PLAIN DEAL FOR PRINCE.

Congressman George W. Prince
has got into a hornets nest down in

For a week or so after Con.

readers what he really meant In
hi. reference to government by
Injunction The one claimed that
be scored the courts and the other
that he upheld them. We listened
to that part of his address, aud are
not ready to hazard an opinion as to
what be really did mean. Mr.. Prince
has shown quite faculty for saying
things in such a manner as to leave
it an open question where to find
him, and causes one to charge him,
with good reason, of being hypn-
crit and a Judas Iscsriot. His sd-
dress on Labor day and what he said
about organized labor affords the
Plaindealer an opportunity to state a
few facts. II Mr.. Prince was hone st
last fall. when this Office had con-
troversy with the printers union OF
this city. and during which MIR.
Prince advised US to conduct our
business Independent of and regard
less OF the union,' saying that ne
would do so if he was in our place,
then his presence on the platform
and his address Oh Labor day WAS an
insult to every union labor man on
the grounds. But if he simply adj
vised us as he did. in order TO have
an excuse, and then, as he did SO

thus expressing her gratitude to the
memory of the founders Of that
splendid commonwealth, manifest
ing genuinely patriotic spirit. she
has set an exam pie creditable to the

promises is shown by the universal
testimony Of visitors.
OF the beautiful state aud munich
psi buildings. which. in part orna-
ment the grounds Of the exposition,
that Of Illinois is conspicuous in
architectural design and beauty, and
its adaptation to reception purposes.
Impressed with patriotic pur poses
and the results which flow from this
exposition. we would emphasize the
Importance Of energetic action on the
part OF the mayors OF cities and the
civic authorities generally through
the state. urging upon the people
their attendance at the exposition on
the date mentioned.
Special low rates are given by all
