Mr.. Call Expresses Himself ia OppOsi-
tion to Claim Agents.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Among the
bills introduced in the Senate to-day was
one by Mr.. Call, at the request, he said,
OF the Governor of Florida, to authorize
the Secretary OF the Treasury to settle
and pay the claim OF the State Of Florida
on account of expenditures made in sup
pressing Indian hostilities. Introducing
lhe bill, MIR. Cali said that a slmiluv bill
mad been before the fOrty-eIgbth Congress,
but at the request oil the then Governor OF
Florida was allowed to remain uuacted
on, because a Washington claim agent
named Wales claimed commissions
amounting to $4,000 for services"
in connection with it. As the
amount Of cash allowed by Con-
gress was only $4,000, there would
he but little of the money LETT after paying
the commission. Mr.. Call regarded il as
2 reflection on the members Of the Senate
and House that money should be paid or
contracted to be paid for services never
rendered in connection with legislation,
while soldiers who had rendered hard sell
vice to the State, and widows and orphans
OF such soldiers, went unpaid and unprO-
yided for
Under any circumstances he regarded
1t as public scandal that this vast sum
OF money should be paid to lawyers, or
pretended lawyers. or agents for votes 10
he given 10 Congress. The idea Of paying
S62, $50 out of the states claim of ~. 900
seould receive public condemnation, and
My. Gan desired, from mis- place in the
senate, 20 give public expression 10 this
opinion. There were no services TO he
rendered, Nj. Call SAID, in connection
with SUCH a bill Tue question involved
was one well settled by the history Of the
country. aud legislation on 1t was moth
ing new. He believed, however that the
government Of the United States should
naY the Inlorest ON LIE claim Of the State.

IN making their report to the President the Dis
trict Commissioners failed to refer to the claims of
our citizens whose real estate property was dam
aged and in many cases ruined, by changes in the
grade OF Streets etc, in prosecuting the comprehen
sive system of public improvements under the late
Board of Public Works and the Commissioners of
the District. portion Of these sufferers obtained
redress through Board Of Audit created under au-
thorty Of an act OF Congress passed June 90, 1874,
but a large portion have never even had a hearing.
Some have lost their homes by reason OF excessive
assessments, others have morigaged their property
to pay the same, while all are still suffering In con-
sequence ofdamage done their property, for which
damages they have been taxed to pay. Unreason-
able this may appear, it is nevertheless fact, and
while the taxpayers Of the District favor an equ
table adjustment and payment of these claims II Is
surprising that the Commissioners should have g-
nored their existence In referring to the important
measures Of the District requiring Congressional
action. The former Board Of Commissioners, with
a single exception, in their oflcial reports recOg-
nized the merits Of these claims and recommended
their payment Bills are pending in Congress tsen-
ate No. 2li3 and II. II. 9i5G) which provide for a
hearing in the of all these claimants which II
passed, as they should be- will give them fair and

these bills, and denial OF their request would sig
Nifty an unwlllngness to do them simple justice.

the English socialist, said at Abners Hall Thursday
evening that there are thousands of women In

She did not add that there are thousands of deli

to get help at any price. though 1t be matter of life

IT is not surprising that Rev. Dr. McGlynn, Of st.
Stephens, has been summoned TO Rome to explain
himself. Hisreported utterances lately have been
such as to put him apparently outside the fo.d, not
only OF the Catholic, but of any Christian church.
1t would be easier TO forgive him II his wildness
was caused by an excess of sympathy for human
suffering, but 1t seems only too likely that his head
has been turned by the real or assumed possession
Of great political power and the ability to "nop" the
big "solid vote' of st. Stephens parish away from
Democracy, to Blaine or George as he might elect.

THE proposition TO pay the remaining balance due
