charges in Mr.. .Schurz's department
against Gent Baker, showing that
as COMMISSIONER Of Pensions he re-
ceived q large bride for passing q
Pension Claim amounting to over
81, 900, knowing 1t to be fraudulent:
that the present Commissioners,
BentIy, know 81. Bakers guilt, had
covered il up, and sought to shield
the criminal; that to do this he had
dismissed 1ubordinates who had
tried. to bring him to Justice (in-
Guiding himsclf) and had replaced
them with Bakers friends and ad-
visersin the matter (Mr. Lanston
among them) and that Baker,is now
Surveyor General Of Minnesota.
Mr. Schurs has urged the large
number Of investigations in bis De-
partmept in explanation Of any
seeming ,relnotsncs on his part TO
look into the. matter. 4 Lanston was
made to appear III D very bad light

Under the above title, a cores

writes to that paper of his exper-
fence on trip up to Hersey and
vicinity. In speaking of the i'm
provements which have been made
within the past FIVE years, he notes
the individual case Of John w.
Mills, near Jersey, who FIVE years
ago commenced with $500 on a
partially improved 80 acres, for
which he was to pay $40 per acre.
To-day lie has 40 ncres cleared,
and has no debts that he cannot
pay at sight. With this as start
ing point, tho article continues:
"How many of our mechanics in
this city to-day have $500, $500,
or even 500, which, If not invested
in house and lot, is on deposit

We will look ut the land and not

dollars, on the supposition that if
we buy of him he will give us, a

characteristic of the officers of that
