"WE, THE PEOPLE" :"

{ The Kansas City Journal is one of thnse Republican papers which believes } In and sustains the most extreme tenets fof its party. It favors protective tar
 51ffs and strong government, by which
 11after term, it seems to mean that the E Federal Government is to be practically
 fsupreme in everything. It has a great
 eaI to say about what "the people, de- N band, and adds:
 " Tracy not only insist that the Federal
 bvernment shall exercise all the pov'
 E4rs that the Constitution gives 1t, whetn- CT directly or by implication, but th.y / are constantly proposing to transfer to <fk by amendments, other powers which *hnve always been conceded to belong to inc States. The p-oposition to authorize * 4k to control the trusts is only one of many having similar objects. There is
 x f3ncessant agitation for national divor. } &HWs national control of the liquor traf- 4ic and national regulation of many other
 <xhings important and unimportant. There 4s no doubt that, but for the extreme 4 difhculty of amending the Constitution, 34he States would have been stripped of many of their prerogatives, which would 2 have been conferred upbu sfthe Federal
 xsovernment.
 We are very much 'Rtfined to think
 jRhat our contemporary is speaking for -<he people much more confidently than lat has right to do. and that the peo- inIe" for s-bom 1t assumes to speak are ElpnIy the if,-7nbers of it's own party. That &egAe States would be stripped of many

A GOOD MOVEMENT.

 These associations have been of ines their States.

rrNFAIR COMMENTS

We have read with no little care and attention the comments of the Northern an1 Eastern papers on the, Pitt,fie.d col l!sion and we have not read one that was fair and impartial. Because the motorman of tho street car had the ner-e to tell the President that his driver had a right to get out of the way" The New York Tribune thinks the re- mark was "as insolent as it was slansy. and as brutal as it was insolent.''
 Was 1t insolence for the motorman tc tell the exact truth, even though he was speaking to the President of the United States? ard was it brutal to throw the blame where it evidently belonged? And The Trfb.;ne goes on to say that it WIS incumbent on the motorman ''to yield the right of way to a vehicle" as if the moto-man had started up his car with the intention of running into the carriage.
 Ire Hartft I'd Courant Is little less un- just and intolerant. It refers to the tes- timony of Mr' Hull and Mir. Dolan, two of the officials of the company. who tes- tified that the car was proceeding call tiously on it's regular schedule. and than adds
 What Mir Hull and Mir Dolan needed and wfa at all inconsiderate fools of that
 highly-dangerous variety naeds-is a file of policemen or of soldiers to restrain them from turning a public holiday into scene of wanton manslaughter. Why not import Russian methods al
 once? Why not adopt rules which vii prevent any street car running at al while the President is driving through
 or about a city? That seems to be wha these editors are driving at. Yet, in al | the testimony and all the accounts w | have seen of the unfortunate affair on | fact remains prominent and that is tha the driver of the Presidents carriag,
 deliberately turned his horses across tn | tracks in front of the oncoming cal when it was too late for the motormar to stop. The car was both within sign and within hearing, and when the car riage started to cross it was beyond the motorman's power to stop.
 The whole truth is that the efforts o the Northern newspapers seem to be al | devoted to the task of showing tha
 the Presidents carriage had exclusive right to the street and that not onl! other men but circumstances must yielt | to his convenience. In their anxiety tt | satisfy themselves that "the king car do no wrong the newspapers busy them selves trying to hide the facts in ord"l that the blame may be shifted iron those who ought to bear it.

TOO MUCH OR roo LITTLE.

One Professor Hough, of some Uni versity or other, and we suspect it is Chicago, has been teling us some things that we don't know about the planets. To tell the truth. he doesn't know any thing about it. either, but talks just as if he did. He assures us, for example, that we have no communication with the planets and never will have. which is discouraging. Bat that doesn't prevc 1t him asserting that none of the planets 1Rre inhabiteds with the exception of earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury. How be can be sure that these worlds are inhabited, when we have not and caE- not have any communication with them, is one of the things we haven't found out, and do not expect to. because ne doesn't tell US. He reasons that the great Creator would not have formed so many thousands and millions of worlds and only populated one of them.
 Admitting this to be so, we might ask the counter question-why, if 1t is ab- surd to thing that He would only people OIlG WOtlOS lS IL llot Cquohy M suppose that He would put inhabitants on only four of them, and they not the largest ones? In other words. if He would not stop at peopling one of the smallest why should He stop with four? That is the query we should be glad to fire at Hough. if he were convenient.
 But there is one point in the Profes- sor's theory that is not altogether with ont interest. He contends that not only is Mars inhabited but that the Martians are at least one million years ahead of us in development. That is interesting, and it makes us more than ever anxio IS to get acquainted with them. We have often speculated on the moral and phys ical changes and Improvements which will take plac4 on this earth as tae centuries pass, and have wondered what sort of people our descendants will be some thousands of years hence. Conse- quently, if there are already living hu- man beings who are a million years in advance of us in the arts and sciences we want to hold some kind of gabfest with them and find out all about 1t. If they have esched such m advanced stage in human development, and have reached 1t by the same processes which we on earth have gone through, then 1t stands to reason that they were once as we are and that we will eventually be as they are.
 This Professor has either told too much or not enough. He leaves us in the very middle of uncertainty and gives TO hope that we will get out of it. e should not have told us so much unless he is prepared to go ahead and tell us how to make speech with the MartianT. In short. he leaves us in the condition of the poet who wanted to
