Claims Against the Government.

1t Is time that something should b done for
the relief of those who have just claims against
the Government. IN no iUiii1ed country in The
world IS so d.GcW 10 obtain from Gorern-
ment N,c pdymem Of private Claims, although
Joun},d IN huh and justice. In AN able report
made !" l"is. bv Mr.. Rockwell, Of Connects
cut. It was stated that in sN years $3.50 pcli-
tons were presented to both liou1es OF Con.
gross by private claimlnts, ana of these 1851
were not reported upon by any committee and
in the ten succeeding year' there were present
ed 1888 petitions to the House Of Rpprcsen-
titivcs, and S,9JS were not reported upon by
any committee, more than half that number =
But, small comparatively as was the number
reported TO Congress, the number 0cied upon
was probably not more than one in five ! I'M
dreds Of enthusiastically welt upon Congress,
! knocking ut It's oors for justice, and employ
! inv agents to prosecute their claims, with con-
stantly accnnuHtlnq costs, and are doomed
year after yr to reap the fruits of brter dsap-
polnmen. Perchance claim may be report
ed upon avorably for several years in success
sion but may he rejected by the House or lett
over with the III IS Of unfinished business, and
possibly for ~ other reason than that the poor
claimant has no powerful friends or other means
to reach and interest minority of the members
in his behalf.
These and other evils connected with the
present system of enforcing claim. agains the
Government, require prompt and immediate
remedy. The disgrace should no Longer at
