and when those paths have deviaaed tFom the

whose servants public olcials are, must interfere
and demand the needfal ehsnge-OtheEwise the
positions win be reversed. and the servants VIII

Pre- governments EaiI always through eorrup-

cry tiwatehman what Of the night" should re-
sound throughout the land and reach every ear
Beginning at home 10 the way TO correct 70 the
end the evils that seem beyond our reach. When
tbe people elsewhere are locking SoP and actively
seeking reform we should not stand alOof.
therefore suggest Saturday the 9th Of August
for a meeting Of those interested in this matter
and trust some action, Outside 81 party and free
from personal seekings, may then be taken and
that We may have q representative delegation 70
represent uS in the Baltimore Convention.
