Springfield, ILL.,, April PA move
ment was set on foot by Representa-
tive Jones of Green county in the
legislature which, il carried out, will
practically sever Cook county tChi-
cago) from the state of Illinois. Ii
was in the form of a joint resolution
providing that the question of giving
Cook county separate government
from the rest Of the state shall be sub
mitted to a vote of the people. The
resolution recites that the rapid and
unprecedented growth of Chicago rem.
ders Ii necessary for special laws to
be enacted at every legislature.
The interests of Chicago are In many
instances directly opposed to those OF
the state at large aud, therefore, in
justice must be done one section In
order TO benefit the other. 1t is, there
fore, resolved that there be submitted
to the people for their ratification or
rejection at their next general election
an amendment to take place of sec
ton of article 10 Of the constitution.
The amendment provides that on
and after Jan. /, 1885, Cook county
shall be governed by general assem-
bly, composed Of seventeen senator's
and tifty-one representatives. Proyi-
sion is made for the division of Cook
county into districts and the general
election laws OF the state shall gov
ern the election of such senators and
representatives. The general ASSEM-
bly, of Cook county shall pass the laws
necessary to administer justice in the
county; all present judicial officers
shall hold their respective positions
until the expiration of the terms for
which they are elected
In addition thereto the said general
assembly shall provide for supreme
court of five members to be elected
for a term Of nine years. All crimi-
nails and insane persons confined in
state institutions outside of Cook
county shall, upon the adoption of the
amendment, be removed to institu-
tons In Cook county. No tax may be
levied on Cook county for use outside
Of ita boundary, and Cook county can
not draw money from the state treas
ury, but it shall receive its proportion
ate share Of the revenue of the Illinois
Central railroad.
The members Of the Cook { nnty
general assembly shall only sit with
the general assembly of Illinois during
the election of a United States sena-
tor to congress and during the Inn
parchment of state officers. but can
vote on no other matters. No bills
passed by the Cook county legislature
shall become laws until signed by the
presiding officers of each house and
by the governor of the state unless
they shall have received two-thirds
vote of each house. All state buildings
in Cook county shall be transferred
to Cook county to be used as the Cook
county assembly may direct.

as to defy discovery; but she bad never

One o'clock chimed out from the

The editor Of this paper has inter-

Of the article mentioned.
This case came under the writer's

CHAPTER NJ.


The last evening train brought down
Sir Lionel Stanhope for whom the de-
tective had telegraphed. He asked at
once at the village inn for Mr.. Benson,
and for the few moments that he was
alone, stood shading his eyes with his
banda stern gravity on brow and
lip. He did not doubt his wife for
one instant; he knew that she would
never swerve from her faith. But
could thought be always captive under
the iron hand of duty?'
He reused himself as the detective
entered, and the tinge of hauteur in
Sir Lionel's manner rendered poor Mr..
Benson's task the reverse of agreeable
He plunged into it, however.
II have to inform you, Sir Lionel, :"
he said, that the man who last year
stole her ladyship's jewels is no other
than a gentleman well known to you
and Lady Stanhope-Mr Reginald
Werner"
For one brief second there was 81

his views of the matter.

him with being so still. In plain terms
Lady Stanhope is sheltering her lover.
Pardon me If ] seem too bold
Every word had been like dagger
thrust to this mans proud heart but
not SO much as the culver Of an eye
lid betrayed how deeply the sting
went. He spoke in a measured voice
at last.

"But, Sir Lionel" the detective re-

scorn in the patrician's quiet tone.

mine. Enough he added, with
change of manner. You have had

on your being absolutely silent on all
points connected with this case And
