Tho President to Governor Aitgcid.
< n Governor Altgeld lives to be a
thousand years old he will never got a
finer dressing than he has received
from the President, who gives it to him
in q way that mocts the occasion and
COMFORTS with tho dignity Of the pres
dental oEicc. The governors letter
to the President is long, impertinsnt,
mischievous. The Presidents reply is
short, to the point, on the side OF the
preservation of order.
The governor challenges tho right OF
the President to interfere with rioters
who arc obstructing tho mail service
and defying the processes Of tho United
States courts. With quiet dignity tho
President reagserts that right aud re-
Dukes tho governor by telling him that
"there has boon no intention OF intcr-
fering with the plain duty of tho local
authorities to preserve tho peace of the
city" OF Chicago, which is in Governor
Altgelds jurisdiction.
Tho governor Of Illinois tells the
President that the facts have been mis-
reuresented to him. Tho fncts havo
not been misrcprescnted. Tho Prcd-
dent ia correctly informed oil a situation
that is observation-disclosures with the
rights of individuals, interference with
tho rights of corporations, obstruction
of interstate traffic and tho transport
tation Of tho mails; refusal 10 obey Che
mandates of the United States courts.
II the state aud municipal anthori-
ties arc ablo to deal with this situation
they have not done 1t. At all events
tho situation existed and appealed to
the President to use his constitutional
authority, which has been done with
great forboarancc.
In this emergency tho governor OF
Illinois has tcmporizcd with tho mob
to conciliato and draw i: to him for his
personal uses; tho President OF the
United States has followed the clearly
marked limo of his duty.

Blinn's, who was kind, good woman,
If she is in a foolish business; but

Minny evidently thought Mrs. Blinn
would tell on her and get the reward;
but Mrs. Blinn said she'd "a done by
Minny as her own child"
"Was that what made her come
west?" asked DIR. John.
''The poor little soul thought it her

It is a crime to treat father so. Even
