the government and within his sphere is abso-
lutte. II he is not, then some body, judicial or
legislative, is the final dictator and the inde-
pendence Of the franchise is destroyed. GER
tain act like the removal of Guden. may or may
not be within his sphere-that is for the court
to decide. But there is nothing despotic in the
possession of such authority, whether it ex-
tends to such a removal or stops little short
of IT, The people elect a Governor to exercise
executive power just as they elect Senators and
Assemblymen to exercise legislative power and
judges TO exercise judicial power. They may
all misuse their power, but for specific term
il belongs to them. each In his own field. and TO
nobody else. If the people do not like the re-
suit they can refuse a reelection If an othcer
uses his authority in patent disregard of indi-
yidual rights and public interests he can be
impeached; but there must be, subject to such
impeachment in every high officer right TO
exercise a final judgment by which every
body must for the time being abide. 1t is easy
to imagine extreme abuses Of that right to say
that Governor might remove men for personal
spite or because they were Prohibitionists or
because he did not like the color of their hair.
So for that matter. might the Judges of the
Court of Appeals decide cases from personal
spite or because litigants were Prohibitionlsts
or because they did not ike the color Of their
hair. The answer is tDat the people 40 HoI eIeNI
for Governors and judges men from whom they
have reason TO fear such things; and moreover,
if any official is inclined TO abuse his discretion
he has ever restraining him the pressure OF
public opinion.
Not written constitutions. but free peoples
who watch their government make free coun-
tries If the American people would tolerate
usurpers would the usurpers be deferred by
written constitutions any more than Napoleon
was by the paper schedules for the government
of France? Every government must confer
certain positive and final powers on its agents,
and it depends on the people whether those
powers are used or abused. So long as our
people are intelligent and awake no Governor
would dare make arbitrary and patiently unjust
removals If they ever become Indifferent, II
will not he OF the slightest consequence whether
or not the Governor has n lawful discretion
which he can abuse. It is no argument against
the possession Of power to say that it can be
abused. ANY power under any government can
be abused The power TO tax is the power to de-
stroy. The power 10 govern is the power to
mtsgovern. But we must submit to taxes and
we must have Governors. There is vastly more
danger to this country from lack Of respect for
authority than there is from abuse OF power.

WAR AGAINST DERELTCTS.

A suggestion which have hitherto made
IN these columns concerning a profitable use Of
the navy in times OF peace is being partially
carried into effect by the cruiser Cincinnati on
her present voyage down the coast. She is
keeping a close lookout for derelcts, and will
destroy all that she may find
1t is notorious that the seas are dotted with
these floating perils. Some OF them have been
drifting to and fro for years. Some drift off
into unfrequented parts Of the ocean, but many
stick closely to the highways of commerce.
Every one is a grave menace TO navigation, n
movable reef, uncharted and unmarked with
light or bell. There Is little doubt that many
vessels have suffered from collision with them
and some such have gone down with all al oard
and have never been heard Of again.
The destruction of a derenct is difficult Job
to any vessel save one specially prepared for the
purpose AS a rule 1t cannot be burned. The
ordinary merchant vessel cannot knock It 70
pieces by ramming 1t, and it does not carry ord
nance or explosives with which 10 blow Il to
pieces Moreover, 1t cannot well pause In It's
scheduled voyage TO do such work. SO II sim
ply lodges the wreck, If it can, and leaves it
behind, being content, perhaps with report
ing when and where 1t encountered It,
Naval vessels on their cruises have however.
ample leisure for such work, and they are
equipped with the appliances necessary for It,
Indeed. the destruction of derelCts would afford
them good practice in some parts Of their pro-
fessional work. derelict would make an ad-
mirabe target for gun and torpedo practice. II
naval cruisers of all nations should syStemati-
cally scOur the seas to find and to destroy these
perils to navigation, they would keep them
selves in trim for any sort of work, and they
would bestow an incalculable benefit upon the
neaceful commerce of the world
