MEMORIES OF HOMESTEAD.

The great strike now In progress in
the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania
had its counterpart in the bloody Home
stead strike in 1899. The latter con
trbuted largely to the defeat of the
Republicans in that memorable year.
The Homestead affair was;one of the
worst in the history of monopoly war
on labor. The steel barons had set out
to destroy the unions and the culmina-
tion of their efforts was reached in the
murderous assault of the Pmkertons
upon an unarmed populace.
The war in the anthracite region is
IN fact war upon organized labor, and
il is presenting many of the familiar
manifestations of the Homestead affair.
Already innocent blood has been shed
by armed deputies and already State
troops are patrolling the whole territory
involved, doing police duty for the rob
Der coal trust The soldiers are expect
ed to shoot at the first drop of the hat
and If il is necessary the hat will be
dropped from the point OF bayonet.

Electoral votes necessary to a choice
224.
Several things might be said of this
table by a careful reader of newspapers
of every shade of politics, and of no
politics at all, and who, in addition to
reading newspapers, keeps his ears open
for everything that is TO be heard. One
of these is that all the States listed as
Democratic will undoubtedly vote so.
Another is that from present indications
New York belongs more properly in the
doubtful than in the surely Republican
column Plat claims II by 100000 ma
jOrity. Croker by 1866 and Hanna
says it is dangerous Ills, aud w Vir-
GINA are fairly doubtful. though the
chances favor the Republicans an both.
Missouri is not a doubtful but Demo
cratic State, aud one of the New York
Herald's most careful and trusted men,
who last week made tour and observa-
( ton Of Maryland, says the Democrats
have the better Of itln the State. If
/ We allow this c4lcui.f I'm Is &c torrect Il
would give McKiuieyIS5 VOTES certain.
Bryan 1877 votes certain, and raise the
number of doubtful votes from "a 30 1876.
Ii looks now as IL the fight were IN
New York, Illinois.and Indiana. All of
which Is respectfully submitted merely
as a matter of human interest and for
what it is worth.

Another Election Guess.

Estimates upon the result of an cleo
ton, from anything like an intelligent
source. are always entertaining, what
ever one may think of their reliability,
and one of the most interesting that has
been given out in this campaign was
published IN the New York Herald of
Sunday. The Herald said it got 1t from
a Republican leader. who is in close
touch with the work and the expecta-
lions of the Republican national COM
mittee, and that it represents the latest
estimate Of the campaign managers. 1t
follows:

The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1900-10-05

The Democrats count ON Kentucky
and Maryland as almost certain, which
if give to them would only necessitate
Bryan's carrying 80 more votes, and
New York would furnish them with B
votes to spare hence the tremendous
fight now on in New York. Or, losing
New York, Illinois and Indiana would
elect Bryan.

justly govern Others without their
consent may be difficult, but IL is
probably not more so than to state
the extent and limits Of the rightful
power Of the majority to govern the
minority. 1t may truthfully be said
that a government Of dependent
people will be tyranny unless il is an
embodiment and manifestation OF
justice exercised for the benefit Of
those who are governed. Though it
may be just without their consent,
il will be unjust unless It recognizes
their right To the largest measure Of
freedom and self-gOvernment which
they can safely exercise.

OBSERVATIONS.
Vagaria.


A little book bound i'm white, let
tered in black, with yellow moon
floating in green gray night Of
shadowy bats is a collection of light
short stories by Mrs. Florence Brooks
Emerson, formerly Of Omaha. Mr..
Datus Brooks, her father, was former
ly editor Of the Omaha Republican.
Mrs. Emerson was student at the
state university in the early eighties.
She has lived in New York for per-
haps the last ten years. A vagary,
and every resident Of state which
has the lowest per cent Of illiteracy
of the whole fOrty-tiye, knows that
vagary is accented on the second syl-
liable, is a wandering or strolling, and
hence wandering Of the thoughts, a
wild freak, within. And about a
within there is an individuality, a
color that the reasonable, expected
actions of life do not have. If it were
not for DR.. Samuel JUhnsOn's whims
we should not feel that we know him
so well and the great photographer
might then be indistinguishably con-
fused with Bozzy, Goldsmith. Pope
and others of his time. A fragrance
of original personality fingers about
this book Of stories. that is very
pleasant both to the stranger and to
Mrs. Emersop's friends.
The pains and disappointments Of
life as they come to women and are
felt by women Mrs. Emerson expresses
finally with satisfaction. Like an un-
known sonata, the first time heard by
one not technically educated, the first
reading of her paragraphs is tumble
and the melody is overlooked. A
little patience, little pertinaciOus
insistence upon sympathetic read
ing Of the lines and her meaning is
clear. One story is about woman
whose husband is fighting in Cuba.
She stands on balcony and looks out

men is in nearly all countries exer-
cised without their consent. The mi
nority of men. even in a republic. are
subject to the government by the ma
jority. whether they consent or not,
even against their bitterest OppOsi-
ton.
These illustrations are sufficient to
show that the consent Of the gov
erned can not possibly be adopted as
condition Of just government any
where over any individuals or classes
so long as they constitute minority
of the people within the jurisdiction
of any established government.
The idea that such minority Of the
people have in fact given their con-
sent to be governed by becoming
members of the nation is sheer fic-
tiOn, involving the assumption that
people choose the place Of their birth.
Even if consent to a particular gov
eminent may have been given by
ones ancestors, their right to bind
him by such consent remains to be
established.
There is fallaciOus appearance Of
justice in this theory Of the consent
of the governed which induces many
people to accept it at once as a gen.
eral principle, without thinking deep
ly enough to see its superficiality. Its
fatal weakness may be shown by a
single illustration. In a locality
where there is no constituted govern
ment or established law, and where
each man is on a level with every
other with respect to authority, il a
majority, by means Of all necessary
force, should compel any pestilential
fellow among them to observe the
decencies of civilized life, and refrain
from disturbing the peace or Outrag-
ing the moral sentiment OF the re-
spectacle portion Of the community,
they would in so doing be justified in
the minds of sensible people every
where. Yet they would be acting
without any consent Of the governed
express or implied.
1t is only as between differ ent ma
lions, races or tribes that most peO-
pie would deem the theory applicable.
But the same ethical principles seem
to have operation between tribes or
races as between different individuals.
We have Indian tribes still inhabit-
ing this country, who have never
given any free consent to be governed
by the whites. Conceding that our
government may have some times
been mistaken in its policy toward
that in many in
stances it may have wronged them,-
yet few reasoning persons will deny
that it is right for the United States
government to exercise some author
ity over the Indian tribes, even with
out their consent, whenever those
tribes are too savage or uncivilized
to govern themselves without danger
to the communities about them. If
it is right to govern even the most
tribe of Indians without their
consent, the dogma that just govern
ment depends upon the consent of the
is certainly not true.

rule for determining when men may

absence is never bridged; il makes a
chasm between old and new: all is old

The one we meet is not the one who
said farewell" This change which
takes place in the friendships and
loves of the separated is one of the
curious, unwelcOme and disputed
phenomena Of life and love. The
chasm of incommunicable spiritual ex-
periences which separates friends who
are miles apart, from the intimacy of
the hour of separation has puzzled
the most devoted and loyal.

The Consent of the Governed
During the recent campaign any
discussion of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was so intimately connected
with politics that a candid consider
alton was difficult. In the November
number of Case and Comment a
periodical devoted to legal news, notes
and essays a writer says that the doc
trine Of government only by the con-
sent of the government. ''as applied
to single individuals is so obviously
absurd that it needs no comment.
Justice, in the very nature Of things
has to be enforced against those who
do not consent. Every man who is
born into nation has to submit to
its government whether he wishes to
do so or not. As applied to particu-
lar classes of people: Children are
governed IN families without asking
their consent and are subject to the
laws Of the state, though they have no
part in making them. This is on the
theory that they are incapable of self
government. The government of wo-
