the labor leaders at Friday nights con
ference in this city to send organizers into
West Virginia and furnish funds to
bring out the miners of that state, prac-
ticallv narrows down the strike to Il con
test between the coal operators of West
Virginia and the labor unions of the
country. The cry of the strikers VIII
be that with West Virginia in line the
strike will be ultimately successful. No
money or effort will be spared, it is said,
to accomplish the suspension of every
mine in that state. AS last resort the
railroad employees will be brought into
the fight if possible.
Grand Master Arthur, chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
was asked to issue an order to engineers
not to haul coal until the miners diff
ferences are adjusted.

strikers are the miners employed al

PROFESSOR HOUSTON ON sOVER-
EIGHTY

We have not read the work of Profess
or ID. Il. Houston of the University of
Texas entitled "A Critical Study of
Notification in South Carolina" but if
he is quoted correctly by writer in the
st. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat, he has innOva.
ted largely on the principle of state sover-
eighty. Professor Houston has, as the
writer says, given evidence of the growth
of a national spirit that is in direct OPP
position to the principles of state sOver-
eighty held by the leading statesmen of
his native state, South Carolina. He is
quoted as saying that "the states were
not, when the constitution was formed,
and never had been separate and indie
pendent sovereigns.'
If that is true, what was the necessity
of submitting the constitution of the
United States to the states, lacking in
sovereign power to ratify any compact
made by their representatives in the con-
stitutional convention? If Professor
Houston's position is correct, then the
convention was not a legally authorized
body, nor is the federal government Il
legally organized government. because if
the respective states were not sovereign
they assumed a power of ratification
that did not exist unless Professor
Houston assumes the only alternative
traversing the principle of state sovcr-
eighty, and that is that the people of the
respective states were sovereign. That
would refine down the controversy to "a
distinction between Tweedledum and
Tweedlcdce."
1t might now be contcndcd with much
plausibility that neither the states nor
the federal government was absolutely
sovereign, because if the states were
originally sovereign they respectively con-
terred part of that sovereignty on the
federal government, and the federal gov
eminent would not be sovereign because
the states retained Il part of the soyer-
eighty. The best compromise, even upon
that view of the subject, would be that
the states are sovereign as far as their
authority was not conferred on the fed
eral government, and the federal govern
ment is sovereign as far as the authority
had been conferred ON it by the states.
But that does not affect the status of
the states previous to the adoption of the
federal constitution. These states had
separate existence and were fully con-
Stltutcd as sovereign states but tho mr.
ticles of confederation were too loose
for permanent federal government, and
the result was a constitutional conyen-
ton solidifying the federal government
into limited sovereignty given it by the
states.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-05-20
IS SOUTHERN OPINION ON STATE
SOVEREIGNTY CHANGING.

Northern and eastern writer's are con.
graduating the country that the ideas
on state sovereignty are undergoing a
change in the native population of the
southern states under the critical acumen
of southern writers, reared and educated
| in the souin since the Civil war. The
fact that several southern writer's of abil-
ity have recently published views antag-
onistc to state sovereignty is no sign that
southern opinion is changing on this sub
ject. There always was a considerable
element of southern statesmen, writers
and law lecturers that disputed the SOW
creignty of the states before the war,
and we do not believe their number or
| the talent on that side has materially
increased.
The University of Virginia was by far
the leading educational institution in the
south before the Civil war, and the Uni
versity of Virginia at that time had two
law lecturers, both now dead. that diff
fcred radically on that subject. Pro-
fcssor HolcOmb believed and taught his
crcign and delegated only certain author
ity to the federal government, and he
sustained his position by logical argu-
mcnts while on the contrary Professor
Minor believed and so taught the law
class that the federal government was
the only sovereign and he sustained his
position by logical arguments, for there
are strong arguments on both sides.
In fact. the wing party took issue with
the democratic party on that question.
There was, in fact, great political party
in the south that elected its nominees
for the presidency that declared that SOW
ereignty rested alone in the federal head
the national government, and while there
may be individual advocates Of the lat
ter doctrine in the south, they certainly
are not as numerous and as respectable
in talent now as then. SO that it does
not seem to us that there are any CON
gratulatiOns due on account of the
larger development of the idea south
since the war than before the
war or that the belief in the
sovereignty of the federal govern
ment as against the sovereignty of the
states is advocated by more native born
southcrncrs now than before the war.
1t is true that it is doctrine of the re-
publican party, but the representatives of
that party never discuss that issue be-
cause it is largely composed of voters
who do not understand it and the intel
ligent republicans very correctly regard
it as n dead issue settled by the war and
the compulsory acknowledgements in the
of many of the southern |
states that the federal government and |
its laws are supreme.
