THE Constitution requires that Congress
shall provide appropriations for the support
Of the Government. When it fails in this
requirement it becomes revolutionary and
assumes direct antagonism to the supreme
law of the land

The question, the real question, now at
issue in this extra session of Congress, is
whether the State governments or the Ma

ORDINARILY Congress would pass the

IF there are any dreamers in Congress or
ont of il who hug the delusion to their
minds that the people are regardless of the
manner in which the Government is carried
on, so it is carried on somehow or another,
they will be rudely awakened from their
false.conddence as soon as the public will
is demonstrated at the polls. The earnest
patriotism Of the American people was
never more thoroughly aroused than it is
now, and they begin to understand
the meaning Of the Democratic threat
to cut off the appropriations unless the
Government relegates its power of con-
trolling its own elections TO the States, In
