The author. In his preliminary chapter
tells us that he has endeavored to blaze
| the way to safety. "Our fathers he
adds, studied the principles Of the De

| and spirit of the Constitution or me
United States. In the rush and COM

plutocratic millions, and the mad strug-
gle for political power and plumber
good government is neglected, and the
great charters of freedom are relegated
to the dust of Libraries. We must become
students and patriots again or the his
torian Will chronicle the greatest suicide
Of centures-the destruction of the last
republic that promised TO federate the
world"
The "catechism" is n series OF ~uestious
and answers touching the proceedings OF
the Indianapolis and Philadelphia con-
ventions. the several articles of con-
federation and OF the Constitution,
prominent men who figured in framing
the instruments, and decisions bearing
upon the Constitution"
In this "catechism," unquestionably,
some very interesting facts are brought
out. The author vigorously antagonizes
legislative invasion OF the Constitution.
He calls for a reputation Of 1.-THE amend
inents to the Constitution, which igno-
rant ambitious. and designing men in
Congress draft every session in the In
terest Of nationalism." He would have
the Supreme Court understand that there
Is no national government on this Con-
tinent, but confederation sovereignties,
and would bid the judges cease their en-
croachments upon the rights Of the
| States. The demand of the period. he
thinks. is that we demand Of Congress
q rigid adherence to the Constitution In
every act OF legislation"
