WATCHING AND WAITING.
What the People Want Is Legisla-
ton That Will Be for the Wei
fare of the Entire Country.


And yet the people wait and expect
from their chosen representative such
patriotic action as will advance the well
fare of the entire country; and this ex-
pectation can only be ansN cred by the
performance of public duty with unself-
ish purpose. Our mission among the
nations of the earth and our success in
accomplishing good requires of those
intrusted with the making and eXecu-
ton of our laws perfect devotion above
all other things to the public good. This
slst all Impotence of constitutional
limitations of federal power and to per-
sistently check the increasing tendency
to extend the scope of federal legisla-
ton in the domain of state and local
jurisdiction upon the plea Of subserv-
ing the public welfare. The preserva-
ton of the partition between proper
subjects of federal and local care and
regulations of such importance under
the constitution which is the law of our
very existence, that Reconsideration of
eXpediency or sentiment should tempt
us to enter upon doubtful ground. We
have undertaken to discover and pro-
claim the richest blessings of govern
ment with the constitution as our guide.
Let us follow the way it points out. 1t
will not mislead us. and surely no one
who has taken upon himself the solemn
obligation to support and preserve the
constitution can find justification or
solace for dislOyalty in the excuse that
he wandered and disobeyed in search of
a better way to reach the public
welfare than the constitution offers.
what has been said is deemed not
inappropriate at time when, from
a centuries height, we view the
way already tried by the American
their future path. The seventh presi-
dent of the United States-the soldier
and statesman, and at all times the firm
and brave friend of the people-in vim
dcation of his course as the protector
of the popular rights and the champion
of true American citizenship, declared:
ssThe ambition which leads me OIL is
anxious desire and fixed determination
to restore to the people unimpaired the
sacred trust they have confded to my
charge. To heal the wounds of the con-
stitution and to preserve it from further
violation. To persuade my country
men. SO far as l may, that it is not in a
splendid government. supported by
powerful monopolles and aristacratical
establishments, that they will find hap
piness, or their liberties protected, but
in a plain system void of pomp-pro-
tecting all and granting favor to none:
dispensing its blessings like the dews
of heaven, unseen and unfelt, save in
the freshness and beauty they contri-
butte to produce" 1t is such a govern
ment that the genius of our people re-
quires. Such a one only under which
our states may remain for ages to come,

ners of Their All.
We view with pride and satisfaction
this bright picture of our count1y's
growth and prosperity, while only a
closer scrutiny develops somber
shading. Upon more careful inspec-
ton we find the wealth and luxury of
our cities mingled with poverty and
Indebtedness and unremunerative toll.
A crowded and constantly increasing
urban population suggests the impov-
erishment of rural sections and discon-
tent with agricultural pursuits. The
farmers son. not satisfied with his faith
er's simple and laborious life, joins the
larger chase for easily required wealth.
We discover that the fortune realized
by our manufacturers are no longer
solely by reward of sturdy industry and
enlightened foresight, but that they re-
suit from the discriminating favor of
the government, and are largely built
upon undue eXaction from the masses
of our people. The gulf between en-
ployers and the employed is constantly
widening, and classes are rapidly form
ing-one comprising the very rich and
powerful. while in another are found
the toiling poor. AS we view the
achievement of aggregated capital we
discover the existence OF trusts. COM

COMMUNISM OF CAPITAL.
1t Is as Dangerous as the Com.
munism Of Oppressed Poverty
and Toll

anu 1OII
Communism is hateful thing, and a
menace to peace and organized govern
ment. But the communism of combined
wealth and capital, the outgrowth OF
overweening cupidity and sefishness,
which insidiously undermines the JUS
tice and integrity of free institutions, is
as dangerous as the communism of OPP
pressed poverty and toll, which. exas
perated by injustice and discomfort, at
lacks with wild disorder the citadel of
rule.
He mocks the people who proposes
that the government shall protect the
rich, and that they in turn will care for
the laboring poor. Any intermediary
between the people and their govern
ment, or the least delegation of the care
and protection the government owes to
the humblest citizen in the land, makes
the boast of free institutions glitter
ing delusion and the pretended boon Of
American citizenship a shameless impo-
sitiOn.

A POLICEMAN FATALLY SHOT.
HURT IN A QUARREL WITH HIS WIFE.

BOTH RErIcENT AT FIRST. But TIE STORY FINALLY
CoXEs OUT.
The police Of Brooklyn are somewhat mystts
fed over the shooting yesterday morning Of Polices
man John Marks, Of the Adams-st., station
About II o'clock Sergeant McCarty was walking
up Sands-st. and was accosted by Mrs. Marks whS
coolly told him that her husband had been Shot
and asked the Sergeant TO go with her to their
home in Pearlst The Sergeant first went foo
an ambulance and then accompanied MIS- Marks
home.
There he found her husband lying on the bed
suffering from and dangerous bullct
wound Two rcvolvcrs, one self-cOcking, the
other an old fashioned single action one, lay on
the floor at the front OF the bed, and one OF the
chambers af the old one had recently been emp-
tied.
The Sergeant tried to get from the wounded
man u statement to how the shooting took
place, but Marks positively refused TO say any
thing. While the Sergeant was making his in
yestgatlons the ambulance surgeon reached tho
house and on examination found that the bullet
had entered the left side just below the breast
and taking an upward direction had pierced the
right side of the body: The surgeon said that
the wound would undoubtedly be fatal and Marks
carried TO the ambulance and then taken 70
the Cumberland-st. Hospital.
THE WOUNDED MANS STORY.
No further effort was made to get the policeman
to make a statement until his wound had been
dressed in the hospital and all that he would say
that it was an accident. Later however.
Coroner Rooney went to the hospital and Marks
made this statement
This morning, while cleaning revolver IL was 80

words that had with wife this morning had no beariss

, This statement did not entirely agree with one
made by Mrs Marks to Police Captain Eason OF
the York Street Station. The captain htst went
to Mrs. MarSs's house, shortly after the shooting.
and tried TO get from her statement OF how tho
affair really occurred. She would not say any
thing, and the captain went back TO the station, 10
which at o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Mar<se
dau ghter came to tell him that her mother had
changed her mind and would now tell him all
about the shooting
Her story is that she took the pistol out OF
drawer and her husband told her to put IT. back
She did not do So and he ran TO her, caught her
hand and tried TO wrench II from her She heio
on to it, and in the struggle the pistol went on.
