says that the contractor who em>
ploys convict labor suffers from the
general estimation of the public
that a convict never tries to become
proficient laborer. The Metal
Worker commends the contract sys-
tenn as practiced in New York, and
says that the strongest evidence of
it's efficiency "is contained in the fact
that the number of convicts is stead
lily and rapidly declining and that it
is intensely unpopular with the con-
viets themselves" We are not pres
pared to admit that this is correct
reasoning. The peniteptiary of Ken>
lucky is looked upon as being equal
TO the black hole of Calcutta, and is
certainly not popular place, but we
notice that criminals subject them>
selves to punishment within it's
walls all the same.

Keokuk Constitution
Hearing that there wac a lady
living in this city who had once been
courted by Gen. q. s. Grant, and
who had refused her hand in early
womanhood to this noted American
civil and military character, a Cons
stitution reporter sought an inter>
view With the lady, with very salts
factory results. The newspaper rep
resentative found the early
sweetheart of Gen. Grant
to be lady considerably advanced in
years, yet still large, active and
buoyant, and not nearly SO reticent
as the general. She had not seen
General Grant since 1850, she said,
and then his father carried on a tan-
merry in Portsmouth, 0. She once
had occasion to reside for a time in
the family of farmer whose farm
adioined that OF Grants father-only
line of fence between-and it was
during her stay at this farmhouse
that she was courted by General
Grant. It must have been in the
spring time, for she says she and
Grant would meet at the division
fence, on each side of which were
beautiful flowers.
"'Ulick," said she, "would say to
me, lets gather flowers, and see who

SOUTHERN CLAIMS

History will do the government OF
the United States full justice for it's
vigorous policy in dealing with the
late rebellion. Its suppression IN
volved a struggle of the greatest
magnitude, and although for Il short
time the loyal people of the country
did not appear to fully appreciate
the magnitude of the undertaking,
yet they were not long in rising to
the full height of the occasion,
and men turned out by the hundred
thousand, and money was raised by
the hundreds OF, millions. Nothing
short of the most vigorous prosecu~
of the war could have saved the
Union.
We are sorry that we cannot give
the government credit for the same
vigor in the disposition of ques-
tions growing out of the war.
During the war there were
thousands of persons throughout the
South who were loyal,to the govern
ment, whose property was taken for
the use of, or destroyed by govern
ment authority. Some of them were
reimbursed, many of them have not
been yet, though the war closed sew
enteen years ago. The policy OF the
government in dealing with this
class of claims, has been weak, un-
just, halting-a shame and dis
grace. We know of men who took
it upon themselves to go to the Fed
eral military authorities and turn over
their property for purposes of de-
tense, or to be used IN sustaining
the army, without waiting for it to
be seized, who were compelled to wait
for years for their pay, and who
finally employed claim agents, pay
ing them as high as % per cent. to
collect their claims, and were com
PEELED to submit to reduction far
below the real value of what was ia
ken. Some such have not received
their claims yet-hundreds of them,
and if they ever do, will have to pay
oue-fourth of the amount allowed
for their collection.
In the investigation OF these
claims, under the policy pursued
by the government, almost enough
has been paid out for extra officials
TO pay the full amount Of the claims
At the close of the late war between
France and Germany, one OF th'
first things did by the French Assem-
bly, was to make large appropri
alton, which was placed under the con
troll of the executive branch Of tb
government, with instructions t,
ascertain who had sustained loss O
property by the war, or who ha'
served the government without CON
pensation, and TO reimburse then
The result was, that the claims grow
ing out of the war were soon pal
and everybody was satisfied. Ii on
government had pursued som
such course as this, all thes
war claims would have been settle

the miserable, hating, unreasona.

the case few days ago, there are
those who grow exceedingly econom-

gressmen who will vote willingly to
take hundred thousand dollars from
the treasury to improve navigation
on small creek in their
districts, who when an honest farmer
wants hundred dollars to pay for

to denounce such policy as dis.

A FRIEND has called our attention
to an article in the Metal Worker
IN, W, which gives the contrary
side of the prison labor question, as
presented in an editorial from the
New York Star, published in the
CHRONICLE. The Metal Worker says
that the stove trade has not been
injured by the employment of
penitentiary convicts under the
contract system as it prevails in the
State of New York. On the con-
trary it insists that it has steadily
improved and that laborers have not
been injured by the competition. 1t

CONGRESSIONAL DEBAUCHERY.

CONGRESSIONAL DEBAUCHERY.
Among the bills presented to the
Congressional committee, appointed
to audit the Garfield funeral ex-
penses, is one of S,245, incurred by
John G.. Thompson, sergeant
arms, as the expenses of a party of
Congressman who went from Wash
ington to Cleveland to attend the
funeral of the late President. The
committee reported in favor of the
payment of the bill, resolution to
that effect was unanimously adopted
by the House of Representatives.. on
the 4th day of February, and the
amount was Immediately paid to Dir.
Thompson
The vouchers for this large expen-
diture were examined and approved
by subcommittee of the special
committee. They were not pres
sented to the Clerk OF the House OF
Representatives, who has the &C
counting of the contingent fund, nor
have they been forwarded to the
Treasury Department. They are
still in the hands OF the committee,
where they are likely to
remain, unless called for by
the House, or unless public
opinion shall demand their publica-
ton. But the newspaper men, from
whom it is imposs BILE to conceal
anything, have been looking into the
matter, and have made some rather
startling disclosures. Among other
items going to make up this S8,245,
is one of $1,700 paid for champagne,
brandy, whisky, cigars and lunch,
$500 of which is charged to cock.

The members of Congress who
0ent from Washington to Cleveland
travelled on special train furnished
for the occasion by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, for which nothing was
charged. Those who had charge Of
the train were especially averse tc
carrying any Representatives of the
press along with them, and now
it is easily understood why. 1t is
reported that they INDUCED in {
shameless orgie, and with SLIGO

of such shameless conduct. A Con
gressional funeral, if reports are t.
be believed, is generally a Congress
sional debauch. 1t is made the oc
casion for drinking fine wines, whisk,
and brandy, and smoking fine cigar
at the public expense. The treasur.
is robbed to enable the representa-
tives OF the people to crafty thei
beastly appetites.
It was possible for members o
Congress to have voted for this ap
preparation, in ignorance of it's rea
character. But in view of the charge

UNWARRANTED AND BRUTAL.
That Is What the Irish Members Of

In Egypt.

That Is What the Irish Members Of
Parliament Consider England's Action
in Egypt.
BosToN, August ga London cor
respondent cab les the following: The
united opinion of the Irish members of
Parliament is that the proceedings Of
the English Government in Egypt are
most unwarranted and brutal. Par
nell, who has not taken his place in the
House since the death of his sister,
says: 'Present operations in Alexan-
dria are apparently the outgrowth of a
long series Of plans of Government
agents in the East. The trouble is
largely due to the overbearing inso.
lence of the Europeans for number
of years, and the final determination
Of the Egyptians no longer to submit
to the long life Of virtual robberies Of
the Egyptian treasury by European
officials, who are unnecessary to the
Government. 1t is difficult to tell
where or when the trouble will end.
Any hour is likely to produce compli-
cations involving half of Europe.
Healey says: The operations of
the Government in this affair will not
bear the slightest investigation. The
war was premeditated attack on
weak foe, and grew out Of the preju-
dices and bullyism Of Europeans in
Egypt. The bombardment of Alex
andria is the most infamous proceed
ing Oh record. Ii England should
arouse a serious general disturbance
the time will arrive for Ireland to de-
mand her rig! e., that will result in
securing home rule. Speaking Of the
adoption of measures of repression
similar to those of 1898, he said that
he did not believe that the Govern
ment dared go to that extreme now.
A repetition Of that slaughter must
move the American Government to
some form Of action. The worse
trouble in the East the better for Ire
land, which will not be slow to take
advantage OF its opportunities.
