A question has arisen as to whether payments shall be made from the appro- priation for the sinking of the test well at the salt basin after the end of the first fiscal quarter of the year, and the auditor has decided to draw no more warrants. The board of public lands and buildings has submitted the question to the attor- ney general, who files an_opinion with thom that the work ought to be paid unul May 81. The attorney general's opinion i3 of interest to a great many and contains much hstory. The follow- ng is the gist of it: o the Honorable Board of Public Lands and Buildings: In answer to your Inquiry ‘whether or not the appropriation made by the legislature of 1885 for the sum of $5),000 for the development of the saline interests of Ghie state, or rather the unexpended balance on hand is still available, I will beg leave to sy that under the provisions of our con tution it is provided that each legislature shall make appropriations for the expenses of the government until the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the next regular session, and all appropria- tions shall end with such quarter. The act above referred to provides for selling so much of our sallne lands as will ralse the sum of $50,000, the amount appro- priated. Under the provisions lands were Rold to the amount. of $20,000 and & contract entered into In writing for boring a well to the depth of 2,000 feet on what is known as the big salt basin and for which the board agreed to pay the sum of $10,000. The con- tractor entered upon his work and on March 81, 1887, had bored to the depth of 1,500 feet. Now the question presented is can the con- tractor continue boring after the Slst of Marcn, 1857, and still receive his pay from the uaexpended balance? ‘These lands were donated to the state by the United States under the enabling act. Section 11 of said act provides that all salt springs within thestate not exceeding twelve 10 number with six sections of land adjoin- ing, or, as contiguous as may be to each, shall Do grantea to said state for its use, the lands to be selected by the governor thereof, within one year after the admission of the state, and when so selected te be used or disposed of on such terms, conditions and regulations as the legislature shall direct. When we view the enabling act, we find all sections numbered 18 and 36 within our state has been granted to the state for the support of common schools. Twenty sections of lands hav granted {0 the state to erect buildings at the capitol for legislative and judielal purposes 10 sich maner a5 the legislature. way” pre- seribe, Beventy-two other sections for the use and sunport of a state university. Fifty sections also for a peniter “Thiese lands are ol trusts erea specifie purposes for which they were granted, and it can be just as truly smd that the lands wranted ~ with ~ the salt springs were to be used in the development of the springs as it is that the otber lands were to be used for the specitic objeets for which they were granted, and the aet of 1588 is the first time that the legisla- ture of our state has directed these saline lands to be used in developing the Salt Springs, and under said act it was never contemplated that the advertising and sell- ing the lands, the contracting for the well, building of - dykes, ditel reservolrs and agued and the completion of said :fio shoyl performed within the space THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: v April 19, 1954, and our cohstitition contain= first above cited was adopted would seam to me that the trust created has rested In abeyance notil legislature of 154 directed the same to be carried into effect, preseribing the condi- tions and rezulations for carrying the same into operation, and would seem to be an order for the board to continue until the work has been accomplished. The question has never been passed on by our conrts, and us the constitutional pro- vision regulating appropriations ought not to be slighted by construction, | would think it far better to submit to the inconveniences that may arise than that a safeguard of the constitution so valuable to the people of our state Ihullld in the least particular be im- paired. ; 1t is well known that our saline lands have been frittered away for purposes other t for which they were granted, and remarks are made more to call the attention of the state authorities to the true object for which the saline lands were granted to the state than to strike at a whole- some provision of our constitution, and it would be well as soon as may be to have the question presented to our suprems ecourt to have the status of our saline lands legally de- termined. ‘Lhe constitution providing for all appro- priations ending at the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the next regular session. ‘The tiscal year commences on the 1st day of Decomber of cach vear and ends on the 30th day of November of each year. T'he legislature of 1855 made an approptla- tion of $50,000 for the years IS%5 and 1X6 under the provisions of sce. 19, art. 3 ot the constitution, and under that sau ction the same is extended until the expiration of the fiscal quarter after the legislature adjourned. This would in my opinion extend the appro- [\rlnflon nntil May 31, giving the language he most limited construction. ‘I'he legisla- ture adjourned March 31, 1887, The tirst tiscal quarter of the year would end February 25, 1887, This would be the tirst expiration of a fiscal quarter after the adjournment. The lancuage would indicate the runnning of a whole tiseal quarter of a year. and as the leg- islature was in s1on a part of the second fiscal quarter a fair construction of section 19 would extend the appropriation until the expiration of the first full fiscal rter after the adjournment which would expire August 31, 1857, but it is better to be on the safe side, and I should think that the tirst construction would be sustained by our court, and as the appropriation is made to meet the expenses of our government, and if the development of our salt wells should be considered sueh an_expense, then I am of the opinion that any expense incu before May 31, 1837, would be chargenble against the $30,000'appro- vrinted. or the unexpended balance thereot. M. LEESE, Attorney NED, -4 DRUGGIST ) Nelson, the druggist arraigned for sell- ing liquor on Sunday, had his trial yes- terday in police court and the evidence showed that he had been selling liquors Sunday, keeving an impc and poor record of the same. The e imposed a fine of $30 and cost mf time was given the defendant to pay the amount or appeal. The other eases against drug- gists were not ealled and it was rumored that some doubts were entertained whether or no the charges against them couid be sustained. MINOR NOTES. Yosterday Speaker Harlan was in the ity on business—his first visit to the city since the cluse of the session. Brad Slaughter was also in the city looking after the work of completing the house journal ready for publication. The news of the death of Judge Weaver creatoed great surprise in Lincoln, as hardly a soul knew of hisillness. Only a woek ago he was in Lincoln arranging to become a citizen here and his health seemed as good as usual. “‘Major'’ John C. Watson, of the gov- ernor's staff, was at Lincoln yesterday from Nebraska City on a business trip. Pt ik Worth Knowing.

There a car load of passengers going from Keokuk to Des Moines. Among them were Judge Clagett and Judge Jobnstone and Rev. 1. P. Peter and Rev. Burgees. Clagett called Rev. I. I, Peter “Beelzebub, jr.,”’ and, by so:ne strange mental ana chronism, dubbed Rev. Bur- gees as “St. Paul, jr.”’ However, Brother Dean was the cenjer of attraction. His brilliant conversational powers shown out on that trip with unwonted radiance. He was telling a story of a loving brothor of the strictest sect of the orthodox faith as laid down by John Calvin, Dean did not believe in Calvin any more than he dia in Martin Luther with his imposing nonsense about the ‘*‘divine right of kings.”’ 1 wish the scene could be repro- duced on paper as it occurred on the train, There was Dean with his singu- larly emphatic voice, with his rotundity of presence, with his wonderfully mag netic and twinkling, gray eyes; th were learned and famous ‘men willing listeners. He said: *“This dear Calvin- istic brother came to meone day in gr mental distress, He said he had heen reading the daily papers, and found a dreadful record of crime; here a murder, there an arson, here incest, aduitery, theft, betrayal of trust anticide, in- itude of children, baseness of every txml from son to father, from man to the beasts of burden he used, defaulters, and the world seemed given away to wick- 1id, '1 thought of hell edness. ‘Then he and I felt refreshe “That is,” said Dean, ‘‘theso fellows will be caught some day,while I escape.” That is what the good Calvinistic brothe thought. He looked out over the'wilde: ness of wickedness in world. He saw no cure for it in t| ife, 80 *‘he thought of hell and he felt refreshed.”” The expression is epigrammatic. It is certainly original with Henry Clay Dean. —~—— Police Court Points.
