Not only the unexpected but the un-
heard of has happened. The President
of the United States has set himself up
as a dictator and has issue ukase
like the car of Russia that he expects
to be obeyed. He still maintains
show of Difference to law and form,
but the cloven foot of dictatorship is
plainly visible.
And the saddest and most appalling
spectacle is the beastly indifference
with which press and public look
upon the unwarranted assumption
of power by the new dictator.
When the fathers founded the re-
public, they carefully framed the
constitution to guard against one
man power and monarchial form OF
government. They provided for three
branches of government, each to be
independent of and coordinate with
the other; the executive 1.-THE Presi-
dent) to execute the laws; the
legislative (the copgress) to enact the
laws and the Judiciary (the judges) to
define the laws Each as far as pos
sible was to be independent of the
other, and never in the history of the
country from George Washington was
this provision of the constitution VIC
lated, until dull and fostering otter
ally and physically lump of beef was
elected to disgrace the Office honored
by Washington, Jefferson and Lin
coin. Grover Cleveland has not only de-
bauched the Judiciary, by the appoint
ment of servile corporation tools as
judges, but he has done what no
President before him would have
dared to do, had any one of them been
mean enough to do it, which is doubt
full. He has not only secretly dictated
to individual members OF congress
and bribed them with offices for them
selves and friends, but has now taken
a step openly, that would cause his
impeachment and removal from office
in disgrace, did not the money power
control the press and the politicians.
Heretofore no President ever dared
intimate that he would veto pend
ing bill. Aside from the fact that
under the constitution this would be
looked on as an act of unlawful i'm.
pertinence, it was a violation of tact
and good breeding. But brutal die
tators possess neither, and Cleveland
is one of the most brutal Under the
form of a letter to Congressman Will
son, which Cleveland gave permis'
sion" to be read in congress, he sent
his ukase to his cuckoos in that body
and to the nation.
Strange that none recognize the in
fanny, the shallow pretense OF that
letter. Cleveland and Wilson are in
the same city. They have been hold
ing conferences and private discus
sions and have been together every
day. What was the need of one writ
ing a letter to the other, only to bring
It before congress in that form so as
TO hide the assassin's dagger who was
numbering American liberty and is
ready to assume the dictatorship?
Gov. Hogg OF Texas, speaking
of lesser crime, the sending of U. s.
troops into Illinois in violation of the
constitution, says that dark days are
before the republic and that it will be
drenched in blood in six months. II
begins to look that way. And the
cause of it will be the assumption OF
the dictatorship by the lawless, an
archistic and conscienceless brute.
