prehend To-day it is freely asserted by
those who ought to know what they
safe, that there is not Il particle Of
d ubt of Mr.. Mathews defeat, that Ii
Republican Senators headed by Mr.. Conk-
ling and Edmunds are opposed to him
with at least 33 Democratic Senators.
That two of the subcommittee and six of
the general committee of the Senate judi
riar. are opposed to him and will So re
port. Upon the other side MIR. Mathews
friends assert their entire confidence i'll
his success They say the Republican
members of the Senate. with possible two
exceptions. will vote for him, and that
senator Whyte will certainly carry eight,
if not ten, Democrats with HIM, which
will secure his confirmation. There is no
doubt. as previously stated i'll this cores
pondencc, that senator Whytc is making
most desperate efforts to secure MIR.
Mathews success. 1t is also equally true
that his associate Mr.. Groome. is quite as
determined against him, and is leaving
no effort at success untried upon his part.

THE VETO AGAIN.

The second Presidential veto. lays the
revolutionary schemes of the Bourbons
lower than did the first. It goes down to
the very root of the conspiracy to revive
the trite and obsolete doctrines Of States
Rights The difficulty with the schemes
recently adopted by the Democratic eau
Gus was. that they We're forced on the
party by men who really believed that
the war settled nothing. That the States
are sovereign. That lie tnion is only a
new edition of the old and discarded Con-
federacy, and that the agencies provided
by the constitution foT maintaining the
Federal Government. should be used to
render that government as weak and in
efficient rs possible. The Democrats
thought they did shreWd thing in pre-
pairing the bill just vetoed 1t was franz
ed. they asserted, to meet the Presidents
objections to the Army Bill. But inno-
cent rs they may have intended it should
look, Mr., Hayc. has clearly concluded
that under certain oirGumSianr il would
prevent his enforcement of the laws
Whatever uureconStructed tontederiteS
may think are the powers of this govern
ment, the fact is. that under all admins
trationS, it has welded the authority ola

Il. ever existed, and this veto message
arrays the fact with undeniabe force
The President condcnscs the whole CON
troversy when he says, alludiny to the
legislation that gives the Federal govern
ment what every real government must
have. the force essential for executing the
laws and preserving order: This ancient
since tie foundation of the government.
1t is now proposed 10 abFogatr i on Ger
tain days and ut certain places. In my
Judgment no fact has been produced
which tends to show that it ought to be
repeated or suspended for single hour
at any place IN any of the States pr Terri
tories of the Union. All the teachings of
experience in the course Of our history
are i'll favor of sustaining its efficiency
unimpaired. On every occasion when the
supremacy of the Constitution has been
resisted and the perpetuity of our institu-
tons imperiled, thc principle ofthis stat
ute enacted by the fathers has entbled
the government of the Union to maintain
its authority and to preserve the intcgri-
ty of the nation. At the most critical
periods Of or history my predecessors in
the Executive oi1ice have relied on this
great principle. II was on this principle
that President Washington suppressed
the whiskey rebellion : in Pennsylvania
i'll 1894. In 1S06 on the same principle,
President Jefferson broke up the Burr 1
conspiracy by issuing orders for the en-

THE SARATOGA ASSEMBLY.

Saratoga is full, not as usual of gaity
and fashion, but of learning and piety.
The general assembly of the Presbyte-
rian church is convened at that great
watering place. and its eminent divineS
and laymen from all parts of the coun-
try have exclusive possession of its vast
hotels. Six hundred delegates. repre-
senting thirty-seven synods, have gath
cred to hear and make reports. and take
counsel as to the future of Presbyterian
ism.
The assembly represents IS Presbyte-
ries, of which is in Africa. in South
America. in Persia. ) in India. | in ia

1901 ministers. 33l licentiatcs. and GIG

How witty the Democratic Deputy
Editors are about this time at Mr.. HAYES
expense. One wag worries himself to
say: 1t is believed that President HAYES
IL his present state of mind would veto
Mrs. Hayes new spring bonnet bill if it
were presented to him by democratic
1nilliner." Another lovingly remarks
that, = Hayes is the most bull-dozed man
in the country. Like a jumping. jack he
pops up or down just as the StaIwarts
please \ third predicts that the pre-
sent alliance between his fraudulency :"
and the :" StaIwarts. cannot last long.
But short time ago these Bourbon Bug
lers. We're winding a Hayes horn, and
commanding him for daring to do right,
when he withdrew the troops from the
South, and left the negroes at the polls
to the tender nercies of their former
masters. The Republican bull was being
g0red then. Now the Bourbon Bovine
takes his turn. And right Justify he bel

MIR. EDIToR:-l wrote out a definition
OF " Local Option last Tuesday the 9th
instant. over my signature. and took it to
the Office of the Worth East Record for
publication. The editor held it under
consideration until Friday, and gives the
following rs his reason for not publishing
it:
I'VE have received a communication
on Temperance. Although our motto is
Fearless and free, vet our duty to many
of those on whom we depend. and to those
who depend on us. compcls us. with all
due respect to the author and those he
represents. to decline its publication
The reason is because it is too radical for
a paper designed for the whole commun-
ity-a paper for the people; neither the
organ nor the antagonist of any sect.
class. or association, as announced in our
prospectus.
Here is the communication. If you do
not think it is too radical for your read
ers, you will oblige by publishing the
same over my signature.
The farming class of colorcd people in
Kent county, Md, during last Falls cam
paign. called = Local Option yoke
Of oxen. The term is appropriate 1t
is yoke of oxen to draw the drunkard
home to his family; yoke of oxen to
draw men away from grop-shopS. where
they are tempted. that they may attend to
/ their business: to draw the drunken
lounger from the street corner. lamp
posts and loating places. to the churches:
yoken of oxen to move out the rum
seller and move in the dry goods mcr-
chant or grocer.
The enemies of Local Option say it is a
! failure. What does it fail to do? 1t
fails to fill lock-upS, iailS. penitentiaries
and alms-houseS. 1t fails to produce
rowdyism. fights, larceny. theft murder.
and all other sins and crimes 1t fails ia
keep the courts i'll session three weeks.
when one ought to be sufficient 1t fails
to increase taxes thirty cents on the one
hundred dollars. 1t fails to recognize
either man OF woman as Il diSgracefuI
and diSgracing rum-Seller. 1t fails to al
low the renting of property for the sale
of Intoxicating spirits. 1t fails to fill the
drunkard's grave and the drunkard'
hell.
But what is Local Option? 1t is tho
choice of the majority of voters in any
specific place either for or against intoxi
eating liquors. If the majority of vot
erS i'll county declares by ballot that
intoXicants shall be sold. that is Loc;,
Option i'll favor of Intoxicating liquors
If majority in a county declare by bal
lot that intoxicants shall not be sold
that is Local Option against Intoxicating
liquors.
Let the majority rule-tIat is demo
cratic. Let each community decide fol
itselt-that is Local Option.
