session of the Illinois legislature were
dictated by one senator, that every
thing this individual favored passed
both houses, while any measure he
was opposed to failed.
Every citizen of Illinois who is
familiar with the record Of the last
two or three general assemblies will
see the truth of Mr.. Northcotts
declarations. He does not state the
case any too strongly. When one
man and one gang usurp the rights
OF all citizens and dictate what shall
and what shall not become laws, and
these the mercenary creatures of the
corporations. the people no longer
rule. 1t must be CARING evil in
deed that can lead the lieutenant gov
ernor, the presiding officer of the SEN
ate, to proclaim the fact and appeal
for relief. The remedy is to turn the
gang out instead of trying to reform
them, as doubtless Mr.. Northcott
would suggest. The sooner the gang
and the party that it trains with are
turned out of power in this state the
better it will be for the people

No more terrible arraignment Of 8
party in power for rnfaithfulness and
corruption was ever made by one OF
it's oRa member than that made by
Lieut.. Gov. Northcott. of the republi.
can legislature of Illinois, in his re-
cent speech, heretofore reported in the
public press. The lieutenant gov
ernor declares that the days of legis.
Iation by the people and for the
people are past and he ought
to know something about the
matter. The lieutenant governor
spoke in no uncertain or ambiguous
terms, but cited instances to prove
mis- position. He asserted that legis-
latiOn is now accomplished by rings,
machines and com binations acting in
concert with the Hobbies which work
in the interests of large corporations.
He stated that the system had been
brought down to such a fine point
that whereas in times past each indi-
vidual corporation maintained a lobby
of its own, at the present time these
interests are comb ined and the same
lobby works in the interests of all the
railroads, while another com oine at
tends to the interests of manufacture
ers, and so on. The lieutenant gov
ernor went still further and declared
that all the laws passed at the last

a MEMBER of the cabinet is author
ity for saying that under that section
of the Platt amendment granting the
United States naval stations in Cuba,
the Cubans will be asked to permit
this country to maintain control over
MORO Castle, at the entrance to Ha.
vana harbor. 1t is the desire of the
president and his advisers, it is stat.
ed, to keep the American flag flying
at the gateway to Cuba and hold
there a sufficient force to meet any
emergency. This is very nice for the
United States, but it does not con.
tribute to the argument that Cuba i!
