evident, embodied, incarnated and in
corporated into law when mankind was
ready to receive it, and henceforth it
would become the ruling principle of all
governments. Life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness follow as an economic fac
tor and beacon light directing the mid
night traveller through the wilderness
of special privilege, to the morning light
of AL governments derive their just
power from the consent of the gov
erned."
This has been prophecy, and remains
a dormant sentiment in our national
life. Are we now ready for the ques-
ton? How much just power has been
derived, if more than half the pOpula-
ton are unconsented women? And how
much of this grand declaration that
heralded to the world the birth of new
nation by the ringing of the liberty bell
120 years ago, how much is still dead
letter? And how much is to be delivered
annually only, in patriotic allopathic
doses, to the uneasy multitude as a po-
litico- o-therapeutics, warranted to cure all
ills of a mal-administrative nature, and
keep the citizen in fair state of health
till the next Fourth of July patriotic eX-
plosive climax? Our ancestors fought
their battles, declared their rights and
are held up to us as demigods for their
revolutionary spirit Shall we continue
to wear their old clothes, obey their
laws, be lost in their constitutions, con-
demned by infallable judiciary inter-
pretations, submissive victims of for
mula out of date?
Shall we, too, revel in too much glory
and die of too much patriotism for the
days of our forefathers? Revolutions
are the result of a soulless power,
whether it be king or republic asking
obedience through the dignity of the
law, while continuing expediency of JUS
tice, and trying to make past methods
security for the present. All history
of national growth never exactly repeats
itself, though it has carried record of
continual births of rights, divine rev.
elation so to speak, to man, a new i'm
pulse seeking expression in changed re-
lations. The eleventh amendment is to-
day moral awakening, a spiritual dis
cernment of truth and justice that is to
help pioneer reform and bring about
national equipoise, by readjusting gov
ernment machinery to our larger growth
and greater good. S. A. BOWMAN.

SPEED oE INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels a NJ
Thirty-three Seconds.


1t is the popular belief that the
of the birds is much swifter than
Of the insects, but a number Of MAJ
lists who have been making a stu
the matter think that such is no
case.
A common house fly, for examI
not very rapid in its flight, br
wings make 500 beats a seconc
send it through the air 90 feet,
ordinary circumstances, in that sp.
time. When the insect is alarmed,
ever, it has been found that it c;
crease its rate Of speed to over 1Gt
per second. If it could continue
rapid flight for a milo in straight
it would cover that distance in e.
33 seconds.

travelling by rail in the summer ii
see q bee or wasp keeping up Wi
train and trying to get in at one q
windows. A swallow is considere.
of the swiftest Of flying birds,
was thought until recently that
sect could escape it.
Anaturalist tells Of an exciting
he saw between q swallow and q 6
fly, which is among the swiftest 4
sects. The insect flew with incr
speed and wheeled and lodged

The Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee has its list of the can
didates who were elected as represen-
tatiyes to the next Congress at the
election just held. II is complete with
the exception OF South Dakota and Wy
oming. The former is believed to have
elected two Republicans and the latter
one Democrat Leaving out these two
states, the relative strength OF the three
parties is as follows: Republicans, 206;
Democrats, 1874; Populists and Silver
ties, IA. Were the Democrats and Pop
ulists to vote together the Republicans
would still have their full vote OF 206
against 14s. It is worthy Of remark
that the committee comedies the cleo
tion OF Hon. l.. Irving Handy in this
state. With a majority Of 58 votes
over both Democrats and Populists
there will be no incentive for the Re-
pubicans to unseat anybody, much less
man like Mr.. Handy, who has such a
handsome majority.

THE GOVERNORS POSITION.


We have authority for the statement
that the Morning News is entirely
wrong when it assumes that Governor
Watson's proclamation regarding the
electoral ticket has any direct Or in
direct reference to or bearing upon the
merits of the Kent county returns
made by the coroner and a majority of
the Board Of Canvass.
Under the law there is a distinct cer-
tificate made for presidential electors,
wherein It IS provided that the exact
number OF votes cast for each person
shall be written out in words at length
1t is to that particular certificate that
the governors note in his proclamation
has reference. His criticism does not
apply to any of the other certificates
from Kent county and has no bearing
whatever upon the state and county
candidates so far as the vote OF Kent
county is concerned. 1t is not his in
tention to express any opinion what
ever relative to what would be his
course upon other matters. The gov
ernor felt at liberty to announce the
election OF electors without the Kent
county vote, inasmuch as the vote of
that county could not under and cir
cumstance change the result. Had any
change in the result been possible he
would have delayed issuing his proc
lamation until the proper tribunal
could have had an opportunity to pass
upon the merits Of the case pending in
Kent.

The Philadelphia Times expresses
the following editorial opinion on the
Shaw case:
Governor Watson, OF Delaware, has
arrived at the very sensible conclusion
that the affix "Sr." is no part OF a
mans name, and that the votes cast
for James G. Shaw and James G. Shaw,
Sr, for presidential elector, were cast
and should be counted for one and the
same man.
"This decision gives Mckinley the
three electoral votes of Delaware, to
which he was clearly entitled If the in
tentions of a majority OF the voters are
given effect. He did not need the ex-
ira vote TO elect him, but he would
have been defrauded out of one vote
the citizens of Delaware intended tc
give him had the decision been other

Both Democrats and Republicans
will commend Governor Watson for his
manly action in proclaiming the cleo
tion Of James G. Shaw, Sr, the Repub-

tor He is not a man who would take
advantage of a clerical error or omis-
sion to set aside the manifest will of
the people. Feeling confident that a
majority Of the voters of Delaware in
tended that James G. Shaw, Sr., should
go to the Electoral College and cast
his vote for Mckinley and Hobart. and
that when they voted for James G.
Shaw they believed that their votes
would be counted for James G. Shaw,
ST., he determined that their wishes
should be respected.
