amount OF time heretofore literally wasted In
the discussion Of private bills
It also remains to be proved that the ex-
penses Of the "poor claimant in getting a
fair hearing before the court, will be greater
than the costs of the old lobby system. The
court may interfere very materially with the
..-a.s of the lobby but we suppose that
this Will be an~a-- advantage gained to the
prosecution of business IN Congress, in being
relieved from the pressure Of lobby men. On
the other hand, if the "poor claimantso are
debarred proper hearing before the court
from the expenses it requires, Congress can
modify the act establishing this general com
mittee. At all events, let the "pcor claim
ants" give the court fair trial before they
condemn 1t. Conducted upon proper princi-
pies, we think 1t a good institution. Let US
give it trial.
