that the Southern struggle for inde'

of public safety, with declarations OF
the rights of man, or enunciatlon OF
the nightly doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the con-

public statutes, general elections and
constitutional conventions. Mr.. Da.
Wis himself rested, in his inaugural,
the case of the new nation at the bar
of the public opinion of the world, not
upon revolutionary but upon legal
right.
REGARDED AS AN EXPERIMENT..
He quoted the junior senator from
Massachusetts, (Mr. LODGE as saying
that when the Constitution was adopt
ed at Philadelphia, no one, neither
Washington, Hamilton, Clinton nor
Mason regarded the new system as
anything but an experiment, from
which every State had the right peace

States only exercised a righ. which
had often been threatened by New
England, and which was generally
conceded to be constitutional one.

black clouds prevented some
families from going, hut the
fifty or more who did go had as
much pleasure as could be
crowded into the short day.
All carried baskets and the
dinner was superb, an aston

being served to a most appre-
eiative lot Of boys and girls, and
the grown folks, too, compli-
mented the cooks by eating
very heartily.
With story telling. swinging,
gathering wild flowers and
romping in the tangled wild
wood, n little love making, and
CHEEKY conversation, the time
passed swiftly by.
The return in buggies, ear

was made gay and happy b!

peals of laughter by the girls
and the whOoping and funn!

says that on his route he was a

correct, from what he saw and
heard that Bryan is strictly in
it by at least three to one. He
is confident that if the Mckinley

the aseendancy, very few of his

prices were on the bound, ad-

neighborhood of 6OO0 bales as
against 1000 bales this time last

receipts for this season will
