THE MUD STILLS.

The difficulty with the education of this
in the generations that preceded US, it
deals too much with .things and too lit
tie with principles. The how to do it,
is regarded as of greater Importance than
the fundamentals
A young man, leaving college, knows
ten subjects that were not taught in the
old curriculum, but it. is rare that he is
instructed in the principles of the Con-
stitution so well as his father. The re-
suit is that he bases his actions chiefly
upon what seems the good Of the hour
rather than upon fundamental mud sill
principles. Devotion to the Constitution
is regarded as s"oldt fogyish' and out Of
place How to get there" too often takes
precedence over thow to stand upon the
Constitutional safeguards,s Instead Of
feeling Of reverence for the Constitution,
it is too often the case that man who
measures all his acts by the Constitu-
tional requirements and Limitations is
laughed at and, made the object of ridicule
by the paragraphists. The more popular
policy seems to despise 1.-THE old land
marks which the fathers have set" and
to drift with the tide, no matter whether
it carries to the right or to the wrong
pert. Just so it carries to present advan-
tage.
Independent Of the argument in the i'm
detachment case, the first hour or so OF
Maj Guthrie's speech upon the funda-
mental, mud sill, bedrock principles upon
which our government is bottomed was
wcrth going many miles to hear. 1t took
the nearer away from sophistry, expe-
diency. present or future advantage, and
carried him TO the foundations Of politi-
cal liberty 1t was comprehensive ana
clear presentation of the old truths which
were profoundly real to the fathers, but
which we. in our security, are in danger
of estimating at too low value. Ihere
was a largeness of grasp and statesman
like presentation of old truths that made
them instinct with life, and breathed into
them the same vitality that made them
the pillar of fire by day and the pillar
Of cloud by night to the men who laid
deep and broad the foundations OF the
Republic. That portion ought to be
heard in every school and college In
the state. 1t would have mighty in
Huence in checking the growing tendency
to disregard the basic principles OF liberty
in reaching out for the advantage OF the
hour. The reading and admiration OF
Blackstone to the exclusion OF Coke was
attributed by Mr.. Jefferson as the rea-
sen why SO many lawyers of his day had
Federalistic tendencies. The evil exists
today, net so much from reading Black
stone. as from devotion to what Will pay
tcday, instead of looking for that reward
and consciousness of right-doing that
comes from devotion to principle.
