The Consent Of the Governed.

An admirable statement OF the pos
ition Of all thinking men on the basic
principle Of the Declaration of indie
pendence was made by Rev. DR.. P. 5,
Hensen Of Chicago Sunday. He said:
1.-The question Of Imperialism is
the question Of the hour Like
Banquo's ghost it will not down. 1t
is one that goes down to the basal
principles Of all government, human
and divine. Who shall RULE? Who
ought to rule-in China, in the
Transvaal, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in
the Philippines, in Pennsylvania, in
New York city, in Chicago, in UtahP
Some dicta we have been accustomed
to receive as automatic because Of
their seemingly sacred traditionary
character. And one Of these is that
memorable clause in the Declaration Of
Independence, In which 1t is affirmed
that all governments derive their
Just powers from the consent Of the
governed
ITO challenge proposition en-
bodied in the magma charta of our
liberties will seem to many like the
height of treason il not of downright
blasphemy. And yet we make bold
to question the universally of the
application Of this vague and glitter
ing generality The men for whom
Thomas Jefferson spoke were capable
of self.government, and had right
to demand it. But to say that all
men, regardless of the state OF savag-
cry or civilization in which they may
happen to be, are also capable Of self.
government, is to fly in the face Of
all the teachings Of revelation, all the
facts Of history and all the plainest
principles Of common sense.
1.-The dictum OF the Declaration is
not true when applied to the family,
as everybody knows except Miss An
thony, nor is it true Of the govern
ment Of God
HE sits on no precarious throne,
Nor borrows leave to be,
"That is only just government
which is administered not necessari-
ly by the consent Of the governed
as in the case Of children and Others
immature aud in,apable--but for the
benefit Of the governed. Such gov
eminent is meant by the scriptures
when they declare that the powers
that be are ordained OF God And
therefore in the last and highest
analysis it would appear that all gov.
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the,.governor,
who is God"

Ter OF Chaplain Bateman ~ an upright,
hon6rable gentleman, We have no doubt
Of his coming out Of the affair completely

have Ovsrstepped the Law Of the var de-

and he has certainly lowered himself in
the estimation Of fair minded people.

MORE INCREASE OF WAGES.

Boston, Mass, December 6.-The an
nOuncement was made this afternoon
that the AmOskeag corporation, OF
Manchester, the largest cotton manu-
featuring concern in the country, will
advance the wages of it's 5000 opera
tives 10 per cent. December 18th. A
similar advance will be made at the
cotton mills of the AmOry and Stark
manufacturing companies, Of Man
chester, on the same day. The Stark
mills employ nearly 1000 operatives
and the Amory about 1,500. The China,
Webster and Pembroke mills at Sun
cook, N. H., will also raise the wages
10 per cent. The SuncoOk mills en-
ploy about 1900 operatives.
Among other places where notices OF
an advance were posted today were at
Taunton, Mass: at, the Corr Manu-
featuring Company mills, Pawtucket,
r. l.; the United States Cotton Com
pany, Lawrence, Atlantic, Pacific,

effects about 1000 employees.

A DIFFICULT TEST.

One of the hardest tests given ap-
plicants who go before the civil service
commission boards of examiners is in
the form Of printed matter which is to
be copied without a single change. 1t
is aid to be surprising to find how
many intelligent people find 1t iinpus-
sible to properly stand this test. They
can frequently correct errors in Ian
guage which they cannot copy YER
batim, says The Washington Sudi.
There was lately an applicant who
showed his aptitude for this work. FIe
was given a printed page and told to
copy it.
Want lit just like rhis?" he asked.
without achange," the examiner le-
piled.
The man labored. The printed mat
ter was on a white sheet that was spot-
less with the exception of a fly speck
on one of it's corners. The sheet the
student had was minus a blemish in
that particular spot, but when it was
turned in there was a well-imitated fly
sDeck. There was not a flaw in tine
work, n he received a rating on that
portion of his examination, and today
is one of the best and most trusted en-
ployes in the service of the commission
where he was detailed shortly after
taking his examination.

ELECTIONS.
State Board Hear Argument in Con-
tested County Cases.

Frankfort, KY, December 6.-The
state board of election commissioners,
sitting as a contest board, spent the
entire day hearing argument in the
contested election matter. D. w. Far
leigh, for the republican side, brought
up the question that the board had no
right to go behind the returns of the
county canvassing boards. He claimed
that no state in the union permitted
such action, saying that the matter
had been decided in all the courts of
the United States from the supreme
court Of the nation down. Commission
er Ellis asked if the decisions did not
show that the court of appeals had
decided that ~canvassing boards had
judicial power. Mr.. Farleigh the en-
tered a long argument designed to
prove that they did not.
Judge Pryor, chairman of the COM
mission, spoke up during a pause in
Mr.. Farleigh's argument, saying:
Il would like to invite the atten-
ton Of counsel on both sides to this
proposition, and 1 would like to hear
arguments upon it: Suppose this board
does undertake to examine returns, as
the statutes say it shall have the pow
er to do, how far does it's power ex-
tend under the statutes?'
There were several other speeches
on both sides and the board adjourned
for the day.

THE CASE.
Mr.. Tayler Talks of What the Commit
tee Proceedings VIII Be.

Washington, December 6.-Repre-
the special committee to investigate
the case of Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, has
called a meeting of the committee for
IL o'clock tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Tay0er says this initial meeting
will be to determine upon a general
line of action. He could not say how
oon the committee would be able to
report, although Mr.. Tayler expressed
the opinion that the inquiry would pro-
coed with all due expedition, as the
claimant was entitled to an early de-
cisiOn. While the chairman would not
speak for the committee he said he had
no doubt that Mr.. Roberts would be
allowed to be present, with counsel, il
he desired, and would be afforded the
usual facilities to nave his seat pres
ented. There were a number of wit
neSses in Washington n some in
Utah, but lis it probable that the COM
mittee will not leave Washington, al
though there are some precedents for
extending an inquiry to other points.
Mr.. Tayler said the in
election cases were usually open to the
public, but he had some doubt as to
whether the hearings, particularly such
parts as involved family matters,
should be open. These details will be
determined by the committee, Mr.. Tay-
Ter saying that the essential question
was to secure a calm and unprejudiced
consideration of the eligibility OF the
claimant.
Mr.. Roberts was about the house
during the day. There was NO session,
and he was engaged most of the time
in chattings with groups of members
and visitors, who showed a friendly
disposition toward him. He said he
had no comment to make OF the course
of the house. He will probably look
after his interests in person before the
oorpoittaa nf iDouiry

GENERAL rduNe,s POSITION.
Somewhere in the ~unta Not
Heard FROM in a Week-The Fight
at Vigan.

Washington, December General
Otis cables kthe war department that
he has a sno word Of General Young
for a week This is taken to indicate
that Young is continuing his hot pur-
suit of Aguinaldo and, probably, is in
a country where he regards it as un-
safe TO use couriers.
General Otis dispatch, which follows,
also gives an official account of Lieu
tenant Colonel Parker's engagement
1t Vigan:
Manila, December 6.
Genera Young with thirteen COM
panies OF infantry and nine troops Of
cavalry has not been heard from since
the e9th ultimo. He was the about
twenty miles south OF Vigan, ard
most of the troops marching to his sup
port, but he then had with him three
troops or cavalry, a battalion of the
Thirty-third infantry and the Maca-
bebe SCOUTS. One company of the
Thirty-taird infantry is sent by boat
TO Viga1 TO reinforce the navy there.
"Lieutenant Colonel Parker, of the
Forty-fifth regiment, reports from vi
gan on fhe 9Th instant that he has not

in the crowd surrounding Richard
Coleman.
The ropes, securing him to the tree,
were burned and his body finally fell
Onward on the burning pile. The
crowd used rails and long poles TO push
his body back into the flames. 1t is
not certain how long life lasted.
During the process, while his voice
could be heard, he begged fora drink
of water.
Ait the end of three hours The body
was practically cremated. During all
that time members OF the family of
Mrs. Lashbreok had remained to keep
up the fire.
In all the thousands who constituted
the mob, there was not a single effort
made to disguise or conceal identity.
No man wore a mask. All the leaders
Of the mob are well known and there
are hundreds of witnesses who can tes-
tify to their participation in the trag-
edy. They are leading citizens in all
lines Of business and many are mem
bers of churches.
County Judge Harbeson will en-
panel a special grand Jury at once to
make a speedy investigation and re-
turn indictments against the leaders
Of the mob.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
The coroner held an inquest on the
charred remains of Richard Coleman
and rendered the simple verdict:
Death at the hands of a mob"
The body was left lying there and
at present has not been removed.
Relic hunters took away teeth and
bones, and flesh and every fragment of
the body that they could lay hands
upon. All the afternoon children,
some of whom not more tina 6 ear
old, kept up the fires on the blackened
body by throwing grass, kindling
wood, brush, bits of boards and every
thing combustible that they could
gather.
The action of the mob seems to be
generally approved, even by women,
safer.

An Increase of Judges salary RECON-
memberships Against Trusts.

Washington, December 5.-Attorney
General Griggs. in his annual report 10
congress. reviews. the work of the de-
partment during the year and then
says that application is occasionally
made to the department of justice to
have legal proceedings brought in the
name Of the United States against cor
~porations or combinations Of companies
that are alleged to be engaged in form
ing or maintaining monopoiies or agree
ments in restraint Of trade or competi-
ton.
Such a~ctioos," the attorney general
says, '.can be malta med only when the
offense within the scope Of the
federal statute. The only federal leg
islatfon against combination In re-
straint Of trade is contained in the
~'so-calfed" Sherman act

decision Of the supreme court OF the

In all cases wher the facts present

merce as is contemplated by the Sher-
man act. legal proceedings have been
taken by him in the name OF the United
States either to dissolve the combina-
ton or to punish the offenders by IN
dictment."
The attorney general recommends
increase OF salaries of supreme court
justices to 500 600 a year. or circuit
court Judges TO SIC, 200 a year and or the
district Judges TO $500 a year.
