FALSE CLAIMS.
CONTINUED from Page One.)

claims will be a 1857 claim in the next
Congress and no more. Consequently
the lawmakers argue that there is
no great hardship in deferment. In
the general run of cases that is true.
While scores and scores of cases might
be cited where claimants are really
suffering for the money rightly due
them and where they are urging prompt
action by the House Of Representatives
on the pending bill, the great bulk Of
the urging, which representatives hear
comes from the claims agents. They
engineer the campaign. All pull to-
gether and bring influence TO bear.
a very large percentage of these
claims trace their origin to war and
war operations. That holds true of
course of the French Spoilation
claims; of the cotton claims. and, in
directly, of many others Of more mod
ern date. A little example is a number
OF small claims for damages to prop
erty from the firing of big guns at
practice at the seacoast forts. There
are a number of these claims in every
omnibus bill, not few of them for
the scattering of windows in private
residences caused by the conclusion
from the guns.
While Congress has had to wrestle
with these war obligations, the states
have had their troubles with financial
matters growing out Of the Civil War
operations. The supreme court, for ex
ample, recently heard arguments on
an old time case between Virginia and
Wst Virginia and its decision will de-
termire whether West Virginia must
pay a part of the debt of Virginia that
was contracted prior to the Civil War
when the new state of West Virginia
was erected by loyal citizens out Of
territory that had been part Of the
old Dominion from the government 5
earliest days. The debt. of course, was
not any Civil War debt but the litiga
ton and the contention of more than
half century trace their origin to that
Civil conflict and demonstrate the
complications that result even to sue
ceeding generations from an appeal u
arms.
Another instance, somewhat remote
is the case of North Carolina, which
did not, like other Southern states
formally repudiate it's debts contract
ed in the Reconstruction days follow
ing the Civil War. The same class oi
claims agents. who are pushing the
omnibus bill before Congress- are in
terested in getting a legal status for
the North Carolina bonds. issued by a
reconstruction Legislature. but new
er paid A citizen can not sue a state.
In the supreme court a state can pros
ecute a claim for money against an
othe;. state. Claims attorneys have
been trying for some years to give
away certain of these North Carolina
bonds to state governments and have
succeeded only temporarily in persuad-
ing LEGISLATURES to vote that such
bonds be accepted as gifts. The OBJ
lect Is TO lead such states to sue
North Carolina for the bonds. obtain

gatisns which are in the hands of GER

a week the egg matches into very
small light colored worm.
Because of its enemies, the young
worm is obliged to find shelter. The
best hiding place is the bud end of
the setting fruit. From 80 per
cent. to 80 per cent. of the first
generation of worms enter the fruit
from this end. All those worms
that do not succeed in entering a
fruit at once, wander around until
starvation, birds or poison put an
end to them.
The best way to poison them is to
shoot some poison into the open end
of the flower or young fruit immed.
