A long step in the direction of protecting states rights has been taken by the senate, which has passed the bill introduced by Sena- tor Overman providing that injunc- tions suspending state laws shall be issued only by majority of three federal judges, instead of by only one,. as has hitherto been the case, and requiring that wherever possi- ble five days notice of a hearing on an application for such injunction shall be given to the governor and the attorney-general of the state af- fected. It is hoped that the speaker can be prevailed upon to pass this bill which was urged by the demo- crats in terms so forceful that the needed and declined to oppose the measure. There is little doubt that the bill will pass the house if MT Cannon will permit it to come to vote.

Congressman Lilley may be doing good work, but as the Times has admitted, his methods are not above suspicion. He had strong packers from the start, yet he told the committee he was alone. He had the aid of experienced lawyers, lobbyists and lawmakers, and still he tried to make people believe he was being persecuted, and that he wasn't given a fair show. The Times got onto all this and its comments occasionally show plainly enough that there is more back of the whole thing than the good of the cause. The Boutell committee is bringing it out pretty we'll, and not all one sided as it might have been had the plan mapped out by Thurston ct al been carried out The effect it will have on Lilley's political future and the republican party remains to be seen. If the Times and those other now and then democrats will stick to the good old party through thick and thin the effect of the sub marine upturning will be a demo- cratic president next time.

 ing Lilley for po- litical effect" The
 inquiry set on foot
 by MT Lilley was sufficient in itself
 to arouse atten-
 tion and interest.
 If he is right some grossly improper methods have been
 used, and it is i'm.
 portant that the facts should be
 learned. But as from the outset
 t h e committee
 treated MT Lilley as if he were the criminal the case
 took on new inter-
 est. We have not
 doubted MT Lii
 ley's honesty of purpose and have contended that he should have fair treatment. At the same time where he appeared to commit an error in conducting his case we have not hesitated to say so. To our mind | this seems more 1 like even-handed 1 justice than like any booming for 1 political effect. By the way, what I particular politi. cal effect was in I the mind of our contemporary?
