The form of government remains unassailable un- der all mutations of public affairs.
 A wide, deep, radical and most inter- esting differentiation of practice in the operation respectively of the government at Washington and the government at Richmond Is conclusive proof of the af- lection in which both sections of the coun- try hold the form of government which controls the fate of the whole people.
 Time is process. Government is the most vital function of process Modern government is an amalgam of the liber-
 ty of the individual and the power of the
 community expressed in law. First in order in the career of society comes the age of pottery and the shaping of stones; next the art of working metals and
 weaving cloth. making fire and cooking

 wireless telegraph and the electric mo- tor. Through the advancing avenues of skill and invention society takes forms of change. Manners keep apace.

 power in society which they did not pos | sess in extreme of efficiency. They had l produced their own. They had borne
 tariff taxes in excess of their needs to 1 the enjoyment of the other section. They had supplied the men who founded the ] government and operated it from the be- 1 ginning with few exceptions.

Then there were 33 states and 3O,000,0oO population; now 46 states and S5,000,0o0 population, paying 20 times the taxes. Is govern ment a greater blessing to the tax payers now than then?

WY ENDELL PHILLIPS is quoted A/ by essayists: Revolutions are W not made, they come.''
 The great orator spoke in lamentaton and prophecy. The new born republican party, largely the fruit of his genius, had just been defeated in it's maiden national conflict, in 1856, under Fremont for Pres ident. The orator spoke farther bewail ing his lack of strength to loosen Massa- chusetts and plant her in mid seas, where the constitution of the United States would not follow to envelope her and mo- lest her.
 We have ready contrast. Senator Morgan, in one of those familiar corusca- tions of oratory which fell free as the air, from his lips said from his seat, the Southern Confederacy had come to the rescue of the constitution, however vain the mighty task.
 It is not the constitution, but the form of government 1t created that is the phe- nomenon of American politics and of the worlds history. Our form of govern ment possesses what the designers never intended to give 1t. The operation con- tradicts the project.
 A government interest has grown up. It is a distinct interest supporting hun dreds of thousands, yet separate from all human industry of the producing and commercial class. The government runs no farms, operates no mines or mills nor railroads nor sea-going craft engaged in trade. Nevertheless government pay Aoxr ir,ar f,, fkA;, ,.,a, great variety pursuits, government pay rolls ever grow longer, government work ever grows lighter. The government in- terest is the main fact in our political calculations; not the sanctity and gen. eral beneficence of government, but the honors and emoluments.
 None among the hundreds of thousands of men and women living on the emolu- ments of federal office Is tariff reform CT, unless urged by the vote in the rear. None would reform the pension roll for pensions may follow pensions in various directions. A great opportunity for aug mented pay rolls lies in the Philippines.
 We are told that in the last year 23 7S4 office holders have been added to the gov- ernment We are told that in six years S9319 office holders have been added and that the aggregate sum of their salaries is $70,0O0,0O0. The union has increased from S3 states, the year of MT. Bryan s birth, to 46 now.

Dubuque, June 81. - DR.. A. r..
Kepford, whose course Of lee
lures given here last winter In the
interest of an effort to check the
spread of the white plague, will be well
remembered, was in Dubuque Thursday
and Friday for the purpose of giving a
talk before the Teachers institute now
in progress.
On Friday morning DR.. Kepford and
a committee composed Of local physi-
clans and laymen, met at the Wales
hotel and plan was formulated and
arrangements discussed for the estab-
colony in which tuberculosis patients
from this community would be cared
for.
General favor was expressed on all
sides for the project, and much en-
thusiasm prevailed among the doctors
and the laymen as well. AS the out
come, Dr. Kepford made the state
ment that he felt confident the institu-
ton would be in progress in the Key
City in the course of a very short time.
Furthermore the state authority de-
clared that the institution of an "out
camp" in Dubuque would mean more
to the city than could possibly be esti-
mated by one not thoroughly convers-
ant with the situation. 1t would be OF
more Importance to the district than
any institution which has been estab-
lished here for long time past
DR.. Kepford said that he is more
than anxious that the tent colony
should be founded at Dubuque, as the
effects of the work inaugurated here
last winter have already begun to bear
fruit in a most marked manner. Mus
catine and Fort Madison, are both
worked up over the matter, and COM
mittees have already been appointed
to look to the initiatory measures of
the establishment Of the colony.
Dr. Kepford announces that the "out
camp would be in charge of the visit
ing nurse idea which is at present be-
ing agitated here. The colony will
consist at first of a number of tents
and an administration building, in the
latter of which the food will be pre-
pared and the offices of the admins
tration board will be located.
From humble beginnings the men In
terested in the proposed camp hope to
see it grow to an institution the mag
nitude of which will in time be a source
of great pride to Dubuque.
