therefore introduced and passed by the house
As a :, parate measure, also passed the senate
on the 9th During the debate Oh 1t the lc-
publicans had been unable to invent any OBJ

his veto, until Edmunds made the closing
speech IN the senate The republicans had
realized the necessity of striking out IN new
line of argument against the measure whlch
would afford the President preteXt tor anoth

emergency. The ground he took was no less
novel than snecious. He commended that the
effect of the bill would he TO prevent the use
of the army by the executive on election day
in the enforcement of any law of the United
States, thus placing the national government,
on that day, at the mercy OF the states; and
standing on this ground, he launched out
an old.fashloned Hamiltonian diatribe against
state rights, magnifying the glory and beauty
of a splendid national, imperial government,
under which the states had no rights which
the empire" was bound to respect, After
this burst, the bill passed by vote of 80 to %.
The senate then took up the legislative and
judicial appropriation bill, resuming the dis
cussion on the section repeating the marshals

IMPERIALISM.

A few years ago there was journal pub
lshed III New York, and edited with ability
too, which accepted the logical sequence OF
republlcanism and boldly advocated the con
version of our union of states into Il grand en-
pire, with an emperor or perpetual president
at its head The only steps necessary, this
honest journalist maintained were to place
the presidential election, with the aid of the
army under the control of the party in power,
and reflect Grant, and, afterwards, after the
fashion of France with the first and second
Napoleons, proclaim him perpetual president,
first consul, emperor, or whatever name SEEM
ed least offensive or most euphonious, and the
thing was done.
The Quincy Wing, an organ of the stalwarts
that is in favor of Grant for third term, and
for that matter TOR fourth, fifth or as many
more terms as his life is good for, is equally as
honest as the "Ihperialist" editor we have
mentioned, and follows out republicanism to
its logical conclusion. Here is what the Wing
says:
The republicans are very much alsposed 10
have General Grant for the next president OF
the United States and if the people of this
country choose TO elect him for a third term
there Is no reason in the world why they

year. This is among the better indications of
the tmes.-.WeHdOtd BulittiR.
II is an Indication that the people of the
United States have plenty of money, but can
make no better use of 1t than To pay debts. A
business man in that condition Is making no
money-that is, he is not accommodating but
running behind, and that is exactly the condi
ton of the United States while she has such a
large balance of trade in her flavor" In pros
porous times, when business is lively and
booming" the balance OF trade is the other
way. Surely no business man can be making
when he pays out more than he takes in, and
the nation Is only becoming more and more
impoverished while it sends out more than il
brings back. 1t will not be until the balance
OF trade is once more against us, as the
phrase goes, that We shall see good times"

should not elect him fourth time if they have
mind to, and so on. That Is to say, unless
we are to assume that the people of this coun-
try have not sense enough To take care of them.
selves. Moreover there is good reason to be
licvc that this country would be much better
off under "A well.regulated monarcha consti
tuition than II Il now with the fuss and fury of
"A presidential election every four years. The
Whig is for II monarchy; and if the people

Grant is the very best man in America to begin
with. At all events let Ms try him for about
five terms As for that matter, we could elect
HIM next year. and at the end Of each cOnstitu-
tional term thereafter assume that he has been
reelected, thus avoiding the noise and expense
OF an actual election. In tins way we should
gradually become accustomed to the mon
archy, and there is not the least reason to
Goubt that in the end the public would be
much pleased with the change. And serious
~, there Is not much reason to doubt that the
public would be greatly benefited by it,"
But 1t is oboious there can be no difference
in principle whether the party IN power use
the bayonct control republican congress has
given them, and which Hayes is so determined
they shall retain, to force the election of Grant
for third term, or the election of John Sher
man. The essential thing is the power of Re
publicanism to perpetuale itself and to do it
by so controlling, detying or ignoring the
power of the states rs to leave them helpless
IN the matter. 1t is imperialism" all the
same And that is exactly what Sherman,
Evarts, Chandler and the rest of them mean.
They have the purse and the sword and can
hold the presidency IN defiance of the will of
the people, and they are determined also so to
control the elections in the states hereafter that
they shall have republican congresses.
