State Claims.

The question of State claims against
the Federal government is again brought
To notice by the report of the Third Au-
ditor of the Treasury in response To
resolution adopted by the Senate last
July. The resolution authorized the
Secretary of the Treasury To ascertain
what amounts were due to several States
and the CITY of Baltimore on account of
advances and expenditures made by
them in the War of 1912. 1t provided
that the estimate should be made on the
principle established 10y the settlement
of the Maryland claim.
The Maryland claim was adjusted on
the payment Of principal and simple IN

was in defalt for n year, or part of a

Largest Carworks in The UniOn.

4 Milwaukee dispatch says 1t Is
stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad
people will build the most extensive car
works in the United States in the Chase
Valley, on portion of the original Nun
nemacher farm, the property recently
purchased. Although they refuse to
talk about the matter, the facts about
the great enterprise are becoming known,
and it Is said the tenants OF the land
have been notified to vacate by May /,
1891. and the construction of the I'M
mense works will he pushed as rapidly
"a possible thereafter.
The company will commence with
capital of $500. 900, of which between
$500. 600 and 5000, 900 has been sub
scribed. By many it ia thought that
the enterprise may result in the Penn

A Jndge i'm a Quandary.

DETROIT, December 2S.-Legal circles
have been excited the past week over the
trial of habeas corpus case for the pos
session of 14-year-old girl called Annie
Duggan The child was in the poses
sion of Mrs. John Mundary, who swore
it was her daughter, while Mrs. Annie
Moran, who also swore that she was the
mother of the child, wanted possession.
Each side produced a cloud of witnesses,
including nurses, who had been present
at the birth, doctors who had attended
child like Annie in babybood, and pho
tographers who brought negatives of the
girls picture as child, into court and
identified the child as the one by mole
on the forehead which was shown in
both negatives The evidence WAS the
most conflicting on all points, the de
fence producing rs perfect claim as
the plaintiff.
Judge Hosmer, before whom the case
was tried, was in q quandary and resort
ed to all kinds of schemes to help him,
| but none of them worked. In summing
up the case the Judge said he had never
| heard of case since Solomon'S time
where two women were so positive OF be-
ing the mother of one child. He lacked
the autocratic power Of using the sword
test, but should allow the child to stay
| with Mrs. Mundary. Mrs. Moran
weakened her case by claiming the child
as illegimate and the judge rather dis
liked to decide in her favor. The cas-,
will be taken to the supreme court.

\ DISPATCH from Washington on
SAYS Among the few mem
bers congrcgated in the chamber of the
House to-day, after that body had adj
journed, the fate of the election bill was
a fruitful topic of conversation. Many
of the leading Republicans were
sanguine of the bill being enacted into
a law. but some were less confident of
il being placed upon the statue books
one prominent Republican said, in con-
versation
IF the bill comes from the Senate in
an amended form its doom is sealed.
In fact. believe it is already dead, as
do not think it will pass the Senate,
Even should it pass it cannot run the
! gauntlet of the House unless there
is Republican quorum present and II
| is almost impossible to secure one at the
present session. OF course, we might
call IL caucus and by making the bill ar
| imperative party measure, obtain tho
presence of the abSentees, but | hardly
think this course will be followed. l.
the Democrats persist in absentlnl
themselves, SO as to prevent the count
! ing of Il quorum, We are almost help
| less.
The Democratic course will be one o
obstruction should the bill come from
the Senate Every bill upon the Speak
ers table having precedence to the elec
tions bill will be used to obstruct tn
consideration of that measure.

Herald is the embodiment of all that Is

cause another civil war, may leave on

that section to something worse than
the original chaos, may light up our
wintrv darkness with the flames of burn

Republican party can thereby be saved
and the denomination of Harrison assur
ed, such sacrifice will be regarded as {
mere bagatelle.

A PENSION problem has arisen under
the new pension law Of last June. The
act grants pension to soldiers who served
90 davs and are now disabled from earn
ing support, provided they were hon
orably discharged. The officials of the
Pension Office were of the opinion that
the act of June 27, 1890, did not include
soldiers who had been in the Confeder-
ate service and afterward enlisted in the
Union army, as the act is silent in re-
gard to this class of pensioners, neither
does it repeal section 41,716, or wind
up with the usual saving clause, ''all
acts and parts of acts inconsistent with
this act are hereby repealed The
question was referred to the assistant
Secretary, who decides that claimants
who served in the Confederate army,
prior to enlistment in the United States
| service. are entitled under the act and
are placed on the same footing as al
other Union soldiers. Some of the OH
cial minds of the Pension Bureau are
| bothered to know what to do with those
| that were wounded, or contracted disa
bilities while in the Confederate service
| The only restriction that the act make'
is that the disabilities must not be th'
result of the Soldier own vicious habits

AbOut Il Legislative Manager

There is an amusing controversy go
;np ON as To who shall manage the Leg
islature during the coming session.
Chairman Andrews Is understood TO
have sicnified his intention of playing
the role of Legislative manager. This
has caused protest from some who
think that Chairman Andrews IN the re
cent campaign demonstrated his entire
inability to manage anything From
this comes n suggestion that State Treas
urer Bower he made manager, a. he mas
il in his power to hold back the salary OF
of anv member of either House who
shall refuse to he managed, and Is there
fore in a position to manage to some
! purpose.
From no source has the suggestion
been made that the Legislature he left
! TO manage itself This Is not as surprls-
| ing ~ il might appear. conSiierin" me
| class of men who usually compose that
| BODY. They are not chosen with any
| idea that they will manage Themselves
Most of them are selected solely because
| they are willing to be managed. III by
any chance they were left to manage
themselves they would probably score u
failure. Hence this talk about Legls-
lative manager Is the most natural thing
in the world. The ordinary Pennsylva,
mia Legislature without manager would
be in much the same predlcament as i
ship without a pilot.
One cannot help thinking that the
! public interests of Pennsylvania might
he better served if Legislature were
chosen that could manage itself. The
ordinary Legislative manager does no
usually manage for the public. H'
manages for himself or for some strong
er power of which he is the agent. Bu
il is of no use to moralize about wha
might be. The present Legislature wa
elected to he managed, and managed 4
will be by somebody. Whether tina
somebody be Chairman Andrews o.
Treasurer Boyer. or some one else, L
only a question between would-be man
ayers. Neither of the proposed mana
gers will take any particular interest II
the public, and the public will TAX
quite As little in who shall be manager
When the Pennsylvania voters reaci
the point at which they take any rea
interest in the matters they will &c
along without Legislative managers, hu
but there is no immediate prospect tina
they contemplate new departure ol
the suliect-PTid. Times.
