the persistent rumors that its proprietor. Mr..

nomination for the presidency of the United
States. It refers to an editorial statement in
the Baltimore American, to the effect that Mr..

and that he would not decline cordial tender of
the nomination. In reply to this the Ledger
will say:
1T is necessary to say. courteously but decs-

Mr.. Chlds has changed his mind in the

Queer Claims.

PHILADELPHIA Telegraph.


Some queer claims get before Congress. For
example, great-grandniece OF Pulaski IS now in
Washington urging that the government pay
her the money which her great-granduncie gave
for the promotion of the struggle of the colonies
for their Independence. But queerer even than
this is the bill that was introduced in the Senate
yesterday to pay for the passage of General La
fayette and his family to the United States in
1924 The claim of the grandniece of Pulaski
is exriainable enough, although the equities OF
such claim are not so near being visible to the
naked eye it is desirable that they should be;
but the reason why the cost of bringing Lafay-
cite and his family to these shores in 1924, pro-
vided the government has any moral RESPONSE
bilities in this connection. has not been met
long ago by appropriation, seems TO need
good deal of explaining.
