"Esterliazy had come In town by one
of the roads from the north and went
TO the Southern Pacific depot to board

for his train he remembered that he
had some cabling to do and walked
over to the telegraph operator in the
building and asked for blank.
"The operator gave 1t to him. and the
Frenchman wrote out quite lengthy
coded cablegram and addressed 1t to u
private party In Paris. by this time
there were only a few moments left for
him to get aboard the train. and the

The General Assembly IL the sole re-

tended to be the peculiar guardian of
the rights Of the people. When the rep.
resentatives do their duty they de.
serve full need of recognition. When
they sacrifice the rights Of the people
they should be called sternly to ac-

Bad as were these bills. the means
employed to promote them were far
worse. Devious methods guided them
along their crooked course through tue
Legislature. The most adrOit, power
full and wealthy lobby ever seen In
Springfield urged them forward. All
this was a matter of public nOtOriety
when the bills We're pending. The
iiuctuating price for votes was rumored
from time to time through the places
where members and those Interested In
legislation were wont to cOngregate.
No person there of ordinary intelll-
gence who kept his eyes and ears open
could fail to be aware that improper
influences were being used.
The vicious practice of lOg-rolling
may probably be charged with some
Of the affirmative votes for these cor.
rupt twin measures. This unjustifia-
bic mode of conducting legislation en-.
ables a bold, venal minority to dOmi-
nate the body Of which they are mem
bers and procure the passage of the
most INSCRIPTIONS measures. The
time has come for the people to recOg'
nize and condemn such practices
Those members who yield to threats
or Establishments of this sort are moi
the kind Of legislative timber which il
needed. They ought to be rebuked and
they ought not to be sent back tC
Springfield.
Tainted and rotten to the cOre-thest
bills must be repealed. Much mis-
chief and permanent harm has already
resulted from their passage, but muci
more lies in the future. We call upoI
the friends of good government
throughout the State to put forth ev
cry legitimate effort to nominate ant
elect men pledged to vote for the repea
OF these laws. They must be erased
from the statutes Of Illinois. Let thu
voters see to it that legislative Judase!
do not betray them. Put none bu

Department are James NJ. WhittemOre.

DIR. CARROLL ON PORTO RICO.
While There He Formed n High
Opinion of the People.

New York. March 30.-Among the pas
sengers of the transport Buford, which ar
rived today, was DR.. H2eKL Carroll, of
Plainfeld, n. J., who has spent nearly
three months in Porto Rico as a special
commissioner for President Mckinley to
find out the best method OF applying civil
government to the island Dr. Carroll has
been for many years political and religious
editor of the Independent and had charge
OF the department of churches of the Elev-
enth Census. At President McKinley's
request he first visited Porto Rico in Octo-
Der and spent three weeks in San Juan
studying the condition of affairs there. He
was able to make only a superficial report
10 the President on his return and was
asked to go back and complete his exam
ination. DR.. Carroll returned to Porto
Rico on December 81 He was accompanied
by secretary and stenogrspher. Dr. Car
roll has a favorable opinion of the Porto
Ricans as material out OF which to make
American citizens. He took occasion in an
interview last night to differ emphatically
with the opinion of Colonel Hubbell, of the
Forty-seventh New York Volunteers. in
regard to Porto Rican honesty and SINGER
ity.
DR.. Carroll did his work in Porto Rico
in conjunction with Mai. Gen Guy
V. Henry, Military Governor OF the Island
He says he does not know what home
folk think of General Henry, but that no
one who has. stayed in Porto Rico long
enough to get under the surface at all can
help marveliDg at what General Henry
has accomplished. The results obtained
by General Henry are due to his warm
sympathy for the Porto Ricans, said Dr.
Carroll. Il shall have no hesitation" he
continued, in recommending territorial
form of government for Porto Rico. The
people are too bright, too ambitious, and
too anxious 10 become Americans to be

They deserve something better. Just what
form of temporal government | shall rec

an exercise by the people of the right 10
make local laws and elect local officers,
combined with a certain balancing power
on the part of the Government to keep
them from going too far in the reaction
from Spanish rule. In all my travels
through the island l did not find the
slightest disposition to object to Ameri-
can rule. On the other hand, l was told
repeatedly that il 1t would do any good
public protests would be sent to Wash

S O'Clock.
The subject of the lecture for the even
ing, entitled China, the Fiowery King
dom: The Country and It's People" will be
delivered by Commander Harrie Webster
of the United States Navy. This lecture
will strive to convey new idea of the
Elowery Kingdom and its people. The
manners and customs of this singular peo-
pie will be pictured and the methods OF
living, dying, marrying, and the peculiar
punishments will form a. portion OF the
subject given. Commander Webster's lee
ture will be illustrated by not less than
seventy-five lantern slides, mostly colored
to nature, made from photographs taken
by the lecturer during a cruise on the
