introduced oil to appropriate thirty millions
to be used by the President in negotiating Tor

The French spoIiatiou Bill

The subject of French SPoliation claims has
been before Congress for half century, and
two bills passed to adjust them, one IN lS40
and another in 1854, received Presidential
vetoes. The claims arise out of seizures made
bv French vessels If war because the United
States declared neutrality in the contest be-
tween France and England, and did not carry
ont the treaty of alliance made after the revolu-
ton. Our government authorized certain re-
taliatory acts, and the claims have not been re-
cognized, as a state of war was assumed to e1-
ist with. France, and the losses were therefore
onlv the natural results of such state Inc
claims are for seizures by the French prior to
the Convention of 1901 and not included II
the Convention of 1903.
That there is justice in the claims is aPpa'
rent from the repeated action of Congress re-
eognizing them and providing for their pay
ment. On the 10Th instant the Senate passed
the French SpoIiation bill again, and 1t Is
quite probable it will find favor in the House.
The bill appropriates Five Millions of dollars
to paw the claims of our citizens despoiled by
the French. .-.---..

senators douglas, slideIl, and Jones

The everlasting uigger question has be-
come personal one between Senators douglas

nous attacks upon Mr.. SIidell- Mr.. shdeu re-
plies to this through the Union OF the IZth'
gives his reasons for making the charge, COM
plains that there is paragraph in the card OF
Mr.. Douglas which fairly admits the construc-
ton that he had denounced Mr.. s. in Chicago
as a caIumniator, and with significance says;
IT seems to me that sense of the common
eourtesies of life, and of our position as Sena-
tors should have dictated the propriety of calling
on me either to deny the statement or to vlndl-
cate its truth vet it never occurred to M
Douplas to suggest even doubt of my having
been capable of originating such calumny
So far Mr. Douglas has quietly borne the
repetition of gross indignity from Mr. sddell
with the full knowledge too, that it was intend
ed to be personal. A correspondent of the BOs
ton Traveller states that Senator Jones, OF Iowa
who has also been grossly insulting to Mr.
Douglas, expects challenge, and has gone SC
far in completing arrangements for its accept
ance as to engage his second, who is mention
ing the fact, in confidence, to almost everybody
he knows. The prospect of an appeal to th'
code, however, is very slim, as Mr.. Douglas
appears to bear meekly whatever humiliation
may be imposed by his political associates, 81
that they tolerate his return to the party.

says:
Much has been said and written about care
less legislation in Congress, but case has just
come under my observation, exhibiting extraor-
binary carelessness on the part of certain MEM
bers in connection with the interests of their
constituents Itappears that Charles Waldron,
of Brooklyn, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, petitioned
Congress in I842, for an allowance of Sls6, 80,
for corn, beef, ETC., furnished the United States
troops at Fort Defiance, in 1885 and 1886. A
bill was passed and approved January 8, 1916,
for his relief The petition was again presented
in 1856, when Mr.. Guthrie informed the mem
ber having charge of the case that law had
already been passed for Waldron's benefit, and
that the money would be paid him whenever
he applied or would notify the Department OF
his post office. Strange to say, the same mem
ber has again presented the same petition for
the same allowance, and although the money
has been appropriated for over ten years, the
claimant has never been notified, and he is no
doubt censuring Congress for Withholding from
him his just demand.
