The Argument Accompanying the Report of
the Committee on Agriculture.
WASHINGTON April 28-The report sub
united to the House, to day, by Representative
Hatch from the committee on agriculture rec
pmmending the passage of the bill to tax oleo-
margarine 10 cents per pound, says that the
power of the federal government TO impose an
internal revenue tax upon counterfeit butter is
loo well established by a icng line Of presidents
TO require any argument As to the propriety
of the legislation the report says that there are
from 900 900 to 5. 900. 900 American cti zens
gagged in the dairy business, and that they must
all abandon it, and be driven into some other al
ready oyerworked branch Of industry, unless
they can be relieved from tho present ruinous
competition with cheap limitations of butter and
cheese. Such limitations, says the re-
port, are not only disastrous to the
dairy. interest directly and to all
branches of agriculture indirectly, but are detri-
mental to public health, being the fruitful cause
of dyspepsia and other diseases. From the best
and most reliable information obtainable the
committee believe that about two hundred mill
don pounds OF spurious and imitation compounds
and mixtures are now being manufactured and
80 much butter, but stops the consu mption of
much more by the Decentralization of the trade
besides being, in the comm toes opinion, de-
moralzing in its effects upon the people. The
report says, further. that the existence of these
base counterfeits has already seriously impaired
our export trade, and will result in still greater
damage il not checked. Also, that at least nine
kenths of the people of the United States demand

CINCINNATI ELECTION FRAUDS.
The Committee Found Itself Unable to Agree,
and Two Reports Were Submitted.

COLUMBUS, o., April %. The reports of the
investigating committee in the Hamilton county
senatorial contests have been completed and an
the committee that they shall be submitted to
the Senate tomorrow, be printed and come up
for final action next week. The confidence Of
the members of the committee has been abused
and tho leading points Of the reports have
already leaked out. The Republican members
review the frauds in Hamilton county in general
and concentrate on the specific < auds claimed
to have been shown in Fourth ward A, Sixth
ward, d and G., and Ninth ward, f. These give
the Democrats ], S58 and the Republicans 179
votes. The report shows by an accumulation of
evidence that the returns from these precincts
were so permeated by fraud as to be wholly
worthless, and recommends that under the first
proposition of the agreement Of The committee of
six, which provided that the committee should
throw out the whole vote in precincts where
there was evident fraud by the officers of ele
ton, the entire vote of these four precincts be
thrown out, thus cutting down the vote of the
Democratic candidates 1858 and OF the Repub-
lican candidates 179, and electing all the Repub.
lican senatorial candidates. The report of the
Democratic members claims that there were both
Republican and Democratic frauds, and states
that under the second proposition adopted by the
committee OF six. which provided that in PRE-
cincts where frauds were committed by others
than the officers of election the committee should
ascertain the extent of such frauds and eliminate
them. fraudulent votes returned in four Demo
cratic precinct, including the notorious precinct
A. Fourth ward, and in nine Republican pre-
eincts should be thrown out. Throwing out
these thirteen precincts majority of about one
thousand is given for the Democratic sitting
members. They find that the Democratic mem
bers are entitled to tho seats. The reports
agree In some respects as to precincts which
shall be thrown out under the rule.

Special to the Indianapolis JourpaL
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Ever since Mr..
Sparks has been the chief official of the Land
Department of the government he has taken
pleasure in publishing statements, from time to
time to the effect that nine tenths of all the land
entries in the country were fraudulent He has
frequently asserted that it is difficult to find
an honest settler on the public domain as it
would be for the proverbial camel to crawl
through the needles eye. He, however, has
failed persistently in proving his assertions, and
has thus far done nothing beyond tying up land
entries in the Northwest. to the great inconven-
ience of settlers, who have, through his fanatical
course, been seriously affected. One of Mr..
Sparks's fraudulent cases, which has just come
to light, is sample Of a number. In this in
stance settler entered homestead in the
southern Michigan peninsula, some nine years
ago, and paid the fees required by law
He has taken every step required by
the statutes, and has proved up
DO the satisfaction Of all concerned
except Mr.. Sparks. 1t is found, upon examn-
Ing this mans papers, that in his original appl-
cation he made mistake and applied for lands
on range 3. township "a. when his ap-
plication should have stated that his entry was
on range 5. township a. In all papers subse-
luent to the initial application the mistake has
been corrected. and it is evident that it was
through mere slip of the pen that the error in
bis original application was made. But Sparks
has decided that the entry is fraudulent, and
that no patent can be granted. In ordinary
eases entries Of this kind have been certified for
cancellation. but the homesteader has been en-
Rbled to correct the mistake By filing proper afi-
T. = - a. -,
Sparks does not intend to allow this great fraud
TO escape so easily in this instance. He proposes
that the man who has lived on a homestead and
complied with all the requirements of law shall
