that the register charged Robb $7 5

W hiting , Iowa ; Dlr. Wright state a
under oath that April 5 , 1878 , h o
ca lled in parson at the land office a t
Norfolk to got a patent on his home ,
stead ; that Dlr. Schwenck , the regis .
ter , told him that his entry was sus .
Aoudad and that ho ( Schwonck )
thought that if I would make out t t
st atement , under of my id0n
t1ty , and give him $ , hu wool a
sand a statement and money to Ilan
M r. Welch , at Washington , and h o
would procure the patent far me.
* * * I told lam t ° Bond o n
and when the patent cams I wool nd
pay him rho money , but ho laughs d
at ma and said that Welch did not d 0
a credit hueaces } , 'Theo I cold hit
that I was not prepared t ° pay the I :
amount at present , so ho said that I
could pay } rim fifty cents for ntakin [
out the statement and then when I
got } tamp I could send iho money t o
h im. So I paid him the fifty coots ,
When Rogisiar Schwonck [ nun a
that his little scheme had bean e a -
gases to the general land oflico h o
wrote to the commissioner , forwar a ,
lag Nright's affidavit , and stated the t
said statement fa erroneous and erns n
stns from the fact that Mr. Nrr ; nht
did not know who the officer of t ho
land office were , end that he was r o ,
rlueatud to furnish aduly carrobbrat ed
a ffidavit , which Ito was unable to di ,
whereupon a real estate , , ( out tried ! e

employ an attorney at NaBhington tote
coo to this matter , and in order to
s hield hits tram any imposition , wu
took his own u0iaavit , tolling hi tit
that we would explain the matter to
rho department.
Under the same date Schwonck , in a
l etter to DIr , lVolcll , explains : "Sai d

after explaining to him rho suepmtsio n
of his entry 1Vnt , Lowe , roil seta (0

a clerk for Register Sahsvonck , but i n
this case as in others Schwonck alto ws
his superior ability for
making e x -

states that his conversation was wit h

The Question of Free Canals ,

The canal question ] s now rho load

not a partisan question. At least n
party as such would be benefited aitho

p arty organizations will make no es
p edal efforts to influence the popula r
VOtO on this gUCB110n , which iii corn
Pariaon with the votoforpublicoEiicer e
is likely to bo light. All that pantie a
can bo expected to ( lo is to indorse th °
a mendment in theft convoniions. I t
is expected that the deuocratlc eta1 ; °

of supporting thcrosolves. A cane 1

su premacy and its rank na the londln
state of the union. No effort should

T he strength o { the opposition to the
proposed abolition of tolls should no t
be underestimated. It will regain
popular agitation and efficient work
under the auspices of commercial or
