tGen. Palmer is 70 years old, but has all the
physical vigOr of strong man of 50. Hehas
been closely identified with Illinois politics
for forty years, having been a leader in both
parties, and by each given all the honors it
had to bestow. Up to the opening of the war
Palmer was Il democrat, but had never held
office. He went into the war as a colonel
and came out major general After the
war he affiliated with the repub-
lican party, and in 1868 he was elect
ed governor. When the great Chicago
fire occurred, Gen. Sheridan, who was then
stationed in that city, without consulting
the governor, took it upon himself to guard
the city Col GrOsvenor, veteran and
well known citizen, was shot and killed by
a sentry because he did not answer a chal-
lenge promptly. Then Gov. Palmer in
formed Gen. Sheridan that when the state
needed the assistance of the United States
government it would ask for it through its
proper representatives,. He also tele-
graphed President Grant that if the
federal troops were not at once with
drawn from Chicago, he would call out the
state militia and drive them out. The gov
ernor being clearly in the right the presi-
dent instructed Gen. Sheridan to take away
his soldiers and the state policed the city.
In 1872 Gen. Palmers term governor
ended, and about that time he ceased all
connection with the republican party, and
soon after openly rejOned the democrats.
Since then, while always active in the
councils of that organization, he was little
seen in public life, quietly practicing
law in Springfield until 1883, when he
democrats nominated him for governor.
During that camgaign he made speeches in
every county in the state He was beaten by
Gov. Fifer. but by only L, 900 votes, President
Harrison receiving majority of over % 900.
Last year he was nominated at the demo-
cratic state convention for the United States
senate to succeed Senator Farweli,
the idea being that such nomination
came as close to clectng senator by
| popular vote of the people as can be gotten at
under existing laws The general again
took the stump as a candidate for his party,
! and canyassed the state, as he did three
| years ago when running for governor. In
| conference with the representatives of the
| F. NJ Il. A. he said although his health was
| admirable he had nearly reached the limit
| of political activity, and would regard his
| election to the United States senate as
browning honor.

y Risky rip Across the English Channel
Described.
LONDON, March 12.-Capt. Shirley,
of the club-train boat running between
Calais and Dover gives an interesting
description of his voyage across the
channel during the tremendous storm
of last Monday night. The steamer
left DO-er nine hours late with but a
few Of The twenty-one passengers who
had en aged passage on board. Among
those Tho decided to await at Dover
the al atement of the storm was the
Duche-s of Edinburgh. A terrible
storm of wind and snow prevailed
throughout the voyage, and the cap
tain vas compelled to take repeated
soundings. Great seas continually
swept over the vessel. Continuing
his narrative, Capt. Shirley says: Il
guessed we had arrived at Calais after
two hours, but was unable to see the
lights, and, therefore, anchored with
two cables, luckily on a sandy bottom.
The engines were kept revolving
slowly to prevent dragging the anchor"
The captain speaks highly of the
fortitI,de of such lady passengers as
were on board during the long passage
of twelve hours and declares the night
to have been the worst he has ever
known. He marvels that his steamer
did not founder.

STAY OF EXECUTION.

Another Case of Trifiing with the United
States Supreme Court in an Effort to
ProIoug the Lives of Condemned Muir
derers.
New YORK. March 13.-The counsel
for Harris A. Smiley and James j. Slo-
cum presented petitions yesterday to
the United States court for writs of
habeas corpus with a view of saving
their clients from being put to death by
electricity during the week beginning
March 16. Judge Lacombe denied the
application for wr1ts, whereupon the
lawyers made an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, and Judge
LacOmbe gave them until the Esd inst.
in which to obtain a hearing.
Smiley is the salvation lieutenant
who murdered Maggie Drainey, one of
his three mistresses, January 3, 1890.
Slocum is the baseball player who
killed his wife.
The appeal from Judge Lacombe's
action in denying the writ will operate
as stay to the execution.

PALMER AFTER ALL.
The Long Senatorial Contest in
Illinois Ended
BY the Election of Gen. John NJ. Palmer

by Messrs. Moore and Cockreu,
f. NJ. Il. A. Men.

SPRIsGFIELD, ILL.,, March 1.-THE
greatest senatorial contest in the his
tory OF the state of Illinois came to an
end by the election of Gen. John NJ.
Palmer on the 18th ballot. Cockrell
and Moore voted with the democrats
and their colleague, Taubeneck, voted
for Streeter. The one hundred republic
ans voted solidly for Cicero J. Lindley.
The contest consumed more than fifty
days, and absorbed more than $3.50, 900 of
the peoples money. The battle has been
desperately fought Members have
voted for and against Palmer on couches
of suffering. The chamber of the joint
body has been little less than hospital
for weeks. Some of the scenes and in
cidents have been exceedingly touch

thought that before halt is called at

This idea of retrenchment will not be
carried to a point that will interfere

its adoption is made advisable because

PROFliGACY AND GREED.

The Political Exile of the Surplus-Spend-
ing Republicans.
The late Secretary Window had not
counted upon the fierce greed of his
party. He hoped and expected at the
end of his administration to leave sol
vent treasury. But even had he lived
it is hardly suppose bic that his infiU-
ence would have been sufficient to pro-
tect it from the systematic and organ
lied assaults of the surplus-spenders
during the last carnival season Of their
power.
For the current year Secretary Win
dom had estimated the revenues at
S472, 000,O 900 and the expenditures at
1920, 600, 900. For the next year he had
estimated the revenues at SAG, ,00C
and the expenditures at S431, 900, 900.
But the appropriations of the late con-
gress will swallow up all of Mr.. Win
doms estimated revenues and leave a
deficiency of from 10000, 900 to $780,
OOO.O 900. The deficiency is in full sight,
but the size of it can be determined only
after the treasury officers have unrav-
eled the tangle of reckless appropria-
tons and ascertained precisely how
much was swept out by the greedy rush
OF the banded jobbers.
May not the monopolists after all
have overreached themselves in thus
emptying the treasury of its surplus
and leaving a deficiency? How shall
the deficiency be met? Shall the gov
eminent borrow or shall we devise new
taxes? OF taxes the people will stand
no more. and the chances are that in
due time they will insist upon the re-
duction of tariff duties to a revenue
basis whereby to replace the money
squandered by the prohiAitory tariff
congress.
The virtue and intelligence of the peo-
pie are pretty fair reliance in the long
run. 1t may be safely assumed that
they will come to the rescue of the
treasury in good time, and that the late
excuses of the republicans have insured
their political exile for at least half a
century, or until new generation shall
arise which knew not the Fifty-frst
congress. Y. World.

auspices of the farmers alliance, which
began Tuesday was continued yester-
day. More than a thousand farmers

abolition of the army and navy. He

necessary, that would keep fortunes
at $1,000 He spoke two hours and
was repeatedly cheered.

Chicago Monday was a rough-looking
man who had in charge, a box said
to contain the body of child. The box

it, and, taking it in his arms,
proceeded toward the river. The box
was found on the ice in the river. Seat
tered around were a lot of straw and
quantity of rags to which pieces of flesh
adhered. The belief is that the box
contained a body which had been cut
up and sunk in the river. No trace of
the man who had accompanied the box
could be found.
