the government is deprived Of an inherent
attribute Of its being, necessary power Of
taxation,
However, if it is siuon-pure, Jeffer-
sonian democracy these representative
critics want, suppose they substitute
for the plank so bitterly denounced
the sentiments of Mr.. jefferson him
self
In the course Of a letter to Thomas
Richie, December 25. 1920, Mr.. Jeffer-
sou said,
The judiciary Of the United States is the
subtle corps Of sappers and miners constantly
working underground to undermine the foun-
dat.Ons of the confederate fabric They are
constituting our constitution from a cO-ordina-
ton Of general and special government to
general and supreme one alone, Having found
from experience that impeachment is an i'm
practicable thing, mere scarecrOW, they con
sidered themselves secure for life, they skulk
from responsibility. An opinion is huddled up
in conClaYe perhaps by majority Of one de-
liYered as if unanimous, and with the silent
acQuiescence Of lazy and timid associates by
crafty chief justice who sophisticates the law
to his own mind bg the turn OF his own rea-
soning,
In 1920, Mr. Jarvis sent a book to
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote a letter
acknowledging its receipt, in which he
said;
You seen, in pages 81 and f4s, to consider the
judges as the ultimate arbitrators Of all con-
stitutional q1estions-a very dangerous doc
der the despatism Of an oIyarchy. Our judges
are as honest as other men, and not more so.
They have, with others, the same passions
for party, for power and the privilege Of their
corps, Their maxim is "Boni iudtcis est am
piiare iurisdCtionem, and their power is more
dangerous as they are In ofnc5 for life, and not
responsible, as the other funCtionaries are, to
the elective control The constitution has
erected no such single tribunal, knowing that,
to whatever hands cOnfded, with the cOrrup-
lions Of time aai party, its members would be-
come deSpots. It has more wisely made all
the departments co-equal and co-sOYeTeign
within themselves.
Or, If it is Lincoln republicanism
they are seeking, then they should re-
member that Abraham Lincoln, in his
first inaugural address, delivered to
congress March 4, 1861, expressed eZ-
actly the popuIist-democratic position
in regard to decisions of the supreme
court. He said:
| lido not forget the position assumed by some
that constitutional questions are to be decided
! ny the supreme court; nor do deny that such
| decision must be binding in any case, upon the
parties to the suit as to the object Of that suit
| while they are aIso entitled to very high re-
spect and consideration in all parallel cases by
| all other departments OF the government.
| At the same time if the policy Of the
| government upon vital questions affecting the
whole people, is to be irreYOcably fixed By the
| decisions Of the supreme court the
| people will have ceased to be their own rulers
having to that extent practically resigned theiE
| government Into that eminent tribunal

Their work was nearly finished, and
they were eagerly looking forward to
their return home, when Mdlle. Rensn

Amschitm, near Byblos, a fsvorite

Beyrout as a resting place for the
short remaining time, but scarcely

There was no one in the village COM

the doctor from Beyrout arrived it
was too late to save Henriette.

Upon the eastern side Of the American

have persisted in the vain attempt to Ua-

similar current in the Pacific ocean
makes Alaska green and beautiful
wherever the snow deigns to ALLOW poF-
tons Of the earth to be subjected to its
influence.
The influence Of the currents OF warm
water causes some strange things in
Norway itself. Upon the western slope
of the central mountain range, the Gle
mate is much more mild and the vegeta-
tion more luxuriant than upon the east
ern, but what is more remarkable is the
fact that in some particulars the re-
suits of differences in latitude seem TO
be reversed. The central portions Of the
coast are slIirted with islands, while
there are but few in the far north. On
this account the Gulf Stream, flowing
north of Scotland. strikes directly
against the mainland toward the North
Cape, but is broken and diverted By the
islands further south. At the North
cape, and for 100 or more miles south,
we found almost no snow at an eleva-
ton of 1000 feet above the sea, while
300 or 400 miles further south the shores
were covered with snow during the first
half of July nearly down to the waters

No professor is more kindly remem'
bered by the "boys" who graduated from
Wesleyan university a generation ago
than Prof. Johnston, OF "Uncle John.
ME-" as he was more Familiarity known.
Besides having a profound scientific
mind far in advance of his time, he had
a keen relish for a good joke, whether
on himself or another. In order to aid
the students of geology in grasping the
essential distinction between the various
classes of rock, he requested them 10
bring in specimens and place them on
his desk before the recitation began.
One day a student brought in a piece
of brick, secured from a building being
erected near the college, and placed it
on the table among the other specimens.
"Uncle Johnnie" came IN a few mo
ments later, and, apparently unsuspict-
ing the hoax, began the recitation as
usual by picking up the specimens, one
at time, naming them, and remarking
their peculiaTities. "This, gentlemen,
is a piece of sandstone; this is granite;
while this, somewhat similar in its for
nation, is quartz And this" taking

In 1892 the National League of Re-
publican clubs issued a campaign book
for the use of republican speakers, 1t
was labeled: THE Principles and Poll
cies of the Republican Party" On
pages So aad 81 the following argument
is made against the gold standard:
There is grave danger in the unqualified
adoption OF the gold standard. For as silver
has boon taken out OF EurOpe's coinage, the
demand for gold has enormous grown and
grown in proportion mush greater than the
supply Measuring both metals by the stand
ard Of commodities, it is substantially true
to say that gold has appreciated much more
than silver has deprecated In the silVeT-using
countries silver will buy almost as much OF
everything except gold as it would ten or
a dozen years ago, aud this fact sustains the
demand for cheaper money. The advocates OF
the gold standard allsge that the value Of gold
is intrinsic, aud that 4 certain quantity Of gold
bullion having "a liked vtlus should be the
standard Of exchange. Thts would be all Weu
enough if anyone were able 10 insure that the
supply Of gold would continually increase il
ratio with the increasing demand for it caused
b. growing population ana commerce. Bat,
as a matter or fact, it is decreasing in that
ratio and therefore a man who tea years ago
contracted debt which might then have been
discharged vita a thousand bushels Of wheat
must to-day pay many more than a thousand
bushels 10 get himself tree
The meaning is clear. The capitalist can
increase his wealth by simply converting it
into gold, putting IL in vault and holding it
idle for a series Of years At the end OF ten
years it will buy more provisions aud more L.
Dor than It would when be stored t. As tic
supply Of geld contracts everybody must work
harder to get it. Il is plaiu that debtor is
entitled to discharge his obligations for a
value precisely similar TO that ne originally
obtained. lie cannot DO this il the money in
which his loan is comp1lsively payable in
cresSeS between the date OF iis making and
the date Of its payment. Measured in gold ali
obligations nave thus increased in d very short
period OF time The creditor class enjoys,
therefore. vast adyantag5 over the debtor
class. Mea who work for q living and VINO
consume thsir earnings year byyear are placed
in most gafair position.

And so Thomas c. Platt is going

cording to all information that can be
secured from Mr.. Platt's friends and
from his enemies, he has fully determ-

Mckinley and Mark Hanna have nice
things to say about him. The great
Republican organization of New York
the greatest and most harmonious
machine ever erected is unanimously
for him, says the New York Herald.
Time brings great changes. Things
always come around to him who waits.
1t reads like a romance, this rise of
Plat to political prominence during
the seventies and his retirement from
public life, crushed and defeated in
Conkling's company, in 1881, and then
his steady advancement by the hard

teen busy years to his present position
of being absolutely the dictator of the
politics of the Empire State. Probably
no other man could have done it. Few
