Il this q Safe Doctrine.

It was observed in the course of the
debate in the United States senate FRI
day that Senator Thurman, of Ohio,
who in this matter has acted - the
spokesman of that Democratic party,
which Is striving to get the ASCENDANT in
the national government, declared
that no member of congress was
bound to do anything 70 enforce
q law which he deemed unconstitutional.
This is the very doctrine adopted in
1882, by the nullifiers of South Carolina,
under the lead of John @. Calhoun, and
manifestly tends to disintegrate the
government. The old Democratic party
put its stamp OF reprobation upon this
doctrine, but the modern Democratic
party has become 10 tinged with wild
theories on finance and government that
1t is daily dropping moro and more into
secession principles. When Thurman
was asked by Senator Blaine why pri-
vate citizen should not have the same
right to Eullify or diaobey an existing
statute, Thurman did not answer; he
merely said that any lawyer would un-
derstand the distinction.
1t is true legislators have certain
powers and privileges, but it stands TO
common sense that the president and
congress are ruled by and must obey the
law with the same fidelity - private
citizen. Thurman insists that in the
power over the appropriations the legis-
latos have the right to nullify any law
which to them seems obnoxious, and
thus their negation can virtually repeal
statute before it il repealed. They
certainly have the privilege 20 to act, but
in refusing an appropriation they have
neither the legal NOR the constitutional
right 80 to word it ~ to say that the
president shall not enforce m existing
law. They then trench upon his consti-
tutional prerogative, - part Of the
law-making power. They can exercise
their privilege of omitting the appro-
priations, but nothing moro.
In the pending political legialation on
the appropriation bills, the Democratic
members have not merely refused an
appropriation to carry ont an existing
law, but they have proceeded TO one
and . moro dangerous step further IN
striving to bind the executive 70 theil
construction Of the law. This ID the
,int wherein the Thurman argument
