Counting the moments from hour to hour,
The white-haired, veteran ringer stands;
with watchful eye, and with straining ear,
And pulse a-quiver from hope to fear.
For the word of the council listening
Ring!
Nay, not yet may the great bell ring!
In the hall of their congress met again,
Tarry the leaders in question stern;
Shall the patriot blood have flowed in vain,
And the lifted sword to its sheath re-

Wait for the challenge answering
Ring!
Nay, not yet may the great bell ring!
Down in the hurrying street below,
From his airy watch-tower the ringer
sees
The restless passers go to and fro.
Scattering shifting, by twos and threes.
They lift their gaze to the silent bell.
And hold their breath for the sudden swell,
The birth of a nation heralding-
Ring!
Nay not yet may the great bell ring!

Leaps for moment-and sinks again,

Vainly, he thinks. do the leaders wait;
Bootless the days of the long debate;
Bootless the strife and the parleying-

Nay, not yet may the great bell ring!
Hour after hour creeps the slow day on;
Still in the belfry the ringer stands;
But the liindlier light from his eye is gone.
And the rope falls loose in his trembling

The fruitless vigil, in sooth, is SORE
And the heart of the old man hopes no

The message of cheer long-tarrying-

And an echoing shout with single swell
Carries the sound of the silent bell,
a sound like the surges gathering

Yea, at last let the great bell ring!
Loud on a sudden with vehement voice
Over the heads of the listening throng.
Clamoring. clanging-"Rejoice Rejoice!'
Answers the great bell, jubilant, strong.
And a nations heart in unison
Throbs and thrills as the peal sweeps on,
Down through the ages echoing-

FEDERAL POWERS.

Concurrently with polygamy, as pre-
scented in Congress by the case Of Mr..
Roberts. of Utah, divorce is also forced
on attention by its increase in the
States. The tendency of discussion is
to make them both subjects of polii-
cal action. if not of national lcgisa
ton. Congress. indeed, has been pcti-
toned over and over to regulate both
marriage and divorce. for the sake OF
uniformity and to avoid the many diff
flculties continually arising out OF the
difference in the laws of the several
States on these matters.
But for air the good results. 1t is
confessed are often due to uniformity.
yet uniformity for its own sake, even
though voluntary. is dangerous. II has
natural sequences that are not allurinS
to the thoughtful citizen. First uni
formity, then consolidation, then CEN
tralization, and then despotism. The
States. respectively now have control
of our domestic and personal life, our
social system, and the great body of
concerns of all kinds between men that
and IL their various rules in many
matters are troublesome, and some
times lead us into loss and evil. the
uniformity so desired by some en-
dangers home rule. If it does not de-
stroy it, and inclInes to Imperialism if
1t does not require it,
Where has Congress any constitu-

temporarily in Federal territory not
yet ready for Statehood? The new
school statesmen will reply by asking
where is any constitutional inhibition
of Federal legislation on these sub
3ccts; and then allege that the United
States. as Il sovereign nation, has
plenary bowers to do all that ii is not
forbidden to do that any other nation
presenting itself in high places, the
10th amendment cannot be too often
cited as conclusive against 1t:
THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED
TO THE UNITED STATES by THE
CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED
BY 1T TO THE STATES, ARE RE
SERVED TO THE STATES, Rr4-
SPECTIVELY. Or TO THE PEG
PIE"
And that the Federal government has
none but powers delegated to it by the
constitution. is plainly and distinctly
assented. in the first section of the
first article of that instrument. where
1t says:
"All legislative powers HEREIN
GRANTED shall be vested In n Con-
gress of the United States. which shall
consist Of a Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives."
1t thus appears from the provisions
cited that all Federal powers are
granted" or delegated" except only
Gas provided by clause IS Of section S
of article firsD ITO make all laws
which may be necessary and proper for
carrying into execution the foregoing
powers. and all other powers VESTED
BY THIS CONSTITUTION in the gov
eminent OF the United States, or in
any department or officer thereof"
The constitution itself tells us, as
plainly as words can do, that all Fede-
raj powers are granted" delegated"
or vested" by the constitution. even
the powers implied from other powers
being vested" by the clause last
quoted. Therefore. all this new tangled
statesmanship. or constitutional con-
struction. applied either to our domes-
tic or foreign affairs. is mere rot, not
