THE BILL relating to the commission
ers Of claims reported yesterday by
Judge Lawrence from the Committee on
War Claims, full synopsis of which will
be found in our report of Congressional
proceedings, was after a sharp struggle,
finally recommitted to the committee, where
1t will probably remain for the remainder
of the present session. as it goes back with
out the leave to report at any time, which
privilege the committee had yesterday.
The bill contains many provisions
that should be enacted into law without
delay, among others the section providing
for the appointment Of two additional
agents, and the section authorizing the COM
missioners to hear any claims referred to
them by either House of Congress. The
amendments proposed by Mr.. Cobb, of
North Carolina, which are given in our re-
port elsewhere, were rejected, the first by a
tie vote, and their defeat finally led to the
recommittal of the bill to the committee.
There is no doubt but that the law creating
the commissioners Of claims, and the acts
amendarory thereof need further amend
ment and the mistake of the committee
consisted in delaying action on the bill to SO
late day in the session as to render careful
consideration, which the subject demands,
impossible at this time.

REER AND P0LLTLCS

The New York World has way, in the
absence of any earnest or healthy political
convictions, Of catching at every little straw
that comes to the surface and giving it a
political twist which, to those who have
watched its course, is truly ridiculous. For
instance, in a recent issue, in commenting
upon a vote in the House of Representa-
tives upon the duty on hops, our political
Cheap John cotemporary says: alt is no
wonder that the poor German casts long
'fngly his minds eye across to Germany,
''that army ridden country which main
''tains standing army of 41O, 900 men and
''yet can furnish glass of Bavarian beer
'Ior two cents, while here it costs five or
''ten cents" This two cent political clap
trap it is which has brought the World into
its present deserved contempt politically.
Argument-it is a misnomer to call such
trash argument-does not deceive anybody,
and least of all the "poor" German. The
German is brave, intelligent law-sbiding
citizen, and is not fool enough to be gulled
by any such stuff as this of the World
Bavarian beer may be only two cents in
Prussia and FIVE cents In the United States.
Protection may be to blame for the differ
encs In price; but Of what advantage is 1t
to the German when he has not and cannot
get the two cents TO pay for itH If the
World will devote itss1f to beer-upon
which it seems to be an suthority-aud let
politics alone; if 1t will, in a word, learn
that because 1t is an idiot it does not follow
that our German fellow-citizens are to be
classed in the same category, there will be
some hope that it may become what it has
never been-a successful newspaper, enti-
tied to some degree of confidence and re-

WHO ARE THEYi

The New York TribIne yesterday says
"The citizens of the District of Columbia
very generally express desire that Con.
gress shall not when the present Joint
" Investigating Committee makes Its report,
" abandon the inquiry into the financial af-
" fairs Of the District of Columbia govern
"ment. .. What is needed is q
thorough overhauling of all the affairs Of
" the District officials by experts and a re-
port at the next session of Congress, of
just how much has been lost or stolen,
and who are responsible" Will the
Tribune be good enough to mention the
names of those citizens who are so exer.
cised upon this pointf We will make q
small wager-athough we are opposed to
betting--that it cannot name twenty re:
sponsiele' citizens outside of the ranks of
the forty or fifty mernorialists. who are in
favor of the proposition, suggested by 1t.
The statement Is q fslsehood upon its face,
and the idea at the bottom of the entire
thing is evidently inspired by the hope that
possibly ,somethlng may ! be discov :
cred which would influence the forthcom-
ing falleiections'for Congress. The Tribune,
In other words, IS sfter Sensation" In our
