In Spite of the Restrictions Placed Upo,
This Feature by Congress.

In Spite of the Restrictions Placed Upon
This Feature by Congress.
CHICAGO, May 12.--On and after May
81 the Worlds Fair grounds will be
open every Sunday. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the directors of
the exposition this afternoon. President
Higinbothan had called upon Edwin
Walker, who Is chairman of the COM
mittee on legislation, to submit an opin-
Ion whether or not the exposition can
be opened on the seventh day in spite of
the restriction placed upon this feature
by Congress when the appropriation of
S2,500.000 was granted.
Walker presented his official and
legal interpretation before the direc-
tors, which is to the effect that the law
passed by Congress STIMULATING that the
exposition should be closed on Sunday
applies only to the building containing
exhibits. Walkers construction of the
act further says that buildings erected
for other uses, the grounds, midway
plaisance, with its varied human pan.
Drama and things pertaining thereto,
may be thrown open to public inspec-
ton. After considerable discussion a
resolution was proposed to open the
gates every Sunday on and after May
II and to close the main building con-
tanning exhibits.
The resolution was carried by vote
of 90 2. or the seven who voted nay
six we're in favor of opening the fair in
every department and the seventh was
opposed to opening the gates under any
conditions. Thus upon the technically
named The Columbian Fair will be to
all intents and purposes open, leaving
the public to visit throughout the
grounds, to ride on electric launches, to
enjoy the novelties of the Venitian
gondolae, to patronize any of the booths
varied attractions of the plaisance and
to have @ good time generally. The
price OF admission on Sunday will be
reduced to IS cents

"Panic"
SAINT LEWIS, N. Q.
Mr.. EDTToR:-I judge from the tone
and spirit of your editorials that you
know exactly where you are at, and
that you are keeping right along in the
middle of the road, hewing TO the line
of equal rights to all and special favors
to none; and the interest which you
seem to take in your work, and that
you may be encouraged, Isuppose you
would like to hear from the boys all
along the line, more especially after
such a chilly wave with such cyclonic
threats; and it affords me much pleas
ure to say to you that Alliance No. 753
has safely passed through that cold and
stormy political winter and yet exists
in defiance of that reckless wrecking
machine of the last legislature, which
machine will prove to be a boomerang
in the old camp when it returns in two
and four years hence. Here as at other
places in the State the Alliance In part
and other reformers, through doubts
and fears, voted the National Demo.
cratic ticket. This they did for want
of confidence in the success of the re,
form ticket and not from choice; but
believing that the only hope of success
to make step forward at present
lay between two evils, and of course
in their best judgment took the lesser
of the two.
Now, sir, some may say from the
tone and spirit of this letter that the
writer and the people of this section
are not true Democrats; if so I deny
the charge, but we are not this kind
of Democrats for party sake and Office,
but we are Democrats by principle
only, and that is just the kind of Dem.
ocrats that cannot longer be led by so
called Democratic office seeking leaders
into Republican camps simply to in.
dorse or satisfy the Republican statutes,
which Is so unjust and has brought
such hardships upon the farmers and
laborers of this country; and now, as
certain as the sun shines, if there is
not something done when Congress
meets besides ratifying the Republican
statutes, or make matters worse by
repeating and not substituting some
thing better, there will be another
panic, like the financial panic, which
is said to exist for the want of conf
dence. In two and four years hence
will be tn greatest political revolution
or panic for want of confidence you
have ever heard of. Watch my pre-
diction for l know whereof l speak.
This Alliance is stronger in members,
manhood, brains and wealth and more
determined that equal rights to all and
special favors to none sha l prevail
than ever before, and this reform spirit
is not only in the Alliance but seemste
be epidemic and the whole people seem
to be affected. ~ j. I. LEWIS.

CHECKED,

President Cleveland's Acknowledgement
has received much-needed lesson at the
hands of Judge Ross. The great trust
lawyer advised the United States District
Attorney foi Los Angeles that there are
no funds in the treasury for the execution
of the Geary act, as far as that act pro-
vides for the deportation of Chinese who
have not procured certificates of residence.
The Inference TO be drawn from the At
torney y-GeneraPs letter of advice is that
there were funds for the deportation of
Chinese who have come into the country
In violation of the Scott act of 1888, but
none for the deportation of Chinese who
have refused to comply with the pro-
visions Of the Geary act. The distinctions
the Attorney-General perceivss fail to
impress Judge Ross. If Chinese laborer
is unlawfuly in the country it does rot,
in the opinion of Judge Ross, make much
difference what particular law he has vio-
lated The instructions forwarded to the
District Attorney by the Acknowledgement
are In keeping with the general policy Of
the administration Of which the Attorney
General is part Mr.. Cleveland has
taken upon himself the responsibility of
legls Iation, and it is quits within that line
OF action that he should point out clauses
In law which might be enforced and
clauses which should be evaded. The
comments of Judge Ross as published in
Wednesdays CALL are refreshing reading.
