There are but two modes OF ex-

Is by direct vote-the mode adopted
by Rhode Island in 1ISS when she
rejected the Federal Constitution.
Tho other Is the method generally
pursued. of acting by means of con-
ventions of delegates elected ex-
pressly as representatives Of the SOW
ereignty Of the people. Now. 1t Is
not n matter of opinion or theory
or speculation. but n plain undeni-
able historical fact. that there never
has been any act or expression or
sovereignty In either OF these modes
by that imaginery community. Tho

The political influence OF the
French peasants is good In one i'm

France has always been an urban
rather than rural tendency. and
its centre Is in Paris. 1t is the i'm
pulsive., frivolous and emotional
Partisan population that is mainly
responsible for the bellicose adven
lures Of France since the Revolution.
And. until the last decade Of the
nineteenth century. the Partisan de-

the Second Republic, and then En-
pefor. II was because he declared
himself friend of Internal and ex-
ternal peace. and the peasants were
