The John NJ. Palmer Club of colored demo-
Gratis was addressed last evening by Represent
alive Rreckinridge of Arkansas at wormley's
Hall. About twenty members were present
and listened to his exposition of the principles of
the equal rights party. The republicans were
arranging for their advocacy of class legislation
az illustrated by the Mckinley bill, and quoted
Abraham Lincoln on this question. They were
also accused Of using the colored people as cat
paws.
Breckenridge condemned the attempts of dema-
Rogues to range the colored people as a race on
the side Of the criminals who suffered at the
hands Of popular indignation. Really these
crimes and their punishment affected the col
ored people only as they did other law abiding
citizens and there could be no such thing as a
real race war;

In answer to resolution Commissioner
Raum reported to the House today that be-
tween July l, 1892. and January l. 1893, there
were S6.3l9 claims allowed under the
dependent pension act of 1890. 1t is not prac-
ticable to state the amount which has
been expended in the payment of the cases, for
the reason that no separate account has been
kept OF the amount paid in cases newly allowed
as distinguished from those already on the rolls.
The same reason makes it impracticable to state
the amount which will be expended during the
fiscal year on account of that act. No estimate
as TO the number Of cases which will be allowed
during the balance Of the presen. fiscal year
can be given.
