the states respectively, or to the people,"
This is an unmistakable assertion of the re-
served rights Of the states and Of the people,
aud none the less so of the truth that the con-
stitution is to be strictly construed.
These ten amendments do not in letter nor
i'll spirit change the original constitution. 1t
was universally held that they were already
implied. The difference Of opinion was SIM
ply as to the expediency or necessity of ex-
pressing them.
The eleventh, and all the subsequent amend
ments more or less seriously modify or change
the constitution. 1t was adopted 1898, and
forbids the United States courts to entertain
suit against state brought by citizen Of
any other state, home or foreign. This is also
clearly in the direction of state sovereignty.
The basis Of it is manifestly the principle, that
sovereign cannot be sued by private cti-
zen. This is the most indisputable assertion
of state sovereignty in the constitution. Yes

discharges the sewage from the Bureau OF Engrav-

neighborhood OF the Sycamore, or what used to be
known as the sycamore beach, between the Long
bridge and the Monument grounds This is q brick
sewer, which discharges all the filth from that
building, where there are hundreds Of persons en-
ployed, together with all the waste from the differ
emf colOred inks, etc, that are in there These
washings pour out OF the mouth OF this sewer fall

then find their way among the vegetation, cover

to river shores, thrive in this place. and it is mpos

since this building was erected.
