"A New Claim Bureau.

The San Francisco Examiner has
established in Washington, D. c., a
bureau to be called Examiner Blu
Teau Of Claims" which will be of great
benefit to all persons having claims
against tho Government OF any IA
tyre whatsoever. The pension fees
chargeable by attorneys have for
some time been limited by law, and
under the recent act of March 3, 1891,
transferring the jurisdiction of Indian
Depreciation cases from the Interior
Department to the Court of Claims,
Congress, not only limited the fees,
but in order to check the rapacity of
the claim agents cancelled all exist
ing contracts and fee agreements be-
tween client and attorney. Congress
was led to take this action on account
OF facts brought to their notice that
by a combination among the leading
claim agents range Of fees from 33 4
to 81 per cent. had been established.
The vast mass of Government claims
are still unprotected by law.
Mr.. VIM. r. Hearst, SOB of the late
Senator Hearst, and the proprietor of
the Examiner, proposes to attend
through his new bureau to all classes
of cases before the departments
pensions, patents, depreciation claims
and Indian claims-for small per-
centage above the actual cost Of the
work.
He has engaged several competent
attorneys and the necessary clerical
force Of large bureau, and they will
soon be at work. He has placed at
the head of the bureau Mr.. John
Wedderburn, of this city, who has
long been the correspondent of the
Examiner, and had remarkable ex-
perience few years ago in ferreting
for Secretary Tracy some gigantic
contract frauds at the Mare Island
Navy Yard. The new bureau, being
established by responsible news
paper, has already received the cordial
endorsement of many Western mem-
bers of Congress, and is getting a big
pile Of mail from all sections Of the
country.

A FEW days ago we warned the
Democratic majority in the Legisla-

be put upon their general policy by
hostile newspapers. That we were
not mistaken is proven by the follow

state police to take charge OF our cities and
towns; state tax commissioners to inquire INTO
business; state water CON miSsioners to reEula'e
the drinking water: state license comntissionerS
to regulate other drinkahies; state prison Tor az
who desire TO retain home rule! How Would
that programme suit a Democrats legislature
Major Pangborn, whose Republican
ism seems to have been remarkably
braced up of late, thus comments on
the above:-
It would suit them exactly. provided all the
SHARES Of all the officials and uudsriings are
made as big as possibls and all the ~incumbents

to lose sight of is hat expressed in the
