Indian Degradation Claims.

The Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday rendered it's first opinion in the In
dian depreciation claims, which are before
it in the shape of appeals from the Court
Of Claims. The case passed upon was
that of B. K. Johnson. who claims
to have lost property through depre-
dations Of the Utes OF Colorado and
Utah. and the opinion was handed down
by Justice Brewer. The opinion did not
enter into the abstract questions involved
in the cases, but the decision was rendered
against Johnson on the ground that he was
not a citizen of the United States at the
time the property was lost, which was held
to be a sufficient bar, Notwithstanding he
afterwards took out papers.

Wages Earned by Prisoners.

From the Chicago Record
One of the most characteristic features of
European prisons as a whole Is that prison.
ers are allowed to have a portion Of their
earnings, This system prevails in France,
Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Russia,
Sweden, Denmark and other countries. The
amount earned by the prisoner varies con-
siderably where it depends upon piece work.
In France, at the Maison Centrale at Melun,
the average salary Of the prison is 1 franc
Is centimes, or abouts thirty-five cents a
working day OF this amount the prisoner
is allowed to spend one=haff while in prison
for supplementary food and clothing, post
age etc, though no Expenditure is made
without the approval Of the administratio
The other half is reserved until the time of
his discharge three years prisoner has
to his credit on leaving an average Of $50;
a four years prisoner, $50, and five years
prisoner about $50. There is great danger
when q prisoner goes out that he will waste
his accumula tons unless they are properly
guarded. While in some countries the pris-
oner is left entirely freettn this matter, in
most countries the sum is,placed for him in
bank under charge Of some prisoners aid
society, or the mayor Of the town in which
he resides. In the Unified States the system
of giving prisoners portion Of their earn
ings has long been in vogue in the eastern
penitentiary, and exists tn Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
