From an Ipdcncndep, view.

The savage comments of the press Of Ohio upon

upon him could hardly have been more severe II
he had pardoned Gutcau. Since when did 1t be-

The United States is indebted to thou
sands of individuals in unascertained
amounts Many of the claims are based
upon statutes already in existence and
only require adjustment. Others are of
various kinds many of them addressing
themselves to the justice and fairness Of
the Government. These claims are piled
up in the rooms of the Senate and House
Committees on Claims in such numbers
that the labor which it is possible for
those committees to devote to them is
not likely to make any considerable re-
duction in them. Indeed, it may be
doubted whether the number does not
increase much faster than bills can be
considered and disposed Of At each
session the old claimants haunt the corri-
dors of the Capitol and the cheap board
ing-houses of the city, while u new crowd
advances, with hopeful smiles, expecting
to get through in a week or two, with
their money in hand.
The rooms of ofCongressmena are besieged
by these claimants, to the interruption of
other business, and once week the
House Of Representatives attacks the
private calendar. And here is the field
where demagogism thrives. The
Watchdog of the Treasury" is no re-
specter of persons. To him just and un-
just claims are all the same. Conscious
that the public eyeis upon him, he barks
and growls, and snaps and snarls, SEEM
ing to think that if he has succeeded in
aiding the Government to rob an indi-
vidual he has earned rs much public APP
plause as if he had prevented an indi-
vidual from robbing the Government.
This class Of statesmen is not numerous,
but there are enough to defeat justice in
most cases. It is not advocating doubt
full claims TO say that a claim in itself is
not necessarily an attempt to steal; nor
is it favorng thieving claimants to say
that debt honestly due from the Gov.
ernment does not necessarily make the
creditor q sCoundrel.

Mn. Lowen on the Coercion Act

Mr.. Lowell, United States Minister, re-
splying to an application made on behalf
Aof American citizens arrested in Ireland,
says:
The coercion act is contrary to the spirit and
dOuudatiOn Of the principles Of both English and
american jurisprudence, but is the law Of the
land, and controls all persons domiciled in the
proclaimed districts of Ireland, whether British
subjects or not, 1t is manifestly futile 10 claim
that naturalized citizens of the United States
should be exempted from the operation ofthe act.
But how about American citizens who
are not "domiciled in Ireland at all, but
only visiting that country, as English
men are permitted safely TO visit the
United States? The word " domicie" is
defined to mean ga residence at a particu-
lar place, with positive OF presumptiye
proof of an intention TO remain there
for an unlimited time in short, only
permanent residents are domiciled. The
coercion act suspends the writ Of
habeas corpus in certain specified locali-
ties in Ireland. The question is whether
il is 2 friendly response for the English
government 10 make 10 our Minister
who asks upon what charges one Of our
Citi2ons is imprisoned, TO tell him that
England is not answering such questions
IL her own subjects just now, and
that therefore she will not tell upon
what grounds she buries our citizens
alive in British Jail, Where is the hot
blood that 80 boiled at the arrest of Cal
deron, the Peruvian, that it demanded q
suspension of diplomatic relations with
Chill for making the arrest? Who're was

fusal Of England TO make a civil answer

Treatment of American citizens in that

Saws the New York Sun:

legislative body is not the proper tribunal for
transactng this kind OF business. After long ex-
pcricnce New York found this out, and established
board ofaudt for determining this class of ques.
tions This board Is guided In It's decisions by the
ordinary rules Of law, and neither the board, nor
the Legislature nor any officer can allow or pay
any claim which MS between citizens of the State,
would be barred by lapse of time.
The 'SVi suggests that the Court of
Claims should be given jurisdiction over
all private claims. But if Congress,
through its committees, cannot hear
claimants as fast as claims are presented,
how can one small tribunal do any better?
1t seems to us that courts of claims should
be established in the several judicial cir
cults, or perhaps in districts, so that
claimants and their witnesses may be
spared long journeys, justice be no longer
delayed, and the Government be pro-
teCted from chance decisions by over
worked committees. There are now
more than three thousand claims be-
fore the House Committee on Claims.
For Congress to make no effort toward
their examination and adjustment is
worse than repudiation, so far as the Just
claims are concerned, for by delay claim
ants are brought and kept here session
after session, whereas if they could have
their claims repudiated out and out they
might turn their attention to something
more profitable than seeking their own
from the most fastidious, debt-paying
Nation in the world-when the debt
is in the form of an interest-bearing bond.
