ured i'm the Surratt Trials.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, June 5.-Prof. Louis
j. Weichman, of this city, for many years
at the head of the Anderson Business Col
iege, died at his home late tonight He
was one of the most remarkable characters
in the country and was one of the prin-
cipal characters in the trials of the per-
sons charged with having abetted in the
murder of President Lincoln.
Weichman was then resident of Wash
ington and boarded at the home of Mrs.
Surratt. 1t was Weichman's testimony that
led to the conviction of Mrs. Surratt and
her son John, as his evidence could not be
broken down. Weichman was once a de-
vOut Catholic but for years had renowned
his faith and believed he was the subject
of persecution. He was writing a history
of the ASA ssination of Lincoln and was
possessed of many state secrets.

POLITICAL GRAVITY.

in proving that inaSmuch as the right
of state to Secede from the union
was inherent there could be no such
thing as a constitutional right of CO.
ercion in the federal government to
prevent such secession, and that a
union held together by force would be
no union at all. James Buchanan,
the last democratic president of the
old regime, thought a state had a
right to secede, but it should not be
exercised lightly. THE election of
any one of our fellow-citizens to the
office of president" he said, in his
annual message of 1860, docs not of
itself afford just cause of dissolv-
ing the union.# In order to
Justify a resort to revolutionary re
sistance the federal government
must be guilty of a deliberate, pal
pable and dangerous exercise of pow
ers not granted by the Constitution"
1t did not take Abraham Lincoln
long to discover that there was no
such thing in the list of state rights
as a right of secession. and that
while the word coercion did not oc-
cur in the Constitution it existed as
an inherent power of the govern
ment in a very vital form. In his
first message to congress at the spc-
cial session in July, 1861, he said the
question was whether n cOnstitu-
tional republic or democracy-a gov
ernment of the people by the same
people-can or cannot maintain its
territorial integrity against its own
domestic foes" Holding that the
right of self-preservation and of SOW
ereignity was above the Constitution.
he had no trouble in finding consti-
tutional power to coerce a state.
The democratic anti-corecion doc
trine of 1860 was the natural fore
runner of the opposition to govern.
mcnt without the consent of the
governed in 1900. The same construc-
tIOn of the Constitution that would
have prevented the war for the pres
ervation of the union would have
prevented that for the suppression
of the insurrection in the Philinp-
pines. Coercion proved very effect
i've in one case, and il is about to be
crowned with complete success in
the other

pare favorably with the republican
record in respect to trusts. The Sher-
man antitrust law. which appears to
be the only effective weapon that con-
@ress can use against the big combina-
tions of capital. was framed by re-
publican, passed by a republican con
gress, and signed by republican
president in 1890. For four years that
law stood in the statute books while
Grover Cleveland was president, yet it
was not once used to restrain trust
! was used by republican attorney
general against the Joint Traffic asso-
citation and the Trans-MissouriF Freight
association. which were formed to con-
troll trade among the states. IT is now
being used by another republican at
torney general against other combina'
tions which are oppressive of the peo'
pie.
The Sherman law goes as far as any
statute can. under the present limita-
tions of the constitution in the re-
straint of the operations of trusts. It
will be necessary to amend the con-
stitution 50 as to give congress great
er power if more drastic legislation is
to be enacted. Yet. when a constitu-
tional amendment was proposed in the
last republican congress, the demo-
Gratis opposed it solidly because they
were afraid that the rights of the
states might be invaded.
Let the democrats begin their cam
paign on these two issues. The repub-
licans are willing to meet them. and
they will make the fight interesting
from beginning to end.

DEAD DEMOCRATIC ISSUE.
"COerci0n" Argument for Use in
the Philippine Agitation.

A recent correspondence between
President Roosevelt and Rev, Charles
i. st. John, secretary of the
American Unitarian association, has
revived phrase that was once pro-
life of an immense amount of dis
cussion. 1t is the word coercion"
as relating to the power of the
national government to prevent a
dissolution of the union or to sup
press a rebellion, says the Indianapo-
lis Journal. The American Unitarian
association adopted a memorial pro-
testing against the policy of coercion
that was being used in the Philip
pines. In his reply the president
said:
"There is now almost no policy of CO.
ercion' in the islands, because the insurrec-
tion has been so entirely overcome that,
save in a very few places, peace-and with
peace the policy of conciliation and good
will'-obtains throughout the Philippines.
There has never been any coercion save
such as was absolutely inevitable in put
ting a stop to an armed attack upon the
sovereignty of the United States which in
its last phases became mere brigandage."
1t is somewhat surprising that the
democratic party, with its instructive
love for dead issues, has not before
this revived the able arguments
made before the beginning of the
civil war against the power of
the national government to "coerce"
a state. The democratic constitu-
tional lawyers of that day used bar
rels of ink and mountains of paper
