ExCongressman William Lorimer,
of Chicago, in the Washington Post:
For two years when everybody
else was prospecting, hard times con-
tinued in our city. Now, at last,
our time has come. Our labor diff
culties were adjusted months ago,
it is positive comfort to ride along
the streets of Chicago and note the
activity. The amount Of buildings
in the city is almost incomprehensl:-
bic. Residences are going up by
the thousands, and not only are new
fctories building, but about every
factory already established in the
city is putting on additions to it's
plant. We have never seen such
prosperity. Our own brick yards
is an example. Our business year
begins in April, and since thaat time
we have paid out in wages $3.50, GEO
more than were paid out for similar
period last year.

A Reaction Has Set In.

Peoria Herald-Transcript.
From the number of democratic
mayors who have been elected i'm re
publican strongholds throughout
the United States we are forced to
the conclusion either that the demo
cratic candidates were much better
men than their opponents or else
that the reaction against the repub-
lican party has already set in. We
are inclined to believe that the cleo
ton to be held a year from this fall
will show that the latter is the cor
rect diagnosis OF the case.

Monday next, no boys under twenty
one years of age will be admitted to

it is difficult to enforce discipline on
that account. 1t is very demoralizing

The cOntractOrsare DESTROYS of hav-
ing the order modified to allow BOYS
over Is to be admitted to work in
the shops This will not affect so
many of the employees and allow the
contractors to secure the needed
help.
The failure Of the contractors to get
a sufficient number OF conyicts to do
the work required is because of the
quarantine which prevented bringing
prisoners into the penitentiary. This
the working force of convicts
and the contractors supplied their
places with boys, many OF whom
ought to bein school.
The new order may result in the
of factory rooms out

Element of the constitutional rights
of the United States TO acquire ter
ritory and hold the same as outlying
possessions without coming under
the provisions of the constitution, is
in circulation here and is finding
credence among well informed men.
1t is claimed that the supreme court
has for some time been holding its
decision in allegiance and has deter
mined not to make the same public
until the Fifty-ss zenith congress Is
about tOconvene.
III II SAD that re re court will decide
that the constitution follows the flag
and, therefore, the decision will be
against the government. III the de-
cision were rendered now, it is con-
tended, it would be necessary to have
an extra session of congress to deal
with the many questions which would
naturally arise from the altered sta
tus of the whole problem. The court
therefore, decided not to hand down
it's opinion until congress shall be pre-
pared to deal with the question in all
it's bearings.
Attention is called to-day to the
admission of FREDERICK Degetau, res
ident commissioner OF Porto Rico, to
practice before the supreme court
yesterday on motion OF solicitor
General Richards. Under the law, no
one not a citizen of the United States
can be admitted to practice before
supreme court The law of congress
under which the commissioner OF
Porto Rico holds his Office specifically
states that the commissioner must
be native of Porto Rico. The
action OF the supreme court yester-
day virtually atfirms the decision OF
the civil service commission, which
recently ruled that Porto Ricans
were, therefore, eligible to take the
examination for admission into the
government service. Under the rule
of the commission, as approved by
the president, no one'not a citizen OF
the United States is eligible to take
the civil service examination. Only
a few years ago a prominent Cana
dian lawyer sought admission to
practice before the supreme court, !
but he was denied the privilege on
the ground that he was not citizen
