Evolution Of the Stats.

According to the best information
we possess. the evolution Of the state
has been as follows: First the pa
triarchal condition. with the surrender
Of the individual to the associated
group; second. tribalism. on the prin-
ciple Of a real or supposed kinship:
third. the merging Of tribes into ma
lions under kings: fourth. the struggle
between the mobiles and the kings for
political supremacy. each by turns
seeking the alliance Of the people. with
the consequence that the average man
steadily gains in importance; finally.
the average man takes a hand on bis
own account against the kings and
mobiles, overtops them and makes his
welfare the ultimate end Of govern
ment.-New York American.
