NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUEFS, Ex-Senator Ingalls on the fosial Problem of the Century, CHAUTAUQUA VISITORS ~ ENTERTAINED. Brilliant Address of an Able Why the World is Poor — A Statesman's Idea of Gould, The superb audience that greoted ex-Sena- tor Ingalls of Kansas yesterday at the Coun- cil Bluffs and Omaha Chautaudua grounds was such as might make any orator fecl that he was popular. It was the greatest day of the Chautauqua this r, and the assembly that filled the splendia amphitheater must have numbered nearly ten thousand people. I'he lecture by the cloguent ex-senator was annouuced to begin at 2:30, but in order to let all the people who were on their way the grounds have ample time to get to the amphi- theater hefore the lecture began the dis- tinguished speaker was not_introduced until ten minutes of 3 o'clock. The interim was quite acceptably filled in by the lowa state baud. The anticipation of the vast audience wis poised when ex-Senator [ngalls and Prof. C. came upou the wido stage. One elance at the tull, siender form, faultlessly dressed in gray locks, thie spectacles, { bearing of the man. told the audience that ex-Senator Ingalls was upou the stuge and a prolonged burst of applause greeted the orator of the da Mr. Ingalls acknowledged the greeting by a slight bow of the head and then took his seat to await the conclusion of the music. When the music ceased Prof. Case stepped forward to introduce ex-Seuator Ingalls, As he con- cluded bis bricf remarks he gave the audience to the signal for the Chautauqua salute. Like 10,000 white pigeons darting from their hidden nests, like the flash of 10,000 sabres springing from their scabboards, the handkerchiefs heid in the hands of that vast audience were suddenly whirled into the air and for a moment the vast audience secmed to have become an_army with white plumes and banners. The atmosphere for an in- stant was laden with a_composite perfume and the sceno was inspiring, Another round of upplause followed liko the 1ol of thunder following the gleam of the lightning and then the orator stepped to the front and began his address upon *“The Social Problems of Our Second Century."” The distinguished spoaker und statosman congratulated the Council Bluffs and Omaha Chautauqua and che people present upon the fact that such a splendid building and such an occasion had been mado possible in a coun- try where but a few years before thers were 10 homes or habitations excepting those of the hunter and the American Indian. sBut it was only ono of the numerous evidences of the marvelous energy und properity of the American peopl then spoke ievements and the de axon race. “To our “humanity is indebted for its religion, its literature, and its civilization. Its history shows a genius for conquest, politics, juris- in glowinz terms of the tiny of the Anglo " he said, prudence, and administration. Here “have been found the fullest and most complote vealization of its fundamental ideas of government and society and there can be no doubt that in this arena its most maguificent triumphs are to bo scored in tho futuro He drew a vivid picture of the contrast be- tween tne social conditions ut the commence- ment of the first contury and those of the prescut time. “Oue hundred years ago,” seid tho speaker, “1 romember my father, who kept a little store in the cast, used to malke semi-annual pilgrimages from Boston 0 New York, to buy goods. and to sell such of his stock as he had loft over. I remembe; ne used to miake his will every time just be- foro he started out. Why, it'was farther at that time from Boston to New York, than it is now from Boston to Sun Francisco. Dis- tance hus decreased since then, and as dis- tance decreased, soclety, and in fact all the fentures of our national lfe, have broadened. “Hud the conditions remained as they were 100 vears ago the government which we now enjoy would have been impossible.

According to his \wumnm the total amount of the claims filed with him was §77,430.82, and the assots of the firm so far as they had como into his hands had been $41,344.43. On a motion he was allowed the sum 0f 3,000 for his sorvices as assignee, and the law firm of Flinkinger Brothers was allowed £3,000 for their services in the case. Aftor these have been paid the assignee will be discharged. — The Chicago, Kock Istand and Pacific Will run trains to the Chautauqua grounds duly 12 to 21, inclusive, as follows: Leave Council Bluffs: G:10a. m., 7:50 a. m,, 10:02 2, m., 10:35) 8. m., 1:30 p. m., 4:00 p. my, 6597 p.m., 780 p. m.

Machinery has doubled the laboring capacity of man. The workmen in the factories of Massacubsetts arc enabled to do the work which, without the wgency of machinery, it would take 100,000,000 men to do, and in this way the men themselves are enabled to give uttention to higher pursuits. Under the new regimo farmug has become a sedentary occupation. 1 had a friend that used to teil me that if a man wanted exercise nowadays he must becowe a lawyer or a politician.” He then proceeded” to a consideration of the unequal distribution of the wealth of tho country. *‘From 1560 to 1800, ho said, *des- pite the most destructive war that ever oc- curred upon this planct and the cmancipation of $1,000,000,000 worth of slaves, this country had grown richer at the rate of §50,000 for every day and hour of thase thirty years, ‘Phere had been accumulated during this time £1,000,000,000, enough to give every man, woman aud child beneath the flag & compe: tence, enough to secure to every family a comfortable home; to educate and keep tho wolf from the door of every household, and to guard against every misfortune, extremity and calamity. And yet," be continued, with a dramatic uplifting of s hands, “there are 10,000,000 of people in this country out of 62,- 000,000 that never get enough o eat from one year's end to anotuer, “To a great proportion of our citizens ceaseloss toil yields no other result than an old age of helpless mendicancy. A majority of our laborers and agricultural people have a bitter struggle for existenco, while a mi- nority, by no meuns small, through no favit of thoir own, live and die’ in hopeless pov erty. A million men walk the streets of our roat cities today willing and_abio to work, but hunting in vain for someshing to do. Ou the other hand, multitudes have such a su- pertluity of wedlth thau they dovoto duys and iights to the sk of finding some new way of spending their fortunes, although never in their lives did they do un honest day’s work. I tell you, no one who reflects cad be sur prised at’ the widespread and deep scated aiscontent among the luboring clusses, Tho wonder is that u social structure resting on such u basis as ours should endure so loug us it by fany think that tho days of monarchy of Eugland are almost over, that Victoria is the last of her line. among the laboring classes io Bugland is not 50 great as hero.

I attributo a lurge share of the existing discontent to the fuct that our experiment of self-govern- went s not altogother success; that the ballot is not & panacea for ali social evils; that political equality has not resulted in social fraternity. The masses are commenc: ing toturn with apprenension from a govern ment of individual liberty. The speaker then alluded to the fact that 100 years ngo George Washington was the richest map in his country, and that his total wealth was but §K0,000. ~ Now there are men whose annual incomo exceeds $9,000,000, and whila i Washiugton's time thera was neither o trawp, & williouaive, or & pauver iu the land, ut present over nalf of ali the weaith in the couutry is in the hands of 81,000 men.

It would be but a few years until we shou.d have leather lunged orators going about the country again, earning their bread by the perspiration of their jaws and crying out tor another ‘divy.’ “1 have no fears for tho future," said the speaker in conclusion. *I have nothing but condemnation for the measures which are now being presented, looking toward the curing of all existiug ilis by legislation. The ultimate appeal will bé to the conscience and tho inteliigence of the people, and I have no doubt that our civilization will bo successful.

In fact, when the latter reach their destination they are like back numbers. They are not used for reading, but for wrapping anda carpet pad- ding purposes. In each of those respects they are quite valuablo. How is Tue Bek able to so distance its competitors Because it has established anumber of horse voutes throughout the state! Because it has its own special train which makes 4 ron to Grand Island, 154 mites dis- tant from Omaha, in four hours!

CHECKMALING THE They Can No Loager Rob’'Olaimants of the Governments THE BEE'S GREAT BUREAU, OF CLAIMS, “ SHARKS, ' 3 Befriends Sottlers,;, Patentees, Widows, Orphans aad Soldic and is Commended by the Highest Authority, It Men who have had claims against the gov- ernment and employed professional agents to ropresent them before the devartments in Washington, tell strange stories of tricks and rascality to which they wers subjected at tho hands of these merciless creatures. There are of course, some honest men among these agents; but there are so many that are notoriously corrupt, that it is almost im- possible for a claimant, unless he be direct- od by a well-informed individual, to find ono in whom he can impheit confldence. Tie: Ber has received bundreds of com- plaints from soldiers and others who had advanced moncy when so dosired and who t failod to receive any information as regards what the sharks’ had done with either mwoney or claim, Tt Bk has also been requested to recom- mend reliable ngents and has, in this way, served to protect the people from fraud and waited for years and robue But that did no good to the people who had fallen into the hands of sharks. As rapidly as the latter were shown up, new ones with new tricks and ras places, There was but one means left and that was to establish a great bureau of claims, This idea was suggested to a numoer of people but was put into practice first by the San Fran- csco Examiner, With the Examiner, Tue Bre has co-opera- ted 1 tho great work of affording relief to worthy claimants. The Washington correspondent of the Ex aminer, Mr. John Wedderburn, who has also acted as private secretary to Sonator Hearst, was detailed to organize and take charge of the burcau. His long service in Washington in both these capacities had given him a large acquaintance with government officials and government methods. Knowing the men and the proper procedure to follow, ho was ity took their chosen as well qualified to pusn claims through in the shortest time if they were justly due. The best lawyers to be hal were then em- gaged and a full clerical force put into the bureau. In every instance the men were chosen for their knowledge of the work to be done. Congress was not less anxious to protect claimants from robbery. The same kind of comptaints nad come to Tue Hek and gone to the members of congress as well. Tho com- mittees that haa the Indian depredations bill under consideration investigated the opera- tions of the claim agents and attorne, connection with the Indian depred: claims. They found that tho claim agents had demanded 33k to 50 (per cent from the men holding the claims, and in hundreds of cases held contracts at these figures. While the was still in congtress, with little ap- parent chance of passage, thdy were able, by methods dangerously uearthe line of false pretenses, to induce the claimants to sign the exorbitant demands. There appeared 10 be only one way to pro- tecythe cliimants, That was to cancel all contracts by law and limit the fees that at- torneys might collect. The claimants would thus be enabled to chooso’ another agent if the one they had first engaged had attompted to defraud them, and the contracts could not demond more than the specified rate. ‘Tho ninth section of the bill was thus drawu to annul “all sales, transfers or as- signments of claims" and “all contracts here- tofore made.” The maximum fee to be al- lowed was put at 15 per cent of the amount collected except in caso of claims under &00 or where unusual work had to be done, when 20 per cent might ba allowed, The amount of business receivea imme- diately after the opening of the bureau is a proof of the confidence in which the people hold it and of the distrust which the ordi- nary claim agent has aroused, In the six weeks, from April 1 to May 15, claims to the amount of $4,%05,341.655 were filed with the bureau on account of Indian depredation claims alone. All these go to the court of claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. Be- sides the claims unaer the Indian depreda- tion act there had been filed at that date treasury claims to the amount of $233,604; French spoilation claims to che amount of £285,883: laud claims, $280,850; and patent and other claims to a large amount, Since that date some 82,000,000 of claims have been filed with the bureau, and it is now attending over £5,000,000 of claims. ‘The need for the bureau may well be scen by the fact thatit now has on hand more claims than all of the claim attorneys of Washingtou combined. 5 ‘The efforts of congress and the establish- meut of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim ugents. They wanted to continue to thrive in thew business of fleccing the needy claimant. They accordingly denounced the government aud the bureau. They hold that the former could not cancel the contracts they had made with their victims, But the cancellation was made in tho interest and name of the people. And it need not bo doubted that the eminent constitutional law- years who framed the act 1 question did not do so without knowing what they were doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly had an_effect upon some men who desired to make new contracts and securo the services of some other attorney, but this effect will soon be destroyed und the emancipation of the claimaut from the tyranny of the shark will be complete, The amount of money that will be saved to the people by this work of Tie Bee Bureav or Craivs,may not be caleulated, It will cer- tainly be very great. The work will be done as uear actual cost as possible. Some of it will not cost more than 5 per cent, while much of it can be done within the 15 and 20 hr cent allowed by law. In some cases the 20 per cent may be required, It is the inten- tion, howaver, to give the claimant the bene- fit of the lowest charges that will cover the expenses of the servic Tue Bee Bukeav will prosecute claims in the supreme court of the United States, the court of claims, theseverai courts of the Dis- trict of Columbin, before the committees of congress and the executive departments, It will secure the payment of just Indian depre- aation claims, lana claims, pension claims, mining pre-emption and bomestead cases und obiain patents at misimum cost and the t despaten, > aro thousands et who are entit to pensions.

A short time ago a now acparture was inaugurated by the San Francisco Ex- aminer, now the leading paper on the Pacific Its proprictor, Mr. Hearst, son of the enator Hearst of California, who has a very large fortune at his command, conceived the idea of estaolishing a bureau of cluims at Washington, manned by the ablest 1awyers and specinlists conversant with the routine worl in the various departments and bureaus of the government. The object of Mr. Hoarst in this undertaking is clearly sot forth in the prospectus publishedin Tie B When the announcement of this new do- parture was made negotiations were at onc entered into between T Bee and the pro- prietor of the Examiner to join hands and mutually share in the enterprise. Those ar- rangements have now been perfected and agreements entered into by which TrueBre bo comes a co-worker of tho Examiner in the territory where Tite Bee enjoys so extensive a subscription patronage. Under this arrangement all applications for claims, cither for pensions, lnliaa depreda- tions, land or mining claims, postal claims in the states of lowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Nebraska, will be taken in hand by Tue Bee Bureau of Claims i Omaha and through it forwarded to headquarters at Washington where the Examiner bureau will sccute them to a fina! and speedy cou- Tue Bee takes pleasure in offering to all its patrons rticularly to suvscribers to Tk WeEKLY BEE, the services of this now buréau which, we nave no doubt, will prove of great advantagosto them, both in proso cuting now elaims to a successful issuo and inexpediting all claims entrusted to Tu B burea The Terms. The terms under which claims will ve prosecuted will depend entirely upon the amount of service rendered in each case. Wo. can safely assure all patrons of the burcau that ®the charges will be very much lower than rates charged by tho regular claims lawy and claims agents at Washington Itgo without saying that the Lxaminor and Tig Bee are ln position conjointly to ex- pedite business and do service at more lib- eral rates than any other medium for the prosecution of claims. Iu the matter of fees and charges Tie Ber desives ouly to clear expenses. The burcau is intended for the relief of the people from the rapacity of legalsharks. In many cases foos allowed attorneys are irrevocably fixed by law, and 1n such the question is decided. In other claims such a charge will be made as scoms to cover the actual expenses involved in collection We muke patronage, no effort to solicit your as does the ordinary agent who scels your «laim for a financia consideration.” Such is not our pur- pose. We offer to ono und all the services of a well equipped bureau, where a claim of any nature can be sent, or information in regard thereto be obtained. If your claim is worth less or illegitimate you will bo so notifia without fear or favor, If the claim is gon- uine it will receive prompt attention and ofticient prosecution. If unsuccessful, no charge will be made; provideld, however, {hat lalmants must. dolray thoie own ox penses in the preparation of uffidavits, depo- sitions, and other evidence outside of Wash- ington. We will furnish the nccossary logal papers and boar the Washington expenses only in unsuccessful claims. When claims are allowed, o reasonable fee will be charged to cover uctual cost. All lotters will bo promptly answered and all information concerning form of app! tions for claims, terms, otc., will be giv with as little delay as practicablo.

The only actual prevent- ative involve: a delicate operation, which, however, can be successfully performed by a man with a steady hand. It consists in boring a small holé in tho tree near the ground and filling it witn sulphur, The sap carries this over the tree and there will be fow insccts settia or crawl on any part of it. The spring is the best time to do this, but with a strong healthy tree it can be doue now with perfect safet The Dismal Swamp.
