MR, SHUGART DENIES, sce_spacial e, §LW to He Says Pe Has Not and Will Not De- sert the Republican Pa The local democratic managers, it is inti- mated, at the instance of their central com- mittee, have endeavored to stir up a little tempest by circulating” the story that there was a serious and widespread bolt among the republicans, owing to their objections to the prodibitory plaak adopted by the Cedar Rap- ids convention, A large list of the namés of theso allogea bolters were telegraphed far and wide, DPrinted shps were pre- paced for publication in smail coun- try democratic pupers with glaring héndlines announcing that the defection included the most promiment republicans in tho city, Iu these lists the uawme of E. L. Shugart was placed first, avd he was quoted as being the first bolter toannounce bis inten- tion of voting for Boies and all the other candidates named at Ottumwa, and addi- tional prominence was given to the bolt by calling attention to the fact that Mr. Shu- gart was a delegate to the state convention and chaivmau of the delegation. The gentle- man kept Lis own counsels and contented himself with the chastity of his own inten- tions until yesterday, when bis attention was called to tiie fucy that the story that ho had innugurated and was Jeading the bolt was a wide circulation, aud then he sought and asked to have the most em- phatic deniui published, “1 um not going to vote for Boies, nor a siugle man named by the late democratic stute convention,” said he. ‘“I could never vote for u man who hus slandered the state of Iowa like Governor Boies has. The an- nouncement that I have ever contemplated such a thingas deserting the republican party or uttered a word to anybouy that could be taken s an excuse for starting such a story is nbsolutely and unqualifiedly false, Itis simply another instance of the old democratic method of misrepresentation ana downright Iying. It is the old stock democratic thunder thut will be the best means of solidifying the the republican party.

NowLE, Seevettry of the Interior 5 ARE SCARED, SHARK Over Burean of How They F Claims Work, During the past month the Examiner-Bre bureau of claims has beon in receipt of a number of letters from ciients enclosing threatening and argumentative circulars from attorneys formerly employed, and ask- ing if the assertions therein mado wore true. The said clients are parties who, having been previously robbed by claim agents, cagerly weasped the opportunity for relief oy trans- ferring their cases to this bureau when con- gress opened the door by annulling previous contracts, Now, the uforesaid claim agent tormorants, fearing they may be balked of the prey they have so loni entavgled in their meshes, have begun to flood the country with circutar letters in which they constantly harp on two themes, viz.: That congress has 1o power to annul privato coutracts, and that their powers of attorney are irrevocable be. cause coupled with an nterest, uamely, o contingent f We do not propose at the present timo to advertise the names of these partios who now masquerade uuder the cognomen of attor neys, though strongly tempted to give them the celebrity their quasi-literary- o deavors so richly merit. One in particular deserves special recognition, by o maudlin communication of eight s in which ho jumbles uscless facts with fanciful theories, fzarblos judietal decisions, and so inextricably entangles his words that 'iu many mstances the closing part of his sentences have no ap- parent connection with the beginniug. To any one versed in the law of the land such idiotic letters are a matter only of ridi cule and amusement. But when we consider that the average claimant in the west is nec- essavily ignorant of the law governing the prosecution of claims in the city of Washing ton, we are prone to treat tho matter more {ously. T'he quostion of extent to which congress muy go in its interference with private cou- tracts, is undoubtedly one on which some of the most eminent legal minds have diffored, and it were easy to writo g volume on_either side. However, the philosophical und politi- cal arguments pro and con are something with which we at present have no concern We confing ourselves to the cold, hard logic of fucts. That the last congress’ did specifi- cally cancel and annul all existing contracts between claimants and attotnoys i the In dian depredation act of Mureh™ 3, 1801, is a fact which not even the squirming claim agents deny, and which auyone interested may read for himself by applying to us for a copy of the law. Possibly the emineut con- stitutionsl lawyers and jurists in the scnate and house of represoutatives should have consulted these obscure claim agents before passing the act which s0 seriously curtailed their Shyfock propensitics. But we aporchend that more relinuce was placed upon the recent decision of tho U.S. supreme court, case of Mitchell as clerk, reported in 110 U. S.goports, page ; where in the highest tribunal in the asserts “no_ provision of the prohibits congress from interfering with validity of contracts.” “T'ho second legal problem involved is_that of revocation of powers of attorney. When and under what circumstances the claimaat | an existing power and employ attorney. Our eight page friend leads off with due solemity by quoting Judge Storey: “When an suthority or power is coupled with an interest it is from its own nature and character in contemplation of law 1d, constitution the irt cable:” then proceeds to argue that the retaining of an attorncy on a contingont feo is equivalont to coupling the power with an_interest. This is absolutely fulse from a legal standpoint, but it is an assertion well caleulated to mislena the ordinary read- er. What is really meant by an “interest’ is an interest or right in the thing itself, Thu if au cstate is conveyed toun trustee. v h power to sell, this power canuot be revolked ecause the trustee has an interest in the es- tate itself; he holds the legal right to the property. ' Again, if tho owner of a patont assigns one-tenth of it to a second party and leves him power of attoruney in conucction, saud power of attornoy canuot bo revoked be- causo the assignee has an interest in the pat- ent itself. Butif aclaimant gives a power of attorucy 1o an agent to prosecute his cluim for a contingent fee.this power 1s not coupled with an interest and can bo_revoked at tho pleasure of the claimant. When tho agent agrees to work fora contingent fee, ho ac- cepts a very serious part of the “‘contingen- ‘ the possibility of having his power re- voked. And a fed contingent on the success- ful prosecution of a claim can, in no_way, be construed as an “interest” in the claim which would render a power of aitoruoy. irtovoc: able, y The Bee Bureau was Established and Its Aims.

Indian Depredations. The last congress passed an act dosigned to facilitato the prosentation and collection of the claims of citizens of the United States for depredations committed by the members of the various Indian tribes since July 1, 1865, This act provides for the speedy heaving and determiniog of all such claims, and allows at- torneys presenting them to charge from 15 to 20 per cent. 1t is believed that the work can be done for frowm 5 per cent and upwards of the amount of the cluims as allowed by the proper court, thus effecting a large s claimants who bave iu the past paid from i 10 50 per cent for such work, By the terms of this law all claims must be prosecuted be- fore the conrtof claims within threo years from the date of its passage or that they will forever be ba d; 50 that it is desirable that persons who have suffered from Indian dep redations in the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and South Dakota should v once com municate with Tur Bee bureau of claims and ave the matter | proper shape and pre: sented to the court immediately.
