NfvADA'S CIVIL WAR CLAIMS.


uHQeI consideration III the Oeudte,
Senator Stewart introduced an
amendment providing for the pay
ment of the long standing Nevada
war claims, which were for bounty
and extra pay to the Nevada vol
unteers during the Civil War. The
claims aggregated about $Io5,ooo
for principal and over 100000 for
interest. The bill containing this
amendment went to the conferees
of the Senate and House. The
conferees of the House refused to
agree and reported disagreement
in the House. Mr.. Newlands,
after soliciting the assistance of
many Representatives and writing
letters to the different members,
requesting their aid, stating among
other things that the entire State
debt of Nevada had its source in
the payments made during the
Civil War, moved that the House
recede and concur in the Senate
amendment. whereupon Mr..
Moody of Massachusetts,, one of
the conferees, took the floor in
opposition to the bill, claiming
that the allowance of Nevada's
claim would bring down upon the
treasury the claims of all the var
ious States that had paid bounties
and extra pay. Among them he
stated that Pennsylvania had paid
bounties ranging from three hun
dred to four hundred and eighty
four dollars, and New Jersey from
$500 to $625; that his own State,
Massachusetts, instead of paying
bounties ahd paid simply extra
pay.
Mr.. Newlands made an able and
forceful argument in support OF
the claim. He carefully outlined
the conditions that existed on the
Pacific Coast at that time; showed
that the soldiers were paid in
greenbacks, which at that time
were worth but fifty cents on the
dollar; pictured the exciting times
owing to the discovery of the great
Comstock lode, raising as it did
the prices of all commodities
which were higher there than in
any other State in Union, owing
to the high freight rates paid for
bringing the materials from Calf
ornia by team; showed that the
pay of the soldiers, namely, $I3 in
greenbacks, would buy but eight
dollars worth of goods and these
at such advanced prices that he in
reality obtained but about five
dollars worth of purchasing power
from a months salary, and claimed
that the five dollars in gold paid
by the State was not bounty, as
claimed by Mr.. Moody and others,
but an equalization of the pay of
the soldiers of the West with the
soldiers of the East. He claimed
that there was a precedent for
this allowance in the act of the
United States Government, which
had for many years previons tc
the Civil War allowed the soldiers
of the Pacific Coast double pay,
and the officers $50 a month extra

Massachusetts, made her expendi-
ture, of how much / do not know,
and she paid her soldiers from her
State treasury, partially, if not
quite as much as they received
during the Civil War from the
United States treasury. Nevada
has not been paid, nor has Cali
fornia, nor has Massachusetts,, nor
has Illinois, nor any other State.
My sympathies with this small
State-small as to the number OF
population-are such that perhaps
if could segregate this claim and
then pass over all the similar
claims to arise from every other
State, amounting l speak conser-
vatively) to one thousand million
dollars, / think / might vote for
this half million?
Mr.. Newlands-I ask the gentle
man not to raise specters and hob
goblins to arouse the apprehen-
sions of the House.
Mr.. Cannon-I am not raising
specters."
Mr.. Newlands-You said "a
thousand millions" That simply
shows the power of your imagina-
ton.
Mr.. Cannon-Not at all. Let us
see. The gentleman says, Don't
raise specters." 1t is my duty, if
l can, to plant my feet as a legis-
lator, proceeding with care, guided
by truth and by wisdom, because l
act here not only for Nevada, but
for every other State and its in
habitants. l said thousand mil
lion dollars of claims similar in
principle; and now l want the
gentleman's attention. This was
an extra allowance-call it pay;
call it bounty; call it relief; call it
what you please-that was paid
by Nevada. Now let us take Mas
sachusetts; let us take Illinois.
Massachusetts, paid the same extra
pay and called it pay. Many of
the States paid bounties and call
ed them bounties, Many of the
States gave relief in many differ
ent ways-calling it this, that and
the other-all upon the same
foundation in principle.
Nov, l say you may add the
bounties, you may add the extra
pay, you may add the relief that
these various States of the North
contributed; yon may count the in
terest on those expenditures as it
is counted upon this claim; and l
say again, speaking conservatively,
that the amount would be over
rather than under one thousand
million dollars. Therefore, with
out raising specters, l want to tell
the truth; and l want to say that
if we owed this money-if we had
ever made similar payments to any
State or to anybody-if there were
a legal obligation then we ought
to pay it, whether the amount be
half a million or two thousand
millions. But if we do not owe it,
if every State in the North has
been paid under the law every
cent that is entitled to, as it has
been, then l do not see that we
ought to make precedent which
will bring trooping here not only
California and Oregon, but New
York, Illinois, and Massachusetts,
and every other State, along the
line of this precedent, knocking
at the doors of the Treasury.
Mr.. Newland's motion to concur
was lost upon final vote. After
the debate, many Congressmen

Extreme Absent.Mlndedness.

A local railroad official is an ex-
tremely absent-minded man. He fire.
quently forgets to go to lunch, and it
is usually necessary to remind him
that 1t is time for dinner. His wife,
knowing his little peculiarities, is his
other self, and looks carefully after
his affairs at home. She sees to it
that he does not go downtown with
one yellow and one black shoe, and
keeps his cuffs carefully separated.
The strange thing about it is that he
never, under any circumstances for
gets a business affair of any sort, or
confuses Identities or anything of that
kind in connection with the railroad.
but he will return his sister-in-law's
bow with distant stare, or an absent
blinded touch of the hat. One day.
couple of weeks ago, he ran up to the
lakes TO spend few houfs with his
wife and family. She had arranged
for game of golf, of which he is pas
sionately fond. and he spent the after
noon playing foursome, winning with
his partner against his wife and an
other man. That night he got on the
train at the little station, his wife and
the children having gone down with
him. He bade them a fond farewell,
and then, after he had settled his
effects in the sleeper. wrote a tele-
gram. which he addressed to his wife
at st. Louis, to this effect: will be
