"I have been all through the county during

It is All different. The republicans are hang
Ing together in flno shape and wo look for an
increase all over the county , especially in
the eastern part. "
Considerable amusement has been cause *
bj the use that bas beu made in democratic
quarters of the article * of incorporation men
tioned a few. dajs aeo as bhving been tiled
\\lth tbo county recorder by a company
which , according to tbe articles of incorpora
tion , was to build and operate a mammoth
distillery , with a capita ) stock of $ l,5dOOtA ) .
Tbo organization of this company has been
pointed to very vigorously by democrats as
an indication of what Council Bluffs may ex-
pod in case tno prohibitory law Is repealed.
A Keutlomsn who U on the inside of the
whole business stated yeMeniaj to a BiE re
porter that the organization of the company
was simply u piece of campaign work on the
part of the democrats , and that the members
of the company had not the slightest Inten
tion of ever buiidine a distillery in this city ,
whether the prohibitory utv Is repealed or
not. The fact that tne most strenuous efforts
to find some track of the projector , of the en
terprise havu be n dismal failure * , lends
color to tbls statement.

The closing rilly of the campaign was held
Ian evening under the auspices of the Voung
Men's Republican club in the Broadway the
ater. hvery seat In the house was occunled ,
and at least oOO had to stand in the aisles. A
large number were turned away , unable to
get fnside the door. The room was profusely
decorated with flag * , and tbe national colors
formed a oackground for the itace.
The meeting was called to order by E. L.
Sbugart. candidate for the state senate , who ,
after a few Introductory remarks , called T.
J. Evans to tbo chair. Mr. Evans stepned to
the front of thostaro amid applau e and In
troduced the first speaker of tbe meeting ,
Hon. John M. Thurston of Omaha , vho was
greeted with a cheer that nearly raised tbo
roof. His speech was a magnificent defense
of the tariff principles of the repuohcan party ,
anJ particularly of tno much-maliirned Me-
Kinloj bill.

In 1-57 President Buchanan. In his message.
laid that while the ! . rms of the cuuntrv had
yield"d almost unparalleled crops , there was
a terrible lack ot prosperity which he w.ism
n lo-s to explain. Thousand- men wan
dered about the streets looking for work and
fallinz to lind It The reason was that free
traae bad worked out it-own naturil result
and millions of money had been taken out of
the country to buj the necessities of life for
the workinman Tbe fields were full of
colncn eratn , but ail over the prairie corn WHS
burned for fuel , although coal wu only T
cents a bushel , simp y because there wj-i no
market for it In a quarter of u century the
republican p irty , by its tariff law . placed
the country or. a prosperous basl , , with the
princlp es of Its government so bxed that
every American mlzht real assured thai h's '
child would hud a way to earn .1 good livins ,
while the democratic party , in the meantime ,
had alwavs been tbe assailant of peed gov
ernment and wSe lezisltitlon. the partv of
dissatisfaction aim distrust , offerlns nothing
in return for impoverished labor excepting
the W cent stores of England.
Mr. Thurston closed his speech by an
eloquent peroration , in which he stood up for
tne enforcement of the provisions of the
American constitution , even if it nad to bo
done by means of a forca bill such as bad
Deen passed oy tne last COBpres : > .
Mr Shugaft was tnen called upon. He
stated that it bad been thought best tbat be
should clearlv state his po ition on the ques
tion of probiDition , about which such a howl
has been raised in one of the citv papers re
cently. He repeated the statement he
made to tne repjblican convention on
the day when he was nominated for
the senate , thai he was in favor
of a high license and local option law , and
would vote for such a law if it should be pro
posed. Ho was elected by enthusiastic cheers
and was itamocliatelv followed oy Mr. Cof-
feen. who stated that his position on the
question wa ? me same.
Attorney General Stone was introduced
and said the question of prohibition WAS not
the mam one in the present campaign , al-
thougn the democrats had done their best to
make it appear so.

Trunk Une Mnmsers.
Cnictoo , 111 , Nov. 2. Tne eastern hues
are taking courage as the close of lake navi
gation approaches. A mooting of trunk line
presidents will be held in New Yoru next
Thursday to consider tno rate situation with
a view to fixing up a schedule for the winter
months , and it is understood that special at
tention will bo given to the charges that cer
tain roads are tecretlv manipulating rates on
eastbound ousicess.
An important question to bo considered at
the meetme of tna Western Passenpor asso
ciation tomorrou is tbe establishment of a
rate bureau in connection with tne associa
tion. Tno committee having the matter in
charge strongly recommends tbe establish
ment of such a bureau.
General Passenger Acent Poad of the
Wisconsin Central has apnlied for authority
to quote short line rates from Dulutb to
southern points via Ashland. Objection is
made by tbe Omaha line , wnich holds tbat
tbo \ \ isconsm Central should mane r.ites on
the basis of tbe Kansas City rate. Chairman
Finiey bas referred the matter to the North

to tbo Interstate Commerce commission that
this was a discrimination against tbe Ionia
merchants. Tne commission sustained tbe
complaint and ordered tbe read > o cease the
practice within thirty days. Tne company
has not complied with the order and now the
IJnttea States attorney has tiled a petition in
tbe United States court against the company
to obtain an injunction restraining the de
fendant from furnishing free cartage at
this place.
WORK OF THE COURT OF CLAIMS.
. D. C. , Nov. 3. [ Special teA
A representative of THE BEE
called upon Hon. L.V. . Colby , the aislitant
attorney general in charge of the Indian
depredation cases , at his office in tbe court of
claims building today to get what informa
tion could ba obtained in addition to bis re
cent report printed exclusively ID THE BEE
seine time 330 and aUo learn something as to
the condition of tbe oftico generally. General
Colby was appointed to bis present position
from tbo state of Xebr-iska on the first day
of July last in accordance with the provn-
Ions of the recent Indian depredation aci
In response to inquiries General Colby
saidS'o are engaged at present ia the ex-
atninatmn of whit we call 'preferred cases'
that have been brought for Indian depreda
tions. The act of March 3 , issi , provides
that claims for Indian depredations , which
have boon examined , approved , aud allowed
by tbe secretary of tno interior , or under bts
direction , ( halt hivn priority of consideration
before the court , and that if neither the
claimant nor the government elect to re-oncn
the v. } 0 and trv the same beiore the court , a
judgment for the amount allowed shall bo
rondorod. Each of these case * is being care
fully examined on the part of the government
boi'ore it * election is made , and wo have a
special docket prepared for this class of
cased. Tbero are about 000 on the 'preferred'
doelttt. "
"How many actions have been brought ! "
"There were S.101 on October K and there
are about 5,300 now. 1 think the cues aver-
ace about forty or fifUl hM y exceot Sun
days. " !
"Can vou give the amount of those claims' "
'The aggregate amount claimed in the 5.101
actions was f JO/KU&Mt : the smallest case
Is $19 T.I and theIarKetl * SIJ5" ! There
is quite a number of cuiiais atuountlatr to
$10u,000 and tKU.fXW. "
"Can you give the st t s In which these
depredations were committed , or which are
Interested in them1 } t
"There is a number of petitions , some OX )
I think , in which tbe name of the territory Is
not designated. Texas bus. tbe largest amount
of claims 1,4(51. ( New Mexico comes next
with 1,11-leases , Oregon-aii2INebraska l.V ,
Washington M. Wjomiutf SI , Alabama fll ,
California 14. . Kansas : ! UO and some Uventv-
four states and territories in all have citizens
interested In these matters. It Is not eon-
flned to any one section or locality. "
"What information have you to give In re
gard to t be tribes of Indians airalnst whom
these claims are charged ! "
I will give you a list of the tribes or na
tions of ind.tins wbo are mentioned in the pe
titions as having committed the dep
redations , i think there is a
charge against every tribe or nearly
every trixs of Indians in She United States ,
ns w ell as the tribes or nations w ho are now
residents of Mexico and Canada or the
British possessions. I have learned. In fact ,
that quite a number of the Indians ivho are
supposed to be in the United states are
rt'iiliv residents of Canada nnrt in treaty re-
lifions with that government This brings
up a very Interesting question thtt will have
to bo decided bv the court of claims , whether
this government is responsible under the act
for depredauotis committed bj Indians that
are re idi : .ts of , and in treaty relations with ,
a foreign L-overuraent. "
"When doetba court of claims meet ! "
"Tho last week in October , but they wi
ba occupied with other cases tb&t have been
pending for some time under the Bowman
act or for French spoliations and will not be
able to tane up any of the contested Indian
depredatftn cases until some time in Jan
uary. Then , one week is all that is given at
that time lor these cases ' '
"What progress do you expect to make In
tno trial of these cases J"
"Well , l cannot tell. I am eolng to do the
best 1 can under the circumstances. The
cases which nave boon examined , unproved
and allowed by the secretary of the Interior ,
and which the interest * of the government
do not require to be opened and retried , will
be expedited , and passed to judgment at the
earliest time possible. I know that the
people in the south andest are
specially Interested in these matters.
Many of them have just
claims that should have been paid by the
government vearj ago , and they now have
reason to think that under the new act they
should get their money. I will try the cases ,
all of them , just as fast as possible. Many
of them are very old. A majority of the
claims are twenty or thirty years old , nnd
there is quite a number that go oack to tne
old Creek war , which occurred in l # i , I be
lieve. Tbe claimants are aged aud the wit
nesses as well , and many of them are infirm
und feeble. Several of the claimants have
died since the suits were commenced.
Wherever I could do so , I have taken deposi
tions where the age and feebleness of the
claimants or their witnesses made such ac
tion absolutely necessary. ' '
"How about the appropriation ; is it suffi
cient to enable you to do tai "
"No , tbe appropriation is entirelv inade
quate. The act of congress appropriated
only flj.UOJ to piv incidental expenses for
taking depositions , attorneys' fees , clerk
hire , and everything including tbe salary ol
the assistant attorney general. It should
have been three times thut in order to meet
the demands of claimants forexpediting their
cases , and even the > it would take several
years to get through. Depositions have been
taUeu in cases coming from Georgia , Texas ,
Iowa , Nebraska , tbe Dako'os , Colorado ,
Kansas , Utah , Wyoming , Oregon , Washing
ton and other states , 1 nave taken many of
these personally , and have emplo3-ed
local assistance in other cases
as well as having obtained the
services of United btatcs distuct attorneys
when possible. These matters are important
to a largo number of worthy citizens , and
there is no politics in it , fcs the claims come
from states aad localities son.e of them dem
ocratic and some of them republican. "
"Wliatdo > ou think about the number of
cases 1 Are tbey ne.irly all in "
"In my judgment there is only about a
third or a" fourth of the number of suits com
menced for which claims are in existence.
I think a low estimate would put the actions ,
that will be commenceain the court of claims
for Indian depredations nt from l .OOJ to
15,000. In manv cases the claimants are dead ,
and their children and heirs are scattered in
various states of the nuion. In many instances
the administrators of their estates are also
dead , and new opes have to bo appointed , and
the heirs looiccd up and powers of attorney
obtained before their suits can be properly
brought. "
"Ho\\ about the law applicable to this class
o leases P
'I think the law in geceral is B ver > good
one , and it was certain ! } meant to give re
lief to a large number of people wbo had
been knockinc- the doors of congress many
jears to recover what they considered pay
ment for just demands. It is , however , im
perfect in sonio respects , and there are many
new aud interesting questions that will anso
in its administration. Questions of
citizenship of claimants , as to depredations
committed on reservations , the assignmsnt of
claims by tne operation of law or otherwise
of partnership , of heir hip , of amity , and also
many questions arising Jrcm the depreda
tions"beme committed bv two or more tribes
in conjunction , and the effect that suose-
queut treaties declaring amnesty for past of-
lences v\ ill have under the operation of the
law , are all questions new and of unusual in
terest for tbe decision of the courts.1
How long a time have tne claimants in
which to tiring a sun for depredations f"
"They have three years from March 3 ,
191 , tbe time of the passage of the act , "
"How about the procedure in the court of
claims , is it difHcult or not ) "
"It is not difficult to a lawyer. It , how
ever , really requires the services of a prac
ticing attorney to properlv prepare , try ,
brief and argue the case. Suit is commenced
by til ng a petition in the court of claims ,
then the evidence is taken by deposition The
case is afterwards briefed and argued. The
orulnary rules of practice in tbo court of
claims have been adopted for the government
of this class of cases in so lur a ] they are in
their nature applicable.
"What is the limit of time of depredations
for which action may be brought ! "
"No depreda'ions committed after the
passage of the act can be considered , 'ihoso
committed prior to July I , lfcGT , are barred by
tbe statute of limitations , unless tbo claim
bud been filed or examined or somethingdone
thereon as provided by the law prior to iu
passage. The law is very broad in its pro
visions nnd very few cases , I think , are
barrod. The main difficulty , so far as claim
ants are concerned , is in obtaining the evi
dence.
"How about fraudulent claims , are there
manv of thosol"
"Of course I cannot tell at present. There
are. doubtless , many cases tbat are largely
exaggerated in amount. I do not think that
claimants have asked anv less than tbey are
entitled to I do nof bcllevo that there are
many cases tnat are absoiue frauds that is ,
that are manufactured entirely out of 'whole
cloth , ' and without any apparent foundation.
There are , doubtless , macy cases where the
n urn Mr of animals uaken bas been in
creased many fold and their prices and value
largely enhanced. Tbfce cases all require
careful consideration and examination on tbo
part of the government.1 *
