HARD TO KILL A YARN.

There is nothing more difficult
than to kill a pleasing lie, once il
has had a good start.
TO the love of mankind for the
romantic and dramatic are to be
attributed many of the popular in
cidents and utteranCes connected
with great events and personages
of history Interesting compila-
tions of these myths Of history
have been made from time to time,
shattering gIittcring hctions that
have been mnsquerading as truth.
To these compilations were
added years ago number of tic-
tions that had grown up around
our Civil War Some of these,
nevertheless, have continued to
reappcar in spite of the fact that
they have been frequently labeled
as untrue. An illustration of the
vitality of errors of this sort is
furnished by the persistency with
which a story in connection with
General Lees surrender to Gener-
al Grant has been repeated. The
closing scene of the great conflict
was not sufficiently dramatic to
suit theatrical minds, and accord
ingly the historical romancer en-
deavored to improve it by describ-
ing General Lee as Offering his
sword to General Grant at Apo
mattox and the latter, with the
knightly magnanimity of the days
of chivalry, as declining to receive
it. This conceit of the romancer
made pretty stage tableau, and
it has so appealed to the popular
taste that it has maintained its
place IN front of the footlights to
the present day, and SO effoctually
as to deceive even some of the
elect.
In point of fact the story is even
more baseiess than the fabric of a
vision, and is proved so not only
by the testimony of Col, Charles
Marshall of Baltimore, who was
present at the interview between
Generals Lee and Grant, at Appo
mattox, as the secretary of the
Southern commander, but by the
direct statement of General Grant
himself in his memoirs. 1t would
seem that this ought to give final
quietus to this melodramatic yarn.
But like many other similar crea-
tons Of the Imagination it will
probably bob up serenely again in
course of time, and require further
attention at the hands of those to
whom truth in history seems bet
ter than fiction. Southern school
historians should make a note of
it and not fall into the snare.

IS The CONSTITUTION A FICTION?

One of the essential demands of
a democracy is that the different
departments of government shall
be subject to the limitations + a
written constitution. The theory
of a democracy upon this point
is very simple. 1t is presumed
that the right of sovereignty re-
sides in the people; that they del
egate certain powers to govern
ment and that all powers not SO
delegated continue to reside in the
people, and that the delegated
powers are explicitly enumerated
in a written constitution. In so
far as no generation can be wise
enough for all posterity provision
is made whereby the fundamental
law may be so altered as to meet
any contingency that may arise.
The object is to protect the people
from the arbitrary ambition or
caprice of unwise or unscrupulous
rulers. The constitution draws n
line Of demarkation about each of
ficer and declares, Thus far shalt
thou go and no further" Thus
the victims OF dcspotic govern
ment have always looked upon the
adoption of n written constitution
as a blow at absolutism and step
toward political liberty,
That such was the conception Of
our revolutionary sircs is univcr.
sally admitted. The different de
partments of government were
carefully kept Independent of each
other. And it was considered OF
especial importance that the su.
preme court should be absolutely
Independent of the executive de.
partment and all other transient
political influences. This wai
made decidedly clear in the early
decisions of John Marshall, which
came frequently in collision will
the expressed wishes of the ad
ministration. 1t was considered
proper then that the constitution
, should be interpreted rather thar
; that an administration should b
/ vindicated.
Nor was the supreme court th
7 tool of congress. As early as 1SO,
. John Marshall, in the case of Mar
. bury vs Madison, held that an,
3 law Of congress coming into oppo
Q sition with the constitution wa
r void. And every law that cam
: before him for his consideration

holds The auxiliary idea up to
ridiculo. lie says:
What sort of equality could
there be between wooden ship
improvised into a cruiser running
twenty one knots an hour and a
steel-clad cruiser running twenty
three knots an hour, with guns
carrying from eight to twel, 9
miles? Dewey, at Manila, stood
off with his ships two and one
half miles and smashed the Span
ish fleet to pieces like an eggshell
struck by thundcrbolt and did
not lose n man. Now imagine the
st. Paul, or the st, Louis, or the
Paris, or the New York encount-
ering at a distance of even ten
miles the steel-clad cruiser of a
foreign nation, built after the APP
proved fashion in which those yes
sells are now constructed. Why,
they are not fit even for transports,
The naval warfare of the world has
been completely changed.
The auxiliary plea was never
ment for service among men of
intelligence. 1t is meant to bear
the same relation to pirate raids
upon the treasury that the mani
fest destiny" who will pull down
the flag fake bore to the imper-
ialistic issue. 1t was ment to give
its advocates an opportunity to rise
above the sordid meanness of the
measure and harp upon a more
elevated theme. But it will fail of
its purpose. The people may close
their eyes and prattlc the gibber-
ish of the nursery while a foreign
nation is being robbed of its inde-
pendence. but when the govern
ment attempts to loot the many in
the interest of a subsidized few
they become mature and practical.
The Republicans, nevertheless,
claim that this legislative perver-
sion shall pass duringthc next ses
sion. We dare them to make good
their threat.
