THE DANGER OF MAJORITY RULE

One of the decisions that endangers
the permanence of republican govern
ment, is unlimited majority rule. One
man power is bad for the individual
and as a sequence. bad for the aggre-
CATION Of individuals called society,
but it is extremely doubtful if it is any
worse in its ultimate effects, than the
unrestricted rule Of the majority.
There are certain natural rights of the
individual citizen which cannot be in
terfered with OF wrested from him eX-
cept by usurpatiOn Of authority and in
defiance of natural law. The inalien
able rights spoken of in the Declaration
of Independence, apply TO the individ-
ual citizen and not to the aggregation
of individuals popularity known as So
ciety, and was SO understood by the
writer and signers of that instrument.
Majority rule is only safe within cir
cumscribed limits. but unrestrained
there is no limit to the resultant evils.
Every man owes certain duties To so
ciety without which there could be no
social organiZat ton, but never at the
expense of his natural rights. 1t only
requires a moiety of common sense to
determine what should and should not
be submitted to the decision of a vote.
and its serious consideration is of vital
importance TO all who estimate liberty
at its true value. The constitution of
he United States is a sufficient safe
guard TO the liberties of the individual
citizen, but the increasing disposition
on the part of many-Oath-bound to de-
fend ito violate its conservative pro-
visions. if persisted in much longer. is
bound TO engender reatening discOn-
tent which may end diSastrously TO the
liberties of all. Governmental super
vision 10 be safe must be strictly con-
fined within constitutional limits TO the
material Interests affecting the public
al large. but in. nowise trench upon the
domain Of conscience. Inconsiderate,
reckless legislation. soon or late. breeds
turbulence. with destructive tenden-
cieS; while ScrupulouS regard for the
rights of the humbleSt as well as the

DEMOCRATS NEVER LEARN.

The administration organs OF the
country are setting up dismal wall
over the failure of congress to pass any
relief measure, they citing the fact that
the emergency tariff bill, which passed
the house, is hopelessly dead. There
is no miStaking the fact that there Is
great disappointment throughout the
country over the present status of af-
fairs. But who is TO blame: The
Democratic papers say that it is the
silver Republicans of the senate. The
truth is the Republican members of
both houses showed not only willing
ness but an active desire 10 make a
prompt response to the presidents call
for assistance. but another truth. just
as evident. is the fact that the bill has
been hampered and handicapped from
the start by Democrats. by the very
men whom it was supposed would be
glad of the chance 10 sustain their own
administration. The emergency tariff
measure was only passed by the house
by a very large working Republican
majority in spite of Democratic OBJ
struction. Carlisle himself threw into
the situa ton a decided obstruction in
the shape of an opinion and a recon-
mendation for the relief of the treas
ury. Then followed the pertdious
conduct of the administration toward
the bill in the senate. Every possible
pretext and Subrerfuge has been eager
" seized by the Democratic senators
10 sidetrack and blockade the measure.
1t has been weighed down by riders
and amendments and mutilated and
malrreated in every conceivable fash
ion. until today the people nave really
abandoned all hope Of securing the
much needed relief which this emer-
gency measure was framed TO provide.
The Republicans in both branches Of
congress cannot but feel disappointed
over the miscarriage of their good IN
tentions. and prominent Democrats are
now beginning 10 acknowledge mat the
Republican standpoint is the correct
one. and that the only effective way 10
