 An interesting Correspondence.
 Then followed a most interesting paT of the address, the reading Of the corre- spondence- which passed between Presl- dent Cleveland and Governor John r. Altgeld of Illinois. Of him MT. Cleveland said: ..rhis official not only refused 10 regard the riotous disturbances within the borders of his state as sufficient cause for an application to the iederai government for it's protection against do- nestle violence under the mandate or the constitution, but actually protested against the presence of federal troops sent into the state upon the general gov comments initiative and for the purpose of defending itself in the clearly defined exercise of its legitimate functions"
 The discussion following was illuminat- ing of the whole question of states rights and federal supremacy, concluding with this dispatch from MT. Cleveland:
 While I am still persuaded that have neither transcended my authority nor duty in the emergency that confronts us, 1t seems to me in this hour of danger and public distress, discussion may well give way to active efforts on the part of all in authority to restore obedience to law and to protect life and property" ssThis," said MT Cleveland, closed a discussion which in it's net result demon- strated how far ones disposition and in-

clination will lead him astray in the field of argument
 In closing Mr. Cleveland concluded with a brief reference to the legal pro- ceedings which grew out of this dis turbance, "and finally led to the adjudi- cation by the highest court in our land, establishing in an absolutely authorita- tive manner and for all time, the power of the national government to protect itself In the exercise of its functions
 In sustaining the action of the United States circuit court which ordered the imprisonment of Debs and his associate officers of the A. R. U. for disobeyinG it's injunctions, Mir. Cleveland said: ''The supreme court of the United States has written the conclud- ing words of this history, tragical in many of its details, and in every page provoking sober reflection. Nevertheless, even those most nearly related by execu- tive responsibility to the troubleous days whose story is told. may at this time congratulate themselves that they have had to do with marking out the way ana clearing the path, TOW unchangeably es- tnbllshed, that shall hereafter guide our nation safely and surely in the exercise of all the functions belonging to 1t whirh represent the peoples trust

Washington, May 2.-(speciaL) L)-Proba- ply the most noticeable feature of the comments of the press of the east on the session of congress just closed is the well earned praise betowed upon the mi- nority leader, Representative Williams of Mississippi. Even the republican pa pers are quick to acknowledge that his leadership has been all that could be desired.
 The New York Tribune in a column ed- itorial on the subject today says that he has in a single session demonstrated his exceptional fitness for the post he holds. and that no democrat since Randall and Carlisle has led his party in the house with the dexterity and tact which Mr. Williams has so far exhibited. The country concludes the Tribune, Ifs to be sincerely congratulated on the new temper and new efficiency developed by the opposition in congress"

Is Big Undertaking.

The sanitary officers connected with the isthman canal commission find they have big task on their hands. They have returned from a months trip to the isthmus where they went fully over the field. Nothing practicable in the way of sanitation has been attempted on the isthmus. No where were there the com monest facilities for the preservation of health In all the isthmus the doctors found but one bath room.
 So far as the quarters for employees along the route of the proposed canal were concerned nothing for the preserva- tion of health had ever been considered. The first step will be the creation of a water supply and sewerage system. There will have to be medical attendants for forty thousand people. The experts say they will be able to make the isthmus a habitable place in about twelve months.
