WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. d. c.. Julv 13. l,

OF the staunchest sort, is known among
lawyers as an authority upon constitu.
. tional law. His resolution Offered as a
substitute to the resolution offered by
Senator Petler, of Kansas,) endorsing
President Cleveland and his admins
J tration for the prompt and vigorous
measures taken to repulse and repress
by military force the interference of
lawless men with the due process of laws
of the United States, and with COM
merce among the states" and declaring
that the action of the president and
his administration has the full support
and sympathy of the law-abiding masses
of the people of the United States, and
will be supported by all departments of
the government and by the power and
resources of the entire nation" would
have been Immediately adopted by a
nearly unanimous vote of the senate as
it was the next day-only PETER voting
against it-had not Senator Gallinger, of
New Hampshire, for some unexplained
reason caused it to 60 over a day under
the rules by objecting to vote thereon
and refusing to withdraw the objection,
although he was begged to do so by his
Republican colleagues.
Speaking of the situation Senator
Daniel said: 81 am a states rights
Democrat, and would be the last man to
stand idly by and see the authority of
the state encroached upon, but | fail to
see anything here that encroaches upon
the authority of the state of Illinois in
any way. The president is acting
entirely within the lines of the constitu
tion, and his action is to be commended
by all law abiding citizens, regardless of
their political predication or partisan
feeling"
This is the way the situation looks to
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, the Re-
publican whose raking down of PETER
will not soon be forgotten: 81 have
looked into this matter as a lawyer, and
my Judgment is that the president has
gone about this business as a LAWYER
He has considered his ground, become
acquainted with his authority and
powers, and then gone in to exercise
them in righteous cause and for the
good of the general public. He has not
exceeded his authority one whit; on the
contrary, he has not as yet exhausted it.
If the federal troops are not sufficient
for this emergency the state militia is at
his command. The president can swear
the militia of the various states into the
service of the United States, and then
send them to Chicago or any other point
where their mobilization may become
necessary. The constitution is broad
enough in this case, and the president is
intrenched upon it,"
President Cleveland and his cabinet
are almost swamped with kilograms
from every section of the country con-
graduating them on the courage and
promptness with which they brought
order out of chaos and prevented what
at one time might be revolution, and
volunteering aid to any imaginable ex-
tent, In both men and money. The
president and his advisers believe the
worst Is over, but they none the less
feel proud of the confidence reposed in
them by congress and the people and
will continue their efforts to deserve
confidence.
1t is Speaker Richardson now, if YOU
please, Representative Richardson, of
Tennessee, having been elected speaker
pro TEN. of the house during the alb
sence OF Speaker Crisp, who has been
called to Georgia by the serious illness
of his brother.
The Democrats of the tariff conference
committee have held daily meetings
this week, and the air is full of rumors
each contradictory to the other as to
what they haye done. These rumors
are nothing more than guesses as men,
Ders oil the conference will have nothing
to say until they report to their respec-
tive houses. s
Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness is caused hy an inhamed con-
