resolution was to take away the power Of the
United States to- punish such gross acts of vio-
ience II the acts CT violence had been COM
m1tted upon the great lakes or the high seas it
would have been piracy and punishable by
death. The authority Of the United States

It was time that such action should be taken
to put down the rising tide OF anarchy that
threatens to engulf tho city Of Chicago The
| military power OF the country was at last nee
essarlly called upon to put down the lawless-
ness. The senator from Kansas had said the

Ex-PRESlDENT HARRIsON's VIEW
| INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July l2.-Ex-President
Harrison claims to have been misquoted In ref
! erence to his opinion Of President Clevelands
action In ordering United States troops to Chi
| cagO. Said Mr.. Harrison: Il have neither said
| what am quoted as saying as to the use OF
/ United States troops by the president nor do
| think that the president has transcribed
! his power. On the other hand believe
| that there Is no spot in the United
| States where the United States troops may not
go under orders without asking anybodys con-
| sent. and that the enforcement OF the laws of
| the United States is the sworn duty OF the
/ president, and the army an appropriate instru-
ment to use in the enforcement of those laws
| where they are violently resisted and the civil
officers are unable to deal with the situation
! II the posse comitatus law limits the presi-
dents constitutional power at all, which is very
! doubtful.it only requires the proclamation to
precede the use Of troops
