As usua, thing, the campaign IN Ohio
is dull, when there is neither a President
nor Governor TO elect. We hope the pres
ent will be made an exception to the gener-
al rule. Since the Government was found

ruinous because of the mode of its achieve

from that success. Our country now is like
paralytic, dragging one-ha'f of dead
and helpless body, and must so continue as
long as the South is deprived of its rights
under the Constitution. A tyrannical and
usurp'ng Congress is grasping at supreme
power, N order to establish a bloody and
oppressive oligarchy on the ruins of free
Government. A patriot President. sacri-

Powers of the General Government

THOMAS JEFf ERsoN Was undoubtedly the
ablest expounder OF the Constitution, be-
cause so intimately connected with the
events which led to lts formation. The
members Of the present radical Congress
who delight TO quote his opinions as an
aueipationist-would do well to occas-
ionally Investigate his writings and opins
ions on other points. On the 18th Of June,
1898, Mr.. JEFI ERsoS wrote to Judge JoBS-
SON as follows;

from Arizonia. 1t seems that Fort Good

Indians, and the whole garrison of one hun

Indian of to-day IS the same blood-thirsty

The Creator and the Created

In the debates in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on Monday, we find the follow
'ng!:-
"Mr. Schenck, of Ohio. said that In one
sense he did not believe that the eleven
States were out of the Union. He did not
subscribe to the doctrine of their being re
duced to the condition of Territories. He
believed that the Government had the
right to thrash them and subject them to
obedience. on the same principle on which
father thrashed his child"
1t thus appears to be the opinion of the
member of Congress from Dayton that the
Federal Government sustains the same re-
lation to the States that father does to his
child Herein Mr.. Schenck shows his wis
dom and his wonderful knowledge of the
Government. He supposes the Federal Gov
rent of them. He does not know that the
reverse of this is true; that the States, in
their sovereign capacity, created the Fede-
raj Government; that the latter is their
offspring or rather their agent, instead OF
they being its children. Some of the
States were in existence one hundred and
forty years before the Union was thought Of
Mr.. Schenck has evidently read his his
tory backward, or has got the thing ut
terly confused in his mind. 1t is certainly
rather curious that the Federal Govern
ment which owes its being to the States
which Is the mere creature of their hand
which has only such powers as the States
