Fatherland, through all vicissitudes OF

mighty, oft-times bloody, struggles OF
religious controversy; through the tri-
umphaI march of the Anglo-SaxOn
race, from the simple habits of a rude
civilization, to the highest reffnement
of artificial society; is a subject so vast
so various in its differentiation that
to comprehend it in its entirety, one
must know not only the facts of history
and the characteristics of the race. but
also the human heart, and the motives
that impel men to action under q given
environment.

ton of the fabric of society and how
came to pass this aggregation that we
call the state.
His richest reward will be in finding
that institutions and laws and consti-
tut1onS belong to the race. because they
are evolved and sifted and purified not
by a generation, but by all generations
of the race; and that today the science
or government, in its highest type, is
pfedlcabed on the evolution OF Anglo
Saxon manners and customs
The composition of the English race
is an important factor in comprehend
ing the constitution.
The consanguinity of the low German
stock from which sprang the Angles and
SaXons, with the Mortimer, the Danes
and the NOrmans, no doubt accounts
Tor the marvellous blending of this COM

While each successive inrOad of con-

for the most part se1f-correcting. and in
very great part self-eXecutory
1t will remain for America alone to
demonstrate, not in one century nor In

has yet evolved.

POWER Is DANGEROUS.
F. L. Williams Arraigns Present Laws
of Impeachment.

F. L Williams Of Clay Center ar
raigned the present law of fmpeach-
ment in his address to the bar associa-
ton He asserted that the ordinary i'm
parchment proceedings before branch
of the legislature is usually brought to
subserVe some sinister political pur-
pose and passed upon by men anxious
to punish a political opponent He
also said:
An examination of the trials in the
various state courts will show that an
impeachment is seldom attempted in
good faith, but is usually the out
growth of political strife, and charges
are made for the purpose of removing
and destroying some offending official
whose chief fault may be his inability
to keep the friendship of his accusers.
THE fact that a conviction may be
had only when the Offense charged is
indictable and that the rules applicable
to trials are the same as in ordinary
courts argues against the necessity of
maintaining the impeaching power.
The weakness of senates shown by a
comparison with the judges of our ordi-
nary courts argues against the eff
cheney of Impeachment courts. The fact
that decisions are always given under
the influence of partisan prejudice and
that motives other than a desire to
purify the public service, lie beneath
the charges argues that the impeach-
ing power is dangerous"
He recommends that it be removed
from the power of legislatures and con-
fined to courts.

NEW CONSTITUTION NEEDED.
Henry Mclean Criticises the Populist
Legislature.

In addressing the bar association,
Henry Mclean of PaOla, who is Pop
ulist, stated that the need of a new
constitution for the state of Kansas is
universally admitted
Self government" he said, lis but
an ideal towards which all modern gov
ernments are tending. The main rea-
son why we do not have a full and com
prehenSiVe system of self government
is because a large body of our people
are not yet believers in self government
or, if they do believe in it, their in
terests are opposed to its realization.
The various classes of men, as a rule,
do not believe in the ability of the
American people to govern them
selves
Mr.. Mclean called attention to the
fact that the people who are directly
cha&ged with the responsibility of ad-
ministering the government, or rather
sustaining the demand that it be right
ly conducted, too often neglect this and
permit political affairs to take care of
themselves. As an example Of the re-
suit of this condition, he said:
The legislature of 1897 although il
was perhaps the least corrupt of any
legislature that has assembled since
before the YOrk-Pomeroy episode, al
though among it's members were some
as loyal and true men as were ever
elected to office, wholly failed. as it's
predecessors had done, to give salts
faction to the people. Enough mem
bers of that legislature so far forgot
the radical demands of their cOnstit-
uents and became so extremely con-
servative that the legislature, as a
whole, gave greater satisfaction to the
party which opposed it than it did to
the party which elected it. The great
est service which the last legislature
rendered the people of the state is that
it showed them beyond any question
that representative government is not
democratic government. To this great
benefit the most venal, as well as the
most conservative members, contribut-
ed most If the last legislature failed
ANONYMOUSLY in putting into execution,
to any considera bic degree, the cardinal
tenets of the party which elected it,
what might the people expect from a
constitutional convention made up OF
the same class of men?'
Mr.. Mclean, as indicated by the sub
iect of his address "A People Made
Constitution recommends that Kan
sas should have such a document. OF
the present constitution he said: 1T
has checks and hindrances which not
only impede the smooth and natural de-
veIopment of our institutions, but they
amount to positive Instructions to any
development at all It repudiates the
fundamental principles of self-govern-
ment by the people and it substitutes
the most vicious form of minority rule

STATE BAR.
CONTINUED from Fourth Page.)

John 1. Games, a foot ball player and
athlete, VINO has represented Kansas
educational institutions in the state or
ator1aI contests, on the gridiron dia-
mOnd, in the ruSheS and in ch11rch
chOirs, had the prize" piece this wear
and he delivered it before the associa-
ton.
The subject was, 1.-The Eleventh
Amendment" an addition to the consti-
tuition of the United States which pro
Vldes; The judicial power of the Uni
ted states shall not be construed to ex-
tend to any suit in law or equity COM
menced or prosecuted against one of the
citizens Of the United States by citi-
zens of another state or by citizens or
subjects of any foreign state"
At the outset Mr.. Games suggests
that were the conditions among men
perfect, there would be no need of law
but we should err in affirming that
there were ne law. For, though it be
silent always, because never trans
crossed, it would still exist in absolute
perfection. The human mind has sought
in all ages to write the basic rules of
right in statutes and constitutions. To
give force to them in the conduct of life
is the ultimatum of civilization; the
measure of mankind
Mr. Games is not in full accord with
the doctrines of the eleventh amend
ment- He believes if the state can
make obligations, it should be held re-
Sponsible for them. He said:
Honesty demands good faith on the
part of the state in all her dealings
with men, but it doth not lie in the
mouth of the courts to command it. If
hard bargains are made with the state
those who make them must abide the
consequences and trust to the clemency
of their state for relief. Might must
forever rule the world, but the might
Jest of all is mercy, for it doth sit above
the sceptered sway of kings and be
comes a monarch better than his crown
It does for man yet more than justice
can, for justice hath a heart of stone
and in her remOrseless scales she
weighs not weakness, ignorance, nor
human inperfections; from her blinded
eyes tears never fall and in her deafen-
ed ears the sobs of human voices never
sound, but the mercy of men and of
states teaches us all that diViner grace
Of charity, we trust, will one day make

REACHING AFTER TRADE.
New York business Firms Want to supply
tho Philippines

New York, Sept. 3.-The business
men of New York are already making
preparations for the commercial con-
quest of the Philippine islands. A doz-
ell or more export houses of this city
have sent agents to Manila to look over
the ground, the Manufacturers Asso-
citation has arranged for elaborate re-
ports. and the Philadelphia Museum
has instructed Its commission, now
travelling in China, to proceed at once
to the conquered territory and report
upon the requirements of the markets
and to furnish such information as Is
needed by the merchants and manufac-
tuners of the United States who desire
to enter the trade.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has sent W. Z. Tisdel to London to
charter vessels for a regular line Of
steamships between San Francisco and
Manila. and Messrs. Charles II. Flint
and w. NJ. WINS of this city, and
Charles II. Cramp and others of Phila-
delphia have organized under the laws
of New Jersey what they call the Poly
nesinn Steamship Company. which will
put on n line of steamers to Manila,
stopping mt Honolulu and ut the Caro-
line and Ladronc Islands. making their
western terminus Mt Manila.
The first steamer Ii now loading In
San Francisco and Will be ready to
sail within n few days with an assert.
ed cargo. including almost everything
that can enter Into the wants Of the
Philippines.
Flint, Eddy 4 Co. recently establish
ed line of steamers between New
York and Australia. Heretofore all OF
our shipments thence by steam have
been either from San Francisco or Lon
don.
The new enterprise Is called the
American and Australian Steamship
Company, and 1t originally announced
one sailing month. but the demand
for freight has made It necessary to
double the service. and the company Is
now sending two steamers n month
from this city.

SPANS COMMISSIONERS.
No One VIII Gu to Paris-A Hot Tint
Coming In tho Cortes.


New York, Sert "A cable to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Premier Sagasta to-day made the
terrifying statement that the debate,
which opens tomorrow, might last
twenty days.
The governmental press generally
takes the view that the coming dis
cussions in the Cortes will have Sc
rious effect upon the Paris commission.
Leon Y Castillo having backed out.
and all the best men having CURLY re-
fused to act upon 1t, only two courses
remain open. One is, as member of
the government said to-day, to fill up
the four missing places with military
men, who would have to accept orders
given them; the other course would be
for Spain to refuse to send commission
ers, basing her refusal upon what
Senior Nloret has designated rs the
utter futility of any commission based
upon the present lines.
After ali there IL no necessity for n
commission. The matter could be ar.
ranged much more easily between the
two governments. The idea of n COM
mission here meets with much less
than Il lack OF encouragement.
The Cortes opens tomorrow at half
past . o'clock. General Weyler, who is
said to be full of fight. arrived this
evening. His friends describe him rs

not possible mt the time of his last
