tied traits of the people. The first
class may be called the Instituted
forces, or institutions proper, OF a
1ation-whateve be the exact form
and name Of its government; whiie
the second class may be considered
as organic and innate, being natural
and intui.ive in the people to whom
they belong.
1t will be readily seen that while
both these classes of social and po-
litical forces are important and in
dispensable to the proper existence
and preservation Of a stable and
prosperous government, the organic
are of vastly more consequence ard
value than the instituted forces, for
the re ason that the latter are merely
declaratory of the former, and may
change in their form or vary in
their administration to suit the me-
cessities and growth of the people.
In other words, the instituted forces
or institutions of country are but
the visible and flexible manifesto
tons of its organic and social ideAs,
which are as enduring, persistent
and characteristic as the physical
traits and mental habits of the race
to which they belong.
In reviewing the history of man
kind the student is familiar with
the significant fact that in all the
shifting scenes of humanity, amid
the rise and fall of kingdoms and
nationallties, one great race has
pursued it's consistent, continuous
and irresistible course Of conquest,
dominion and glory, gradually ris-
ing in each successive age to loftler
triumphs of intellectual proves
and practical supremacy. TO this
pre.eminent member of the human
family ethnologists and historians
have given the name, Aryan, aud
its most conspicuous and distinc.
tive types in ancient and modern
times have been the Greeks, Romans
and Teutons.
Of the three races | have men
mentioned-the Greeks, Romans
and Teutons-the first two, each in
truth, reached the highest point of
human development and transmitted
its trophies to the next, while the
third is yet climbing the scale of
national life and passing forward
the results of the achievements to
the advancing children of its own
household, as we'll as dispensing it's
spirit over other and alien races.
Greece reared among her charmed
valleys and along her dimpling
coasts a cluster of free and indie
pendent cities, whose liberal cul.
ture, transcendent love of art in it's
most beautiful forms, skillful devo-

GUS moods and heroic regard for
personal and political freedom in its
widest and minutest sense, have
never been rivalled by the highest
aspiration of any later or luftier
successor. As her marvellous bril-
liancy burned out its fires by the
very intensity of their concentra-
ton, Rome caught up the sacred
touch, became the pupil and pat

and matchless political genius

of the known world, planting the

When at last the very immensely of
her empire impeded its successful
administration, and being no longer
a free city, Rome was unworthy to
