SPEAKING ofthe great Republic of the
United States in his Thanksgiving proc
lamation, President Rooseveltsays "Its
domains stretch across the continent from
one to the other of the two great oceans,
and it exercises dominion alike in the
Arctic and tropic realms. The growth in
wealth and population has surpassed even
the growth in territory. Nowhere else in
the world is the average of individual
com fort and material well-being as high
as in our fortunate land" The Presi-

General election returns received up to
an early hour this morning show the fol-
lowing results:
William H. Taft is elected president,
with approximately 29S votes.
Practically no change is indicated in
the complexion of the national house OF
represent atives.
The United States senat will retain its
present Republican majority.
Governor Charles f. Hug hes has been
reelected in New York state by about
$4,000 plurality.
Indiana has gone for TAFT.
Bryan has apparently carried Ne
braska
Ohio returns are very slow, owing to
the immense ballot, but Taft has carried
it by large plurality.
Judge TAFT may have a majority in the
greater city of New York, the first time
the consolidated city has given its vote to
a Republican presidential candidate.
Mr.. Taft probably will receive greater
plurality in New York state than Pres-
dent Rooseve did four years ago, it be-
ing estimated at oyer 100000. He has
succeeded Mr. ROoseyelt's pluraIity In
New Jersey and had a surprisingly big
vote In Massachus etts.
Speaker Cannon has been reelected by
his usual majority.

too many or too few, not emitting even
seaffolding, or If a single piece be lack
ing, we can see the place in the frame
exactly fitted and prepared to yet bring
such piece in-in such a case we find
1t impossible not to believe that Ste
phen and Franklin and Roger and
James all understood one another from
the beginning and all worked upon a
common plan or draft drawn up be-
fore the first blow was struck.
"It should not be overlooked that by
the Nebraska bill the people of a state
as well as territory were to be left
perfectly Free subject only to the con-
stitution.' Why mention a state? They
were legislating for territories and not
for or about states. Certainly the peo-
pie of a state are and ought to be sub
ject to the constitution of the United
States. but why is mention Of this
lugged into this merely territorial law?
Why are the people of a territory and
the people of a state therein Jumped
together and their relation to the con-
s~titution therein treated as being pre-
cisely the same?
"While the opinion of the court by
Chief Justice fancy in the bred Scott
case and the separate opinions of all
the %concurring judges expressly de-
clare that the constitution of the Unit
ed States neither permits congress nor
a territorial legislature to exclude slav-
cry from any United States territory,
they all omit to declare whether or not
the same constitution permits a state
or the people of a state to exclude 1t.
Possibly this was a mere omission, but
who can be quite sure II Mclean or
Curtis had sought to get into the opin-
ion a declaration of unlimited power
in the people of a state to exclude slav-
cry from their limits. just as Chase
and Mace sought to get such declara-
ton in behalf of the people of a terri
tory into the Nebraska BILL ask, who
can be quite sure hat it would not
have been voted down in the one case
as it had been in the other?
"The nearest approach to the point
Of declaring the power of a state over
slavery is made by Judge Nelson. He
approaches it more than once, using
the precise idea and almost the Ian
guage, too, of the Nebraska act. On

the restraint on the power of the terri

we have another nice little niche which
we may ere long see filed with anoth-

that the constitution of the United
States does not permit a state to ex-

this may especially be expected If the
doctrine of care not whether slavery
be voted down or voted up shall gain
upon the public mind sufficiently to
give promise that such a decision can
be maintained when made.

considered an unlucky craft as well
as a dishonored one.
Captain Philip B. V. Broke, a most
gallant British officer, had commanded
the Shannon for nearly sewn years,
Most of his officers and men had been
aboard with him through the greater
part of that period. He had brought
his ship to a tiptop condition for eff
fective service and had drilled his sea
men and gunners SO that they were as
fine and fit as any men who ever trod
deck timbers. On the other hand, Cap
tain Lawrence scarcely knew one of
his own seamen by sight. A number
of them were foreigners, and others
were American riffraff of humanity.
Captain Broke had been blockading
Boston harbor with the Shannon n
other vessels. In May, 1913. he deter
mined to bring about a single ship
combat with the Americans and prove
to his country that British sailors still
knew how to fight. The Shannon her
self gave challenge to combat by stand
ing in the offing across the bay when
the sun rose bright and glorious on
the morning Of the LIST day of June.
Bostonians Witnessing Lawrence's has
.ty preparations hustled themselves into
private boats to sail out and watch the
sea fight. The Chesapeake set sail at
noon and stood down the bay, followed
at a cautious distance by the pleasure
craft. Some of Lawrence's sailors cele-
brated the occasion of the sailing by
getting drunk. Despite mutiny OF the

"And well may he cling to that prln-
ciple. If he has any parental feeling.
well may he cling to 1t. That princi-
pie is the only shred left of his original
Nebraska doctrine. Under the bred
Scott decision %squatter sovereignty

the mold at the foundry, served

have never differed.
1.-THE several points of the bred Scott
decision In connection with Senator
Douglas care not policy constitute
the piece of machinery In its present
state of advancement. The working
points of that machinery are:
"First.-That no negro slave, i'm.
ported as such from Africa, and no de-
scendant of such can ever be a citi-
zen of any state In the sense of that
term as used In the constitution of the
United States.
"This point is made IN order to de-
prive the negro In every possible event
of the benefit of this provision of the
United States constitution, which de-
clares that the citizens of each state
shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunifies of citizens In the sew
| eral states.'
"Second.-That, subject to the con
s~titution of the United States mel
Their congress nor a territorial legisla-
ture can exclude slavery from any
United States territory.
This point is made In order that In
dividual men may fill up the territories
with slaves without danger of losing
them as property and thus to enhance
the chances of permanency to the in
stitution through all the future.
"Third.-That whether the holding a
negro in actual slavery. In a free state
makes him free as against the holder
the United States courts will not de-
eide, but will leave 1t to be decided
by the courts of any slave state the
negro may be forced into by the mas
