FIT THE CONSTITUTION TO The
NATION.
IN. Y. Trsbune.)

The Calhounites seem to think that
the nation and the constitution have
both stood still for a hundred years.
a1d that the relations established In
1888 between the states and the cen
tral government have In no way al-
tered and are incapable of alteration.
They hold the constitution to be a
rigid. inelastic instrument without e1-
palsive potentialit!es. and think that
the balances originally struck be-
tween state and federal rights hsvv
not swerved . hairbreadth.s or. U they
have. have been sweryed ~ = result
of federal "usurpatiou" But this IL
. barren and wholly academic view.
for with the enormous changes which
the national life has undergone It
would have been impossible to have
prevented a fitting OF the coastitu-
ton TO new national needs and con-
ditions. The constitution was made
for the nation. not the nation for the
constitution. and while both have life
and growth left In them. both must
alter under the pressure Of outward
circumstances.
