Why. then. Is It not sufficient to secure 0
decision OF the Court OF Claims in each case.
and collect the amount awarded from the
Treasury Department Tho answer Is that
| this court is not entitled to award compen.
satlon. under Its general Jurisdiction. for
sums which have matured moro than six
years before the appeal made to It. In the
case. for example. OF Capt. WATSON. already
spoken Of the award to him was only about
sl26. whereas he had asked for s2,6ll; so
thnt all but twentieth OF his claim was
barred by the statute. 1t was therefore
palpable that recourse must be had to the
Treasury Department for the remainder.
But that department. rs has been seen.
considers itself restricted. by existing laws.
from doing an act OF palpable justice. And
1t Is hardly fair to criticise Its officers. as
has sometimes been done. on the ground
that they are straining q construction OF
law for the purpose OF depriving army Of
flcers Of their dues. The money to DO paid
out Is not theirs so that they will be neither
richer nor poorer for the result. On the
other hand. the proper temper for the
Treasury official is that OF vigilant guar
dlanship OF the public funds under the
strictest construction Of the statutes In re-
gard to paying them out. Even the rule
now demanding modification is based on
the obvious consideration that there must
be in public. as in private business. some
method OF complete and final settlement.
Otherwise the Treasury might be contin-
ually solicited to reopen accounts which
had perhaps required years for settlement.
and had been accepted as closed.
The proper body to apply to for relief Is
Congress- The original difficulty In the
present matter arose from the fact that the
longevity statutes were not 30 explicit ns
they might have been made. The subse-
quent difficulty as to the remedy arises
from a supposed lack OF authority under
which tho Treasury Department can act.
And 1t may still be q question whether
the wiser course would be to furnish q
specific remedy for the single case that IL
presented. or to enact a general law. as Is
proposed in the pending bill. There are |
obvious arguments for either method. but |
one or the other seems to be due. In the |
case OF the Pension Bureau. Secretary |
TK1LER once held that In any matter OF un. |
disputed mistake 1.-The department will not |
refuse to do justice because the error ia OF |
long standing and has been sanctioned by |
subsequent action" The Treasury Depart
ment does not admit that this rule holds
good In Its case. Still. the fact that GER
tain settlement was effected under mis-
take Of both the parties as to the law bear
ing on the case would seem ground enough
for the interference Of Congress.

The reports received from the cotton States

The reports received from the cotton States
put 1t beyond doubt that the cotton planting OF
this year has fallen short OF that OF last year. or
OF any other recent year. A mass OF informa-
t'on upon this subject is given In New
Orleans cotton circular. Eradstreers. after
making extensive Investigations. has come to
the conclusion that the crop Of this year will
be one-fith less than that Of last year. The
Charleston Ne,rs and Courier has just pub
lished reports from every county OF South
Carolina In regard to the reduction OF the
cotton acreage In that State. and these reports
show that the average reduction Is about 20
per cent In some parts OF the Gull States
that are not adapted to the growth OF grain.
the production OF cotton will be AS great as
everj but In at lenst five States the grain
acreage will be Increased prorortionately to
the lessening OF the cotton acreage. The
western farmers who have found u large
market for breadstufrs in the South. will not
be pleased with this news: but. as they are
farmers OF ingenious mind aud many re-
sources. they will certainly DO able to market
their crops somewhere.

Tho Treasury and tho Courts.

A bill Is pending In Congress whose object

should be needed to accomplish measure
Of such palpable justice. But under the
regulations OF the Treasury Department q

General has supported the department in
eais Wow OF its rights and duties. and hence
has arisen tho present appeal to Congress.
The case Immediately involved concerns

ON THE UNSEEN WORLD.
Lecture to the Theosophical Society on
the Spirits.

Lecture to the Theosophical Society on
the Spirits.
At the meeting of the Theosophical So
ciety, in the Halter block Yesterday after
noon, Mrs. F. I. Bodgett lectured on "Un-
seen Powers-Eementals, Dyhan-Cohans,
the Eiohim." The lecture was disquisi-
ton on the spiritual world from the theo-
sophie standpoint. The elements were
described as the terrestrial shadows from
which the earthly part is being gradually
separated and the psychic embryos which
have only an astral form and are neither
spirit nor matter, being just so I'M
substantial that they can't be seen
with human eyes. The four elements were
filled with demons, or nature spirits, and
instead of there being one unknown God
the cosmos was inhabited by millions of
creative spirits ruled by twelve command
ing spirits like the generals of an army,
and some of these spirits were friendly,
some hostile. to man. OF the seven truths,
or revelations, only four had been handed
to US, and so there were only four Buddhas.
There were then three more TO come to
reveal three more great truths.
In the course of the discussion which
followed. the members stated that Madame
Blavatsky was an initiate into the secret
truths. So was probably Jesus, and Bull
wer Lytton was near having the revela-
tions of an initiate.
