The anti-Rogcrs forces werc too con-

and that was their undoinR. for the

The methods pursued by Rogers, Tf,r-

punishments inflicted.
These rights were inherent in the in
dividuals. and were always claimed by
individual colonists under the Brit
fish crown The failure originally to
eumerate them in the constitution did
not operate to deprive the people OF
them: nor did their subsequent addi-
ton to that instrument add anything
to their binding force. Thus, whatever
power congress has to legislate for the
newly acquired territories must be ex-
ercised subject to the fundamental
safeguards of individual rights and in
dividual liberties, which were recogniz-
ed as the inherent right OF the people
OF our race, before written constitu-
tions were ever framed. Subject to
these restrictions, however. the power
of congress Us plenary. AS Mr.. Rich
ards says, in conclusions:
I'VE have the new territories. We are
responsible for them. We have entered
upon new epoch. The old sense of ease
and indifference, which policy of iso-
iation gave Us, Is gone. We have be-
come one OF the world powers, sharing
the burdens they must bear Even now
our marines, shoulder to shoulder with
the men Of England and Germany and
Russia and France and Austria and Italy
and Japan, are at the gates OF far-off Pc

plain. May we not walk In TT Does
the constitution forbid? Is the consti-
tuition a trap, caught In which we shall
excite the pity of our friends and the
derision of our foes? refuse to believe
SO. The constitution r. no mere deciara-
tfon OF denials. It created a nation to
which was entrusted the full powers
asserted in the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence-to levy war. conclude peace, .
and to do all other acts and things
which Independent states may of right
do When it conferred power, II took
care not to cripple action II still re-
mains the most perfect instrument ever
struck on by the hand and brain OF man,

A Democrat ought to be able to

Joseph Lindaur, of Nashville, Tenn, has
to say in the Boston Record of the

thing about the platform on which
Bryan stands"

Mr.. Bryan is not going to make any
speeches in Alabama, the reason prob
ably being that the platform on which
he stands is not just what the people
down there want. That Is the only
conclusion to be drawn from the words
Of the Macon Telegraph. which says:
Our platform declares that imperial
ism Is the great issue Of the campaign.
yet in our own hearts we know II is our
desire and determination to govern the
negroes outside Of the constitution. Just

Filipinos are being governed outside of

only to be overwhelmed with gloom
when the results in November showed
that Hancock had been defeated. Re-
verses in the state election In that year
had been only signal for increased
effort. not only in Maine but every
where else. and the result in November
proved that the September warning had
been of great benefit in awakening Re-
publicans to the necessity of greater
effort Perhaps decreased Republi-

would be better for the Republican
party than any other outcome. II
would prevent relaxation OF effort

The Election In Maine.

The state election In Maine occurs
one week from today. There is no
doubt that the Republican ticket will
be elected. and the only matter over
which there can be difference of opin-
lon is as to the majority of the success
full party. All eyes are turned to the
far Northeast at the time OF the Sep
tember election. for 1t is there that the
first gun of the campaign is fred, and
the result is studied as an indication
of what may be expected in the nation
al election two months later. Many
people still believe that ''as Maine goes
so goes the Union"
The normal Republican majority In
Maine Is about 10000. Two years ago
Gov. Powers was reelected by 2i.459
majority. In the presidential election
of 1896 the majority was run up to over
$4,000. and this In spite of the fact that
citizen of the state was the Demo-
cratic candidate for vice president. The
people were not misled by the silver err
ror. They had had their experience with
financial madness In the greenback
days and could not again be deceived.
AZ result. the victory for sound mon
ely and good government was won by
one OF the largest majorities ever re-
corded in the history OF the state.
A vigorous campaign has been waged
In Maine this year. some Of the most
prominent orators OF the country hav-
Ing been called into service. For this
reason few Democratic papers have
intimated that the Republican leaders
are scared" but the reports OF the
veterans Of the stump who have re-
turned from their work down East in
dictate that there was never before a
more hopeful feeling Just prior TO an
election. The only fear that has been
entertained is that the Republicans
may he over~confaen,. and the aim az
the campaign managers has been 10

There = an old superstition that
when it rains on the 9Th day OF June,
St. Medard, or st. Swinthen's day, it
will rain for forty consecutive days.
There is an old legend to this effect
st. Medard was very holy man,
and at his death be desired to be
buried iE the ground, under an oak
tree in the yard of the Monastery.
He was buried there. Years after.
the Monks thought he had been too
great man to be thus buried, and
they prepared beautiful monument,
in public spot, for his final resting
place. On the 9th day Of June they
undertook to remove his remains.
The rain poured down. For forty
days they worked assiduously, but
St. Swinthen was as determined to
remain under the oak tree as his ad-
mirers were to remove him to a place
Of distinction. Suffice ii TO say that
old St. swinthen, Or St. Medard, won.
and the Monks gave it up, All this
happened in .'Merrie old England. /"
So look out, If it rains to-day. il |
will, perhaps, rain for forty days
