and his colleagues asked the opinion OF
the court If it was not their intention
to abide by it when givens And does
not the statement that the decision will
be ignored prove that the Democrats
were insincere in desiring it, and simply
asked it in spirit of bluff and buster,
and with no other purpose than that OF
binding the people to their illegal
course at Newport?
Colonel Honey may disregard the de-
cision if he chooses. He may even be
able to get few supporters from the
ranks of the Democracy, but he will
find that the great body Of law-abiding
citizens of every shade of political senti-
ment will condemn him. Rhode
Islanders will not tolerate revolution,
nor countenance the man who advocates
revo lutionary methods.

unlikely, since the American peopl
have not advanced yet to that stage OF
perfection at which they cease to fur
nish instances of ill-judged and corrupt
legislation,
The argument you're another" is not
generally very powerful, bu! in this case
it is as consequential as the extreme
foolishness of The Spectators arraign-
ment of this country deserves. 1t would
be very easy, following The Spectators
method, to "adduce instances" that
would show conclusively the failure OF
the English system of government.
Parliament could be swept out of the
field of usefulness by citing the conduct
of such members as De Cobain, Parnell,
and the rather long list Of Others who
have been forced to withdraw from
public life because of crimes Of very
low degree. The royal family might
easily be cast into oblivion if the bac-
carat habits of its most conspicuous male
member were to be made applicable.
The tremendous business failures,
caused by criminal methods, that have
occurred in England recently will fully
balance anything that can be charged
against this country.
England is great country, maintain
ing her greatness by compelling other
countries to pay tribute to her. Amer
ica is an infinitely greater country,
maintaining her greatness and march
ing at the head Of the procession OF the
nations of the world, solely because OF
her vast resources and the energy and
brains Of her people.
When England sneers at America the
rest of the world laughs, America along
with the great majority.

The Importance Of the Trans Mis-
sissippi Congress which meets at Og-
den on the second day of next May,
has, perhaps, not fully impressed it.
self on the minds Of the public. This
j. the most important representative
sssemblage Of the West. 1t has al
ready influenced legislation, notably
measures for the improvement OF the
Mississippi river. The Congress is be-
coming better known and more iuflu-
sntisl with each session. The meet
ings hitherto have been attended by
400 to 500 delegates. Colorado has
always been represented by a large
delegation OF her most progressive
men. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
brAska, Arkansas, Texas and New
Mexico each had good representa-
ton at the last session. 1t seems to
us that Idaho was one OF the States
not represented. 1t should be. The
object of the Congress is to discuss
all questions affecting the West that
may be the subject of Legislation at
Washington, and speak through its
resolutions to tho National Congress.
Hence irrigation, arid lands, silver,
public lands, the policy of the Seore-
tary Of this Interior, Pacific coast de-
lenses, and many other important
questions come up in q body CON-
posed entirely Of western men. The
Governor of each State and Territory
has right to appoint ten deleg ates;
lthe County Commissioners or County
Judges may name one delegate from
eacA county.
