eve declare again." said the demo-
cratic national convention in its Kan
sas City platform, that al govern
ments instituted among men derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed; that any govern
ment not based upon the consent of
the governed is a tyranny" This was
the paramount issue, and the demo-
Gratis of Maryland make it still para
mount issue, but with an exact reversal
of partisan position that would Devil
der and stun any foreign gentleman
who was trying to get a line on Amer
lean politics.
They say that peace, good order,
their personal safety, the proper de-
velopment of their material interests
depend upon the control of the COM
monwealth by its intelligent white
residents,' that they have 100000 ma
jority of the white people of the state,
that the republican party would be in
a hopeless minority without the aid
of its 10000 colored voters, and so are
driven by their irresistible logic to the
following declaration:
Eve, therefore, without hesitation, pro-
claim that the success of the democratic
party will mean that, while we shall deal
with perfect fairness in securing all the
benefits of good government and full and
free opportunities for education to all
classes, such action must be taken as TO
prevent the control of the state govern
ment from passing into the hands, of those

Consent of the governed" vanishes
completely at this touch. Govern
ment or control is distinctly claimed
as the prerogative of intelligent
whites. All other people should take
orders from these superior beings
but apparently it is a virtue to have
white majority, whether it is intelli
gent or not, and the prerogative is
modified somewhat with benevo-
lence toward all whites.
The main idea is to disfranchise co.
900 colored citizens because most O.
them vote the republican ticket. They
are to have government decreed fol
them without any thought of then
content, and are to be forced to sub
NIT to what the national platform
calls a tyranny.

UDun's Review shows that there
has been a striking improvement in
the record of the business failures
for July, 1901, as compared with
those of the same month in 1900.
There were 697 failures in the month
this year, with liabilities in the ag-
@regate amounting TO $7,035,933, as
against 1893, with an Indebtedness of
S9,771,775 in the month year ago.
This is a fair indication of the gen.

tons. Trade was active last year,
but it is still more fourishing this
