REkpJUsTINa A FRAUDULENT CLAIM.

The Senate has passed the bill au-
thorizing the Court of Claims to investi-
gate and decide upon the validity of the
We'll and La Abra claims, and il the
House concurs the claims will be put in
the way of final adj ustment. They have
become notorious on account of the
fraud connected with them and the
length of time they have been pending.
In 1868 an agreement was made with
Mexico under which a commission was
organized to pass upon claims by citizens
OF each country against the other grow
ing cut of the Macmillan war. 1t is q
curious illustration of the eagerness with
which opportunities of this kind to make
money are embraced that there were
presented to the commission about two
thousand claims of United States citi-
zens against Mexico, aggregating more
than $500. 000. 900, while the claims
against the United States by Mexicans
amounted to $50, OO0, 900. Nearly all the
claims on both sides we're rejected by
the commission as absolutely false. The

Recent Statements Of Hon. David A. Wells
Shown to Be Grossly Erroneous.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Last autumn Hon. David A. Wells. Of
Norwich, Conn. contributed an elaborate
paper to a New York journal on the "Wool
Tariff and Disease" in which he asserted
that the death rate due to lung disease was
greater in this country than In Great
Britain. because our tariff on foreign wool
was driving our manufacturers to greater
use of cotton. shoddy. etc.. and less of wool
in the production of clothing, and that the
people in this country were therefore
driven to wearing mixed cotton fabrics.
while English people wore more wooden
goods. Mr. Wells boasted in q
special note that his paper was
''one of the most valuable contributions
be had lever made to tariff literature and
experience" This paper of Mr.. Wells has
been rehashed. revamped and triumpbantly
commented upon by many free-trade pa
pcrs ever SINCE it's publication. II bis
statements had been true he could right
fully have boasted of this contribution.
But. high as he etands in the estlmation OF
many IN his economic and statistical in
quiry and discussion, the facts are of still
higher authority, and are wholly against
him. 1t is strange that one so bonstful of
his footing should fall so fatally into error

THE committee of the Chicago Board
of Trade has given the country some
new information regarding trade in
"wind" wheat and other options. They
confess that prices are hammered down
by what they are pleased to call gam
bling in grain" but it is not done in the
exchanges, but in the very, very wicked
bucket-shops. Now the public knows
it all. The reports of weak markets in
Europe. of wheat export from Russia,
and of such matters as no val with Chill,
are not really the causes which depress
the prices in the wheat pits, but the bet
tors and the gamblers in the bucket
shops--the fellows who put up So, $40,
and once in a while S25. on a wheat
price-these are the people who make
the prices for the large dealers in the
exchanges! The bucket-shops, and not
the "bears." fatten prices, and now the

against Mexico was S4,125,6 22. and to
citizens of Mexico against the United
States S150,498. Among the claims al-
lowed against Mexico was that of Benja-
min We'll, for the alleged loss of
cotton and mules, and that of the La
Abra Company for the alleged loss of
a silver mine. These claims were duly
substantiated before the commission
and were supposed to be just. A few
years later, however, it was discovered
that both claims were unquestionably
fraudulent and that not q dollar should
have been paid on them. This discov-
cry was made during President Hayes's
administration. Meanwhile, Mexico had
paid the amount of the two awards and
part of the money had been distributed.
President Hayes was SO we'll convinced
that the claims were fraudulent that he
stopped further distribution of the
money by the State Department and
laid the facts before Congress. The
matter has been pending about tvelve
years, the lobbyists, agents and repre-
sentatives of the claims being able to
prevent Congress from taking any def
mite action. Meanwhile, there is $780,
$40 o in the treasury, the undistribu-
ted balance of the La Abra claim. As it
is now conceded that the claim was
fraudulent and the award unjustly paid
by Mexico. this money ought, of course,
to be returned. The Senate voted,
nearly unanimously, to submit the mat
ter to the Court of Claims, while those
Senators who voted against that propo-
sition did 80 because they thought the
money should be returned to Mexico
without any further delay. If the House
does not concur with the Senate in this
disposition of the matter it will be be-
cause the lobbyists and agents of the
claim, who still hope to get the money,
are able to prevent such action.
