An Old Claim For Damages.

One of the oldest claims ever
made against the government was
disallowed yesterday by the con-
troler of the treasury on an appeal
from decision by the auditor of the
war department. The claimant.
whose name is withheld, wants the
government to pay for crops which
ripened while he was in the army,
aud which be, therefore, did not
have a chance to harvest. He fixes
the value of the crops at $23, 033 so.
The claimant lives in Colorado.
He enlisted in company G., third
Colorado cavalry, in August, 1864.
He says that he told the recruiting
officer he did not want to enlist be-
cause he would lose his crops, and
the officer said that would be all
right, and that he could have leave
of absence to harvest them. On this
promise the trusting warrior en-
listed. There was some unfinished
business still on hand with the
southern cOnfederacy when crops
ripened, and in spite of his appeals
his superiOrs thought he had better
stay in the army aud attend to il.
He says that as wheat, corn and
vegetables were unusually high at
that time this decision was a source
of great pain and annoyance to him.
The auditor holds that there is no
appropriation out of which tn pay
for the failure Of crops.-Washing-
ton telegram to the New York
Times.

critical rot. Take the supposed
profit out of it. and the movement

BIRD hunters have been somewhat
concerned over the game law, and
anxious to know whether the soft
cooling dove was "game" or not, as
the law forbids the killing of
game" birds. 1t was mOoted
question for a time, but the consen.
sus of legal opinion is that the dove
is not protected under the law; and
now as Judge Holding has donned
his hunting clothes and shOuldered
somebody else's gun, that seems to
be equivalent to a verdict of capital
punishment against the poor dove.

ALGER has at last vamoosed
He is thrown out by his chief, as a
sop to satisfy the discomfort over
the management of the war, which,
though still in progress, has been
declared to be closed. But Alger,
though there is little to be said in
his favor, is not nearly so much to
blame as Mckinley. For, in the
first place, Mckinley appointed
Alger; and Alger has no graver sin
to answer for than that. Then Nc
Kinley appointed the Strategy
Board to help Alger mismanage,
and followed that up by appointing
incompetents all down the line, so
that no man could have done much,
handicapped as the Secretary was.
1t is not AlgerIsm so much as Me-
Kinleyism that the country is tired
of and disguised with.

A MEMBER of the Second Oregon
Regiment, U. S. ", became enamOr-
ed of a Filipino beauty and deserted
to fight for her freedom. He was
wounded and captured, and some of
his late comrades Of the Second Or
egon, pillored him on their bayonets
and shot him to death; and one of
them, creature by the name of La
marsh, proudly boasts that 1--WE
would have treated him worse if we
had known how" Which, think
you, is the worse, the man who
"loved not wisely but too WELL" or
the murderers WIN butchered him?
The idea of such cruelty as that be-
ing perpetrated in the name and for
the sake of patriotism! There are
honorable exceptions, of course, but
the plain truth of the matter is that
there is large sprinkling of tramps,
cut-throats and toughs in the ranks
of the United States Volunteer Army.

BROS,
Mrs. Mckinley In Poor Health.

Mrs. Mckinley continues in poor
health. She is not necessarily con-
fined to her room, but seldom leaves
it. Two or three evenings, when
the weather was favorable, she has
been induced to take short rides.
But a disposition to avoid much eX-
ertion is noticeable. Most of the
time is spent on a couch or in an easy
chair. The President makes fire.
quent visits to the room and spends
as many hours as possible. The in
valid rejoices in these attentions,
and says they do her more good than
the doctors calls.
Earlier in the year Mrs. Mckinley
was disposed to travel. She enter
ed heartily into the various trips un-
dertaken by the President. Since
the return from New England and
the latest illness the inclination has
changed to desire for the quiet and
rest of the White House. Various
journeys which have been in con-
temptation now wait upon Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition and disposition.

A SPECIAL REQUEST.


The HERALD's local reporter, MIR.
Bruce Tucker, has gone to Atlantic
City for months rest. A very I'M
usual thing for newspaper worker
to do, by-the-way. But that is
'diverging" from the subject. We
wish to make special request of
our friends, and readers, and the
public in general who may be so
kindly disposed, to telephone us the
news. That is, if you have visitors,
if you give an entertainment, if you
get real sick, or get married, or die,
or any little thing like that, please
telephone the HERALD about it.
The big editor in chief is very
anxious that the news columns
should not reflect too plainly the alb
sence of the reporter. 1t might not
be well either for our subscription
list, our reputation or our feelings
And besides, it might give the
young man the big head, if the paper
told too plainly how really much be
is missed. So for his sake and ours
the public in general and our friends
in particular are invited to gossip
freely with the HERALD's telephone
during the month of August.

THE Board Of Education last
week asked the Board Of Aldermen
for an appropriation of 500 t III IKE
a small addition to one of the rooms
ut the Public school building. This
request was refused, but an intima.
ton given that If desired or re-
quired, another building, costing
considerably more than the sum
asked, would be built. Such open
hearted generosity upon the part of
the public servants with the peoples
money, from time immemorial, is
what makes Columbus tax burdens
more grievOus han they ought to
be. Public Schools, though a god
thing in themselves, may be made a
bad thing by squandering too much
money upon them. To start at the
kindergarten and carry through a
University course, Is rather too
much of good thing. Every new
fire plug, every new street lamp
every grade added to the public
school, puts fixed charge upon the
tax payers of Columbia. not only
for this year, but for years to
come. Columbia is good town
and a growing town, and its run
ming expenses are necessarily
large; and its public enterprises
should keep pace with the growth OF
the town. But we do not see any
use in building additions to the
school that the school board does moi
think necessary; nor do we see any
economy IN paying 1888 dollars pei
light for street lamps that last yea
only cost $50 per light; nor do we
see any sense or fairness in spend
ing more of the peoples money il
one year in East End than the taxes
on that property will pay back ii
ten years.

1.-The Peoples" Board have voted
the Columbia Light Co. an increase
of SO per light for each street light,
and increased the number of lights
from 40 to 90. Heretofore they have
been making contracts by the year
at $50, and now they have made a
five-year contract at $S8. Hereto
fore they have been paying $4,000 bv
the year; now, under a five-year
contract, they have agreed to pay
81 400 year; and all this in the
face of the fact that the lights are
VIGOROUSLY irregular and unsatis-
factory. But of course there is no
use of kicking against the pricks;"
"the people" elected the Board
and the tax payers must foot theil
bills.

IN retiring from Office Secretary
of War Alger has issued statement
defending himself against certain
charges growing out of the conduct
Of the War Department. He says

made the numerous appointments
from civil life. He denies the wrong
or careless use of money, and says
not a dollar was misappropriated
stolen or embezzled. He invites a
look at the records.

CONGRESSMAN CARMACK continues
to improve; slowly but surely. That
is the best news we have for our read
ers this week, and will be looked for
more eagerly and read with more
interest and real pleasure than any
other item in the paper; for we can
not tell how many times in the last
few days our telephone has been
asked the question, How is Ned?"
1t looked for awhile as If the odds
were against him. But it Is not the
first battle he has won when the odds
seemed to be against him; it is not
the first time he has snatched victory
from defeat. And he has on his
fighting clothes now; he says so
himself; aud indeed his uniform,
the fiesh-like color of his garments,
have very much the appearance
of the uniform of the ring. But
we will not bubble over figure
of speech. His pluck, and his cour'
age and his determination are still
with him, and some of his strength
is yet left, and with these and the
good nursing of his devoted wife, he
Is going to win this fight against the
fever, and live to serve his country
