4 |, too, answer no, and go one better
| we are not a nation; and still one bet
ter; we will never have republic un-
til we have nation, and we will never
have nation under the present re-
| gime.
A pure Democracy is a government OF
the people. This was never possible
| 1t must be government OF majority
or less than majority. A republic is
| the government OF one man, or any
number less than a majority.
The popular conception OF republic
is a government guaranteeing personal
rights, by the majority, as against ma
jorities or minorlties. That is, it as
serts as it's basis the supremacy of per-
sonal rights, life, conscience, liberty
and equality of civil rights.
This is the spirit OF the Declaration
of Independence, read on the National
Anniversary, and accepted by citizens
as part OF this organic compact. A
grave mistake.
We have no National Bill of Rights,
and no legal definition OF the Republi-
can ''form'' of government which the
United States is bound to maintain in
the States. Nor is this all. The clause
which provides that private property
shall not be taken without compensa-
ton is a mere platitude, as there is no
legal means of enforcement. The Gov
eminent is now run upon the doctrine
of sovereignty which cannot be sued,
and the Divine right OF the irresponsi-
bility of the de factO government.
This is further enforced by the most
ndions aSSumntiOn nf state secrets that
that the people have no right to know
how their own work is done by their
own servants. Hence the assumption
of the servants-that they own their
masters and all their property.
Under such assumptions, detection
and punishment are almost impossible.
The party in poWeris bound to protect
itself. No thief is willing to convict
himself. To set him to hunt up the tes-
timony to convict himself, and try him
before his associates, is simply farce
and while the present methods remain,
it will always be farce.
All Investigations should be by nom
officials, and De represented by more
than one party. The trials should be
by Indictment, if crime exists.
The government sues, collects dam
ages and interest, but cannot be sued,
except by courtesy. Congressman tell
me that it wont do to put the goternt
ment on an equality with its masters
that it would bankrupt the government.
| would like to know why there canno;
be some legal method to compel official
fidelity, and protect personal rights
Why the servant has right to CONCEAL
his action from his master? ii

There is great variety in the di-
yorce laws of this. country. In Maine
divorces are granted when the Judges
deem it reasonable, proper and consist
ent with the welfare Of society. n
Virginia it woman is discovered to
have borne a bad character before hand.
without the knowledge Of the man who
married her, he is entitled to a divorce.
In West Virginia it is just the opppo-
site, and If a woman discovers that her
husband was a rake before marriage
she may unmaTry. In Connecticut the
law declares that "such mischief or mis-
behavior as permanently destroys hap
plnes!ss and defeats the purposes Of mar
rage shall be legal ground for divorce.
In Georgia mental incapacity is legal
ground for divorce. In Alabama .adnl-
terry or immortality committed before
marriage as well as after is sufficient To
break the tie. In Delaware adultery is
OF itself not considered sufficient
ground, but nothing is said as to who
shall provide the said necessaries. In
kentucky only is one years abandon
ment considered sufficient.

~ the severest and the most personal
dlatribes against that truly great man.

recently emanated from his pen. Eyery-
thing that comes from him is sensible.
trenehant and powerful. That clear.
headed old gentleman has taken up the
cndgel in Pennsylvania against monop-
olles, and is dealing the railroads which
charge more for carrying ton Of
coal sixty miles than they do one hun
dIed and twenty miles many heavy
telling blows. He says the manufactn-
ger who consumes 1000 tons of coal a
year has to pay $4,000 blackmail annually
to the railroad monopoly, but the great.
est injustice is done, he charges, to the
poor labOrer whose wages are barely
sufficient to furnish his family wifi,

injustice done by the railroads ncharr-
ing more for a short haul than they do
