AppoRTIoNMiENT CASE DECIDED.

Judge Creighton Says the Legislature Is
Supreme-An Appeal Granted.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 20. Judge
Creighton has decided In the Populist mp
portionmcnt suit that the Legislature Is su-
preme In dividing the state into districts.
The wholc day was devoted to argument
of the case on the demurrer Of the state.
in support Of which arguments were made
by States Attorney Graham, Delos i.
Phelps, and Attorney General Moloney.
The Populists were represented by II. G.
Jones, and the Republicans by ex-Assist-
ant Attorney General Smith. At the con-
clusion Of tho argument Judge Creighton
was ready with his decision.
He said that the cnse was identical with
the Danville case and the same issues were
involved. The constitution fixes mini
mum and maximum Of population and all
between these Is within Legislative discre-
tion. Concerning contguity the constitu-
tion requires district to be of contiguous
territory and that clause withholds from
the legislature the power to form district
Of parts wholly disconnected. That Is con-
tugious which touches and the degree Of
contiguity IN II matter wholly within leg
AsublNS ulhCIetlOu
Concerning compactness IL was the only
debatable question in the case, and has no
reference to shape, but refers to quality of
solidity, and rs to mere shape Of u district
that question was wholly with legislative
discretion. So long as legislation Is con-
fined within constitutional limits no court
has power to question the motives. With
In the realm Of its discretion each de-
partment of state government Is absolute
ly supreme.
Concluding, Judge Creighton said; ~
hold tho not of lB72 was constitutional,
the act Of 1882 was constitutional,
and the net of 1901 IL constitutional and is
now In force. Ii ono or more of these
three acts are held unconstitutional all
must be, for all were framed by the same
rules Of constitutional construction and
Legislative discretion, and differ in results,
II at all, only In u degree 50 slight M not
to call upon the court to discriminate in
favor of one of them and against the
other"
AT tho conclusion OF the opinion com.
plainant Immediately prayed IN appeal to
the state supreme court, which was ut
once granted and ten days given In which
to file bill of exceptions aud bonds.

GOV. ALTGELD'S REPLY.
DOES NOT THINK MUCH OF THE AR
N BITRATioN PLAN,

Because i'm the Illinois Governors Opfn-
Ion the Operators Would Not Agree
All Reported Quiet at the Late Seats OF
War In the Prairie State.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 30.--Governor
Altgeld, who was Mt Chicago when the
Pjttsburg Posts telegram reached here
proposing an arbitration board of gov
ernors OF bituminous coal states to settle
the strike, has arrived at the executive
office. While at Chicago he replied to the
telegram as follows; Il will gladly do
anything I can to assist in settling the
present strike, but inasmuch as the board
you suggest would have no power to COM
pei anybody to appear before it. and could
not compel submission on the part of
those unscrupulous operators who precipi-
tated the strike by reducing wages to the
starvation point and who are profting by
the present troubles, fear little could be
accomplished because honest operators
who nre ready to make any fair arrange
ments could not compete with those who
refuse to respect the decision Of any board
Consequently even those operators who
are most anxious to settle the strike would
keep aloof."

The Tribune Of last week In an
editorial article frankly and with
guilelessness said:
To insure the best results there
should be implicit confidence In and
respect for party leaders. This can be
attained only when leaders duly con-
slider the interests and wishes Of all
elements Of the party, and are COVER
ened by determination to serve the
party, and incidentally the state and
country; refraining from using the
power Of leadership for the advance
ment of any personal cause.
That Is just 1t; and that is why we
don't want your party, Mr.. Tribune.
Its leaders are for party, first and in
cidentally for state and country, and
that Is just the reason why they were
kicked out OF control of both state
and country. Very many Of these same
leaders are for n high tariff, first for
"protection," and incidentally for the
support of the government, and for
this purpose are they banded together.
We have for some time suspicloned
that they were governed by "a deter
mination to serve the party, and
incidently the state and country but
have not before found the main plank
In their platform so truthfully and
tersely stated as 1t Is In the above
quotation from The Tribune Of last
week.
