labor question, Mr.. ONsill and his committee
can think Of no better way Of ameliorating the
condition of the working classes than to attempt
to relieve that class of working peonle who least
OF all need relief-government employees In
stead of rously considering the interests of
the great body of wage workers. they have
brought their feeble intellects, and their small
powers of persuasion, and their demagogical tai
ents TO bear on the question of reducing the CON-
parativeiy short hours of labor and increasing
the already good wages of government employees
TIE Influences of this line of action are obvious
Among the class they seek to benefit are thou
sands of men whose influence about election
time is of much more value to these designing
congressman than the gratitude of dozen times
as many poor laborers or poor seamstresses, and
outweighs in Importance to them the suffering
existent to-day among the working classes.
There is high old row in the committee. As
this committee Is supposed to be the most closely
watched of any by the ''toiling masses every
demagogue in the House wanted to be assigned
to it, and there were more applicants for this
committee to the Speaker than for any other in
the House, about sixty statesmen thinking that
they could make some political capital there
Every one Of the thirteen members who drew the
prize has introduced set of bills on the hour
question, prohibiting convict labor, and embody-
ing other features of the Knights of Labor plat
form. and each insists that his particular bill
shall be reported by tie committee The chair
man, Mr.. O'Nei of st. Louis, says that reports
will be made upon all of the subjects referred to
the committee, but that none Of the pending
bills will be adopted owing to the jealousies of
the members. A new bill, embodying the main
features of each, will be prepared rs the only
means of promoting harmony, and every man
can claim it as his own.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

Ali Legislation Looking Toward Reciprocal
Relations Likely TO Fail.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-"I am convinced, y
said member of the House foreign affairs COM
mittee, to-day, that any attempt to pass the
Mexican treaty bill through the House will be
futile. / am satisfied from my investigations
that good working majority is opposed to any
reciprocity measures at present and it will be,
therefore, waste of time to try to get the
Mexican treaty on its feet through the passage
of an enabling act There seems to be dispo-
sition on the part t. of Democratic members to
legslate upon the tariff solely through some bill
which shall emanate from tho ways and means
committee, and in which the administration shall
have no hand"
What are the prospects of the passage of a
resolution calling upon the President to enter
into negotiations with Great Britain for re-
newal of reciprocity relations with Canada?n
asked your correspondent.
There are no prospects, replied the member.
II do not think that, from the temper of the
House at present, l said before. any
measure looking toward reciprocal relations with
any of the countries surrounding US will meet
with the approval of the House at this time"

General sigel Correcss a Report.

TO the Editor of the Commercial Advertiser:
Sir-The report in your issue of Jan. Is reia-
tive TO the Halleck controversy, in which / am
quoted as saying: II have read the charges
against General Halleck. and do not believe
them; Halleck was incapable OF such infamy. >, il
not correct What really said and wrote down
with my own hand was this: Il do not kno.i
anything about that (meaning the supposed
treachery of General Halleek.) II DO not be-
lieve that he could have gone down to such a
depth of infamy' In making this correction
which | hope viii find place in your valuable
paper, desire to guard myself against the sup
position of being party in the interests of Gem
eral Halleck. who. during the war. did every
thing he could against me. Nevertheless, can
not understand what advantage ne would derive
from allowing Early TO take possession Of Wash
ington, unless he tHalleck1 was in collision
with, and in the service Of, the Southern Confed-
eracy. f. SIGRL.

The Court OF Claims Decides a Long Pending
Case Against the Government
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 25-The Court of Claims
to-day decided the case of the Choctaw Nation
against the United States, and rendered judg-
ment in favor of the Nation for 1886, Cos. This
case was sent to the Court of Claims by an act of
Congress. of March 3, 1881, providing for the
ascertainment of the amount due the Choctaw
Nation" The claim results from the violation
by the United States of certain treaties entered
into with the Choctaw Nation in 1880, 1855 and
1866. The principal subject of contention re-
suited from the failure of the United
States to secure to the Choctaws, in
severa.ty, the lands which the United
States guaranteed to them by the treaty
of 1880. They did not receive these lands, but
they were sold by the United States in violation
OF the terms of the treaty. and the amount re-
ceived from the sale thereof paid into the
Treasury more than fifty years ago. In 1859,
the Senate of the United States, under the au-
thority of the treaty of 1855, awarded to the
Choctaws, on account of these losses. So 9Sl, 0O0

have been made by committees of both houses
of Congress. The Court of Claims now holds
that the award of the Senate in favor of the
Choctaws was set aside because that nation
availed itself of the provisions of the act of
1856. In announcing the decision, the court de-
clared it to be the most important case it had
ever been called upon to decide. The case will
now go to the Supreme Court upon appeal by
both sides.
