SYMPTOMS OF PURIFIoATIoN.- "A Re.
publican In Washington is reported to
have said lately in conversation: "I,
for one, am not content to see my
party used as tail to the Presidents

amendments by certain prescribed pro-
cesses, and such amendments have
been made FROM time to time. some OF
them Of late being Of doubtful merit
and expcdiency. and pot having more
thnn formal popular sanction. Bot
even that Is felt to be better and safer
than legislative or executive interfer-
ence in violation of the Constitution.
