The General Land Office Of the United
States, though not distinctive branch OF
the Government, is yet bureau that is SO
clearly identified with the dearest interests
Of the people that its administration If en-
trusted to incompetent hands wounds the
public welfare to an extent not possible
with any other branch Of the service. II
has the practical control Of the Govern
ment's vast domain, caring for the rights
Of the millions who seek homes under the
,nagnanimous acts Of Congress; distribut-
ing among railroad companies, with strict
regard for the law, the lands granted
them as subsidies; experimenting the sur
veys and subdivisions, and keeping the
original record of title to land covering the
whole country, and deciding with judicious
discretion the slightest details Of the vast
business that comes before it in the shape
appeals from the land offices distributed
throughout the country. In word, the
head OF the General Land Office is at once
clothed with almost unlimited power and
endless responsibility in the Legitimate per.
formance Of his duties. This great discre
tionary power and these vast responsibilities
are now entrusted to Hon. n. C.. McFar
land, who since his accession to the posi-
ton, has discharged its duties to the accept
ance Of all with whom he has had official
relations, and whose official career has
been characterized by zeal for the well
fare Of the public rarely demonstrated in
these days Of political degeneracy.
Born in Washington county, in the state
Of Pennsylvania, on the twenty .sccond day
Of April, 1892, the subject Of this sketch
was duly prepared and admitted to the col,
lege in his native town. In 1876 at the
age Of twenty -four years, we find him in
the Office of the late Josiah Scott, judge OF
the supreme court Of Ohio, at Bucyrus,
where he pursued his legal studies until
lS49, when he with the judge removed 10
Hamilton, entering into partnership with
his instructor, engaging in the active prac-
tice OF his profession which he continued
for some years. In 1865 Mr.. Mcfarland $
friends sought wider distinction for him
by choosing him to represent them in the
State senate, in which his rare legal abil.
tiles were at once recognized by being
made chairman Of the judiciary committee
In 1868 he was selected as one OF the
Ohio delegation to the National Repub.
lican Convention al Chicago, which nom'
mated Gen. Grant. In lS7, he was elected
to the Kansas senate. In 1873 he was Sc
lected by President Hayes as one Of the
commissioners to the Ute Indians, with a
mission to adjust the differences growing
out Of the infraction Of treaty stipulation,
BY that tribe.
In June 1891 President Garfield ten
dered to Mr. Mcfarland the position hs
now holds, and on the twentv.third day o
the same month he entered upon his du
ties. The senate not being in session a
the time, he of course was not confirmed
but upon the accession OF President AR
thur in September following, he wa
promptly re-appointed by him, and in thu
following December unanimously confirm
ed by the senate.

THE STAR has reason to be gratified with the
favorable manner in which the public has re-
ceived It's suggestions to break the monotony OF
statuary in Washington by substituting hand.
some arch for human enjoy, when the proper oc =
casfon offers, and to erect also In some suitable
place a sculptured fountain In honor of Major
fEnfant the distinguished engineer to whom the
city owes Its beautiful plan. There appears to be
some prospect that the first suggestion may be
utilized In the memorial to President Garfield,
proposed to be erected here by the Society OF the
Army Of the Cumberland; and should the purpose
OF that organization take this shape and result In
an appropriate structure 1t would be matter for
general congratulation- Care should be taken
however, before entering upon work of this
character to have sufficient means secured to make
The arch large enough In size to be imposing at dis
lance and sufficiently elaborate in general design
and ornamentation to be pleasing to the eye on
near view. Unless these conditions are met, and
IN liberal way, the result would be not only q
lamentable failure but notifying travesty.
AS TO the suggested fountain In honor of PEn-
FAINT, that proposition is surrounded by no Such
difficulties 1t is Invested Of any collateral con-
sideratlons 1t does not need to be large nor ex-
pensiye, though care should be taken to make 1t
an object In every way worthy the purpose it is to
serve. IL taken up by a committee of active gen.
tlemen who possess the confidence of the commu-
nifty there Is every believe that the money
Tor this purpose could be raised without difficulty
There Is, however. no bury In either case. It's
Tar better TO walt than to make a mistake. Only
Let the matter not be forgotten.

1t is poor business for newspapers to engage In.
Better openly AMI honestly denounce the proceed

community, and leads to other lawleSS acts
When prominent citizens engage In lynching,
and justify themselves by the aggravating deeds
that provoked It they set an example that is al
most certain to do mischief.
