TAKES HIS PEN IN HAND.

Congressman Rhodes has eX e
allied himself as a letter writer
by paying his distinguished re.
spects to the editor of the Freder-
IcktOwn Democrat News for indulg.
ing in some criticism of his sacre
person. In this letter Mr.. Rhodes
establishes his remarkable fitness
rs representative in Congress
his eminent ability as Il constitu.
tloual lawyer and his superior
knowledge of the classics. 10 his
own satisfaction, at least. He
claims to be very close To the great
leaders Of his party, which certain

tltude on the statehood bill.
He seems to be very proud, too,
of his effort in behalf of the rail
road rate bill and has had pub.
lished and scattered over Madison
county Il thousand copies of his
brilliant speech on the rate bill.
The people of Madison county will
now revel in light on that great
question, although it is solemnly
stated by the best lawyers, regard
less of political faith, that the Hep
burn bill, for which he spoke with
50 much earnestuess, is uuconsti
tutlOnal, and that the Senate com.
biue, led by AIdrlch, Spooner and
other corporation Senators, is
against any amendment of the
measure. 1t suits them best as it
is. The great constitutional law
yer OF this district. with all his
legal acumen, seems not to have
discovered the weak and subtle
point in the bill; but perhaps this
may be attributed to his enthusiasm
for the measure, which for the
time blinded his mind, and can in
no way be said to detract from his
vide and deep knowledge of con-
stitutional law. st. Francois county
has not yet been flooded with this
great speech, but no doubt it will
be circulated as a campaign docu-
ment.
In his Junius-like letter Mr..
Rhodes also drops into the classics,
in which he makes some startling
revelations of a richly stored mind.
He hits the editor of the Democrat
News squarly between the eyes by |
quoting, as he AYERS from Shak-
speare, the old familiar couplet,
Convince u man against his will
and he is of the same opinion
still" Wouldn't that jar the shade
of Samuel Butler, who in his Hudi-
bras" probably first gave utterance
to the sentiment paraphrased by
Mr.. Rhodes and credited to Shak-
spearei The correct quotation
from Hudibras, which may be
found in the third canto, is;
"He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still"
We notice that Bro. Purcell Of the
Democrat News still survives, and |
we are glad of it, for we could |
hardly afford to lose him; but real.

humiliation when the blunderbuss

SOUND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

In a mastertul speech and lcga
argument on the railroad rate bill
| in the Senate on the 9th, Senator
| Bailey of Texas added to his al.
ready established reputation a. m
orator the tact that he is one Of
the best il not the leading inter.
Ipretrr of constitutional law in that
body. During the consideration
OF this measure, such able Senators
rs philandcr {. Knox of Penu>yI-
yania and John &. Spooner of Wis.
rOnSln, who are recognized rs
lawyers of great emlnenCe, have
coutcnded that Congress had no
authority to limit the right of Fed
eral courts to issue temporary in.
| functions. If this contention were
correct then any rate legislation
which Congress might enact would
for ak practical purposes be shOrn
OF the power to furnish the relief
contemplated by the advocates Of
genuine rate legislation; any in
ferior Federal court might, by IL"
issuing OF temporary injunction.
stop the operation of any rate de-
cision OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission, pending Il revision by
the courts and the delays Of ap-
peals on any rate fixed 10y the
commission.
Senator Bailey proved 10y an
array Of Supreme Court decisions
that the very reverse of this con
tentiOn is true that the courts
have only such power as Congress
expressly confers on them. This
is not only sound constitutional
law, but it is common sense, The
courts are creatures of Congress
under the constitution, and the
creature is not greater than the
creator. He showed that the
Federal courts themselves have
held that, except for the right ex-
pressly conferred on them by Con.
gress, they could not issue the
writ of habeas corpus and enforce
the right to execute their judg.
ments by DEGREES of execution"
nor issue writs of mandamus.
Do the Senators from Wiscon-
sin and Pennsylvania" asked Mr..
Bailey, undertake to say that
courts which say they would not
have the right to grant writs of
habeas corpus and of mandamus,
except for the express comforting
on them by Congress of the right,
would hold that the temporary in.
junction is so much greater than
the writs of habeas corpus and of
mandamus that the right to issue
it came to them by the mere reason
that Congress had established
them3"
When Mr.. Bailey had finished
his convincing argument, Senator
Hale of Maine arose, and in cool
incisive tone, said; Il want to
say what | believe, which is that
the Senator from Texas has demon
strated beyond a peradventure that
Congress may limit the authority
of inferior courts to issue tempo.
rary injunctions. The Senator has
done more to day to dsentangle
this discussion than any one who
has spoken yet. ! think the Sena-
tors argument cannot be contro-
verted. "
Perhaps no prerogative of the
courts has been more abused than
their right to issue temporary ins
functions. Under it men have been
deprived OF liberty and imprisoned
without a hearing or trial on the
mere edict of a judge. Corpor.
atoms have invoked it and not in
vain at the hands of too subser.

EGGS WITH HANDLES.
Achievement Of the Educated LeghOrns Of
New Jersey.

New York (Special) Robert E. Fos-
ter, Jr., of Newton, Sussex County, N.
J., an ornithologist and biologist, has
succeeded, with the able assistance of his
White Leghorn hens, in developing an
egg with handle.
Mr. Foster will not tell how he edit
gated his Leghorns up to this, but he
has seven eggs with handles. One such
is on exhibition in the editorial rooms of
the Sussex Register and proves the power
of suggestion over intelligent and OBJ
servant fowls.
On the small end of this egg is a pro-
tuberance from the she'll about as big
as the handle of tiny demitasse. The
butt of the egg is hattened, so that the
egg stands by itself. Anyone can see
the immense economic and commercial
value of an egg so shaped. Eggcups
will be superfous hereafter.

A PITCHED BATTLE
WITH THE OUTLAWS
Three United States MarshaIS Shot to
Death.
FUTILE BROTHERS SWEAR VENGEANCE
Six Officers Of Law, While Searching for MUIR
derers, Ambushed 10 Indian Territory by
Band Of Indians Headed by Wickliife Broth
ers-Two Men Left Holding Indians at Bay
While Third Summons Posse.

Kansas City, Mo. (SpeciaI-Six United
States deputy marshals were ambused in
Spavinaw Hills, near Kansas; |. T., by
IA band Of full-blood Indian outlaws.
I In fight which ensued three deputies
met their death They were !. L. Gil
strap. Of Kansas; Otis TNlttel, of Vinita,
and Richard Carey, of Tahlequah, l. I.
Thomas Woford, one Of the deputies
who escaped, carried the news to Tab
lequah, and Marshal Daraugh issued
orders to rush every deputy marshal in
the Northen District of the Indian Terri
tory to the scene. Details of the fight
have not yet been received.
Marshal Daraugh, in addition, wired
the Department of Justice at Washington
asking authority to swear in 100 addi-
tional deputies and to offer ST. 900 reward
for each of the outlaws, dead or alive.
He has gone to Kansas, and will person.
ally direct operations against the out
laws
The gang was headed by Charley, John
and Thomas Wickliffe, sons Of former
justice Of the Cherokee Supreme Court.
The three Wickiiffe boys began their ca
reers five years ago, when they were
concerned in a stabbing affair at an In
dian dance
The deputy marshals were ambused
while hunting the Wickhffes for the
murder last March of Deputy Vier. The
horses of the deputies were shot from
under them, and Gitstran, futile and
Carey were killed outright.
The other three sought shelter behind
rocks. When Wofford started back on
foot to Tahlequah for reinforcements the
others were holding the Indians at bay.
More bloodshed is feared 1t is said
that many of the younger full-blood In
dams in the Spavinaw Hills are joining
fhe Wickliffes. Several famous Indian
fighters are among the posses. Among
them are two brothers of futile, the
dead deputy. When the two brothers
left for the scene they declared they
would avenge the death of their brother.
Heavily armed officers are hurrying
from all parts of Indian Territory, to a
place 2s miles southeast of Vinita, in the
Cherokee Nation, where the Wickliffe
outlaws and Cherokee Indians laid an
ambush and killed the deputy marshals
Sunday night.
According to a report, Indians are go
Ing to the support Of the Wiekliffes.
The ambush laid by the Wickliffes for
the deputies was c1everly planned. The
officers were led Into it unsuspectingly
and were fred on without warning. The
deputies fought desperately, and for a
time escape for any of them seemed
impossible
