The tariff, the regulation of the railroads
and all such questions are dealt with,
not by the States, but by the United
States. Business problems form the ba-
sis of legislation, and business is so
wide in all its relations under the present
systems of trade that State lines have al
most nothing to do with it. Years ago,
when transportation facilities were limit
manufacturing for the surrounding re-
gion, the State could by its legislation
help or hinder the development of bust
ness. But it is not the case IN our time.
In short. the government which affects the
people to the greatest degree is the govern
ment at Washington, not that which has
its seat at the State capitals. And there
fore State politics that do not bear on ma
tiOnal ale dull and little thought Of
Here in Vermont we have railroad COM
mission, but it isn't worth a moments
consideration by anybody; for it has
been found that national commission is
the only kind that can do things as they
should be done in order to be of service.
Our commission can tell people that it is
dangerous to walk on the tracks, can re-
late the details of accidents, can hear
complaints of those who desire to abuse
the railroads and can draw its salary, and
that is about the extent of its powers.
The Legislature has dwindled into ma
chine for laying taxes, for the legaliza-
ton of grand lists and for the concOctiOn
of schemes for the preservation of fish
and game and for the suppression of
ears, foxes. woodchucks and rum. The
State courts grow of less consequence
and the United States courts of greater
from year to year. 1t is not to be Won
dered at, then, that when the rest of the
State governmental machinery is falling
off in Importance and in the scope of its
functions, the executive department
should follow.
And yet there ought to be limit IN
this decline of the State. If it is worth
machinery at all, an effort should he made
to have that machinery as good as the cir
cumstances will permit. The course of
events has rendered the State government
less powerful and less consequential than
it once was; but it can be kept respecta-
BILE and dignified nevertheless. The
growth of Fullerism, with all it implies.
will not tend in that direction.

THE GENESIS OF FULLERISM.

Thirty years ago the proposition to
to the governorship would have been re-
ceived with derision. 1t would have been
said that he was too small for the place;
and. what is more. he would not have
stood a ghost of show of the nomina-
ton or the election. But in these days, re-
gretful as is the fact, it does not strike the
mass of the voters as at all absurd that
| he should aspire to the position, nor does
| it seem PROBABLE at this iuncture that the
opposition has organization, strength and
consistency enough to defeat him. lie is
antagonzed, and with sufficient vigor, in
spots, but the opposition lacks the CO.
herency necessary to make it effectual.
Lieut.. Gov. Fletcher has many friends,
and so have other gentlemen who have
been named for first place on the State
ticket; but the division of forces weakeDs
| the opposition to Mr.. Fuller's organiza-
ton, which, apparently we'll supplied
with the sinews of war, and with but one
aim in view-hs elevation to the govern
ship-keeps industriously at work. If he
succeeds in his raid for the office, it will
become an established thing that any man,
even of comparatively small calibre and
of no known fitness, can, provided he has
money enough to form and run boom,
get himself nominated and elected to the
governorshp of Vermont.
AS was said at the. outset, this condi-
tion of affairs did not exist till recently /;
it is new phase of Vermont politics.
The change has come about in one of two
ways; either the voters of the State have
lost their independence and self-respect,
or else they regard State officers and
State business as of little consequence IN
our generation. The first supposition
is probably groundless, for when they
have real business to do, such as the
election of senators and representatives
i'm Congress, Vermonters are Vermonters
still and continue to put the best men to
the front. The truth is, we suspect, that
since the war the politics of States of a
y
year out have ceased TO be of popular IN
terest. Quite likely not one person in
ten thousand IN the South knows or cares
who is governor of Vermont, though
most Southerners are aware that Ver-
mont is always Republican. No North
erner has deeper concern for the inter
pal politics of chronically Democratic
States, like Mississippi, for instance.
The State politics of the doubtful States
hre, however, always carefully watched
alike by Democrats and Republicans of
he South and North. And why? Be-
PAUSE national politics have superseded
btate, and these States are the battle
fields of national politics. The matters
which chiefly concern the people today
ire governed by the national government.

THE LECTURE COURSE.

Prof. Jameson, the third speaker in
the lecture course, treated his hearers
last Friday evening to very scholarly,
though, perhaps, somewhat dry dis
course on ''rhe Origin of Political Par
ties in America. The lecture was so
replete with details that it would be i'm
possible in the space at our command to
give an outline OF it. We shall mention
only few of the salient points. Par
ties were at first regarded as something
very undesirable and We're very much
deprecated by the founders of our gov
erhment. But yet the American office
seeker came over among the very first
settlers. Politics ran highest in New
y Iork, where they always were used for
the advance of persons rather than prin-
ciples. No State has produced so many
wire-pulling politicians. and, in proper
ton to its size, so few eminent states
men as New York. Most of the corrupt
methods in politics have had their origin
in that State. The Tories were the
really loyal party before the Revolution
and it is time we laid aside the narrow
way of looking at these much-abused
persons, who, far from deserving our
scorn, should rather receive our pity
for the sufferings which they were
forced to undergo on account of their
consistent loyalty to the government
under which they had been living. In
the division of parties on the question
of adopting the constitution the people
of the alluvial districts-in other words,
the more well-to-do communities-vOted
almost without exception in favor of its
adoption. This fact the lecturer illus
trated by series of rough maps show
inc the divisions of the States on This
question.
The next speaker in the course is
Prof. Chas. ii. Levermore of the Massa-
