THE NATION OR
THE STATE.

The question Of State rights is
being brought before the public
very prominently of late. We
find people who are very anxious
to preserve the rights of the
States, at some points, who are
willing at other places that the
government shall have supreme
charge. When Grover Cleveland
sent the national troops to Chi
cago at the time of the Pullman
strike the railroads were unit in
upholding his authority, but when
the government would deal with
the railroads under the interstate
commerce law the railroads are
very anxious to preserve State
rights. This is only natural and
shows that railroad men are just
like other people. 1t makes all
the difference in the world as. to
whose OK is being gored. The
trouble with nearly all questions
of this character is that people try
to fit particular policy over all
cases. You might as we'll try to
fit one shoe to every foot. Thomas
Jefferson was a great man, but ii
he were here now he would surely
change his opinion on more than
one subject, Abraham Lincoln
was one of the greatest mon
the world has ever known, but if
"Honest Abe" could coma down
to earth now and undo some OF
the thing he did and unsay some
of the things he said, he would
probably be glad to do it. It isn't
claimed, as yet, that these men
worked directly under divine in
spiration, although they probably
hadsdivine directi m, just as every
man has who wishes to do right.
Too many people wants to make
gospel out of everything said by
the leaders of party, The
leaders of party are no wiser
than thousands of other men

spent at Sunday school, because
we couldn't take our button string
with us there. How we'd fall
asleep every night counting those
buttons over and over again to
see if we hadn't made a mistake
in the count.
The big ones were at the end of
the string the little ones at the
top, and every time anyone gave
us a button, that whole string
would be unetrung, and that par
ticnlar bottom would be placed in
It's p:oper position and the whole
thing would be strung up again.
What little dogs in the manager

they would lose it in our house,
