NO LEGITIMATE SERVICE.

and Baldwin have apparently induc-
ed the President TO continue them I'm
service and TO pay them money ont
or the public treasury upon the the
ory that they were rendering legiti-
mate service when they were not
each and every such payment to them
seemingly constitutes a clear case of
obtaining money under false preten-
ces. and | call the attention OF the
law officers OF the Government TO
the fact, as we'll as TO the nerfury
that has been committed, In order
that they may institute appropriate
prosecutions.
Finally, in consideration OF the
general character of this whole mis-
cradle business / feel more keeuly
than ever that it is the duty OF the
Congress to put an end at once and
Tor all time to the possibility Of con-
tinuing such outrageous and illegal
Proceedings by so amending my bill
and then passing IL as TO provide a
tribunal before which these men can
appear and be heard in their own

THE SECRET SERVICE.

AT one point in his speech Senator
Foraker digressed and made an at
tack upon the Presidents use of the
secret service which made a profound
impression on the Senators. He had
just read from the correspondence
of one OF the discharged soldiers the
story OF the efforts or a Government
detective to secure possession of one
OF the Senator's letters.
"Mr. President" said Mr.. Foraker
laying aside his manuscript and speak
ing with deliberation. Il never wrote
a letter since left my mothers knee
that the world may not read or TO
which any person may not give the
widest publicity. / say this without
qualification.
Il may have written letters, as
other men have done. IN which I
used language that in view OF sub
sequent developments might require
correction. But none OF them has
been of a character-not one-that
required any lying. dodging or mis-
representation on my part
The Senator commented upon the
use of secret Government agents to
spy upon Senators and private citi-
zens. He declared that every honest
man ought to resent such atrocious
CONDUCT.

with persons obnoxious TO him Mr..
Foraker contended that IL did not

purpose than that for which IL was
intended If any legal obstacles exist
