BREAKERS AHEAD.

The theory on which our Institu-
tions are founded is that sovereignty
rests with the people; but this is
mere fictloa as facts in the history of
the country have frequently demon
strated. Theoretically speaking the
citizens of the republic may be the
highest authority; but practically, pol
iticians and the agencies they SCI IN
motion control affairs in the United
States as absolutely as the czar does in
Russia or the emperor in Germany
The primaries are the only purely
democratic element in the government,
and these are so much uuder the dom
ination of cliques and factions that
they rarely give expression to the
choice of the individual voter.
"Slates" are made up and kept secret
until the hour when the ballot is being
cast, and then Sovereignty" has little
opportunity to counteract the baneful
influence and citizens 90 to the polls
and vote the ticket their masters have
made for them. 1t may be. as the la
mented Lincoln said, a government OF
the people and for the people; but the
wishes of the many are frequently
subservient to the dictation of the few.
Tomorrow will be the day fixed for
holding the Republican primaries in
this county, and we have hoped that.
there would be no attempt at factional
control. 1t Is very important, with
the great national interests that will
be affected by the election in this state
next June, that there should be perfect
harmony in the ranks of the party,
and this cannot be when there is
the least suspicion that delegates
to the county convention have been
named for the purpose of placing nom-
nations on state, district and county
tickets under factional control. If
there had been the least effort made to
bridge over chasms and heal old sores
Wascc county would have given the
largest Republican majority this year
she ever gave; but this is hopeless
while those who have hitherto proved
false to candidates on the ticket arro-
gate to themselves the naming of del
egates to be elected at the primaries.
For the sake of party success, and the
interests at stake, these should have
kept in. the background. If they do
not the result in June will be land at
their doors.

At this late day, and after he has
been sentenced to be hanged, it seems
an examination is to be made into the
sanity of Prendergast. the slayer of
Mayor Harrison of Chicago. This
matter should have been settled at the
trial; but there was an urgent demand
by the press of the country that he he
hanged, sane or insane, and the jury
brought in verdict of guilty, pre-
samably, to satisfy public opinion.

THE ENTIRE BILL Is FAULTY

The entire bill is most unfortunately
constructed; nearly every sentence pre-
sents uncertainty and invites controversy
as to its meaning and intent. The first
section is especially faulty In this re-
spect, and it is extremely doubtful
whether its language will permit the. con-
summation OF its supposed purposes.
am led to believe that the promoters of
the bill intended in this section to pro-
vide for the coinage of the bullion cone
stituting the gain, or seigDiorsge as i, is
called. into standard silver dollars, and
vet there is positively noihipg in this
section 10 prevent Its coinage into any
description of silver coins now author
lied under any existing law. l suppose
tins section is also intended, in case the
needs of the treasury called for monev
faster than the seiSniorage bullion could
actually be coined, to permit the issue of
silver certificates in advance of such coin
age; bat its language would seem to per
init the issuance OF such certificates to
double the amount # the seigniorage as
stated, one-half of which wou d not rep
resent an ounce of silver in the treas
ury.

COMING THE REMAINDER.

The second section directs that as soon
as possible after tle coinage of this selg-
nIOrage the rtmaioder of the bullion he d
by the government shall be coined lnto
legal tender silver dollars. and that they
shall be held in the treasury tor the re-
demption OF the treasury notes Issued in
the purchase Of said bullion. 1t provides
that as fast as the bullion shall be coined
for the redemption of said notes they
shall not be reissued, but shall be can.
celed and destroyed In amounts equal
to the coin held at any time in the treas.
ury derived from the coinage provided
for, and that silv certificates shall be
issued on such coin In the manner now
provided by law 1t is, however, espec.
tally declared in said section that the act
shall not be construed to change the ex
i-,ing laws relating to the legal tender
character or mode .oi tedemption of the
treasury notes issued for the purchase of
silver bullion to be coined.

The following are scme of the reasons

message:
OBJECTIONS TO THE BILL
Having referred to some incidents
which deem relevant to the subject, II
remains for me to submit specific state-
ment of my objections to the bill now
under consideration. The bill consists
ot two sections, exclu ling the one which
merely appro PIRATES a sum sufficient to
carry the act into effect.
The first section provides for the imme-
date coinage ot the silver bullion IN the
treasury. which represents the so-called
gain or seigniorage which would arise
from coming all the bullion on hand,
which gain or seigniOrage this section
declares 10 be $50, 1855 6Sl. 1t directs
that money sn called. or cert ,fcates issued
thereon, shall be used in payment of pub>
lie expenditures. and provides that i. the
needs Of the treasury demand it the Sec
ret,ry OF the treasury may, in his di-cre
ton, issue silver certIfca'es in excess OF
such coinage, no, exceeding the amount
nf the selgnior ge in said sect on author.
