FAIR SPORT WAS PROVIDED
Opening Day Of the Grange Camp As
sociation Meeting Satisfactory.
WINNERS AT LIBERAL PRICES
Upward Of 1900 People Attended the First
Days Races at the Alexander Island
Course and Were Furnished Good Sport.
W. B. Was the Only Favorite to Win.

The opening of the race meeting of the Grange
Camp Association on the Alexander Island
course yesterday was a pronounced success.
There were about $500 people present and the
programme of five races was run off without
hitch Starter Cassidy made very favorable
beginning, and showed he meant to control the
jocks by sending of the starters in the first race
with Major Joe left He waited for nearly thirty
minutes because of Joe and Slack's anxiety to
break in front with Detroit The latter got away
last
In the last race he mado his only poor start,
leaving Upstart while several of the others got
away badly. The time made in the several
events Was very fair. There were six books, and
the odds offered were liberal and attractive.
The most popular victory of the day was that OF
w. b. in the third, while Key West also brought
Joy to those who were on at a good price
In the opening event Ella was always the IA
vorite, but although she got away well she failed
TO keep up and was beaten by Key West, Post
master, and Criterion
The two-year-old race was considered very
open affair as far as betting was concerned.
Magnet was first choice, while Miss Modred,
Evelyn Carter FLY, and Katie Gray were all
played. There were several breakaways, but
in the actual race Miss Modred handled her field
in easy fashion, winning easily.
W. Is was fayorlte, with Hollywood an indiffer-
cnt second choice. The fayorite got away well,
and coming away i'll the stretch won hands
down, with Blackwood in the place.
The fourth race produced considerable betting,
with \. o. ii. the best fancied, Syracuse and
Miracle also being well supported. Miracle had
n commanding lead ut the furlong pole, but
broke down, Syracuse getting up in the last few
strides and winning by head.
The closing event was thought TO be good
thing for Fernwood, but Queen dor got of in
vorite being second. Diayolo ran good race,
getting off poorly and finishing third.

BUDGET BILL DISCUSSED.
Tho Liberals Score a Signal Victory an,
the Conservatives Defeated.

Tho Liberals Score a Signal Victory and
the Conservatives Defeated.
LONDON May 24.-The long expected debate on
the budget bill, which was expected in some
quarters to prove the downfall of Lord Rose
bery's ministry, was opened this afternoon with
gun fired by Sir John Lubbock, liberal union
ist, member for London University, who moved
In the House of Commons that the budget COM
mittee be empowered to divide the budget bill
into two parts and TO enbody the provisions re-
specting the sinking fund in n different measure.
Sir William Harcourt in reply said shat the
object Of this motion was TO revert 10 the system
by which the House of Lords would be able to
overthrow financial measures emanating from
the House OF Commons This system had al
roady been condemned by Disraeli and Palmer
ston and by the committee of the House Of Com
mons. Loud cheers
Another reason for Sir John Lubbock's motion
was TO waste the time of the house by involving
1t In two bills and in two separate statements
from the committee and in two third readings
At the present time also there were special rea-
sons why the Commons should preserve absolute
control Of the finances Of the country Mr.
Goshen, chancellor of the exchequer under Lord
Salsbury's administration and several minor
conservatives supported the notion after which
a division was taken with the result that it was
rejected by vote of 16l to 121 a majority Of 40
for the government
The announcement Of the governments vic
tory was greeted with prolonged Liberal cheers
Later two other Conservative instructions 10
tho budget committee were ruled out of ORDER
and the house went into committee of the whole
amid renewed Liberal cheering

Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1894-07-28

Those who are criticislng President
Cleveland on account of his action
during the strike, and deploring the
alleged evil tendency of such interior
ence, do not present the case accord
ing to the facts. There is no such
issue as the one upon which they
discourse so gravely and so indignant
~. Federal soldiers were not sent to
Chicago for the purpose of suppressed.
ing the local authorities in any of
their Legitimate functions. There was
no attempt to substitute Federal for
State authority in the control and
management of local affairs. The
Mayor of Chicago and Governor Of
Illinois were respectively left free to
use their official power for the preser-
walton of life and property. No OBJ
struction was put in the way Of the
most effective service on the part Of
the police and the militia. But Fed.
eral laws we're being violated and the
orders Of Federal courts disobeyed,
and to that extent the matter came
within the scope of the Presidents
authority and responsibility. 1t was
not even a question Of expedience
with him, but of direct and imperative
duty. If only the breaking Of local
laws had been involved, he would not
have had the right to act without q
request from the Governor or Legisla-
tnre of the State, but as it was, his
interference became necessity.
The distinction between an unau.
thorized assertion Of Federal power
in the affairs Of State and an unau-
thorized use OF such power regardless
of State lines is so plain that it need
not be misunderstood by any intelli.
gent citizen. President Cleveland
was duly notified that the transmission
of the United States mails was inter.
rupted and the course Of interstate
commerce impeded by an organized
force. In the face Of such a situation
he was not obliged TO wait for any
other officer to make formal reauis-
ition for Federal troops His duty
