therefore the action of General Sheri-
dan in using troops, establishing mill
tary authority, and declaring martial
law, was an invasion of the rights of
the State of Illinois, was uncOnstitu-
tional, and was a dangerous precedent.
Governor Palmer sought vindicatiOn of
his position at the general election the
next year, But that was the year 1872,
and this issue was so OVershadowed by
the more important issues of the Pres
idential election, that Palmer was de-
feated, though undoubtedly there was
strong feeling of fealty and loyalty
to him throughout the state, and if this
issue could have been separated from
others, there is little doubt that he
would have won. In a measure the peo-
pie of Illinois did vindicate him and
the position he took in this matter
about sixteen years later when they
elected him to the Senate.
The same question was raised by
Governor AItgeld in 1894, and seems to
have been raised again in San Fran
cisco just now.
1t is one of those questions which at
the time it is raised can never be set
tied on it's merits, because the army
has always the physical power to
maintain it's pretensions. But if ever
the American Republic is Overthrown
by a military dictatorship or despot-
ism, 1t may be through just such an
entering wedge as such circumstances
of those at Chicago or San Francisco
offer.

The weak point in the supervisors re-

that the investigation was conducted
in secret, or at least not publicly.
There was no good reason for
this. Such an investigation should
have been as public as it could be

NEEDS OF OUR POST OFFICE.
Postmaster Wilcox IN Washington Confer
ring With the POstmaster-General.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Postmaster Will
cox arrived here to-day TO confer with
Postmaster-Genera Cortelyou and other
postal officials concerning the needs of the
New York Post Office. Negotiations with
the Pennsylvania Railroad relative to the
postal station to be erected at it's terminal
in New York are nearing completion. This
is one Of the matters that the New York
Postmaster will discuss with the Washing
ton authorities.
At a hearing before the House Com
mittee on Appropriations tomorrow Post
master Wilcox will urge a favorable report
on the bill introduced by Representative
Parsons providing for the installation Of
an additional elevator in the New York
Post Office and other improvements in and
around the building.
An effort will be made to induce the Sem
ate Committee on Post Offices to modify
that provision of the Postal Appropriation
bill relating to pneumatic tube services.
Contracts for a period OF ten years are au-
thorized in the bill, but there is a provision
that such contracts may be abrogated after
they have beer in force four years on notice
Of a year given by the Postmaster General.
This practically means a five year contract,
and is so construed by the companies own
ing the tubes. The tube companies want
contracts to run for a full period OF ten
years, and it is understood that under such
arran gemepts better terms can be secured.
Mr.. Wilcox will remain here until Friday
and before his departure, or soon there
after, announcement will probably be made
that the Postmaster-GeneTa has completed
negotiations with the PENNSYLVANIA as 10
the kind of a building that shall be erected
at the terminal for postal purposes.

RATE BILL DEBATE no CONTINU ,.
Senator TiiIman Makes FruItIess Effort TO
Fix = Day for q Vote.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Tillman
made a ~fruitless effort to-day in the Senate
to have a day fixed for a vote on the rate
bill amendments. Senators Hale of Maine
and Aldrich OF Rhode Island expressed
the opinion that the time had not yet ar
rived to fix a day. Mr.. Tillman complained
that there was seeming delay and that he,
being in charge of the bill, would be held
responsible. Mr.. Aldrich thought there
was no disinolination to vote on the bill.
IF there has been delay he said, sit Is
due to excursions into outside matters
from time to time 10y Senators who are sup
posed to be in charge Of the bill
Mr.. Iillman then urged Senators who
wanted to speak on the bill to come forward
and let it be known. Whereupon Senator
Spooner OF Wisconsin gave notice that he
would. address the Senate tomorrow and
Senator Clarke OF Arkansas announced
his intention to submit remarks on certain
features of the bill next Friday. The dis
oussion regarding a date for vote showed
plainly that no Senator expected q vote
could be reached sooner than two weeks
from Monday.
Mr.. Tillman finally gave up his efforts to
FIX a date for a vote and the Senate pro-
ceeded to the considera ton OF the Indian
appropriation bill.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Additional evil

elimination on the part OF the Baltimore

ing cars for the transportation OF coal.

Morgantown. W. Va, involving stephen
B. Elkins of West Virginia, chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce.
Mr.. Fulmar said that he had leased some
property from George c. Sturgis, president
and principal stockholder in tthe Morgan
townand KingwoodR Railway, which connects
with the Baltimore and Ohio at Morgan
town. A short spur track connected Mr.:
Fulmar's mine with the Morgantown and
Kingwood road. In December, 1902, ne
said, the road passed into other hands,
and he understood that 1T was acquired
by Senator Elkins. After the acquisition
of the property by Mr.. Elkins, Mr.. Fulmar
said, he had difficulty at first in getting
cars, and finally operations on the road
were discontinued, the reason being given
that the track was in a dangerous condllon;
Mr.. Fulmar said that the Elkins mine
got cars when they we're aeniea ao 10 h mn
