WASHINGTON, April 29.-Mr. Morrison

spending the past six days here trying to
get the appointment of McGarigle as United

that would help him. He to-day obtained
the insertion of the following remarkable
statement in the New York Times;
''Col. W. r. Morrison says the stories
told about his being in Washington to
fix up the senatorial election in his state are
all bosh, that the election will be settled at
Springfield, ILL.,, and not here, and Mr.. MS

The PosfaICongress.

WASHINGTON, April ga report of
the proceedings of the Universal Postal
congress, which closed at Lisbon, March 81,
has been received at the postoffice depart
ment. The most important changes made
in the original convention by the congress
were as follows: The use of reply postal
cards was rendered general to the extent
that those countries which do not issue
such cards are bound to return the reply
cards which they receive from other coun-
tries.
Packets of commercial papers and printed
matter will only be forwarded by letter post
on the condition that they are not heavier
than two kilogrammeS and do not exceed
forty-five centimetersss in length, depth or
width. The question of ownership of let
tiers in the course of conveyance was de-
cided in favor of the sender to whom the
right was granted to withdraw them from
the postal service so long as they have not
been delivered. This rule does not apply
to countries in which the legisla-
ton is in conflict with the same. The
service of the delivery of letters
by express was introduced into the interna-
tional relations by new article which pro-
vides that: Articles of correspondence Of
every kind shall, at the request of the send
ers, be delivered at the dOmiciles of the adj
dresses by special messenger Immediately
on the arrival in the countries of the union
which consent to undertake this service in
their reciprocal relations at charge fixed
at 80 centimes, which must be paid fully
and in advance by the sender, in addition to
the ordinary postage.

Col. I. S. Tichcnor Recommends spne
Important reforms IN tbs Finanoo-.
District Auditor Ticbenor yesterday sub.
mitted his annual report TO the commits
tiouCre, showing the receipt aud expen1l-
lures Of the District government for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1855. The en-
the revenues during the time named, in
cludirg appropriations by Congress, wero
S4,25l ,0J2. The auditor says: During the
year there were 173 cases in which duplicate
payment OF taxes occurred, aggregating
the sum of S2,81S.G9. The report says "In
view Of the fact that under the present
system Of daily auditing Of receipts of the
collector, this office has certain knowledge
of each case, and, as the records show them
to he numerous each year, Il is recon-
meIdCd that authority be given to publish
in the newspaper OF this city, annually, q
complete list, giving names the square aud
lot, together with the amount ovcrpaid
"ln order to facilitate the examination
and audit OF the old accounts and tax books,
/ beg to renew the ret ommendatlou con.
tanned IN my last annual report, viz. That
all arrears Of taxes due the District Of CO.

dated into arrears Of delinquent tax books,
which should be prepared in duplicate,

son, and one set furnished this office. IL
will undoubtedly be necessary TO ask au-
thority of Congress to do this work, aud
give legality to the delinquent books when
prepared and improved by the commits
sioncrs, but their value when completed
can hardly he ovorestimated. TO prepare
the record properly and accurately, con-
siderable time and labor will he required,
and the work must be performed, TO a
great extent, outside ofrGgular office hours,
as most, If not all, the old books are in daily
use.
"a special appropriation will therefore
be necessary to meet the expenses, and sln-
asmuch as Inexperienced and trained employees
who are already familiar with the old rec
oids can be more advantlgoously employed
than those without this experience, it is
suggested that such be selected us far as
practicable, and authority be asked OF Con-
gress to pay them extra compensation for
Ills service when performed Mt other times
than during office hours. Whatever tho
cost will he 10 will find full compensation in
many ways, particularly in the great saving
Of time in daily examination of the old rec
oIds, the removal of much liability TO error,
now almost unavoidable, and eventually d
large saving In the clerical labor now nee
cssarily employed in this particular branch
of the service"
It further recommended In this con-
nCction that arrears or delinquent tax
books he prepared in the future at the close
Of each fiscal year, ns is now the practice In

Sparks and tho Land Laws.

William A. j. Sparks, commissioner of
the general land office, has again distn-
guishcd himself. He has decided that
settler can make but one cash payment for
government land that is to say, person
who makes proof as pre-emptor and sub
sequently takes homestead cannot have
the benefit OF the commutation clause Of
the homestead law. This decision flies
squarely in the face of the homestead law
itself, which provides that If homestead
settler does not wish to remain five years on
n tract, he may pay for 1t with cash at the
end Of the required six months residence.
There Is nothing in the pre-emption act
which deprives settler OF the benefits of
the commutation clause In the homestead
law; neither is there anything in the home
stead law compelling homestead settler
who has made proof on presumption to
reside upon the land five years. This is
optional with the settler. lie may obtain a
free title to homestead at the end Of five
year residence, or he may pay Sl.25 per acre
at the end OF Il siX-month residence, and OBJ
tain guaranty from the government that
title viii issue.
The effect of sparllss decision, should II
be sustained, would be TO do away with the
cOmmutation clause Of the homestead law
without congressional enactment, and con-
sequently millions of acres of committed
lands in Dakota and northern Minnesota
patents have not issued, would be thrown
back upon the market, for there are thou
sands OF homesteaders who have made proof
upon pre-emptlons now engaged in culti-
waiting their lands under both rights, having
paid cash for both in compliance with law.
Many Of these hOmesteadcrs acting un-
der the law as Interpreted by former ad-
minlstratiOns permitting these entries,
have made valuable and permanent i'm
provements upon these lands, and In many
cases have borrowed money from eastern
capitalists who have sought investments In
western realty. These lands have also
been entered up for taxation In the coun-
ties in which they are situated. On the Of
fetal blanks furnished the local land Office
by Mr.. Sparks's department permission Is
given, without any reservation, to make
this cash entry. Notwithstanding all this
Mr.. Sparks, without having issued any Or
der notifying the general public of his new
Interpretation, puts forth a decision, the
effect OF which will be to destroy the title
10 nearly all commuted homesteads, be-
cause many of these entries have been made
by settlers who have heretofore enjoyed the
presumption right.
There Is another hardship which this
Sparks decision will entail, for II is a two
edged sword and cuts both ways. Hun
dreds Of men in the northwest have eXer-
cised their homestead right, paying cash for
their land, and subsequently sold 1t. Fol-
owing the tide of immigration, they have
used their pre-emptlon right and put sec
ond farm under cultivation. III patents
have not been Issued TO this class OF pre-
National Republican., 1885-11-28

cmptors, under the Sparks decision, their
time and labor are wasted, for he holds that
settler can purchase but one quarter Sec
ton and even ifa pre-emptor of this class
has received q patent the title, according to
the Sparks theory, may be attacked.
Congress made the land laws, and Con-
ErCss must unmake them II they are wrong;
Mr. Sparks cannot apply the remedy. But
the decision Of the commissioner is not an
assault upon the laws; 1t is an assault upon
the settler and upon investors. Congress
has sai0 that the settler is entitled to exor-
else certain rights in acquiring lands for
homes; Mr.. Sparks, whose duties are merely
ministerial, says the settler shall not exer-
else those rights. That is the gist Of the
decision.
The liberal land laws of the country.
framed and amended by many Congresses
and approved by the highest judicial au-
thority, have enabled millions of poor pco-
pie to acquire homes In the far-reaching
west. The rapid development of Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Dakota
is due chiefly to the advantages obtained
under these laws, in the framing Of which
some Of the wisest men Of the present cen
tury took part Yet this man Sparks, n
mere novice in land affairs and nothing
startling as n lawmakcr, overthrows the
work Of many sessions of Congress, conils-
Gates millions Of dollars to the government,
and deals blow to many thousands Of
honest and industrious people who are
striving to gain u livelihood.
The law making power Of the nation con-
vcncs at Washington in q few weeks, and
the prospect for lively session grows
brighter every day. We bncliwoods Dako-
tans are anxious to know II Mr. Sparks Is u
bigger man than Congress.
