thrco congresses to delay reports on contests
ns long as posslblo , and some ot them were

of the congress This was done for the
double purpose of allowing tlmo to allav

to draw their salaries The mnn who ro-
eclvos < a cortlfloato ot election Is sworn and
takes his scat at the convening of a congress
and ha draws his salary of $5,000 a year till
the contestant is declared entitled lo the
seat and takes the oath The contestant
then : ! draws the salary from March 4 , when
the term begun , so that there is n double
salary paid as long as the con
testant occupies the seat , it has fro
qucntly occurred during tbo past
ten ' or fifteen years that members
whoso } ] seats were contested nnd who were
flnnlly ousted were permitted to occupy their

It is the purpose of this house to not permit
anything of that kind and the prospects are

NEHIUSKA TITLES IN JEOlARDr
The sale of the Otoe ana Missouri rcsorra-
tion in southern Nebraska Is again brought
Into prominenca by several contest cases
which are now making their way through }
the Interior department , and whoso determi
nation will offeet the validity of the titles of
many of the prosperous farmers of southern
Gage ounty who have purchased land on
thut reservation Under the two acts of
congress permitting the sale of the reserva
tion , it was provided that the land should bo
dlsposod of to actual settlers , or to these who
would perfect settlomoat within ninety days
from the aato of the opening No pros '
peotlvo sottlcr was permitted to go In upon
the lands until ho was ready to make
settlement and pay for tliem at the
general land office Mho object and purpose
of this act was to prevent corporations or
wealthy individuals from securing largo
blocKs of land When the bill wus Ilrst under
discussion there seemed to bo a determined
effort on the part of some Inturosts to proi
vent Us passage with a requirement that
only actual settlers should bo allowed to ba- '
como purchasers , and that no more than
sixty acres should in any instance be sold to
any individual The passage of the act with
these rigid provisions secured tbo object
which it wus sought to subserve The res- |
orvatlon Is now almost ns well settled as any
equal area of land in southern
Nebraska , and is dotted over with prosperous i -
forms , fields and . ,
porous generous corn broad
pastures But now that the land has become
valuable some adventurers have been feeling
nround aud uro attempting through minor
technicalities as to the character of tbo set
tlomeuts to make tbo rulings of the general ,
land ofllco upon laws entirely different in
their nature applicable to the cases by Insti- Ii
tutmg contests ugalnst actual settlers to in-
validate and overturn titles on the resorva-
tion , The lands themselves were sold , not '
under the preemption act , but uudor n
special law requiring cash payments aud set t.
tlement at the outset , in this particular dif
fering materially from laws which called for
settlement as part purchase consideration ot
the lands themselves , and specifically required -
quired a certain amount of improvements
and a specified character of dwelling to ful-
1111 tbo requirements of these laws ,
Two or three cases have already boon sent
up to the general land oftioo by contestants
for farms on tbo Otoe and Missouri rusarva-
tions Those cases were in each lustanco do-
cided against thb contestant at the local land
office , but these decisions weio reversed by >
the late administration of tbo general land
ofllco on purely technical points , Senator
Paddock during the past week has bcon In
teresting himself in the matter with u view
to securing Justice when the appeals from tha
land oftioo are taken up by the secretary of
the interior , After a thorough examination
hof the papers ha wont yesterday to the as-
sUtunt attorney general for the Interior do
purtment and presontcd the cases in person
to him The senator argued that it was not
the intention of congress contem
plated by either the spirit o-
tbo loiter of tbo law that tech :
cicnl rulings under tha general land laws
should upply fully to these settlements He
insisted that it wus tbo intention of the law
into soil the land tn such a manner as to pro
vent speculation and Induce cultivation and
snot to force upon such settlers strained up-
phcatlous of rulings under the homestead or
pro-emptlon act The scoretary of tha In
terior indicated his agreement with tha sen
ator upon n number ot the points made nnd
seemed Inclined to take his view ot the sub
Joct
Senator Paddock has arranged to be heara
[ a detail upon tbo cases when they are taken
up by the secretary of the interior The
tracts tn controversy are amona the very
best improved farms in toutbiru Nebraska ,
The senator believes thnt It Is not thejiolloy
Zni the lutid ofllco to permit such assaults
ngunst titles covorlnit hundreds of fnrms
nnd thus unsettling the same years nftor
they had passed into the hands of hnrdwork-

MISCELLANEOUS
Washington sociotv is considerably dis-
tu bed over tbo fear that the death nf Mrs
Harrison's sister , Mrs Scott Lord , will disturb -
turb the social programme partially mapped 1
out for the white house during the wlntor
It Is too early after the sad death for Mrs ,
Harrison to consider , even for a moment ,
what she intends to do socially , and however
the outcumo muy be she will not enter so-
cloty for some weeks Mrs Scott Lord was 1
almost a part of the executive household
She entered the whlto house with Mrs Hur-
rlson and was with her almost constantly / •
from March 4 till she bociimo so HI in the au-
turnn that it was doomed advlsablo for ber to
go north The death of Mrs Scott Lord 1
cannot therefore bo regarded as that of an
outside ruoinber or branch of the executive

gram toTuE Bee ] There will bo several
contests for seats in the house when the legIslature -
Islaturo 1 meets These will be tno first con
tests for several years The seat of the
democratic member from Johnson couuty
will bo contested , and the democrats will
,
bring contests aguinst the republican mom1
bers-olcct from Monona county and Winno-
bago I county The Johnson county member
Is I charged with ineligibility on the ground
that bis father , who was a foreigner , was
not iiropcrlynaturalized , and that the sons
citizenship is impaired for tbo ' same ' reason ,
A charge of similar import , though dlfferont
lu ( detail , Is Drought against the republican
member from Wlnnobago It is alleged that
his ' fathers naturalization was dofe tlvo and
therefore I that the son Is not cliglulo His
fcieuds I , however , state positively that the
democrats [ have put their foot in it , so far as
ho is concerned , and will have their trouble
and expense for nothing The Monona
county . members olcction is contested on
tbo ground of certain irregularities In the
election , which , it is claimed , should throw
out several votes , enough to elect his oppoi
nont As the momoer-elect bus only ono
majority to ire on , any losses will prove
fatal , unless they are ollsot bv correspond
lng losses for his opponent It scorns to bo
the gcnoral opinion that the democratic
charge aguinst the Winnobago county member -
bor was brought simply In retaliation for
the coutost against the Johnson ciunty mom
ber And tbo probability is that each
contest will bo dismissed without
much traublo The bringing of the
contests will not make nny difference m the
organization ot the house According to the i
Iowa cudo and practice , tbo member who Iiqb 1
a certificate ot election will take bis seat at '
tbo beginning and tukc part in the organiza
tion , and hold his seat until the bouso shall i
decide against him , nftor the committee on
elections shall have considered tbo case Tbo 1
law proceeds on the presumption that tha
man who holds the certificate of election Is
legally untitled to the place , and so gives him i
all the privileges nf membership wbilo the i
contest is proceeding So that it will make i
no difference with the organization of the 1
house how many members seats are con
tested There will bo at the outset fifty republicans \
publicans and fifty opposition members in ,
thu house , though ns the members have reported -
ported themselves , tbora will bo forty-ilvo >
doinocrats , four indopcudonts aud one union >
