THE STATE RIGHTS EEaEsy.

1t is a fit one to be taught in the
states and by men who lead therein
which owe their existence to no
previous heritage of colonial de-
pendence, or any transitory and
uncertain existence as ''sovereign
and independent" states - being
carved as they were out Of COM
mon territory, acquired by the
efforts and means of all tie people,
as well as being settled by persons
from every state without preference.
At least the latter was SO up to
1920, when slavery placed ban and
barrier in the way of northern mi
grafton southwark. The states of
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Miss
issippi, Arkansas and Texas, six out
OF the eleven states that formed the
the shareholders confederacy, were
formed from the com mon territory
belonging to the Union, under the
Constitution which "We the people"
adopted. Florida was won from
Spain, as also a part of Alabama.
The major portion Of that state was
originally in possession Of France,
as was also Mississippi, Louisiana,
and Arkansas. Texas was wrested
from Mexico, by a mixed process of
settlement and warfare. 1t might,
perhaps, better claim little sover-
eign right than the others, but the
conditions Of admission changed all
such pretences. Tennessee was part
CT the colonies Of North Carolina
and Virginia; as was also Kentucky.
Missouri was q part OF the Louis
lana purchase. Yet these are the
states in which The loudest claims
are made for the right of state
to be superior at its own will to the
Nation. There are twenty-four out
OF thlrty-seven states thus carved
from a common domain. Of these,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois, Michigan and a portion Of
Wisconsin, were formed from the
cession made to the Union by Vir-
ginia and other states of their col
onial claims. The balance of Wis
consin and Minnesota formed the
British cession made by the treaty
of peace when our Independence
was acknowledged. Nebraska, Kan
sas, Nevada and Oregon form part
of the Louisiana purchase, and Cali
fornia was captured from Mexico

LATEST advices received from
Cuenca, the scene of the recent
dreadful earthquake in South Amer
lea, rather increase than mitigate
the horrors Of the situation. Cuenca
was q city IN Ecuador, having a
population of 10000, located in q
wide plain. Ten thousand of the
inhabitants were killed at the out
set by being swallowed up, or by
falling walls. Many of the surviy-
ors were more or less injured, and
of these large numbers have since
died. The people are without food,
shelter or medical attendance, wan
dering about the suburbs Of the
destroyed city. 1t is feared that
the putrefaction of the dead bodies
of the victims will cause a plague.
Nine other towns besides Cuenca
were destroyed, and it is estimated
that the total loss of life win argre-
gate at least 10000. Subscriptions
for the relief of the sufferers are
being made by the people OF the
unframed districts. y government
commission viii investigate the
causes Of the calamity.

RISING POLITICIANS.

The week Of college commence
ment, has just passed, and a larger
number than usual of educated
young men, have this year for
better or for worse, gone out upon
the world. The graduation is the
turning point in the Students life,
and the subject he chooses to de-
yelop on that day, displays largely
what the tenor Of his mind will be
in the future. Snch orations have
long been proverbial for the dry
ness and impractlcabllity. For a
few years this objection has been
dying away, and this year more
than usual, have orations been
written on subjects which are being
agitated by the people.
One writes on Civil Service Re-
form, another of Universal Suffrage,
another on Female Education, and
a large majority on some theme that
is opening before the people. This
is one of the best signs Of the times,
since it gives evidence that a promi-
nent part in the politics of our coun-
trywill be acted by educated and re-
sponsible men. That a man Of cul-

THERE is an interesting debate in
progress in England, inside and
outside the House Of Commons on
the prevalence Of bribery in Parlia-
meutary elections. Members have
been groaning over the wickedness
of constituents who would debasc
themselves by being bribed, and
now the constituents are suggesting
that there are always two parties to
y case Of vote-sclling, and that if
candidates did not try 10 buy votes
nobody wonld or could sell them.
This plain truth has made commo.
ton. \ committee appointed to
inquire into the matter reported the
olhcr day in fl, or of severely pun
ishing members who bribed. But
this has been decorously showed
into oblivion. The practice Of brib-
cry seems to be on the increase.
The Judges are busy in investiga-
tons; several important boroughs
have been threatened with distran-
chiSement; all but one OF the mem
bers returned from Stroud at the
regular and special elections since
1865 have been unseated for bribery ;
and John Bright read in the House
of Commons, fen days ago, q
letter from a prominent citizen OF
Norwich, who said that that city
was in the hands Of 600 or 500
electors, " no sold their votes shame
lessly for money and beer" Then
a Tory, Mr.. Bentenck, denounced
the hypocrisy OF such debates, and
said ,Aat "there was really no feel
in. ia or cut of the House against
the practice of bribery The House
laughed heartily at this rare Jest.
The statement has been confirmed
by many outside authorities, so that
the matter seems TO be a clear ease
