TALKS ON CHICAGO RIOTS.
Cleveland Defends His Action in Sends
ing Troops In 1894.


Former President Grover Cleveland
delivered a lecture at Princeton, n. j..
the other day, III which he congratulate
ed himself-to use his own words-on
his course In sending federal troops to
Chicago to suppress the riots during the
great railroad strike of 1894. and read
the correspondence wherein be severely
criticised the late Gov. John p Altgeld
for his resentment of federal interior
ence.
Mr.. Cleveland's address was the first
of the Henry Stafford Little Lectures
on Public Affairs" a series founded by
his personal friend. Mr.. Little prince
ton 40, who died about a week ago.
1t was Mr.. Cleveland's first lecture in
two years.
Mr. Clevelands condemnation of the
dead Illinois executive was uneQuivocal
He said:
This official not only refused TO re-
gard the riotous disturbances within the
borders of his State as sufficient cause
for an application to the federal govern
ment for its protection against domestic
violence under the mandate of the con-
stitution, but actually protested against
the presence of federal troops sent into
the State upon the general governments
initiative and for the purpose of defend
ing itself in the clearly defined exercise
of its legitimate functions"
The correspondence that followed was
illuminative of the whole question Of
State rights and federal supremacy, con-
Guiding with this dispatch from Mr..
Cleveland:
While | am still persuaded that l
have neither transcribed my authority
nor duty in the emergency that confronts
us, it seems to me that in this hour of
danger and distress discussion may well
give way to active efforts on the part Of
ali in authority to restore obedience to
the law ard to protect life and prop
erty."
This" said Mr.. Cleveland, ''closed {
discussion which, = tt net results, dem
onstrated how Ear ones disposition and
inclination will lead him astray in the
field of argument"
Outlining his reasons for sending
troops to Chicago, Mr.. Cleveland said
Attorney General Olney, in his official
report, correctly stated the purpose and
design of this outbreak in these words
TO compel settlement Of disputes be.
tween the Pullman company and por-
ton of its employees, nothing else was
meditated or aimed at than a complete
stoppage of all the railroad transporta-
ton of the country, State and interstate,
and freight as well as passenger.
Mr.. Cleveland then described the re-
peated but Intellectual attempts by the
United States Court injunctions and the
use Of deputy marshals to prevent riots
and the obstruction of commerce and

ceptance. but very little OF the color
is preferable to more than little Of 1t.
With shirt waists of simple and OF
elaborate sorts, and with fancy waists Of
the most dressy sorts imaginable, the
separate waist idea is in the most -four
ishing state possible. And as to the more
ornate of these desirable garments, their
standing as to dressiness is Of the best.
The skirss with which they may be worn
may not be of the plainest, as was the
case when last fancy separate waists
were a general fashion, so now the cos
tune of fancy bodice and skirt is one Of
considerable elaborateness.i The extreme
" highly wrought character OF these gar
ments will be indicated from brief de-
scription of the examples sketched here.
The upper pair were cream taffeta, Irish
lace and pearl beads for the left hand
one, and pale blue mousselline de sole,
with yoke of embroidery and hand en-
| broidered ruffies, for the other. Below
these were pink soft taffeta waist fn-
ished with shocking and narrow white
! passementerie; a white chiffon waist with
| insertions, landings and yoke Of Lierre
lace, and a black crepe de chine waist
| trimmed with valenciennes and fringe.
As these garments hint, the standards in
the fancy bodice field are high and in the
color schemes of the costumes into which
they enter there is distinct improve
ment. Formerly the fancy bodice was
worn with black or dark skirt. Now
there should be harmony between skirt
and bodice. The goods may be quite
different, and the shades of the two may
not match. but they should harmonic
| nicely. The numerous shades Of each
color that are available makes a COM
paratively easy matter of following this

sAFERLoWeRs AT WORK.

Wreck Postoffice at Hanna, Ind, and
Then Flee in Stolen Rig.
Safe blowers wrecked the postoffice
building and safe at Hanna, Ind, late
Monday night, secured $1,000 in cash
and postage stamps, stole a horse and
buggy and eluded pursuers. Hanna Is
about forty miles southeast of Chicago.
1t is a village of 600 population.
The postmaster at Hanna is G.. A.
Trigger, who also conducts a general
merchandise business. His store, frame
building, is the largest structure in
Hanna.
Three explosions, coming in rapid sue
cession, shook the village shortly before
midnight and broke the window glass in
dwellings nearest the postoffice. Too
frightened at first to move, the villagers
hesitated long enough to permit the safe
blowers to dash from the building and
drive toward Chicago in a buggy they
had stolen from a farmer.
Dynamite was the explosive used by
the robbers. What method was used to
penetrate the safe is not known to the
postmaster, as his place is almost total
wreck. It is thought that the dynamite
was placed about the safe and set off
with percussion caps and a fuse. The
stolen horse and buggy were hidden in
an alley a block distant from the wreck

Many men who have died poor and
who have ever been poor have been
great successes. Our Savior was a
poor man, the poorest of the poor and
yet no life was ever such a success
as His. The mistake of this age is in
judging success by wealth. A man
may be worth S1O0,OOO,O0O and yet be
an absolute failure. That is, he may
be rich and yet be hog. He is sue

in some figures recently compiled by
the Department of Commerce and

between 1921 and 1902 Germany and

while the second group sent 5T2.T26.
Making the comparison by percentages
between the total immigration from
1921 to 1903 and that for 1903 alone.
we find that in the first case the Ger
