- All who know and admire Hon. Ed
gar Cowan, of Greensburg, will learn
with sincere regret that be is afflicted
with a cancerous growth ia his mouth,
and that eminent surgeons in New

nounced it out of their power to do any
thing for him. Mr. Cowan is one of
the most distinguished lawyers in the
State, and when be was a member of the

rank among the ablest men In that

Mr. Cleveland on Friday lt that '
of Jatod Muf!r, t-f Ohio, to I Cooaal j
Central at Frankfort on-lre Main. Ger- ,

citiien of Oteland, waa either born In j
Germany or U of German de.eti. at.d
w at or.e time elacted Lieutenant Got- I
erccr of bki S'ate cn tL Republican

ported U IVmocratic party. We will
i.ever fotjet Mofir. Every ona will
remember wbal Intense Interest waa j
luantfeat.1 all ovr the country during
Un September, in the reau.t of tbe Ohio
election for Mate office on the second
'jmu.iow.
The Republicans
i confidently claimed that they wotiM car
ry th State, mbile the Dt-mocrats by
contesting every inch of ground, were
not w'.tbout hope. All agreed that the
result in the Mate depended upon how
he Germans In Cincinnati, CleTeland
a raw other localities would vote.
W he the excitement was at its highest
this sam Jacob Mueller was interview
ed in regard to th outcome, and gave
his opinion very freely relation to all
the counties in the State containing a
large German population. Ii appear
ed to have made a careful study or the
matter in hand and fortified his exclu
sions with such cogent reasons thatthev
amounted in our judgment almost to a
mathematical demonstration.- We be
lieved in him and why should we noi ?
He is a German a man of intelligence,
and lived in Cleveland, capital of the
Cuyahoga county, which whs ia the habit
o? giving as large, if not a larger Repub
lican majority than Hamilton county,
which embraces Cincinuatl. His home
was among Germans he associated with
them knew all the leading Germans in
Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and other
large Ohio towns, and his settled belief,
bawd on corresponaence as well as from
having been through . great portion of
the State, -vas that the Germans would
put the Democatic State ticket through
without the shadow of a dobt and
thus make Cleveland's election sut.
So strong was our faith in Mueller's
views that we would have put up a I
small turn of money on their accuracy.
"We cut what Mueller said out of the
paper and waited patiently, but confi
dently for the returns. We got them,
but Oh I what a fall there was in his
predicted figures for Hamilton and Cu
yahoga counties, embracing Cincinnati
and Cleveland, and the actual result.
He was only about twelv thousand
wrong in his estimate of the two coun
ties. In this way we became slightly
acquainted with Mueller's knowledge,
or rather the want of It, about the Ger
man vote in Ohio last October. Gov.
Hoadly was nearly as far RPtray in his
calculations about the same vote, as
Mueller was, tut Hoadly isnt a German
and therefore we didn't put as much,
faith in him as we did in Mueller. We
have no hard feelings towards Mueller,
but wish him well in bis new position
at Frankfort-on-the-Main. When he
comes back he may, perhaps,, at f-orae
future time again dispose of the Ger
man voie in unio. on prr. nut our

Fraud and wsVe In the admin'fftra i
tion of public affair have nowhere been
more conspicuous and gross than in the
land eyr.em. S vat hare bn the sfw
lintforiS of the pnbitc dmain. and so
bold the evasions or pen defiance of
the homestead and pieemption laws.
that some at leaat of thesw wrongs mnst
obviously have been effected through
the connivance or the active complicity
of Government officials. It was not
enough that during the thirty years
from 1CV to lSO grants of lo4.0G7.553
acres of the public domain were made
i for railr.nd puroos-s. but in addition
j many millions of acres hve been stolen
i by powerful corporations through viola
i tion of tb? statutes. Commissioner
i Sparks's predecessor pointed out that
lands worth from $25 to flOO per acre
have been sold for lees than $3. Some
years ago a great tract was preempted
as desert land, whereupon the owner of
the adjoining ground seut to the Interi
or Department an ironical comment on
the supposed unproductiveness of tbe
tract so preemoted in the shape of a
sweet potato weighing seventeen pounds
grown on his own soil of precisely the
same character. Timber lands, too,
have ben grasped by foreign companies
ia deflance of the laws, and have then
been rapidly Ptripped of their trees, to
the, detriment of the surrounding re
gion. Tve prospective result of the
manv and vsjous land frauds and land
ifrabbings whs 4,8 set forth by Com
missioner McFnrliwjd :
"The time is near at nrf when there will
b no puhlie lands to inr settlement or
afford citizns of the country h, opportuni
ty to secure cheap homes. Meanwhile vast
stretches of uncultivated lands ar every
where ohseivable, title to which ha been
acquired by evasions of law. The numerous
nieihods of disposal now existing and the
laxity of precautionary provisions aaalnst
misappropriation are resulting in a waste of
the public domain, without the compensa
tion attendant upon small ownerships for
actual settlement."
It is beyond question that millions of
acres have beeu illegallj fenced by cat
tle companies, while fraudulent entries
have been constantly increasing. We
find in Commissioner McFarland's last
annual report a list of 460 fraudulent
entries in Dakota that had been investi
gated during the previous 12 months,
in. Colorado, 139 in California, 827
!n ww Mexico, 311 in Minnesota, 109
in "Nh'ngton Territory, 170 in Ne
braska in Kansas, and so on with
other Stasg an(1 Territories. A land
agent in .N S Mexico computes that 90
per cent, of th ettries there are fraud
ulent, and an antHv J)kota assigns a
likcharacter to 0ree.oovof every four
entries there. The 5e.nera;-Tand Of
fifce investigates such fraudulent jtries
as ate complained of by Sbitlers or own
ers -who have access to tbe required In
formation. , '
Such are some of the existing, fao's
under wbich Commissioner Sparks lakes
charge of the Lnd Office. Abpareirtly
for many yeirs there must haVe" ben
both inadequacy in the laws and ineffi-
dency in their execution to produce such
result. In sonw instances it
appears j
nnquesliooable that registers and receiv
ers have been corrupt. Commissioner
Sparks has given Indications of a pur
pose, to investigate fraud? by suspending
routine action on certain classes ot land
entrYes until inquiries into their charac
ter can be made. If true administrative
reform should ever begin anywhere with
turning the rascals out, it is where Gov
ernment agents must apparently have
aided in the commission of wrongs eith-

WASHI.T0X LETTER.
From oar refalar Correfpondot.
Washington, April 20, 1833.
President Cleveland, has bad much hand
shaking as asual, to do this waek, and unless
some one shall soon invent and patent an
automatic presidential handshaker there will
be need of a deputy or assistant President
to perform this duty alone. Negro delega
tions bave predominated at the White House
this week. The bishops and pastors of tha
A mean Methodist Conference called upon
tbe President, and their foreman made an
Introductory address that was nearly ai
long as a sermon. The same day Mr. Cleve
land and bis Cabinet reviewed the emanci
pation procession of colored people, which
pissed before them as they stood on tha
front portico of the Presidential mansion.
In the departments the work goes bravely
on, and to those who know the past condi
tion of the departments, this Is saying a good
deal. A remarkable change baa come over
them. Tbev are all doing real work, and
surprising everybody and especially them
selves. For several years past it has been
very unusual to find a department or a bu
reau of a department here in Washington
Ith the current work up to date. It is not
uncommon to find offices months behind,
and some of them even longer than months.
Whenever anything of this kind has happen
ed little success has attended efforts to even
up the business. Sometimes, It Is true, this
bas been occasioned by much extia work
Imposed upon a force cot quite sufficient in
numbers, but generally It has been due to in
efficient and lazy clerks, whose Interest in
pay-roll overshadowed comnletelr their
"'"''"' H the work of the Government.
