slant wars between so many independent and
rival powers. He is equally certain that, had
the States formed single monarchy or con-
solidated republic. some attempt would long
before have been made to force upon the whole
country one uniform law either allowing or
forbidding slavery. In that event. as he be-
lieves. civil war even moro fearful than that
which broke out In 1851 would have been
the immediate consequence. II Ia recognized
that, at worst the Federal Union had

erable term Of years IL had staved

OF Athens lasted. for q period not far short Of
half the duration OF the truest glory Of Rome.
Before 1851. unqubstionably. there had been
bitter dissensions and hatreds, violent words
and actions; there had been notifications ard
threats OF secession and attempts at local In
surrection. but. up to tho outbreak OF the re-
bellion, there had been nothing really deserv-
ing the name OF civil war. The Federal sys-
tem then, had Mt least saved this vast continent
for nearly three generations from the mutual
slaughter Of men Of the same race and speech,
from the sight OF ravaged provinces.
and OF cities taken by storm. During
all the years that elapsed between
1889 and 1StI0 tho amount OF union between
the several States on the one hand and tho
amount Of Independence retained by each
State on the other. had been found to be
exactly the amount which answered the
required purpose. Had tho system broken

system would have broken down much sooner.

The most interesting chapter OF this book 10
that in which Prof. Freeman contrasts the ad-
vantages and drawbacks OF small city COM
monweaths on the one hand with those of
large states upon tho other. after which he
proceeds to show that an ideal federal system
like that eSemplled In the United States COM
bines the advantages Of both the other sys-
tens in a large degree. The difference between
small city commonwealth and q large State
is defined as follows: The former comprises a
territory with regard to which it Is ut least
conceivable that all the citizens may bo pres
ent in a primary assembly and take direct
part In legislation: large State. on the other
hand Is ono with regard to which no such d.
rect action OF all the citizens is conceivable
and whore. therefore. u representative system
Is Indispensable II the citizens are to take
nnJ part at all in the functions OF government
Hearing this definition in mind. We see that
the great advantage OF tho city commonwealth
Is the political education which II gives, the
nigh standard which it tends to Keep up

ural result OF a franchise like that OF Athens,
which made It nt once the right and tho duty

which the mass OF tho citizens can have any
share In tho Government is by sending repre.
sontatives or delegates to tho parliament or
other national assembly. II Is plain that such
franchise as this. indirect In itself and rarely
exercised. cannot supply the same sort OF
political tesching as did q seat In the
AtheniAn Assembly. In large State. a
large number OF the electors would al.
ways remain ignorant and careless Of

Itis pointed out by Prot. Freeman at the outset
that the Achaian League and the United States
since the adoption OF the present Constitution
are the most perfect deve eopments OF the federal
principle which the world has ever seen. The
Swiss Confederation was In Its origin a union
OF the loosest kind. although 1t has gradually
drawn the federal bond tighter and tighter
till. within our own times. 1t has assumed a
form which fairly entities it to rank beside
Achaia and America The claim OF the United
: Provinces is moro doubtful. Their union was
at no period Of their republican existence so
close as that OF Achaia. America. and
modern Switzerland. 1t is only the i'm
portant place which the United Provinces
once filled in European history. and the curl
GUS md instructive nature OF their political
institutions. which entite them to tiRuro con-

amendment adopted IN 1850. repudiated bonds
which had been issued to the amount of
$2275.OOO In 1881. however. the Supreme
Court OF the State decided that the consttu-
tional amendment OF 1860 was itself uneonsti-
tutional. and that the Legislature had n right
TO settle the question OF the bonds repudiated
atthat time. Thereupon an act was passed
providing for the issue OF new bonds to be ex-
changed for the outstanding bonds ana &C.

year after the passage OF the act Minnesota
bonds bearing A. per cent. interest were sold
In quantities sufficient to permit the retire.
ment OF the adjustment bonds. The grounds
upon which Michigan IL included in repudl-
ating states are these: In 1897 the Legisla.
ture authorized her q Governor TO sell bonds
amounting to s5.OOo,0O0 at par. The State
deaulted In the payment of interest in JuIv

amount OF Sl,3s7.OO0 had been sold and paid
Tor In full. and that upon others pledged as

Union would havo secured for what was really

A bill has been formulated and will be
presented to the Legislature to allow
married women to become sole traders
without the restrictions which are now
thrown around the transaction for the
protection of the husbands creditors.
The bill is 'a daisy" One section per-
mits the wife TO invest $500 of the commu-
nifty property without the consent of the
husband and $500 of the husbands sepa-
rate property if he does not kick" The
bill will be complete when a section is
added providing that when the wife has
thus relieved herself from the incum-
brance of a husband the latter shall be
entitled to a decree of divorce without
further action.

ject first, last and all the time.
Then the opposition took the floor.
The first speaker was w. A. Atherton,
whose name has been honored by men
| ton in these columns on a previous oc-
caSlon. In his argument he referred
touchlngly to "our'' territory, "our"
county and "our'' people who are about
to be swallowed up by the big fish OF
riverside, Notwithstanding the fact that

property in any of the counties seeking

else for that matter, and is simply an
agent employed by a political ring at San
Bernardino 10 defeat the Riverside pro-
ject.
But he made a more serious mistake
than trying to palm himself Off on the
committee as a property-holder, appeal
ing for protection against what he was
pleased to term the Riverside despots.
In a lengthy illogical and rambling
speech, teeming with inuendo and hints
Of the corrupt use of money, he made an
lnsinuation against the character of AS
sem blyman Casterline of San Diego
( When the young man from San Berdoon
I had concluded, Mr.. Casterline, than
whom no more honorable man was ever
elected to any Legislature, rose to reply.
~ p to this time, he began, Il have not

projects before the Legislature. Some
days ago this miserable coward who has
dared to attack me here, came to my
room and wanted to make a combination
for the defeat of the Riverside bill.
HE told me that he was the bearer of
petition signed by 900 OF my constituents,
asking me to support the San Jaclnto
measure. l asked to see the petition and
was refused. For a week he has been
sneaking about the Capitol, buttonholing
mem bers of the Assembly. l have asked
him several times to see the petition, and
he always put me of. 1 know, however,
that on that petition is the name OF Will
lam Newport.

Newport asking me to support the River
side bill. | do not know how many
names he has secured under false pre-
lenses, but | take this occasion to warn
the members of the committee against
him as a fraud, and | denounce him here
as liar and a coward.
"He prates about our territory. AS a
matter OF fact he is not a taxpayer and
dropped into san Jacinto on the eve Of
election from heaven knows where.
Soon after this he was picked up by the
San Bernardino crowd and sent here to
kill the Riverside bill by pretending to
represent the people of Northern san
Diego County,"
Mr.. Casterline then took his seat and
Atherton arose to reply. but the mem
bers of the committee refused to listen to
him, and ordered an adjournment until
Monday evening.
