pendent press that Congress enacted
law to meet sucn cases; it was known as
the ''press gag law and somehow was
not popular. Mr.. Butler also threw him
self into the breach, and upon frequent |
occs sions denounced the press as mali |
cious. mischievous, and false, and once he |
recognized its superiority by character
ling it as rty-jackass lnud-throwing
power Notwithstanding all this the
statesman of the period continues to COM
] plain of being lied about, and every little
while some new one is doubled up with it,
as with sudden cramp.
| Mr.. King Of Minnesota has got it: A
very bad case. He went to Canada by
advice of counsel when it first broke out,
and the consequences was it went very
hard with him. The Minnesota Legisla-
ture took a hand in discussing it,, and
William stood up and ''cussed'' them
from afar by mail. The press INDUCED
in reflection and comment upon the case,
and he passed it over in silence. A COM
mittee called aloud for him, but to those
remote barren regions where he had gone
for treatment no committees voice coalo
pierce; he heard no committee. dep
uty Sergeant-at-Arms waited on hlm Win
a summons he treated the officer with
consideration and the summons with
contempt, and then when Con
gress had adjourned he dropped down TO
Washington and demanded OF postmaster
General Jewell the removal of the Mime
apolis postmaster. His calmness amused
Mr.. Jewell. That functionary smiled
upon Mr.. Kings insisting upon being re-
cognizcd as the representative Of the Min
neapolis District, and consequently en-
,, titled to the patronage of the District
could anything be funnier than that
Mr.. Jewell intimated that there was just
shade of doubt about his being admitted
to the next Congress. And then W illlam
stated to the Postmaster-General tina, he
had been lied about. Another plain case.
And vet in spite of it Mr.. jewell declined
; to remove the Minneapolis Postmaster
!. This is the worst case yet. Couldn, 7
; even get Postmaster removed
; Just because he had been lied
! about! No wonder that the next
= day. in company with ex-senator Ram

,, failed of reelection IN consequence, N
waited upon Mr.. Jewell in the street
: and demanded to be indicated by the re

But Gov. Jewell, who has been doinl
