THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: The Oamp Sheridan Settlers. A corrospondent from Beaver Oreck, in Sheridan county, writos us as follows 1 would beg to esll your attention to a sub- ject whiah seems to be persistontly ignored by the county papers of Sheridan and Dawes counties, viz: the controversy over the aban- doned Fort Shorldan reservation, in town- Homestoad, pre-cmp- entries have been ler the authority of tion and timber cultu made in this township the Valentine land office which are now sought to be set aside by the genoral Iand office on the gronnd that they were errone: ously allowed. Messrs, Moreis & Tucker, the former register and receiver at Valentine, gave the public understand that the Fort Sher vation was opened for settlement, and it somarked on their maps. None knew any thing to the contrary until a land effice notice appeared in the Clhiadron Democrat, Juno 10, 159, which was & oopy of & jetter from Com- missioner Sparks to Samu Glover, the receiver at Valentine. Wo have since been offeially notitied that our claims are illeral, and are heid for cancellation, dated August 11, 1856, When the notice apy 1, on June 10, 1356, 1 wrote to the honorable sceretary of the interior asking for further information. I recelved a most unsatisfactory answer from Commissioner Sparks, merely stating that my filing was erroncously allowed, and would bo held for eancellation, also enclosing blank forms, one for relinguishmet of claim and one for the return of filing fees. There not, however, one worit concerning comy Lalso got up a paetition, enator Van Wyck, and duly sent likewise directed to & it in before congress adjonrned. 1 wrote to Congressman Dorsey on the subject, but nothing scems to have beon done, Like 10t of the settlers on this reservation 1 an a man of no great means and am the unhappy of a preemption claim with iy entire capital sunk im the same upon which Iam now residing. Naturally [ feel nervous on the subject, It looks as if the general land oflice was unwilling to a knowledge the legality of the acts of their gents. I would feel greatly relieved to learn the views of the Bk on tho subject.” The situation as presented by our cof spondent is a havd one. The or of course resulted from the wrelessness of the register at entime in permitting entries to be made contrar to the statute. In 1835 wlaw was providing that when military reserva- tions w abandoned they should bo turned over to the interior department, suryeyed, appraisod and sold. The law also contained a clause protecting ull entries made before January 1, 1884, Last winter General Van Wycek disco cred that thero was nothing in the statute preventing the purchase of a whole rc ervation by one mdividual or u syndicate. He accordingly introduced a bill repeal- ing the act of 1834 and providing that abandoned military reservations should be subject to homestead entry only. This wus referred to the committee on public lands, of which Sen- ator Van Wyck is a mem- ber. Attor deliberation the committee concluded to repeal the vy of 1881 and to mauke abandoned reservations subject to homestead entry only, limiting the entries to 160 acres and fixing the price to be paid at the appraised value. The bill remains 10 committee and will not be reached before the winter session, when 1t will no doubt become a law. In 1881 and since nearly sixty persons have made entries on the Fort Sheridan res jon 1n Sheridan county and their entries were accepted and duly filed by the land oflicers at Valentine. Land Commissioner Sparks, however, holds that, as the lands were entered an- uary 1, 1884, the entries must be can 1 Such uction on the part of the general land office would compel every settler to sacrifice yaluablo improvements made on the strength of the aceeptance of his entry by the local land official Under these circumstances the settlers appealed to Senator Van Wyek to mterfere for their protection. He did so promptly and received assurance that tho settlers should not be injured. The formal notices of Mr. Sparks seemed to have made them nervous about the result and hence the letter from our correspondent, Immediately upon its receipt we lnid it before Senator Van Wyck, who promptly telegraphed as follows to Washington: Commissioner Land Office, Washington, D.C. Many settlers on the Camp Sheridan res- ervation will be ruined if driven off. Can't you suspend action until congress meets?

He feels sure that a bill can be ed at the next session of cong to legalize all the cn- tries erroneously made, and that the claimants need not have & moment's un- easiness. They will be secured in their lands, We would like to suggest to the papers of Northwestern Nebraska who v been hounding Sevator Van that they ought in all to be fair enough to admit the value of his services to a section where he had little or nothing to gain politieally by his hard work in their behalf, Time and again when in trouble they have appealed to the senator and never in vain, He was ¢ securing the extension of time to purchasers of Otoe and Omaba Indiun lands, whereby their homes weresayed. He worked hard and faithfully in seeuring the two new land oftices at Chadron and Sidney. He assisted materially in sccuring appropria- tions for Forts Niobrara and Robinson. And yot the political hacks and railroad bosses are now ealling upon the people to retire a senator who has been 8o useful ta them, one who has experience and influ- ence, and to replace him by & man who will be unfaminar with the wants of the state and with the manner of presenting them in quarters where relief can be ob- tained. Low: o Wyck justice he Battle in Maine. Muine votes to-day, and politi est throughout the country will be con- centrated upon the result. The oratorical work of the campunign was brought to a conclusion at Gardiner on Saturday eye- ning, when Mr. Blaine mude ono of his el cteristie addresses, The republi- an cause has certuinly been advoeated and dofended in Maine with signal zeal and euergy, and as the result will be of very great importance to several leaders, notably to Mr. Blaine, it canvot be doubted that the machinery is in perfect condition for getting out a full vote of Wl inter- the party. In that ease republican suc- cess is more than probable. The ecam- paign on the part of the democrats has not been especially active, The party is without an efiective organization and has | had a vory linfitea camp#ign fund. The few rich mon in the party who nsually sapply most of the “sinews of war'' have not gone very deeply into their pockots in the present contest. Besides, there is 8 good deal of dissatisfaction n the ranks, due to some of Mr. Cleveland’s appointments, and 1t is said that the pos session of the offices has brought much wenknoss as strength to democrats of Maine policy as the ts e ;n{l)v:-nrl\n»nh(!.\linn regarding the of tices has displeased many of the party | workets, and as there has been very littie the This labor little money to mduce them causo they have to ve for done | apathy is oxpocted (o make itself appar ent in to-day’s vote, and the more con spictous it is o better the spoils element will suited, The prohibition eam paign has been fought with vigor, and it is expected that the party will poll an in creased vote, somoe of the more sangnine having placed it at from cight to ten thousand.

The republican ma- jority two years ago was in round figures 14,000. It is not likely that it will be large this yoar, but it scems a safe pre- diction t it will not be overcome. The election is s'gnificant for the effect it will have in determining several important matters, the nature of which was pointed out in these columns some days ago. ———— Cutter and Sloon, Those who after the first victory of the Mayflower over the Galatea proclammed that the trophy still ours, basing the claim on the evident superiority of the sloop which assurad her final triumph, may now congratulate themselves upon the aceuracy ot their judgment.
