TO ABOLISH TRUST LAW.
A Bill For That Purpose introduced
in Illinois Legislature.

A Bill For That Purpose Introduced
in Illinois Legislature.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 17.-In the
state senate today, bill repeating the
trust law came up as a special order on
second reading. The bill has in view
the countenancing of the formation of
the coal trusts to increase the price of
coal to enable operators to pay better
wages.
Senator Paisley offered an amendment
providing that in case the price of the
commodity is increased through the con-
sideration OF corporations, one half of the
increase shall be added to the employees
wages Failing 10 comply, a corporation
shall incur a penalty of from $4,000 to
$20,0JO
Senator Green spoke against the meas
ure, stating that it wiped from the statute
books the trust law. He said that re-
gardless of the fact that the miners had
signed petitions for the passage of the
bill, they did not want it. In his district
those who signed had done SO under du-
ress. The petitions we're circulated by
the operators, and the men fearing dis
/ charge, had signed.
! Senator Craig supported Senator Green
! in opposition to the measure aud as
/ serted that the operators were clamoring
! for the annullmenL OF the trust law for
! their own welfare.
Senator Little said that he introduced
the bill by request and that he was urged
in its passage as he held petitions signed
| by over 5000 miners asking II.
Senator Green moved to strike out the
! enacting clause. The motion was de-
feated t-y 10 to 26

Gov. Morrill, Says Now Republican League
May Do as It Likes.
In an interview today Gov. Morrill, said
he would do nothing to prevent or Sc
cure an Endorsement of his administra-
ton by the coming Republican league
convention.
He said that while the league had
never taken any part in the Endorsement
or criticism of any administration it
might do so if the members were so in
clined, but it is his understanding that
the object of the league is to build up
rather than break down the Republican
party.
He says he has made about 100 ap-
pointments out of $500 applications. and
that the other 400 Republicans might
dsnOunce him, but he believed they had
tho much wisdom to be guilty of de-
nouncing an administration which has
not vet had d fair trial.

PLEDGED TO JOINTS.
D. R. Anthony Answers Gov.
MOrrills SpecioUs Excuses.
Says He Promised Not TO Enforce
ProhibitOry Law.
NOT PUBLIC FEELING.
He is Simply Carrying Out Ante
Election Promises.
Asks Why the Governor Doesn't
Say so Honestly.
He Has Positive Proof of What
He Says.

Col. D. R. Anthony says Governor
Morrill, makes a misstatement when he
says he is not enforcing the prohibitory
law in certain cities because public sem
timent is against it.
Colonel Anthony, in his paper, the
Leavenworth Times, today refers to
Major L O. Pickering's letter to Governor
Morrill, and DR.. Brumbaugh's reply to
the governors interview by saying:
pickering knows, and Brum baugh
seems to know. and we have positive in
formation that the reason Gov. Morrill,
does not enforce the law in some cities,
or in any city, is not, as he says, that
public sentiment is against it, but be-
cause he pledged the people before cleo
tion that he would not enforce it, and he
is simply living up to his promises, as he
should.
"But why should he prevaricate about
it? He surely sees now the mistake he
made in not telling the truth as to why
he does not enforce the law. But he
thought to shift the RESPONSE bility. Nor
rill was elected on pledges that he would
break the law and he is not breaking
those pledges"
Continuing Colonel Anthony gives his
old enemy, the chairman of the state
central committee, side blow by saying:
EVERY little one-horse town in the
state that wants joint can have one
Cy Lyand knows that if the joints were
all closed the people would lose their
taste for apple jack and how could he
fix future conventions without his little
jug?
pickering knows he has Morrill,
caught in lie and he is using the in
formation to get in few blows below
the belt for himself and against the gov
ernor"
