FULLY EMPOWERED.
New York Herald
The power now exercised by the Gov
erument of the United States is as old as
the Constitution itself. 1t is derived from
those provisions of that instrument
which give Congress exclusive control
over the postal service Of the nation and
interstate commerce. Any unWarranted
obstruction of mail trains or interference
with railways engaged in interstate oper-
atoms is violation of the law OF the
United States with which the general
Government is fully empowered TO deal.
MISERABLE CRUELTY.
New York Tribune.l
Weak compassion for those who have
strenuously endeavored TO overturn free
institutions by defying the laws under
which they exist, is miserable cruelty TO
the people of the United States, 1nclud-
ing all the deluded victims OF wicked
labor leaders.
UNFALTERING LOYALTY.
cleveland (O.) Leader.l
All that the country which the fathers
made free Il8 years ago to-day requires
now and henceforth is the loyalty and
unfaltering courage of its sons. No force
OF evil can shake 1t if they are true. No
peril can daunt the friends of freedom,
The world over, if Americans do their
duty to their native land. A little more
unselfish conservation as citizens to the
trust placed in the hands Of freemen, and
all will be well. Then it will be inn
possible to degrade liberty to the level of
license or confuse the eternal truths OF ln-
dependence Day with the poisonous here
sies Of disordered brains and the wild de-
7uands of mob frenzy.
Let us stand firm In defense of the
liberty which is sane and safe. Let the
rights of the individual be upheld more
steadfastly against the tyranny OF classes
or organizations without the pale of the
law, which is open and at the service of
all men.
THE EASTERN SENTIMENT.
IN. Y. Evening Post
There is no room to doubt that the
Die has been powerfully stirred during
The last two weeks. More than one judi
ciOus man has been heard to say that
nothing like it has been seen since the
civil war. IL has been no mere newspa-
Der furry. All classes in society have
been touched, and all parts OF the coun-
try aroused. Men who are too young to
have known the fervid national emotion
which swept over the North Ia 1861, have
1or the first time had their pulses quick
ened by the feeling that there was
something inspiring and majestic III
the idea of national authority which
it would be good 10 spend strength and
life in defending. For most men under
50, in fact the recent revival OF national
sentiment has been the greatest lesson
they have ever had in genuine patriotism.
GOOD SERVICE.
New York Tribune.
Governor Waite of Colorado has done
Q generous thing for that State in declar-
ing that he will not be candidate for
United States Senator. He has also DEM
Onstrated that he can detect a storm
cloud at longer distance than any other
weather prophet IN the business.
HAD a sALUTARY EFFECT.
Oakland Times.l
The talk OF revolution has had the SAL
utary effect OF causing plain people TO
look around and inquire who it is coming
rom. In every community quiet in
Quiry is going on in regard to the char
acter and antecedents of the men who
have been preaching riot and revolution.
It's a personal and individual inquiry,
directed by 20 political party nor organ
iZed on any basis. Men are merely find
lug out where the noise comes from. This
inquiry will be fatal to Populism in this
state, for 1t will De pricked on by the
scenes lately enacted in Colorado, Kansas
and South Carolina.
SYMPATHY STRIKES IN NASHVILLE.
Nashville American.
We regret that several mills and estab-
lishments employing many men and
paying out weekly thousands OF dollars
a wages have been forced to suspend be-
cause of the sympathy" strike in this
city. 1t seems some of our people care
more for the men in Chicago than fol
their felloW-citizens in Nashville.
Sympathy as well as charity should be-
gin at home.
A BOSS OBSERVATION.
Philadelphia Times
Time works wonders. Columbus came
10 this country TO make discoveries and
now the people hurrIedlv leave it fol
