How Uncle Sam Is Cheated out of His
Land.


The Washington correspondent Of the
New Orleans Commercial Bulletin gives the
following illustration of the manner in
which government lands are disposed OF:
"Let me give you one instance how land
frauds can be and are practiced. Congress
gave quarter section l60 acres) to each
soldier or volunteer who actually served in
the war of 1912, the proof of service being
his name on the pay roll of the army or the
volunteer corps actually in service. A bill
was subsequently introduced and passed,
authorizing verbal testimony of SERVICE us
it was assured that there ere Il few, Il very
few, hard cases, where parties had served,
bNt whose names could not be found on the
rolls. Eight thousand men, regulars and
volunteers, were at the battle of Plattsburgh,
when Sir George Provost and the British
army were repulsed in September, 1914, all
the real survivors of which, whose names
were on the rolls, of ccnrSe, received them
l60 acres each, but under the law author
izing oral testimony. the Land Office ha
actually issued twenty-seven thousand land
warrants to the Survivors, every man and
mothers son OF whom has proved in the
most satisfactory manner that he was at
this battle Twenty seven thousand surviY-
ors of eight thousand men after an inter
val of more than forty years The fact has
been stated To me personally by the present
Secretary of the Interior.
"The proofs in all these cases were SO
complete and regular that there was no set

| gate, they were monstrous.lie, yet they
/ could not he rejected individually.

Judge MeLean.s Letter of Is4s.

At the famous freesoil convention held at
Buffalo i'll 1s4s, Judge Mclean was spoken
of by some as a candidate of the party. In
order that there might be a perfect agree

far at least as be. was concerned, Judge Me-

delegates, taking occasion at the same time
