The right there specified is that of
bearing arms for lawful purpose. This
is not right granted by the constitution
Neither is it in any manner dependent
upon the instrument for its existence
The second amendment declares that it
shall not be infringed, but this, as has
been seen, means DO more than that it
shall not be infriuged Gy congress. This
is one of the amendments that haye no
other effect than to restrict the power Of
the national government, leaving the
people to look fer their protection against
any violation by their fellow citizens
of the rights it recognizes to what is called.
n the City of New York vs. Milne I'll
Pet, 1897 "the power which relates to
merely municipal legislation or what
was, perhaps, more properly called inter
national police, not surrendered CT

counts are
EVEN MORE OBJECTIONABLE.
They charge the intent to have been to
deprive the citizens named (they living in

governed The very highest duty of the

persons within their boundaries in the en-
lloyment of these inalienable right" will
which they were endowed by their Creator
Sovereignty for this purpose rests alone
with the states. 1t is no more the duty
or within the power of the United States
TO punish for a conspiracy to falsely i'm
prison or murder within state than il
would be to punish for false Imprisonment
or murder itself.
The fourteenth amendment prohibits
state from depriving any person OF hfe

furnishes an additional guaranty agains

and also some of the other Citizens
met in the Grange Hall and resolv-
ed to wage an organized warfare
against the pests. They have made
mp money and will give three prem

to pay taxes with wolf scalps, but
now that We have ouigrown our

our modes of pioneerl!fe, wolf scalps
have ceased to be circulating ci me,

The people of North Wilson are
SO quiet and orderly that you may
hardly ever look for anything start
ling, strange or outrageous from Us
But not withstanding our sedatnsss,
we have been looking on with mucn
interest for the past Jew weeks to
see what will be the result of the
great political issues now before the
country. We have been looking
day after day for the final result of
the presidential election, and an
anxiety never before witnessed
pervades the entire community. The
feeling of uneasibess and distrust,
is not, as some may suppose, confn-
ed to the popu GUS Cities and great
centers OF influence, but is felt with
force by the yeomanry throughout
the country. While the people
hope for justice, and intently long
for the triumph OF right; they can
net help feeling that there is great
danger. Usurpation has bean the
first step taken in the downfall Of
too many governments, not to ex-
cite serious apprehension. Let no
one think that we can bear usurpa-
tiOn four years longer, and then
quietly regain our liberties. The
steps of the usurper is never back
ward, and, if to-day he can boldly
usurp authority TO sutain himself
