They may not have agreed
on everything, but they all
agreed upon the main thing;
and thus they subordinated
nonessentials to the funda-
mentals, and marched all
one way-and that the way
to victory.
When the opposition, seek
ing to divide them, tried to
SOW dissensions among them,
they were too intent on fight
ing the common enemy to
be diverted, divided and de-
feated.
And they fought! That is
what has endeared them to
the party for. a full century.

within will let down the
drawbridge and invite them
in to tea and cake; but the
Jacksonians knew that the
only way to take a fortified
castle is to storm it, and
take it with battle ak and
artillery.
The people, the masses, in
Jackson's day were not in
different or apathetic TO-
ward politics, because the
vigor of the fighting aroused
their interest and swept
them into the army.
Naturally they were not
liked by the foe, although
the foe secretly admired
them for their fighting quail

outrageously.

THE attack by Repre-
l. sentative Patman, Of
Texas, on Secretary Mellon,
and the introduction by him
of an impeachment resolu-
tion, was based upon a
statute of the United States
which is violated by Mr..
Mellon s occupancy of the
office. he holds. There is
no possible doubt about that.
The statute was adopted
at the beginning of the
Government and by the men
who belonged to the days Of
the Revolution and the Con-
Stitution;, and it provides
that no man engaged in
commerce, directly or indi-
rectly, shall hold the post
of Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Personally we think it a
wise provision; it was still
thought a wise provision
as late as the Grant Ad-
ministration when the Sen
ate unanimously refused to
confirm the appointment of
Mr.. Stewart, the merchant
prince of New York city, on
the very ground now urged
against Mr.. Mellon. \
There is nothing vicious
or undignified or improper
in Mr.. Patman position.
We really must not fall into
the habit of Safeguarding
a man who insists on the
observance of the laws. But
there is little possibility
that anything will be done.
In little more than a year
Mr.. Mellon will go out of
office by act of the electo-
rate. But since the United
States is perfectly satisfied
to have the statute of 1889
violated, it is to be hoped
that Congress promptly will
repeal the law. The Roman
Republic was dead long be-
fore the forms of a repub-
lie were put aside. In COM
mon honesty the forms
should be in harmony with
the realities.
