oered what an important part Of the con-
sutution those amendments make, it will
begin to be understood how deeply the
nation is indebted to Democracy: First,
not only in place, but in Importance, is the
amendment securing religious freedom-the
liberty of conscience in faith and practice
OF religion, the freedom of speech and OF
the press, and the right of the people to
peacefully assemble to petition for re-
dress OF grievances; second, the right OF the
people to keep and bear arms; third, the
right to be free in times of peace from SOL
diers being CHARTERED in private houses
against the owners will; fourth, the right
OF the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects against unrea-
sonable searches and seizure; fifth, So
cures the individual from being
held to answer for capital or otherwise
infamous crime, except on the present
ment Of an indictment by grand jury, and
from being put twice in jeopardy OF life or
limb for the same offence, frees him from
being witness against himself and secures
him from being deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process of law; and
also DEGREES that private property shall n ot
be taken for public use without just com
pensation; sixth, secures the right of ac-
cused parties to speedy and public trial
by an impartial jury of the state and dis
trict where the crime was committed, TO be
confronted by the witnesses against him,
10 have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor and to have the as
sistance of counsel for his defence;
seventh, in suits at common law, where
the value in controversy exceeds $50. the
right of trial by jury is assured; eighth,
prohibits excessive. bail and cruel
and unusual punishment; ninth,
declares that the enumeration in the con-
stitution of certain rights shall not deny or
disparage others retained by the people:
and tenth, confines the powers Of the gov
eminent to the powers specially enumer-
ated in the constitution.
These provisions were not in the original
constitution formed by the famous con-
venrion which framed it and submitted it
through Congress TO the states for their
ratification: but they were urged upon the
attention of the respective state conven-
tons al the time the adoption of the con-
stitution was discussed. II will DE observed
that all save the last refer to the rights of
the individual protecting his liberties
against the encroachments of delegated
power. They constitute the American Bill
Of Rights and so long as they remain I'M
impaired they form a shield behind
which individual liberty stands secure.
These provisions bear the stamp of
Democracy which is ever more
anxious to protect individual liberty
than to secure power for govern
ment. They found their chief advocates
among the Democrats of that day, and
through their efforts against strong oppo-
sition they became part of the American
constitution. They are a noble heritage
bequeathe6 to America by the early Demo-
Gratis of our country, and constitute the
most valuable part of the great inheritance
left to US by the generation which founded
our government

THE PRIMARIES

THE HERALD again reminds the Demo
Gratis of this county that their primaries
will be held this evening for the purpose
of choosing precinct delegates TO the county
convention next week, and we again re-
mi nd members of the party of the neces-
sity of attending these meetings. We be-
| lieve the Democrats are going 10 win at the
coming election. We believe this fully. At
the same time it will not be q walk-over
Much work is to be done, and it must be
good, honest, faithful work, and work
which is not accompanied by mistakes.
Neglect and blunders would be injurious,
if not disastrous. There is duty imposed
upon every member of the party, and that
duty is to do all in his power to bring about
the victory which is so essential to the
community's welfare. One of the things
that will encourage to the effort necessary
TO success will be good ticket, a
ticket made up of capable, trust
worthy, popular men, and the way
to insure such ticket is to send proper
delegates to the nominating convention.
These delegates should represent the ma
iority sentiment of the party in their re-
spective precincts, and this they will DO,
provided the voters Will 60 to the primaries
and participate in the work Of selection.
THE HERALD would like to see such a
ticket put up as would defy criticism, and
carry with it guarantee to all citizens, re-
gardless of partisan politics, that the duties
attaching to the various offices would be
performed honestly, with ability and in
harmony with the popular idea of the best
interest of the community. That kind of
ticket will certainly be formulated if the
voters take the interest in TO- nights meet
ings which they should take in view of the
situation and the Importance that mistakes
shall be avoided. And that kind Of ticket
viii be almost certain of election.
Democrats, perform your whole DUTY to
yourselves, your party and the county by
participating in the primaries this evening
A good start increases the chances for a
successful outcome.

WHAT DEMOCRATS DID.

In these times, when the Republican
press is full to overfowing with what the
Republican party has done for the country,
it is not out Of place to recall what the
country owes to Democracy as contended
for through the leaders of the Democratic
party In forming the constitution had
the opinions Of HAMILTON and others who
afterwards became leaders of the Federal
list party--of whom the Republicans of our
day are the literal descendents-had their
ideas prevailed, we would have had linn
tied monarchy, or ct least consolidated
republic. in which case the local govern
nent OF the states would have been blotted
out HAMILTON himself, even after it was
seen that the government which was to be
formed under the constitution must be a
contederated republic, favored the iniec-
ton into it of many monarchial principles.
He would have had the members
of the Senate elected for life, making that
branch of the national legislature more
sristocratic than it is now. The object of
thus putting the Senate beyond the in
fiuence of frequent popular elections was
that it might, like the British House OF
Lords, act as check upon the popular
branch of the national legislature, the
theory of government then being that its
powers should be equalized and rem
dered harmless yet also effective by
series of checks and balances of those
powers In like manner and for similar
purposes he would have had the governors
Of the states elected for life; but the
Democrats of that day would have none of
the remnants of monarchial institutions
interviewer with the political fabric they
were constructing They said, away with
your complicated system or checks and
balances of power; we can trust the people;
the only restraint needed is the constitu-
fion In which shall be defined the limita-
tons OF the powers granted to the govern
meat or the prohibitions thereof to the
people; as for the rest, it shan ne reserved
20 the states respectively or to the people.
That idea prevailed, and was fiuanv after

constitution. We owe it to the Dena,ra,s
that it WAS.
In like manner they contended for

ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED.

Our esteemed, though radical, contem-
porary, the ST. Louis Globe Democrat, says:
The Mormon party in Utah is disbanded,
and the opposing organization, therefore,
Will 20 to pieces, as it has no further neces-
sity for being. Steps will then be taken
for the formation of parties which will
divide on national issues. With the aboli-
ton OF polygamy, which is probably now
complete, the sole reason for keeping Utah
in the territorial stage will be removed.
When the country becomes convinced that
the twin relic has actually gone to join
the one destroyed in the civil war, Utah's
admission to statehood will be at hand"
The CD. sizes up the situation with its
accustomed readiness to grasp the facts.
The Mormon party having gone out Of ex-
istence, the old enemy can find no possible
excuse for being, unless 'pure cussedness"
be an excuse, and we don't think that will
satisfy others than the bosses who see
departure of their profitable occupation
when the Liberal party goes to pieces. The
existence of the Liberal party is matter
OF few weeks at most, for no considerable
number of men can long be held in line of
battle against an army of windmills.
They may be induced, for a little time, to
beat the air and shrek against the wind,
but they will soon tire of vain exertion
which does not furnish even entertaining
psstime. The HERALD thinks that when
the votes OF the August election shall have
been counted the Liberal party will be so
disrupted that nobody will deem it worth
while to take the trouble to proclaim dis
bandment.
But our St Louis contemporary is be-
hind the times in suggesting that the for
nation of parties which will divide on ma
tional issues will be delayed until the de-
mise of the Liberal organization. The
parties have already been formed, and they
are working as earnestly and theoretically
for the supremacy of their respective prin
ciples as are the Democrats and Repub-
licans OF Missouri or of any other part of
the union. The issues which divide men
here are the same as those which divide
Democrats and Republicans elsewhere, and
no others.

AN APOLOGY.

The weather is getting warm, and this,
together with the condition of the Tribune,
should prompt the health officer to take
extra precaution against hydrophobia. We
do not believe in muzzle, be-
cause physicians tell Us that this
aggravates the trouble, and besides,
we are just now engaged in
the study of mental physiology, and we
would not like to miss the manifestations
of the most depraved mind in the tnree
Americas for chrome. But DR.. HALL
might hang out black flag or quarantine
the Tribune, as a precaution against posi-
BILE consequences to the passing multitude.
There is a species of journalism in other
parts OF the country which, TriGuae-like,
meets every legitimate argument with an
outpouring Of billingsgate. 1t is cheap and
easy, no matter how nasty it may be- To
take dictionary Of slang or oaths and be-
ginning with A-say Ass-and ending with
Say Zealo:-and string the words to-
gether into literary dauory, and label
them Argument, is an old expedient of
irresponsible prints; but it is left to the
Tribune alone to go to the length of
RIGHTEOUSNESS and pursue women no less
than men with it. Once before that dirty
paper was compelled to apologize for nasty
language thus employed, but as the leopard
cannot change his spots, SO it cannot change
its depraved nature and habits.
1t is all right at home where the foul
mouthed sheet is known and accordingly
discounted and discredited. But we cannot
afford to let the outside world Judge the
people Of this community by the vile
language Of the Liberal organ, a people
imbued with high sense of morality and
propriety. and we therefore tender an
apology for the Tribunc's conduct. AS we
remarked before: The paper is sick, 10, so
very sick. Good folks. have pity on it.

when we do that, admitting only the honest,
thrifty and intelligent, why should we
debar them from q privilege which to gain
is one Of the causes Of their coming!
Finally, why should Mr.. UTTER regard
Office seeking more dishonorable than

other seeking! Is the administration OF

of private trust!

In the letter of sportsman to his
Ifavorite journal appears the following
sentence, written apparently in all sober
ness: "Nct all the farmers in this valley
annoy the hunters by posting trespass
notices." How very kind and consid-
crate, exclaims Farm and FIreside. How
thoughtful of the tender feeling of tho
city sportsmen who annually invade the
A'rooral deestricts" during the hunting
season. How hard-hesrted, sordid and
selfish those other farmers are who "an.
noy" the hunters by posting trespass
notices. "Annoy the hunters" ia good.
Certainly the farmer does not realize
what grievous annoyance it is to the
mighty hunter from the city to arrive
with his dogs and his friends at his
chosen hunting grounds and find them
posted with trespass notices. It is too
late now TO heip it. The season is over,
and the sportsmen have returned to their
homes, and are now studying what
amendments to the game laws they shall
have the Legislature make so as to give
them better chance next season.
