by Its reports TO Congress during the last FIVE
years 1t appears that the Court Of Claims has dock
eted 74ls cases, of which 57l were tried and judg-
ments entered upon them; 3,5i3 were dis
missed for default, 1922 on motion of claim
ant, 1889 by consent of claimant, 673 for
want Of Jurisdiction, making total dismissed OF
6SI7 cases without trial. of these dismissals ,1ss
were single batch of posmasters' cases disposed
of by n single order. one other decision dis.
missed G73 cases for want of Jurisdiction; another
decision settled 02 eight hour law cases, and l5l
judgments were entered up on the atlrma-
ton by the Supreme Court in regard to
pensions of inmates Of the Soldiers Home. "BOiled
down." then, 1t seems that this court really tried
in five years i20 cases, the judgments given IN the
15l others having been entered up on the trial of
single case. At this rate the court would possibly
get through with the twenty thousand or more
cases II Is now proposed to transfer TO 1t from the
Quartermasters and Commissary departments in
twelve years. But as there are no class cases
among these claims, but each one must be tried
and determined upon its own evidence and merits,
/ follows that the court would be occupied two
hundred years. at the rate of420 to 500 in each FIVE

A Forcyone conclusion.

It was forcgone conclusion that Chalmers, the
impudcnt claimant of II seat in Congress from the
Sixth (or "Shoestring') District of Mississippi
should be ousted whenever his case should come
to a vote The Committee on Elections decided in
favor Of Lynch, the contestant, yesterday, by n
vote oflO to 2. And when the matter comes up in
the House 1t is very doubtful if there can be found
n solid Democratic support for Chalmers Tho
case of this man Is simply infamous. The laws of
Mississippi forbid the imprint of any distinguish
ing marks" upon II ballot The ballots east foI
Lynch bore, under the subdivisions of the ticket
printers daShes, such rs are commonly used IN
all printed matter. The election officers held that
these were distinguishing marks within the
meaning Of the law, and 50 threw out the bahnts
Even rejecting these, Lynch had clear majority
of SOC; counting these, he had over 5000 majority
But the Complaisant Democratic authorities gave
the election TO Chalmers, who pretcnds to have
been chosen by more than 1900 majority ovcl

The Cabinet Nominations.

The country will approve the nomina-
tions for the Cabinet sent to the Senate
yesterday. .
Senator Teller is eminently fitted for
the Interior Department by his expe-
rience and knowledge in Indian affairs
and land questions. He is prudent with
out timidity, partisan without bigotry,
and on all public questions has been
faithful to his convictions of right.
There is no more upright man in public
life. The West will feel especially graft
fed with the selection of one Of its own
best representative men for place at the
council board of the President. The Sem
ate will regret the loss it sustains of a
most worthy member.
The nomination Of Hon. William f..
Chandler for the Navy Department
brings to the Cabinet one Of the ablest
leaders of the Republican party and to
the public service a man of clear head,
excellent business training superior en-
ecutive talent, and unquestioned integ-
rity. lie is everywhere respected
and trusted by friends and foes
associates and opponents, for the reason
that his position is never doubtful one
The Republican party owes much to his
splendid energy and organizing capacity,
which have ever been heartily enlisted
for Liberty and Right, whoever else fall
tered. We rejoice at the promotion of
this foremost New England Stalwart. He
will be found old enough for council and
young enough for war.

IT would be both cheerful and en-
couraging to observe once or twice in q
decade some faint showing of an inspira-
tion or motive in the Democratic mind
higher than mere party capital. When
great questions arise on the decision of
which the most important interests, ma
terial, moral, or social, are dependent, it
is rather melancholy to see the leaders
and organs of great party intent only
on so handling it as to make few votes,
and ready always to cater to any low or
vile clement in the community if by so
doing they may hope to increase the ag-
gregate of Democratic ballots at the next
election.
