but what was the great question of the day :
Then each person present gave his or her
view. One said it was Romanism, another
education, others woman suffrage, game
laws, establishment. No two agreed
what the "great question" was, and Miss
Carpenter completed the diversity ny
quietly remarking that she thought every
body felt that it was-the convict sys.

his election as president Of the Anthropo-

The people of South Carolina,
and Louisiana have adopted the
most effective method Of ridding
themselves Of the bogus govern
ments under which they have suf-
fered for years. 1t is to withhold
appropriations, refuse to pay taxes
and thus render these would be
governments powerless and inoper-
alive. Its works like a charm
The sham concerns will now dic
from sheer hamilton. Grant has
declared that the whole Army OF
the y. S. would be Intellectual a
gainet these tactics of the opposi-
ton and it must result in the aban-
ment Of Chamberlain and his crew
To maintain even the semblance Of
authority. 1t is the best solution
OF these veXcd questions as it can
bring no conflict with the general
G yernmcnt and is strictly within
the bound, Of loyalty to that gov
eanmcnt and at the same time a
powerful assertion of the rights of
the people to control their own af-
fairs.
