the Senate District committee, he took a deep
interest in local affairs. To the democratic
party in Virginia Mr.. Barbour. like so many

brilliant man, he rendered valuable service for

The proyiso included by the House in the
liver and harbor bill. affecting the Potomac
flats was a most unreasonable one. The stipu-
lstiOn that no part of the 500. 900 appropriated
shall be expended until the suits now pending.
involving title shall be decided in favor Of the
government inserts a condition for which there
il no logical Justification. 1t is desirable that
the Potomac flats litigation shall be FASTENED
to a decision as promptly is consistent with
proper preparation of the case by the govern
ment and some unobjectionable provision could
doubtless be devised which would have this
effect. But the river front improvement ought
not to be made dependent upon the result of
this litigation. for it Is stated authoritatively
that decision adverse to the government will
mean only that the government shall pay dam
ages to the claimants. representing the value of
their land at u date prior to the beginning of
the improvement, when the lots were water lots
and confessedly almost worthless. Senator
Ransom, referring to an act passed by Con-
gress which made provision for protecting the
governments interest in the matter Of this leg
islation said in the Senate: The bill after pro-
viding that suit shall be brought to settle this
question against all parties claiming adversely
TO the United States, and after providing fully
70 nave lIG-c utits ectutu anu etttltu
promptly, contained this important provision:
That if any of these parties had any claim what
ever which could be established in court the
same court which determined their claim should
settle the amount of damages to which they
were entitled, and these damages were to be es-
timated as of the time when this improvement
commenced and not afterward. So then, what
ever may happen, whatever may come to pass, the
United States would only have to pay what would
be assessed damages for real estate that every
body knew was absolutely worthless before this
improvement was made. 1t is not improper,
furthermore. for me to say that it has been the
opinion of the Judiciary committee. it has been
the opinion of the Department of Justice, it has
been the opinion of the commissioner of public |
lands, and it has been the opinion and judgment |
of every legal mind that has looked into this |
question, that these adverse pretentions to the !
rights of the United States were absolutely |
without foundation" |

New Mexico democrats seem to be believers
in tine rule that two negatives are equivalent IN
an affirmative. They have declared for free
coinage and elected a Cleveland delegation to
Chicago. The difficulty in this case is not to
decide what the affirmative is thai the two
negatives declare. for it is patent that they
subordinate the issue to the man who is against
them on 1t, but to find in public opinion a
standing ground for themselves. party that
desires the nomination of an anti-free-coinage
candidate cannot be very much concerned
about free coinage as an absorbing issue.
