not girl to awaken contempt. From
the first he had believed in her, as he
thought, because of her resemblance to
his long-lost mother, but. as he after
wards realized, because of what she was
herself.
Her innocence, her truthfulness, and
her goodness charmed him more than
her grace, or the indeflnable witchery
of a face that was not beautiful, but, as
he acknowledged, more attractive than
any other he had ever seen.
When Frank at length returned to
the city he wore ''the counterfeit pre-
sentiment Of that sweet face near his
heart, and gazed at it-often-with an
intentness and fondness entirely incon-
sistent with his previous cynical ex-
pressions regarding the whole of the
sex. f
With the New Year, Lucy went out
Of the old farmhouse a bride.
Two years afterwards, while Frank
was toddling a baby on his knee in the

leaned over the back Of his chair, and

dlrectiy or indirectly, In support of this holy
cause; put am clearly OF the opinion that the
accounting officers OF the treasury have no
power SO TO refund without the action Of con-
greSs."
Secretary Sherman, in ruling on the applioa-
tlon OF the state to open and allow this ac-
count, uses the following language: at is
clearly an equitable claim, but not more SO
terest on money borrowed or advanced for the
same patriotic purpose, and which congress
u0ne mas power to allow"
we ASK congress to make provision for the
payment or this claim, because il Is Just and
because IL is honestly DUE
In the brief presented to the secretary we,
called attention to the several acts of congress-,
the rulings OF the attorney general. the
decision OF the court of claims and the SUI
preme court, and thus show that claims of the
same nature OF this have been paid by the
government without single exception. No
claim OF this character has been rejected and
We Inlnk no such claim should ever be.
In the case OF the United States VS.. Mckee
ct al, lsl United States Supreme Court Re-
ports, from page AS to AL lnclusiveD in the
argument OF counsel reference Is made to the
several acts OF congress allowing interest on
war claims. The position assumed by coun-
sci is fully approved by the court.
Tnls claim Is not for interest claimed to have
accrued on an unliquidated claim in favor of
the state against the United States, but il is a
claim for interest paid by the state for the use
and benefit of the United States-money ex-
pended for her.
Therefore, the claim here made is much
stronger, and more equitable, than any of the
cases referred to in the Mckee case.
The bill only provides for the payment of
the claim for interest paid on her war loan
bonds. she aoandons the claim for discount
suffered, etc. T. w. WooLLEN,
Attorney General of Indiana.

Honors to a Pioneer.

During the state fair and at the meeting
of the Pioneer Association a committee con
sisting of George Crawford, Aaron Wood, B.
I. Ristine and Caleb Wells were appointed
to draft tribnte to the memory of the late
John Beard, the founder of the common
school system Of Indiana, The following is
the result of their labors:
That in Mr.. Beard, whose far seeing sagacity
saw in the unlimited resources OF the state and
in the future vast population, ana recognIz-
ing the fact that 10 make the state really great
and prosperous, intelligence and education
should keep pace with its national progress;
and that by his indefatigable energy ana per-
Legislature of 1893 81, succeeded by his amend
ment to the state bank charter, in transferring
the sin king fund TO the common school fund,
by which Si,0OO,000 was added TO the cause of
education, we recognize q true statesman, q
man of pure and unselfsh patriotism, and q
benefactor to the state and his race. We there
fore recommend that this association memor-
ialize the legislature at lis coming session, and
that petitions be circulated asking the l. gisla-
ture to make an appropriation for the purpose
OF erecting suitable monument to his menu
ory, with a proper inscription oommemora-
tive ot his services TO the state and the cause
of education. -..#.
We also take this occasion to refer to the
fact that Ex-Governor Jonathan Jennings, the
first governor of the state and for a long time
sole representative in congress from this state,
and whose lasting and valuable services de-
serve some fitting testimonial, lies buried at
CharleStOwn, CLARK county, without even q
headstone to mard his grave.

Indiana War Claims.

Attorney General Woollen and Judge
Denny. counsel for the state, left for Wash
ingten, d. c., last night to press the war
claims of the state against the general gov
ernment for the state of Indiana before con-
gress. This claim is for 1852. 1S6 81,
being the amount of interest paid on
the war loan bonds of Indiana ''as ex-
penses" which were incurred un-
der the act of congress of July q, 1861,
In May 1868, this claim was presented to
the United States Treasury and payment re-
fused. The facts upon which the state based
her claims are substantially as follows: At
the beginning of the rebellion the state is
sued 100000 OF bonds, with interest, to-
aid her in suppressing the rebellion, which
were negotiated and the money expended
for that purpose. 1t seems as though the
comptroller misconstrued the action of the
state, and treated the claim as interest upon
an account, as il the money had been on
had been on hand in the state treasury and
advanced for the purpose named, and was
not an actual payment of interest upon her
bonds.
The following is the appeal made by the
attorney general and his coeounsel TO con.
gress:
The state Of Indiana IL now compelled to
come to congress and ask that provision be
made for the payment of a claim that Is ad-
rnitted by the department to be just and equi.
table, but one that can not be paid by the ex, Z;

claim, " When the condition of

street Car Drivers on a strike.

New YORK, Dec. 16.-A short time ago
two drivers, the leaders in former strike,
were discharged by the Third Avenue Rail-
road Company to-day. Their comrades, in
hope to compel their unemployment, went
on a strike. and only few cars were run
Ming with the new drivers under the pro

unable to accommodate all travel and much
annoyance is caused to uptown dwellers

The two ring leaders were arrested, but
the strike of the drivers was continued to-
night aud several assaults occurred by
strikers Cobblestones, iron pipes and poles
were thrown across the tracks at spersely pop
ulated points, and several new drivers were
attacked. Two or three policemen were
placed on each car, and the whole avenue
was well lined with officers. A meeting of
the strikers was held to night and very in
flsmmstory speeches were made. A resolu-
ton passed denouncing the Third Avenue
Railroad and declaring the intentions of the
drivers to hold out to the end. The rail
road directors met and resolved not 10 take
back any OF the strikers on any terms, and
to run the road as they deemed best They
have received many threatening letters, and
are determined to bring the matter to issue.

The Pool Trouble

The committee from the board of trade
appointed to confer with the pool managers
regarding the alleged discrimination against
this city reported yesterday. The following
is the report:
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. is, 1878.
Mr.. PBRsIDENT-Your committee held a
conference with the pool managers on the
lVth, and proved conclusively that the pool as
established now was an unfair one. Some of
the officials intimated that our information
was not reliable, but now the discrimination
against us is so manifest that it would be
appropriate for us TO recommend that a de-
mand be made upon the pool commissioners
to fulfill at once their promises TO reduce rates
to meet the determinations
We submit that II is not becoming the dig
nifty of this body, nor will 1t add to it's impor-
weak IN a matter of such grave importance to
this city. 1t is currently rumored that the
tariff has been relaxed already in favor of a
few chosen dealers, and any hesitation on our
part Will but add to the confirmation of the
theory that this body is never united on
matters OF importance. 1t appears as IL the
commissioners have hopes that II they MAIN
tain the pool successfully here il will have the
effect OF strengthening the pool at other points.
For six weeks now the pool has been in opera
ton here, and to-day the pools elsewhere are
no nearer success than before. We therefore
think IL only just to us that IL further expert
ments are TO be made the railroads will try
them on new patients.
The report was unanimously adopted, and
a committe consisting of ]. A Closer, Colonel
Wood and Nathaniel Neeld was appointed
to present the action of the board to the
pool commissioners.
