BOUTWELL, REvERsEs HIMSELF,

BOUTWELL, REVERSES HIMSELF,
Ex-Governor Boutwell, of Massachu-
sets, at the age of 81, advances the
following propositions:
First-Wheneve territory is ac-
quired, whether by conquest or
purchase, such territory becomes
subject to the constitution, and
that without the aid or agency of
any branch or department OF the
government of the United States.
Second-The power or legisla-
ton by congress over such terri
tory is fixed and limited by the
constitution.
Third-The claim that congress
may govern territories and prov
inces that are not within the jur-
isdictSon of the constitution or
that congress may extend the con-
stitution over Puerto Rico or the
Philippines or Guam is an assump-
ton of arbitrary power that must
prove fatal TO our republican sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Boutwell,. when in the prime OF
his powers i'm 1858, reached the follow
ing conclusions in an article on Mr.
Douglas and Popular Severe gnty,
printed in the Springfield Republican:
First-The right to acquire ter
ritory is inherent in every govern
ment; and in our own case Ii is not
derived from the constitution Of
the United States.
Second-As the essence of a ces-
sion of territory is the transfer OF
jurisdiction, the United States nee
essarily acquires jurisdiction over
all territory, obtained by discov-
cry. conquest or purchase.
Third-As jurisdiction is the
right of governing or legislating,
the right of the United States to
govern the territories is legiti-
mate.
Fourth-The constitution of the
United States may be extended
over a territory by the treaty OF
annexation, or by the law of con-
gress, in which case it Is only the
authority of law; but the constitu-
tion by the force of its own provis-
ions is limited to the people and
the states OF the American union.

POPS ABUSE PETTIGREw.
How His Present Allies Set the Pace
Six Years Ago.

The following editorial article from
he Huron Huronite describes the sit
ration in this state with reference Il
abuse of Pettigrew" to dot:
Much Is heard nowadays about
the abuse of Pettigrew," by the
Populist and Democratic papers of
the state, and by friends Of the
"pickerel statesman" and even by
the senator himself He is very
sensitive to the criticism of his
public acts, and squirms when his
opponents show him up In his true
light. There was a time when
those so fearful that the senator
will be abused were not SO chary
of the gentleman's feelings. We
remember six years ago when his
political allies paraded the streets
of Huron with disgraceful trans
parencies labeled Turn Out the
Gambler Pettigrew," Zone Gam
bier in the United States Senate
Is Enough" mo Drunkards Need
Apply" and other banners of In
sulting verbiage. That was when
Pettigrew was a Republican. No
abuse of him could be too violent
to suit the depravity Of the. cam
paign managers; no epithet too RI
bald could be applied to Pettigrew
to suit the men who now cry out
mo abuse of Pettigrew." Why so
tender of the senator now and so
uncharitable then?
The Huronite does not believe In
abusing the honorable gentleman
of Sioux Falls, Notwithstanding
the fact that he seldom speaks
of a party associate who differs
with him without calling him an
ass, fool or a knave, and that he
cannot speak OF a Republican
measure In the senate without ap-
plying epithets more suitable to a
barroom than to the senate cham
Der; and when he speaks OF Presi-
dent Mckinley or his associates it
is in language so coarse as to cause
people to ask: rs the senator
sane?" And yet this man wants to
be let alone. He wants the exclu-
sive privilege of dealing in abusive
language. In fact, he wants trust
in that commodity. and as far as
this paper is concerned, he Is quite
welcome to 1t. Honest criticism
of public men or measures must
not be taken for abuse, and IL Sen
ator Pettigrew cries out when hon.
estly criticised, Don't abuse me"
pass 1t up as the accusing cry of a
guilty conscience.
However, it is the purpose of this bu
eau to confine It's efforts toward refut
ng the many wild and absurd claim
nd charges of the senator by quota
ions from the printed record OF con
ress, from the official reports OF tn
government, and from other unques
toned authorities.

The commercial travellers of the
country were not SO favorably Impress
ed with the last Democratic admins
tration as to demand an encore.
Mr.. Bryan declares the farmers can
not be deceived by reports of prosper
ity. No, indeed; they know the real
thing when they experience it.
I do not share in the apprehension
felt by many as to the danger of gov
ernments being weakened or destroyed
by reason of their extension of terri
tory.-Ulysses S. Grant.
Not single nation disputes our pos
session of the Philippines. The only
organized opposition to the consumma-
ton of the Paris treaty comes from Ag-
uinaldo and the Democratic party.
In order to maintain a semblance Of
consistency Mr.. Bryan is now COM
PEELED to admit that he was insincere
when he advised the ratification of the
Paris treaty.
Jerry Simpson will give the Kansas
people one more opportunity to send
him to congress. The trouble with
Jerry is that he and the good times
don't match.

FACTS ABOUT FREE HOMESTEAD
BILL.

In his speech at Armour on August
last Pettigrew took to himself all the
credit for passing the free homes bill
and made the assertion that the oppo-
sition to 1t was Republican rather than
sectional In referring to the final
passage of the bill he said:
"It was introduced Tin the house)
by Flynn and reported by Eddy OF

Dear Mr.. Burke: have yours of yes
terday relating to the consideration OF
the Free Homes Bill in the senate.
l certainly had no such conversation
with Mr.. Pcttigrew as contained In
your letter. / only know that Senator
Nelson had charge OF the bill, and in
asmuch as | had charge of the appro-
priation bills. he two or three times,
asked me when it would be conyen-
lent for him to call the bill UP in the
senate without interfering with appro-
priation bills. / stated TO him that at
any time when an appropriation billwas
not under consideration he could call
1t up and had no doubt of its pass
ing without objection, as knew of no
objection to the passage of the bill in
the senate.
1t was fully understood in the SEN
ate, certainly on the Republican side,
that when the bill was called up it
was to be passed by unanimous con-
sent. / certainly could have given Mr..
Pettigrew no impression that / would
oppose the bill as had voted for it on
every occasion before.
| have no distinct recollection as to
whether / was present at the actual
moment of the passage of the bill, or
not but infer that was from the fact
that 1t came up Immediately after the
passage of the naval appropriation
1sat Na,.- - t. hot tlar No
objection on the Republican side OF the
senate from any quarter to the pas
sage of the bill, and had no objection,
and made none. This is not only
shown by the Record, but is clear from
the fact that an understanding was had
that this bill was to come up at con-
venient time by unanimous consent
and be disposed of.
/ do not understand why Mr.. Petit
grew should go out of his way to make
1t appear that in private converse
ton l had expressed an intention to
oppose the bill. Certainly no CONVEX
sation was ever held from which such
inference could be made. Very truly
yours, w. B. Allison.

SUCCINCT SUMMARY OF IsSl

.SUCCINCT SUMMARY OF ISSUES.
The following is synopsis of the
platform of the New York Republic
cans:
''The continued prosperity of the
country and of the individual citizen is
the paramount issue before the PEG
pie. Why vote for change, which,
tested by experience, is bound to be for
the worst? The country was never so
prosperous as it has been since the in
auguration of William Mckinley. Cap
ital has never been so actively occu-
pied. the volume of money in circula-
ton was never so great, labor never so
fully employed, wages never so high,
prices never so generally good.
Conscious Of the weakness of rely
ing on theories that have been explod
ed and of ignoring facts that are self
evident, the Democrats are undertake
ing to push into conspicuous position
before the people an issue which they
describe and stigmat.ze by the word
imperialism. In this course they are
Enthusiastically dishonest. Neither
in the Philippines nor elsewhere will
the cause Of human liberty look for it's
champion to party whose only hope
of obtaining power lies in the suppress
sion of human rights and in an organ
lied conspiracy to nullify the guaran
tees with which the constitution en-
deavors to surround the citizen. From
thousands of polling places in this cleo
ton, in which the Democratic party Is
SO much concerned about the consent
of the governed the negro citizen will
be excluded by laws so contrived as to
keep out the negro Republican while
admitting the white Democrat, though
both present themselves with similar
qualifications except as to color. The
party which will not allow the consti-
tuition to follow the flag through the
Carolinas, through Mississippi and
Texas. has no occasion to distress it,
self about the constitutions journey
900 miles across the ocean.
"There is no middle course between
responsibility for the government of
the Philippines and abandoning them
to be seized by some other power. The
Democratic plan of comforting sover-
eign rights upon the Filipinos and at
the same time establishing a protec-
torate over them Is impracticable. 1t
is responsibility without authority"
