tuition They were called anti Federasts."
They favored reservng to the States every SOW
eregn right possible. They opposed the creation
of too strong a National government and they
particularly defended the institution Of human
slavery. then almost general throughout the
country. but especially strong in the South In
the convention they agreed. grudgingly, to the
surrender of important rights Of the independent
States. When the convention had finished its
work they opposed the adoption of the Constitu-
ton by the people And then. after they had
been defeated and the new Constitution had been
ratified by the States. they insisted on the strict
est and most literal construction of its provi-
sions. In Congress they opposed nearly every
measure. no matter how patriotic or beneficial,
for which they could not find authority in the
express language of the Constitution. Their
leader was Thomas Jefferson.
The Federalists were the ancestors of what Is
now known as the Republican party The Anti
Federalists became in due time the Democratic
party.
In spite Of opposition. the people adopted the
Federal Constitution and George Washington
became the first President of the Republic on
April 30. 1889. without a solitary electoral vote
in opposition.
The Democratic party of the United States
therefore. began its existence by opposing the
adoption of the Constitution. Ii finally became
dominated by the Iand-Owning shareholders OF
the South. and then became the champion OF
human slavery and the contemptuous opponent
Of popular education. free labor. good wages for
American workmen ownership Of the land by
small farmers. and in general Of the rights Of all
classes of the people who earn their bread by the
toll of their hands.
EARLY REPUBLICANISM.
The Republican party first took the field as
"Federalists." They supported George Washing
ton John Adams Alexander Hamilton and their
political associates and controlled public affairs
Of the Nation for the first twelve years under the
Constitution. Now what did they do while they
had the power? Their very first act was to
encourage American manufactures and shipping
and give employment to the unoccupied labor OF
the farms sea coasts and cities, by levying dis
eliminating duties on foreign goods and ships.
They caused the war debts OF the original
thirteen States to be assumed by the National
Government in order to stimulate the sentiment
Of nationality They raised an ample revenue
for the Government mainly from import duties

LONDON. April 12.-The speech Of the
first lord of the admiralty. George j.
Goschen. Mt the farewell banquet rendered
on Saturday to Sir Alfred Miner, the
newly appointed high commissioner of
Great Britain in South Africa. has pro-
dueed a great sensation and the imminence
of war between Great Britain and the
Transvaal is the common talk of the
street.
Referring to the presence of British
blue jackets and marines in South Africa.
Mr.. Goschen said:
They are to represent 20 Sir Alfred
Miner. British power in South Africa.
They are the guarantee TO him and to our
colonists. 20 the loyal men who support
British rule. that this country IS deter
mined to maintain its supremacy in these

the total outlay for the completion OF
the exposition plant will aggregate
about S1.25O.0O0. The amount seems
small compared with the results OBJ
tanned. It seems small also when COM
pared with the prodigal cost of the
Chicago Exposition, but at Nashville,
il must be considered, there has been
no waste, and materials were obtained
at rock-bottom prices, while at Chicago
everything was paid for at inflated
rates. What is likewise very remark
able is the statement that at present
not a dollar of debt exists to harass
and annoy the management. On May
/. when the gates are opened, every
pecuniary obligation will have been dis
charged-an exceptional experience, it
must be conceded, in the experience of
expositions.
The scope of this enterprise embraces
the greatest variety of agricultural
manufacturing, mining, mechanical
and artistic products, and the exhibit
ton will afford a series of object les
sons of great utility and value. There
are also to be numerous amusements
on the grounds, so that all kinds OF
sight-seers may be pleased, and the
throngs of visitors will be delighted
with the genial inequalities for which
the people of Nashville are famous.

ANOTHER MAD DOG SCARE.

Two Dogs Get into a Fight on South Mar
ket street and the Owners Follow Their
Example.
Mad dog scares are frequent these
days. Another one occurred on the
South Side last evening. A well
known young business man, who owns
a dog that is quite a favorite, was go
ing down Market street with his Cog
when. in front OF Ebelings pharmacy,
a small water spaniel ran I'D and sought
to interview the larger dog. The big
ger dog caught the spaniel in his teeth
and began to shake him vigorously.
The owner Of the spaniel saw the dogs
fighting from his ODper story window
and rushed out on the street and sep
arated them. He got the larger dog
and proceeded to beat the animals
brains out on the curbstone when the
other dog owner interfered, and Cabling
him by the throat, compelled him 10
desist. The affair caused considerable
excitement, and a large crowd collected
around the disputing owners and dogs.
The owner Of the spaniel hunted up a
policeman and wanted the other dog
killed. alleging that It was mad. The
report got out that the animal was mad
and served to intensity the excitement.
