would have kept up as q national police And
yet in no great country OF the world is there
so little danger Of communism as In this, for
nowhere Is property SO generally distrib-
uted. But the capitalists stood by su-
pinely when the army was used 10 protect
returning boards In sitting the votes Of States
and frustrating the will of their people, and
under the pretense Of maintaining order to
subvert the very principles Of free govern
ment Believe me, in this there was real dan
ger. Governments are based upon principle.
The theory Of this government Is that the
people of the States shall choose electors FOR
themselves. and that by the aggregate voice
of such electors the national executive shall
be selected. TO let the party in power inter,
ferc by force Of arms to protect local board
in falSifyiDg the will of the localities Is to
subvert the theory Of this government and
lead surely to ts destruction.
"Whatevcr may result from the proposed
investigation, you may be sure that nothing
can result that will disturb either your Hooks
or your balances. The trouble to capital,
property and freedom will come, not perhaps
In your time or mine but come Mt last, from
refusing to inquire into frauds. TO confront

During The past week the galIOwS has been
unusually busy, and the result has been eX-
tremely disastrous to the central figures III
these CHASTITY exhibitions. Some time since
the American press was discussing the cues
ton: "DOes it hurt man to hang him"
The conclusion arrived at seemed to be that
hanging was Il painless death. Now some OF
the English magazines are specializing on the
sensations Of hanged person, and they al
most make out that hanging is rather pleas
urabe and desirable operation. One person
who was hung, to all intentS and purposes
and afterwards revived, declared that he felt
no pain, and his only sensations were Of tire
before his eyes, which changed first to black
and then to sky-blue These COlOrs are even
q source Of pleasure A cuIprt who has re-
vived when almost dead, complained that,
having lost all pain in an instant, he had beer

through the breaking Of the halter, said that
