shows most conclusively that prior to
the great war for second independence
secession was a constitutional right,
and was so held all over New England.
The reader will learn also much con-
corning the formation of our govern
ment and the efforts of England to
break it up. If people north and south
would only read up" they would see
how great the cause of the south was
and how overwhelmingly sustained in
the historic courts and the forum of
reason. Hon. Alexander III. Stephens,
in his valuable History of the War of
the States" a contributed no little to
a clearer understanding of the ques-
tons at issue between the south and
the aggressive north. The south had
a hundred times more cause to seek a
withdrawal than the thirteen colonies
had when they precipitated a war with
Great Britain in 1776.
The British Quarterly sees in the
early history of this country the germs
that led to the great war between the
states. They are found it contends in
the very formation of the government.

President Stickney, of the Great Wes-

so since. He appeared before the sub
committee of the National Industrial
Commission, which was investigating

ed the congress for its legislation. Ac-
cording to him the fixing of rates is flu
tile and he made a sensation by his
plain talk. He lead off this way: II
tell you frankly these published rates
are not maintained by the railroads
and they cannot be maintained. 1t is
an impossibility. The interstate CON-
merce law, as far as Investigations and
corrections are concerned, is a roaring
farce" He talked right out all the
way and denounced the paternal sys-

INTERFERING WITH HOME RULE

The republican leaders in New York
state are in a plot to destroy m%uninci-
pal government. They have a state
c~onstabulary bill that will very much
weaken personal responsibility and
cripple greatly local self-government.
Some of the ablest daily papers are
fighting the proposed outrage. The
Messenger has often shown the trend
Of despotism in the vicious, venal, de-
cayed republican party that is as des-
titute of statesmen as it is of principles.
The cry of the papers that oppose the
contemplated scheme is that it lis a
blow at popular government" OF
course, and so are invasions of states
Illinois and Kentucky-with a part of
the United Statets army "a blow, and a
tremendous one, at popular govern
ment." 1t is a pity that bad men who
conspire against the people can not be
dealt with so promptly as to prevent
the contamination of their devilish
schemes. The New York Evening Post
sounds the alarm n says that the
movement is dangerous" and is the
result of 1.-THE vicious influence" the re-
publican leaders have upon the popu-
lar mind" The aim is to deprive all
W. III NAiSAA SAAAS -
It says of Plat and company that
they have no sympathy with the prin-
ciples of popular government, because
they maintain their system and keep
their places by the destruction of all
those principles"
So much for New York. the Empire
state. urn now to Pennsylvania the
next greatest, and what do you find?
You see both republican and half re-
publican papers are protesting against
the corrupt ballot there. The leading
republican organ, the Philadelphia
Press, declares that honest elections is
the supreme issue in Pennsylvania.
Without them it is impossible for the
people to defeat corrupt machines or
escape the thraldom of boss govern
ment.
"The Record asks if the Press will
oppose the election Of every nominee,
no matter how regular his nomine ton,
who shall refuse to pledge himself for
such legislation as would secure hon
est elections.
This is just what the Press expects
to do. This is the work it has blocked
out for itself"
Home rule and a pure ballot are alb
solutely essential to morality and good
government. Destroy either and the
will of the people is defeated.
