The Tendency to Strong Government.
Lnrnnis Lorna in Cnn temnnrarv Reviem

Marquis Lorne in Contemporary Review.
II was but the other day that the United
States fought for stronger federal powers. 1t
was after the successful issue OF that war;
and the strengthening of the federal govern
ment at Washington, that Canada formed
her constitution, expressly guarding against
disintegration by making the central power
supreme in all but local legislation. Thus
we see these English-speaking peoples aim at
strengthening the central government, and
there is no instance in which legislative priv
ilege once given to the government of the
Union has been taken from it and gwen to
the individual State. 1t may be a question
in America how far State rights
or home rule led to the great
civil war, but in any case the geoeraph-
ical and climatic differences between the
North and South led in the South to the in
stitution of slavery, which was the proxi-
mate reason of strife. State rights or home
rule in property or domestic matters may be
natural and held to bring no national disin-
tegration where great geographical and eli
matte differences make it impossible to have
an all-powerful central government
Strengthened as was the federal government
by the result of the war, it is notable that
even now the militia of America take their
orders fiom the individual States, and not
from Washington. This which is opposed
to united national interests, is likely to soon
disappear, and the government of Washing
ton will probably seek to be master of a
stronger military organization. The whole
history of the United States shows steady
tendency to increase the powers of the federal
government The history of Canada does
the same,

THE CIVIL RIGHTS DECISION.
Bishop Turner's Bitter Letter to Prof b. K.
Sampson.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 12.-BishOp H. NJ.
Turner. of the African Methodist Church,
has sent the Memphis Appeal an open letter
to Prof. b. X. Sampson, colored, bitterly at
lacking MIN for the conservative tone of his
speech at recent meeting of negroes here
regarding the civil rights decision. He says:
We want fre-eaters now a thousand times more
than we do conservatives. The nation deserves,
and will receive If it lets the decision stand, The
Misses of man, the curse of God, ard the r.dcule
OF all ages think it wrong in on to teach young
men of our that it Is manly sit still under
any such dlabOlical decision. You know am an
African emigrationist and have been for years;
have no faith in this country being the ultl-
mate home OF the negro. For fifteen years have
believed that the prejudices of the white race
would either drive us OUT of the country or re-
duce us to state of vassal degradation that
would be more intolerable than slavery itself.
l had no faith in the race love of the South, and
less in the North, for we failed to be
a political power in the South the Northern
papars began 10 berate US, and they nave kept 1t
up till the present, and because dared TO tell

clsed by the colOred papers all over the country.

citizenship as to say to the country they wanted
no more class legislation by Congress. Now,
see where we are, absolutely unclvIhzed and
outawed by the Supreme Court The negro Is
literally driven out of the United States, ana any
State can drive him out Strange to say, too,
the North has struck the first blow towards the
ultimate degradation of the negro, for all the
members of the Supreme Court were Northern
men but one, and he was true TO our rights and
principles of Justice. l have been fearing for
years the present change, the present reVolu-

arDead," did you say? had not heard
Your turn to deal. I knew her well q
Before her marriage, when she drew
Hearts after her, as ladies do
In whom we see divinelv blent,
Beauty and grace to ravshment.
That holds the soul as in spell.
She had such dainty ways, and when
Hearts trumps? pass-and when her
eyes
Met yours, you felt no longer wise,
But stupid, and ashamed, and mean,
So spiritual and serene.
So full of gentle dignity
And lily loneliness was she
In her pure life's sufiiciencics.
] mind me how, one autumn day,
Just when the leaves were turning red
J met her near the bridge where drones
The brook along'ts path of stones;
And shadows in the willows high
Slide through the leafy canopy
and DER the sylvan way are shed.
She bore pitcher, old and quaint,
And, dimpling to the colored rim,
The water sparkled in the sun;
When, passing in her girlish fun,
She laughed happy laugh and free,
And babe me drink to memory,
Her eyes with mockery abrim.

Weakens the sight and makes one choke
And sicken--air! ah! that will do:

Rises that scene in outline clear.
And through my mind there sounds the
Flooding with ripples gold and brown,
The Shiny dam, where. in his blue
And FURNISHED coat forever new,
The dragonfly, monitor,
Cuts the sun current with whirr,
Beating his fierce wings up and down.
And while the willows, with their
prone,
Thick branches sing low refrain,
l see Rachel, young and sweet,
Splitting nectas at my feet G
A holy water--which, to-day,
Could wash my darkest sin away,
Were to feel its touch again.

Tripped lightly past the shallow pool
