FRENCH sPoILATIoN.

Congress has finally passed Il bill
referring the French spoilation
claims to the Court of claims for
adjustment These claims grew
out of depredations by the French
on American shipping previous to
l79S, when a brief period of war
occurred between France and this
country. American citizens whose
property had been destroyed, long
besieged the French Government
tor remuneration, and 1t was de-
nicd that these claims were Just.
and France alleged that the United
States had also caused damage to
French citizens, which should be
paid. or payment promised, before
they would make payment to de.
Snoiled American citizens. At
length. the United States and
France entered into treaty, bv
which the cl iim3 of the citizens of
the two nations were offset against
each other, the United States agree
ing tn satisfy the aims Of Ameri-
can citizens against France, and
France agreeing to satisfy the
clains of French citizens against
the United States. Having made
this agreement with France, the
Unite States never fulfilled it in
relation to it's own citizens. There
WAS, then, originally the highest
equity in the French spoilation
claims, but they have doubtless
wears ago mainly passed into the
hands of speculators, who bought
them for song. and who have no
equities in this case. Many years
ago claims against the government
to recover their money were filed,
and Il bill providing Tor their pay

Schuyler Colfax Of Indiana A

BORN in the city of New York in
1924. In 1886 he removed with a
widowed mother to South Bend.
Indiana, where he has ever since
resided In 1915 he became the
editor Of Wing paper. At 27
years OF age was Il delegate to the
Continental convention of Indiana.
Defeated in 1852, as Wing can
didste for Congress, he was tri-
umphantly elected in 1854, to a
seat which he retained until elect.
ed Vice President in 1865. His
great speech upon the conflict in
Kansas made in 1856 when he was
but 33 years OF age, gave him at
once a national reputation. In
1868 he was elected speaker of the
National House of Representatives
He was twice reelected speaker Of
the House, in 1865 and 1867. He
was one of the confidential advis-
ers of Lincoln, tower of strength
in the Republican conflict with
Johnson, the most decisive, the
most impartial, the most ready and
the most popular speaker since the
gavel was held by Henry Clay.
In the summer of 1872, thee redit
M"bilier investigation WAS afoot.
and an outraged public was seek
ing in its blind rage tor victims. To
be accused was then to be con-
demed, and Schuyler Culfax was
accused, and that bv men who had
been among the chief bencticiaries
"f the corrupt scheme. Not a par.
teal of Trustworthy proof was ever
offered of his guilt, but the public
servant upon whose life in public
and private, no stain Of dishonor
had ever rested, WAS stricken
down.
March 4th. 1869, he left the
chair of the Vice President, the
last official position which he ever
held. His necessities were the
best proof of his official honor.
From the hour Of his retirement,
Mr.. Colfax was compelled to labor
for living, And he died on his
way to labors from which oil age
and the ever present liability to
sudden death ought to have reliev-
ed him.
His life and death Illustrate the
sometimes capricious injustice Of
popular and p; ssiol.ate judgment
That Schuyler Colfax was cor
rupt, no sane man now believes.
But he died in poverty and neg
lected. Men who actually profit
ed by the Credit Mobiler frauds,
and universally known to have done
so, have since held verv high po-
sitions in public life, and men ac-
cused like him, have held the
highest.
Schuyler C,lfav was a gentle
man by nature, he was leader
and a statesman, equal to the du-
ties and the demands of our great
est and m st trying era. He was
a scholar, and he was more, an I'M

Christian. In the sorest days of
his undcsrrvcd humiliation, he
sought no revenge, though in
many cases, an exquisite revenge
was in his power. His heart was
tillel with bitterness toward no
man. Thankful that he might
labor for his family, he took up the
burden OF life. and patiently, cheer
fully and bravcly he bore it until
the end.

have had talks with teachers, and we are

increase of taxation, the State would in
two years have an additional taxation OF
about ST. 500 900. There are thousands OF
children in the country yet unprovided
with sch ,ol- to 60 to. and until they are
provided for no proposition for free books
