ous to serve the government and incident
ally TO be invested with the honors and
EN- olumenis Of public office.

sntagonisms OF diverse and counter inter
esss and the vast expense attendant upon
governing aud controlling them. the won-
der is that 1t has not seemed best, IN the
economy OF things, TO mite into fewer
bodies polite the numerous units OF PEG.
Piles.

suggested by the common origin OF the
English speaking races also suggests the
federation into one great n4tinn OF the sew
