A WORD TO THE CHICAGO TRIBUNr,

We take the following from a recent
issue Of the Chicago Tribune:
The Richmond UaD Times. one Of the
staunchest and most radical OF southern
organs, comes TO the front in no uncertain
manner as 10 Debs resistance to law and
his attempt To paralyze the commerce
OF the country. II says:
That part Of the resolution which SEN
ator call offered at the same time that
POpulist Kyle uttered his note of Voc
which demands an Investigation Of this
outbreak, Is one which should be prompt
~ adopted. Congress should appoint com
mittces to look into this matter and
frame such broad legislation i'm IN. inter-
est Of commerce between the States as
VIII make IL clearly unlawful To have
that commerce interferel with hereafter
upon any preteXt whatever. The subject
Is one which the trainers Of the Corcti-
tuition intended that the Federal Govern
ment should have complete control Of
and IT should promptly assert the u0wcrs
conferred upon II and protect the Amer
lean people In this. one of their most
vital rights. Meantime all good citizens
should let the administration know that
~ mas their cordial ana enthusiastic back
ing ana endorsement in every move II
shali make under the authority of exist
lhE laws 10 suppress the present disor-
uerS ana compel all discOntinuauce of at
tSnpts to interrupt the traffic and travel
vi me country. This is Uncle Sans nght.

This is a significant utterance. II eboue

Inc chicago Tribune belongs TO that
element In The northern States which
can look on no action or conduct Of tba |
southern people as inspired bv tba hirh
ana lofty sense of the duty which 4 citi-
zen owes 10 his country. In the eve and
mind OF that element there was ma no
triotic devotion TO country here d,r,,,
the war. but we We're simply "rehel,r
and traitors" inspired by a nendish 10
sire to pun down and DESTROY - ,.o,,,r,,
