NEW YORK, September H.-The Demo
cratic National Committee is receiving
large contributions from every quarter in
response to their circulars sent out last
Saturday for financial aid. Tne contribu-
tions are coming apparently almost as
soon ss the circulars are received in the re-
sp.ctive localities. To-day the first con-
tribution came from a. far west as Ohio
and they are still pouring in from New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Msssa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania. In 1884, SIM
liar circulars was ssnt out by the Demo
cratic National Committee and it met
with what was then considered very
high response. The circular this year,
however, has far met with responses
dozen times greater than that of 1884 and
to the managers Of the Democratic Com
mittee it was especially gratifying as it
shows great public interest in the re'elec-
tion Of the Democratic ticket.

More Absurdity.

To the Editor Of THE EvKSING STAR:
Equal Rightsfor All, in Wednesdays STAR,
referring to Mrs. Coles bay window, says; "She
has endeavored to get what few others have
been lucky enough to obtain, but what has
been denied to citizens generally If she holds
it she will be fortunate above the majority; if
she must finally give it up she has no Just
ground for complaint, since she knew she
stood in an exceptional position from the start,
and that any expenditures che made in conse-
quence were made at some risk"
How in IAN exceptional position and why
lat some risk?' She had full permission of
the city authorities to build as she is doing.
and what does it matter whether she stood in
IAN exceptional position or not? If the priv
ilege granted to her has ''been denied to citi-
zens generally" such denials probably have
been where, if granted, the privileges would
have seriously interfered with private rights.
Each case should be decided on It's own merits.
As truly remarked by Judge Merrick, "In this
case there is no obstruction of the highway, 4"
nor can it be shown that there will be any OBJ
struction of the view from any quarter justify
ing the least complaint. On the contrary. the
building will be handsome improvement to
Thomas circle. This writer talks as though he
thinks Mrs. Cole may finally have to give up
this Improvement. Who, pray, is going to
compel her to give it up? Has not this perse-
cution gone far enough? JUSTICE.

LAwYxHs WHO WANT MORE OF THE SCARE KEPT
By MR.. NIKE.
More papers have been filed in the Choctaw
claims litigation. In the case Of Henry s.
Mckee against Cochrane ct al.-bill of inter-
pleader as TO the per cent paid into court by
complainant from the amount recovered on
the Choctaw claim-several of the parties at
interest have filed answers. and recently Messrs.
Jno. A. Rollins and Jas. Gilfllan fled q cross
bill. Mckee claimed a contingent fee Of 80 per
cent under an agreement with the Choctaws,
but paid per cent into the registry to satisfy
the Cochrane claimants. Messrs. Rollins and
Gilfillan claim that the Indians had no right to
make any such agreement with Mckee, and
that he misrepresented the value of Cochrane's
services to the Choctaws. They say that they
rendered assistance to him as counsel, sup
posing that he was working under the Coch-
rane contract, and they knew nothing of his
subsequent contract until the case came into
the Court of Claims, when he objected to their
appearance as attorneys. They say that the
entire 30 per cent should be paid into court to
await distribution in satisfaction of claims of
all attorneys for services rendered, and asks
the court to adjust the rights Of all parties In
their opinion the Cochrane contract calls for at
least one-haH of the fund collected as attor-
neys' fees by Mckee.
