last. The substance Of that report.
it comes on reliable authority, is that
no invasion was made. This is the
conclusion the Iowa executive has
reached on the strength OF the inves-
LEGATIONS of his broad-gusged adju-
taut general, who found out so much

that he cried ''hold. enough" 1t is
not to be doubted that Gov. Drake

Wright in yielding to q ten
dency to shield his own militia.
men where the least opportunity
was offered. But it is fact,
nevertheless, that an outrage has
been committed in so doing. The
proof was 80 conclusive and positive
that the Iowa militia had
sent their arms into Illinois to op.
press the citizens of this state that
the Iowa authorities could not fail to
be impressed that wrong had been
committed upon sister state. and
they should have been broad-minded
enough to have shown some evidence
Of regret for such an occurrence.
The proof is abundant, not only In
Rock Island, which Gen. Wright recog-
nized while here, but in the city OF
Clinton, had Geo. Wright cared to
have 1t, that the Iowa company'e
guns we're brought into this state.
Peculiar Case.
The case is peculiar one, as I'M.
der the military code of Illinois,
there is no provision for desling E
with an invasion of this kind, al.
though the law is explicit where the
arms of the state militia are taken
from the state. Iowa, too, has just
such law, the superstition being
that in such an event as has
arisen, any state would properly
make retribution to the offended
state by dealing with the violators
of its own laws. 1t is purely mat.
ter Of honor between the two states,
and it is the unwritten law of honor
that binds together the sisterhood Of
the union that Iowa has seen fit to
disregard and violate.
Under these circumstances Illinois
might have redress under the
criminal code act, by indicting the
Iowans for rioting. Yet such a course
would be useless to attempt, AZ
Whiteside county would have to do
the indicting, and 1t is not necessary
to expatiste on the zeal with which
the criminal procedure would b.
prosecuted against Fulton's lows
allies, while even in the event of In.
dictment the process Of extraditior
would doubtless meet with the same
disposition on the part of the Iowa
executive a. has the plea of Illinois
for PREPARATION for the misconduct Of
the Hawkeye soldiers on the Illinoil
side.
1t 10 matter, however, tina
should not be permitted to rest, and
will not if Gov. Tanner is as persist
ent as he should be.

mastery of the theory and practice of in

forced absence from thu ccntcri, have been
taken from the Hudson river school The

of that period. But tho art sense and the
art enthusiasm are his, just the same. He

that real art feeling had been aroused
