gines are at work than at any time this

"ExECUTIvE OFFICE,

v
Estate OF ILLINOIS, July 5th.
"Hon. G9'oUer Cleveland, President of the
United States, Wdshington-DEAR SIR: I
am advised that you have ordered Federal
troops to go into service in the State of
Illinois. Surely the facts have not been
correctly presented to you in this case. or
you would not have taken the step, for it
is wholly unnecessary, and. as it seems
to me, unjustifiable. Waving all ques-
tions of courtesy, 1 will say that the State
of Illinois is not only able to take care of
itself, but it stands ready to-day to fur
nish the Federal Government any assist
ance it may need elsewhere. Our mill
tary force is ample, and consists of as
good soldiers as can be found in the
country. They have been ordered
promptly whenever and wherever they
were needed. We have stationed in Chi
cago alone three regiments of infantry,
one battery and one troop of cavalry, and
no better soldiers can be found. They
have been ready every moment to go on
duty, and have been and are now eager to
go into service. But they have been or
dered out by no one in Cook County;
neiher official nor private citizen asked
to have their assistance or even inti-
mated in any way that their assistance
was desired or necessary.
$50 far as have been advised the local
official have been able to handle the stu
alton. But if any assistance were needed
the State stood ready to furnish hum
dred men for every one man required,
and stood ready to do so at q moments
notice. Notwithstanding these facts the
Federal Government has been applied to
by men who had political and selfish mo-
tives for wanting to ignore the State
Government.
'.We have just gone through long coal
strike, more extensive here than in any
other State, because of our soft coalfield
is larger than that of any other State. We
have now had ten days of the railroad
strike, and we have promptly furnished
military aid wherever the local officials
needed it. In two instances the United
States Marshal for the Southern District
of Illinois applied for assistance to en-
able him to enforce the processes of the
United States court, and troops were
promptly furnished him, and he was
assisted in every way he de-
sired. The law will be thor
oughly executed, and every man
found guilty of violating it during the
strike will be brought to justice. If the
Marshal for the Northern District of Illi-
nois, or the authorities of Cook county
need military assistance. they had but to
ask tor it in order TO get it from the State.
At present some of our railroads are
paralyZed, not by reason of distractions,
but because they cannot get men TO
operate their trains. For some reason
they are anxious to keep this fact from
the public, and for this purpose are MAX
to divert attention. Some days ago,
was advised that the business of one of
our railroads was obstructed at two rail-
road centers; that there was condition
bordering on anarchy, and was asked to
furnish protection so as to enable the en-

An Effective speech.

At meeting of the Temperance Union,
held in a small Pennsylvania city some
time since, the attendance consisted
wholly of white people, with one excep-
tion-the pastor of the African NJ. Il.
Church. He was full-blooded negro,
as black as the absence of light. The col
ored brother was requested to address the
meeting, and rising in his place he gazed
around upon his exclusively white audi
ence soleninly. Then he said: Brethren
and sisters, I feel exactly like huckle-
berry in a bowl of milk" 1t was the
most effective speech of the session.

BONES FOUND IN NEW york.

In Places Where Their Explosion
Meant Great Loss of Life.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Within the past
four days two bombs have been taken to
police headquarters. having been found
in places where their explosion meant
great loss of life and extensive damage to
property. The first bomb was found OH
Monday. and after being inspected was
sent to the Bureau of Combustibles.
Whether the bombs were meant for ship
ment or to work destruction here is not
known. The fact that Mr. Pullman has
been in this city and is now at Long
Branch lends some degree of pro liability
to the latter story.

MANAGER TONNES OFFER.
SAN Francisco, July 5.-In a commu-

eral Manager Towne of the Southern Pa
cific says: 81 notice statements in the
daily papers censuring the Southern Pa
cific Company for its alleged refusal to
run any trains because the strikers, now
in control of the road at many points. re-
fuse to permit trains with Pullman
sleeping-cars to be moved. From the
beginning of the present trouble the COM
pany has been willing, is now. and will
in the future be willing, to run all of its
trains. If prevented by physical force
or otherwise from running trains which
REQUIRE Pullman cars for the accommo-
dation of ordinary daily traffic, it will.
nevertheless, if permitted to do so, run
any or all freight trains or passenger
trains which do not require sleeping
cars.u
II. E. Huntington said to-day: "We
will run our trains as soon as we are able
to do so. Our property is in the hands of
United States Marshal Baldwin, and we
rely on him to afford protection. If he
