THE man who pretends to be an ex-
ponsnt of JeffersOni2n Democracy and
who vet repudiates the faith delivered
in the immortal "Virginia and Ken
lucky Resolutions of 1898 g." is not
only q fraud, but u ninoomp poop in the
bargain. The States of this Union are
absolutely sovereign as to their own
internal affairs, except in so far as they
have delegated away certain authority
and power distinctly specified i'll the
com pact of Union. If this is not rue,
then it is only by grace of the central
power that the States are permitted to
elect their own Governors and Legis
latures. If, in short, the States of this
Union are not absolutely sovereign
barring only the voluntary waiver
above specified, then our Government
is simply despOtism-a good natured
and liberal despotitm, we grant-but
a despotism, nevertheless, and as such
dangerous to liberty. The very fact
that the General Government is the
creature of the States, tells the whole
story; the creature is not so great as
the creative power to which it owes its
existence, excepting only through
perversiOn-by the exertiOn of destrIc-
tive power, and in the line of calamity

Dropped Dead.

Judge Robert Logan, a member of
the Illinois Legislature, dropped de. d
at the head of the House stairs, as he
was on his way to the chamber, last
Thursday. The elevator was not run
ming, and he attempted to walk up the
long stairway. Logan had been all
ing all session with heart disease, and
could not stand excitement of any
kind. When he dropped ON the house
floor opposite to the main entrance to
the chamber, he was picked up by
friends and carried into the ante room
and doctors called. Five minutes later
he was pronounced dead. An election
to fill the vacancy caused by his death
cannot be held in less than three
weeks.

THE joint resolution submitting a
constitutional amendment TO 3 vote OF
the people in favor of q license system
was defeated in the Ohio House Oh the
18th ult., receiving 60 votes for to 3s
votes against the proposition, being
less than the constitutional three. .fifths
vote required TO pass the measure.
Every Democratic meMber was pres
ent and voted for the resolution, while
seven Republicans were absent or re-
fused to vote. Thus it will be seen
that the Democrats did all in their
power to carry out their pledges to the
people on this vexed question, but
were defeated by the persistent refusal
of four Republican members-Nessrs.
Burnett, Haley, Jones and Peet-to
vote either way on thequestion. though
they were present and admitted they
were in favor of the principle OF Ii
| cense. A resolution censuring the
recreant members for refusing to per-
form their sworn duty, was passed by
vote of 46 yeas to IS nays.

Cleveland nnd the civil Service.
The following digest has been made
of President Cleveland's letter regard
ing the civil service, which, consider
ing its vast Importance. is remarkably
brief. and needs no abridgement. No
document Of equal value and impor-
tancs has been recently publisi,e |.
II the law is administered in the spirit
OF that letter, all men, of all PARTIES,
outside of the narrow, selfish par issn
of each. will approve OF it. The fol
lowing is faithful reflect of the spirit
and intent of the letter:
The civil service reforln law will be
thoroughly enforced.
Its principles will he extended to
such offices not embraced in its provis
Ions as do not concern The political
policy OF the administration.
As TO those latter offices, such in
cambents AS have behaved in q civil

such Ms have not behaved in y civil

The foregoing digest presents the
material points of the letter, showing
that the new President has clear
comprehension, and firm grasp of the
requirements of the civil service law,
and has an honest purpose to obey
them.
Every officeholder, i'm the light OF

honest and non partisan, faithful and
just, and capable in the administration
Of his office, he is safe until his term
expires. But if he has abused his Off
cial trust for partisan purposes, the
new President will turn such rascals
out Immediately, as the civil service
law requires. There will be no sweep
ing removals, but there will be plenty
Of them for cause. But many Re
publican, who has conducted his off
cial duties with judicial fairness and
uprightness. will be permitted to serve
out the full term for which he may
have been appointed. 1t will be well
enough to bear in mind, and it will
