Signs the Bill Under Protest.

Gov. Yates has signed the Mueller
traction measure under protest and
with the threat that should there be
any dvantages-which is purely i'm
aginary-taken of the measure in
Chicago. he will call the Legislature
in special session and have the bill
repealed. The bill. which is designed
to aid the people of Chicago in Sc
curing proper street railway advan-
tages. was fought in the legislature
by the Ier-Yates ring, and
il was a desperate determination to
defeat it that finally drove the speak
er TO defy the will and rights of the
ma jority in the house in a manner
that resulted in his being driven from
his chair. Gov. Yates has simply
signed the bill because he did not
dare do otherwise. but he has shown
his feelings in the message with
which he accompanies his action.
The governor has signed number
of other bills, including the bill to re-
peal the indeterminate sentence law,
the Torrens law amendment. the me-
chanics lien bill. the tax levy bill -
though under protest-the child labor
bill, the bill revising the law in rela-
ton to reporting births and deaths.
and the bill placing states attorneys
on salary instead of under the fee
system, and a large grist of minor
measures.
Gov. Yates has vetoed Senator
CIarks bill to establish a state board
of dental examiners. The bill provides
that the board should consist of five
members, three to be appointed upon
the recommendation of the Illinois
Dental society. This restriction in the
appointment of the members of the
board is the main reason given by
the governor for his disapprOval.

Pennsxlvania,s Press Muzzler.

The new Pennsylvania libel law,
popularity known as the press muz-
zler," was the personal conception OF
Senator Quay, who took advantage
of the weakness and wounded vanity
of Gov. Pennypacker. to give 1T
place among the revised statutes Of
the keystone state. Gov. Pennypack-
er graduated into the Quay school of
politics from the bench, of which he
had been Il distinguished but not lum-
nous adornment. He has sensitive
soul. He believes Il man who had
been judge ought to be free from
vulgar criticism and ridicule. During
his own campaign for governor he
| was a shining target for the sharp
shooters of the state press. They
fairly triddled him. They recognized
his weakness and held them up to the
laughter and ridicule of the voters.
| Pennypacker never forgave the news
papers.
Pennsylvania already had a libel law
| that was severer and more drastic
than the law of any other state in the
union. 1t Will be recalled in Illinois
that the legislature of that state i'll
| 1897 undertook to pass Il libel law
which would render the publications
of newspapers impossible. That was
the legislature which passed the Allen
| bill and a few other malodorouS meas
ures. Its members, or at least those
| of them who were actively identified
with the legislation which received
the condemnation of the people, be-
| lieved that the press enjoyed too much
license. Their view was upheld by
| every CRATER. promoter and lobbyist
in Springfield. The man who intro
duced the bill in question simply
copied the Pennsylvania statute as
it then existed. 1t was universally de-
nounced as the most dangerous in
vasion of the right of a free press
that had ever been undertaken in Il
western state.
The law that the bondlerS and
grafters of the Illinois legislature
| thought was sufficient to muzzle the
press of Illinois was not drastic
enough for the purposes of Quay. He
needed the addition of ingenious
amendments to bring it up to the de
sired state of perfection. The uniyer-
sal belief i that Quay has finally
overreached himself. He was doing
very well under the old libel law.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Notwithstanding and the Supreme
Judicial Election.

The Chicago Tribune of May Is
said editorially, referring to the com
ing election in the supreme judicial
district: The office to be filled is
not a political or administrative one,
and voters should not be influenced
by party affiliations in the selection
of a Judge
How the Tribune can figure that
this advice to the voters of this dis
trict can inure to the benefit of Judge
can determine. In the first place,
Judge Carter, through his friends in
he legislature, secured the enactment
of the outrageous gerrymander law.
whereby the voters of Scott and Pike
counties were DISTINGUISHED and de
prived of the right to vote at all for
judge of the supreme court; and by
the same token the voters of Rock
Island. Mercer, Henderson and War
rem counties were authorized to vote
for two judges of the supreme court
for practically the same term, those
counties formerly being a part of the
district represented by Judge Hand,
who was elected in June. 1900.
\ glance at the political complex
ion of the above named counties will
quickly show why Judge Carter de-
sired the change in the district. Pike
and Scott counties are strongly dem
ocratic, while Rock Island, Mercer,
Henderson and Warren are strongly
| republican.
While the gerrymander was being
effected Judge Carter, by means of
snap conventions. secured delegates
| instructed for him to the supreme ju-
dicial convention to be called after
his gerrymander plans had been con-
summated, thus preventing the nomi-
nation of anyone but himself.
We agree with the sentiment ex-
pressed by the Tribune. The judici-
airy should be divorced from politics.
But does the Tribune think that any
of its readers who conscientiously
follow it's advice can vote for Judge
Carter, who has openly dragged his
high office into the mire of politics?
We believe, further, that the people
generally agree with the sentiment
expressed by the Tribune, and for

Seeking to Block the Postal Inquiry

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune tells of the~at-
tempts on the part of Postmaster
General Payne to effectually block
further ipquiry into the scandals of
the postoffice department. Says the
Tribune's Washington representative:
Something much like a sensation
was created today by the publication
of the copious extracts from the
charges submitted to the postmaster
general by Seymour w. Tulloch, for
mer cashier in the Washington city
pOstoffice. In view of the statement
made officially only last Saturday by
the postmaster general himself that
the Tulloch charges were merely
stump speeches, unworthy of serious
consideration, the officials and the
publicN generally were entirely unpre-
pared for the wealth of detail and the
serious character of the offenses
charged by Tulloch. General surprise
is expire scd also that the postmaster
general should have failed to appreci-
ate the scandalous nature of these
charges. He gave another audience
to the correspondents today, at which
he repeated his declaration, with con-

500 Reward 500

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
strOying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in it's curative powers that they offer
500 for any case that it fails to cure.
