A BIG SCHEME.
over Six Thousand Claims Filed by
Agents.

A Washington special says: Tremen-
dous pressure is being eXerted by certain
Washington claim agents to induce the
Postmaster General to adjust and pay at
once some $1,000 claims of Postmasters
and ex-Postmasters on account of sala-
ries for period of ten years or more, be-
ginning with 1864. One claim agent has
already filed 400 of these claims, and
saws that he has about 5000 more cases to
present. The whole number of claims
filed to the present time is $500. The total
amount of the claims no man can esti-
mate.
When Proctor Knott put the bill through
the House under the gag rule, he said
they would aggregate less than $500. 600,
while Mr.. Belmont, who had given the
matter more attention, estimated the
amount at $2,000,000 The bill was put
through the Senate under whip and spur
in the expiring hours of the last Congress,
without debate. The Post Office Depart
ment has fought the claims vigorously
from the beginning, the officials holding
that the act of 1864. as amended by that of
1866, had been fairly executed by the
department according to its true intent.
Ten or twelve years ago Wash
ingtOn claim gent conceived the idea
that there was a chance for him to make
some money out of the POstmasters,
Defeated in the courts, he appealed to
Congress, and by the most persistent
lobbying has, as he says in a circular
which he is now sending to claimants,
removed the statute OF limitations and all
other distractions to the payment of such
claims" After warning claimants
against other claim agents, he continues:
1T would be folly to write to Judge
asking judgment against an
adverse party, while emitting all the
proceedings necessary to obtain judg-
ment in his court. 1t is equally folly
to write to the department for
additional pay, while emitting all the pro-
ceedings necessary to obtain readjust-
ment Of salary under the 'Spalding act
Send me power of attO@ney and leave all
else to me. / will state and file your
claim and press it to settlement, giving
YOU no trouble nor expense whatever and
in no way disturbing your friendly rela-
tions with the department. You Will then
get your money and pay me for all my
wears of labor in this behalf by handing
over to me one-fourth the amount l col
lect.'
For the last three months General
Gresham has been giving the subject care
full consideration, but has failed thus far
to cOnstrue the law in a manner salts
factory to the claim agents, who are striv-
ing to uphold the cause of justice for
contingent fee of % per cent. plus any lit
tie assessments they may be able TO col
lpct from claimants

The truth is, the respectable cOlored
people Of Virginia applaud the Democrat c
policy OF separate public schools for the
two races. because. with a keener scent
for wisdom than their pretended allies
affect. they realize that mixed institutions
in the South cripple education both men,
tally and morally. Let the selfrespecting
col0red people of Virginia demonstrate
their superiority of Judgment and illus
trate that they abominate shackles for
the mind and chains for personal political
liberty quite a. much as they dreaded
physical slavery. 1t will point lesson
for the subiugated and enslayed whites.

Meakness of the Working1nen,s Posltion

The testimony given by workingmen be-
fore the Senate Committee on Labor places
in a strong light the weakness of their
position. While fully conscious Of griev-
aGces and wrongs, and believing that they
may be redressed. they yet appear TO be
unable TO suggest a remedy which will be
effective Even the men they regard as
leaders seem to be as much at sea, and,
while striking wildly for a cure, are apt
to fasten upon plan that would not only
bring no relief. but would produce posi-
tive injury.

A Pertinent Question.
III -


Somebody asks why it is that govern
ment employees should have thirty days
vacation in a year-One-twelfth Of their
time-under full pay. 1t can't be because
they are harder worked or poorer paid
than persons in private employ. for the re-
verse Is the fact. Perhaps it is because
they are paid out Of taxes.

Gen. Jubal Early has written letter to

and that, on another occasion, he found a
baby in "a log cabin which had been de-
serted by the owners to avoid the fire Of
the contending armies. These stories, he
saws. are purely imaginative or are the
work Of an impOstOr. General Early SAYS
that in a book published by O'DOnoyan
Rosa some years ago he finds that the

The testimony Of Mr.. Henry George be-
fore the Labor and Education Committee
on the 22d inst. was in the line of reason
ing brought forward recently in his re-
markable book on social and political
economy. and which has attracted so
much attention in England. He calls our
attention to questions that we are dis
posed to ignore during the growth and eX-
pansiOn Of the commonwealth, but which
must inevitably come up for decision
when the social and political ele-
ments of our government shall have
reached the destined point of disin-
tegration or accretion. In his conclusion
he offers what he believes to be a panaeea
for national discOrd. and Balm of Gilead
for the wounds and bruises of the labor
ing classes in the long conflict between
labor and capital, or, as ne prefers to ex-
press il. between labor and monopoly
Conceiving the great obstacle to harmony
between these forces to consist in the in
dividual ownership Of land, thereby Gre
ating mOnOpolies, he can but regard meas
ures Of relief not devised at the root Of
the evil, as temporary Only-calculatedt to
intensity rather than to modify a contest
that must inevitably continue with more
or less warmth while our present views
Of political economy remain unchanged.

torn bill IN payment for a ticket. The

boarded the train, and when the cOnduc-
tor called for his ticket rendered the bill.
The conductor refused to receive ii except
at discount Of per cent. Mr.. Hall de-
clined to submit to the discount, and he
was put of the train. He has brought
suit for $4,000 damages. The bill, it is
said. was good. 1t was only slightly torn.
