened the lands for assignment of the
northern boundaries of the territory of
lova , but not beyond. The landa on
the Dei Moinea river above the Raccoon
fork constitute , therefore , the debatable
ground. Afterward the officers of the
latlonal government clntigod tho'r opin-
ou and decided tbat Iowa was not en-
Uled to the hnds above ho Raccoon
forks under the grant of 1810. In 1800
; ho snpramo court decided that the grant
of 1810 did not inclmlo the lauds above
the forks. In 1801 a joint resolution
paoacd both houses of congress that all
; ho lands in this prant certified to the
state above the lliccoon forka
should vest In the alato of Iowa and
its granteosi the Dos Moins River Navl-
atlon company , But encouraged by the
Jocislon ot the sapromo court sattlors
took possession of the land ucder Hit
pre-cmplion law , The dispute between
thcso settlers and the Navigation com
pany began with the attempt of the lat
ter to ssll the land occupied or pre
empted by the former to other parties.
In 1802 congress ptsscd ft law which con
firmed the title of the Navigation com
pany.
In 1850 congress granted to the s'nto '
In aid of a railroad from Dubuque to
3ionx City alternate sections to laud on
both sides of the rea-t clear across the
stato. The question then arose whether
the land along the DCS Molnoa river at
Iho point where the railroad crcsscd be
longed to the real or the Navigation
company. The supreme court hold that
where the grant to the railroad over
lapped the lauds already granted to the
Navigation company the tttlo still vested
In the latter , and bccuuo tbo
lacda had been reserved by _ com
petent authority ; thcrofoio , they did not
pass to the railroad company. This was
only ono pbaso of the controversy and
litigation over the Das Moinea river
lands. A full Imtoiywould fill a page
of this paper.
The great bulk of the entries of these
disputed lands wcro made by settlers In
the yours 1802 , ' 03 , 'Ct and ' 05. And as
th's ' was long nftor the whole quoatlon
of the title of thcso lands had been net
tied by reiolution and act of congrofa
after the conveyance had boon nndo by
the state of Iowa to the Dea Moinea
River Navigation company , and that com
pany had tgorio into posaeeaton of thcso
lands , and after tbo pnrchnso of thesa
lands had been made in good faith by
innocent person ? residing in the states of
Now Yor'.r , Now Hampshire , Michigan
and Maisacbuajttr , perhaps tholoait said
about the settlers bolog bona fide occn
pautj , the hotter.
Hofjovor that mny be , tbo bill just
passed , in rll'oct throws the disputed
lands back Into the public domain , nnd
to confirms the Bottlers in their tltlta
under the homestead and pre-emption
laws.

niofit important impression made upon
my mind in the intense cxsitemont of
the charge at Donohon was a fecliotr of
personal degrcdatlon on poeinp our flag
spread out on the ground. It was no
longer a combination ot stripes and stars
in silken text in o , but the vital personifi
cation of human liberty battling for its
own llfo and its downfall , though but
temporary , seemed the triumph of wrong ,
njusttce and oppression.
The "zip" of the rifle balls bavo a
peculiar stinging eound , and the shriek
of bnrettvg shells causa one to dodge In-
st'nctive y , but I think that each tolc'ia-
is impressed with the belief that ho
will not bo ttrnck , the domirant des'ra '
of his mind bolng to insh forward and
carry the place by assault. It IB a re
markable fid that in nearly every in
stance when a man is tttuck bo im-
puleivoly exclaims , "Oh Lord ! " "Oh , my
3od"orin ! some similar language att-
Jresnes his Maker , especially if the wound
Is inottil. A feeling of intenao hatred
of the enemy pojecisaa him as tha charge
is undo aud he sees hii comrades falling
about him , and ho is cirriod away with a
wild desire to kill and slay in turn. Fern
n moment tboso opposing him are not
liumau beingp , but devils and demons
whom It is his duty to slaughtt r without
mercy. _ _
'tlio While House
President Cleveland bai completed the
Pew picpartlons which ho atoms necessary
fcr the foo'al side of his forthcoming roe-
denco in Washington. Bis sister. Mrs.
LI. E. Cleveland , will bo the mistress of
; he Whitn house. She did not join the
loaoohold in the governor's mansion in
Albany , bet has been with fcitn a great
deal since ho retired to the Townor reel-
denca on hla resignation of the governor
ship. It was with reluctance that she
consented to go to Washington to take
charge of the preiidcntial domicile. She
las been an oarnott and industrious
woman , and never contemplated a life of
usury , much less cue of cDiispicona po
sition before the cjuntry. She In as
unique In lur ways , es her brother is In
ns , though they are apparently not at all
alike In general character. Nor dcioi she
jhyaically rcstniblo him. She is of med
ium stature and build , with a abapcly and
iiighly intellectual faco. She is gocd
ooking , but not pretty. She dresses
neatly but plainly , aud wearo few orna-
Eunte. She has for , a long time been a
lecturer by profession , her epeclalty being
educational subjects and her audience
usually tha pu'pii R of the gills' schools.
She bai , for instance , just lectured at the
ElmiiM Bcmiuary on .Join of Arc. She
spoils toviril lacgusgoa , is exceptionally
well informed In history and the arts ,
and has that degree of confidence in her
self end the knowledge oho posgces to be
able to firmly take the lead in conversa
tion and to hold itognlnst tbo bright men
and women who bavo come in contact
with her. Yet in eomo roepcctj she is
notably shy and ah/ays BO modest and
imlablo as to win friends easily and
quickly.
'Why , she's a perfect dictionary , " raid
ox-Governor Ccrnol when ho returned
from a vltit to Mfsj Cleveland the other
day ; "sbo'i one of the brightest womnn I
ever mot. "
