Ia sophisrv. One Of the INCEST points in
Newspaper literature is to skillfully present

The Tima~man take a look through the
constipation of the United States, the bond

see if he can anywhere find a recognit on
of territorial governments as 'incipient

cal sovereigoities recognized in that lnstru-
ment-,he national governments and the
state governments Viewed as a simple
question of constitutional law the na,lon's
authority over the territories ls as supreme
as it is over American decks on the high
seas; but it is d,sgraceful to the nation and
an outrage on popular rights for tn; gencr-
al government to seek 10 exercise powers
repugnant to the general spirit OF freedom,
az It would do by denying to the Intelligent
citizens OF the territories the right to regu-
late their domes' c affairs in their own way,
80 long as they do not infringe upon the
constitutional rights of their n%eighbors.
The bill referred to shows the political
tendencies Of the times. II congress will

DIVORCES IN TERRITORIES.

The bill providing that divorce cases In

cal courts and given to the federal courts,
which was introduced in the senate on yes
terday, will probably Cause q new shiver 10
course alo0g the spinal columns of the sd-
vocates of the defunct doctrine of states
rights. 1t does not deprive any state of any
of its true rights, it is true, but it curtails
the privileges of the territories which are
incipient states, and therefore 1t is probable
the system of divided sovereignty which
they mistakenly call "local self govern
nent." There is something about this
which illustrates the absurdity of the whole
states rights business. The territories are
NOT hold to possess any sovereignty. Their
chief executive officer and other officials are
appointed BY the national government. The
national government has the power of life
and death over these local governments, in.

al government ciothe one of these territories
with statehood, and the position of the na.
ton and territory is exactly reversed. From
that moment II is the national government
which derives its powers from the territory,
and not the territorial government which
