Ex-Minister Langston Awarded a Judgment
of $S,OO0 Against the Government.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. I3.-Jehn A. Langston, ex-
minister of the United States to the republic of
Hayti, has been awarded a judgment of about
IS, coo against the United States in the Court of
Claims. This Judgment grew out of the bad
habit which has grown up in Congress of only
half-legislating upon any subject 1t was deemed
advisable. a few years ago, to reduce the salary
of the minister to this American African repub-
lie, and Congress therefore appropriated only
enough money to pay the reduced amount.
Langston claimed that as the law fixed his com
pensation, and as that law was not amended, the
failure of Congress to appropriate a sufficient
sum 10 pay him was not enough. and that he was
entitled to the difference. The court sustained
his view,

There is always something horrifying about a

and trying must have been the troubles he has
passed through, and the hour before he commits
the awful deed it seems must be full of awful
thoughts and painful struggles, and so one pities
always the suicide. regret to state that there
is a police reporter on this paper who does not
share the usual sentiment on this terrible sub
ject.
There's a lot of rubbish in this sentiment"

so often over ludicrous things connected with at

What the Great English Temperance Agi-
tator Thinks of the Cause In America.
New York Mail and Express.
Mr.. William Noble. the English Temperance
lecturer, now en- route to Australia, was seen to-
day by a reporter. He said he had visited Amer
lea before, many years ago.
D you see any changes"
Yes, a great change, but mono for the better
as far as temperance is concerned. The temper
ance cause here has no system, no growing senti-
ment among the. rising generation. We do not
try to work through laws in England-it does
no good. Drinking in prohibition places win go
on all the same unless the sentiment of the
people is genuine. We work against the evil by
strong ORGANIZATIONS, which endeavor to educate
the rising generation among the lower and
middle classes. The National Temperan ce
League addresses itself to the upper
classes. In this latter many eminent and
even titled people have taken an active part.
But we have great odds to fight in England.
Where a glass of beer is considered as nutri-
ment, the same as bread, you can imagine how
hard 1t is. Then, too. brewers and distillers
give largely to churches, One of the largest
Episcopal churches was built with their money.
st. Patrick's Cathedral. in Dublin, was repaired
with their money. and so you see how they seek
to ingratiate themselves with institutions whose
sacred duty it is to fight their vile traffic.
ID you see any hopeful signs in America?"
Il see a remedy that will help the cause more
than legislation or local option. Let each State
organize a State juvenile temperance union and
have branches in each county. The doctors
should work, too, and organize. That is the only
way. The young people furnish the material to
work upon, for it will be their sentiment in a
few years that will rule the land. Some of the
most successful efforts In America, I hear. are
made by the women. Much depends upon them.

majority of senators that the Senate ought to

~specting the reasons for making removals. It
has been the habit of the Senate to call upon the
heads on departments for information of this
kind from the foundation OF the govern
ment. though it remains an open question
whether it can be demanded as q constitutional
right. None Of the committees have as yet re-
ported any instance of refusal on the part Of the
administration to furnish the information called
for, while on the other hand mahy responses to
inquiries in respect to particularscas have been
received There is consequently. as yet. no issue
between the administration and the Senate in
this regard. The subject was not discussed in
the Senate to-day. If the issue is ever squarely
made, it will probably be discussed with open
doors, and is not likely to be made a party ques-
ton.

A Vermont Man Secures Information Cor
corning a Southern

A Vermont Man Secures Con-
cernipg a Southern Product.
Atlanta Constitution.
Some years ago, when I was spending a little
time in a Vermont village, l was notified one
day that a farmer had come six miles In his
buggy to ask me a few questions about the
South. I was told that the man was very intel
iigent, and that he was a great reader OF books
and newspapers. but he had never gone beyond
the limits of his own State. and was naturally
anxious to meet a stranger from the far South.
AS l walked into the room where my visitor
awaited me, l hurriedly revolved in my mind a
mass of statistics concerning our lands, products,
climate, etc. After a few preliminary remarks
had been interchanged, l gently led the way to
the Southern subject.
well. yes, said the stranger, ST just thought
l would ride over, you know, to ask You a ques-
ton or two"
Iintimated my readiness to give such infor-
nation as | had.
The man turned uneasily in his chair, and
then, in a nervous manner. said:
"Fact of the business is, you see, L took a
notion. being as you are from Georgia, to ask
you to settle a point that I have had my doubts
about for several years"
"What is the nature of the matter?" I asked.
"Weli. it's this" was the hesitating reply; ''the
fact is, / want to know about this thing called a
'possum that I've been reading a lot of queer
stuff about. Now, sir. as a fair and square man,
1 put the question to you, point blank, is there
any such a thing as a 'possum?"
1t was impossible not to laugh. but when l saw
the panied expression on the mans face L
checked myself. [ told him all I knew about
'possums, not forgetting to incidentally throw in
a good word for Eaters" in that juicy connection
After answering all his questions about the ugly
little brute and his habits, I was utterly dunn
founded when my new acquaintance rose to his
feet and prepared to depart.
WAS there nothing else?" I inquired.
"Oh, no" was the reply. why. bless your
soul, sir. you don't know what good it has done
me to meet an intelligent man from distant
parts. / was determined to see you and get this
'possum matter settled. and as you have been
kind enough to fill me chuck full of it, I'll go
home and tell the old woman and the boys all
about it.'
He left, and l rushed off to ask my host if Ihad
beed entertaining & luuatic. But I met with no
sympathy. Everybods seemed to think it per-
fectly natural that / should be interviewed on
such a subject, and there was a disposition to
regard me as a flippant t%riler, who could not be
depended upon to impart geological information.

stopped: Thus far, five entire days have been
consumed in the House by the introduction of
bills for reference. At least two thirds of this
time might have been saved if all private bills
were placed in the petition box. If it is neces-
