EVENING EDITION.
A GOVEBKMENT OF
POVEB&!
The Blair Paternal Pedagogy bill
was up in he Senate jon " Thursday
and Senator Morgan gave it some
well deserved blows. There are, we
believe, about seven Senators "who
oppose this unconstitutional bill.
Senators Saulsbury, Butler, Beck,
Morgan, Coke, Maxey,! ind possibly
Vest are opposed. WO wish to sub
mit briefly a point for sensible peo
ple to reflect upon. l
Does the Constitution of the
. United States give Congress power
, to educate the negroes: and whites in
the States ? That is - the point. It
cannot be evaded. If lit does give
power when, m what clause, in what
section? ; , ... I
We must remember i? interpreting
the Constitution that the same laws
govern it as govern ill language,
and that we must apply the rules of
grammar and canons
criticism to
toe Constitution just
as we would
to 'Blackstone or Bacon
or Macaulay
or any article of Christian faith. It
will not do for editors iand .members
of Congress to say thit the laws of
language do not govern in constru-
inff t.hft wnrdg nf t.ha nirronii Tom- f
the land. They know; that such a
position is absurd and untenable.
What then? j. ' "
You must remembe ' that the Con
stitution is law ,and nust tie inter
preted fairly, according to the laws;
- that : govern language, afad as you '
would interpret any other law. ; Ail
men of candor and intelligence will
admit this. They would disgrace
their brains if they wpre to deny it
in any forum where reason presides.'
Now go a step farther. We must
remember that our. government is
one of limitations. The fathejre did
not set up a Nation, which was a
. la unto Vitself ; butj j jtliey formed a
Government of limited powers. Mark
that. The Constitution was framed
for the guidance and governance of
freemen. It is law-4-prganic law-t
the mudsill of the jUnion the ce
ment of .brotherhood. -The jPederal
Government did not J preate itself ;:it
did not create the people. Jt had no
, inherent power. , Itjs a creature
was created. ; By whom ? " By the
; people is ttet answer :The Federal
- wuitiuiuouu . io but; urtjatare or
the States. The1,! States were
- before ; the Federal Government.
s The States amcedeo certain powers.
, .But they retained all unto themselves
' 7 not specifically ' grant.
Uo man qualified to disouss a consti
tutional or legal question will gain
say that.. All . powers notxpressly
' v grantednot 'BpecificaHy- named in
.the organic, law the great indenture;
belonz to the State -: ti, tt:-a
Stales Jive by the act and Authority
c of the States themselvesThat is tY
- E
fact; that is the history bf the for.
mation of the Constitution. .v The
powers of the United States are
limited by express provision, for tbe
Constitution explicitly declares that
f(the powers : not;. delegated , to ; : the
United States by the , Constitution,
nor prohibited byjt to . the.Statee,
are reserved to the (States respectively
or to the people." That is the law.
Now is not that plain enough ? Is
it possible for a wayfaring man
though a fool to err therein ? Can
even a Congressman (both Houses
included always in that term, for a
Senator is a member of Congress,)
fail to. discern , the meanings of the
Constitution with reference ty re
served and delegated po wers ?
But let us take another step, and it
is very important. Let us apply this
to the Blair bill. :
The above, quoted. Constitutional
clause teacbes . this,, remember: that
where .power is not granted: then
Congress has certainly no power to
act. " There must be an express, a
specific grant of power before it can be
exeroised legally. Now if the Consti
tution does not specifically grant : to
the congress the power : to raise
money by taxation for educating the
illiterate poor in the States, then, to
our mind it is as clear as unrefrao-
ted ray of light, it has.no power
to do this.
There must, according to the very
genius of our Government a Gov
ernment of limitations and specific
powers be a clear and unmistakable
grant of power, or there is no an
thority to act. There can be nothing
clearer or more conclusive than that.
If the Constitution framed by the
States themselves through and by
their chosen agents and afterwards
ratified -by them in Convention as
sembled if the Constitution has not
granted to the Congress ; the right,
the power to use the public funds for
educational purposes then it must be
insisted upon that no such power or
right exists; and if the Congress in
the face of the absolute silence of the
Constitution in the very teeth of all
absence in the organic law of any
such grant of power or right should
then deliberately take from the
Treasury of the United Statep
seventy or eighty millions of dollars,
which had to be collected by a
levy upon the people for altogether
other and Constitutional purposes
and should apply it to school teaching
in the States then it would be a plain,
arrant, conspicuous, deliberate "bald
headed," unmitigated usurpation and
a gross abusje, without palliation,
without excuse a palpable violation
of the very law the members had
solemnly sworn to obey.
To make this appear clearer, we
will consider the question at another
time if the Constitution does really
grant any such power. We will dis
cuss the clause relied upon by the
advocates of National school teach
ing in the States.

! -CURRENT COMMENT. ,
- - - Mr,, . Weston, the . pedestrian;
has for a good many years mado tem
perance in eating and drinking a rule.
He has claimed that a man called
upon to make great physical exer
tion, or to endure a great strain, must
not only economize his strength, but
must avoid stimulants ' and intoxi
cants. His theory was, in short, that
strength and endurance found their
best expression in the man temperate.
Mr. Weston, in his latest walk and
in several previous . ones calling for
pluck and , endurance, has demon
strated in a .very practical way the
truth of his theory as it is applied to
the physical man. In doing this he
has done a. service to the. public, but
bis theory is not limited to the ques
tion of physical endurance or to the
manifestation of physical strength

- The. Florida Press Association, assembled
in regular annual meeting, having had their
attention drawn to numerous published ex
aggerationa and mi representations of the
extent of the damage, done - in Florida by
the recent cold weather and knowing that
thousands of persons are looking forward to
settlement in this Stale, we are disturbed
by these unfounded statements, and deem
it proper to make a true and candid state
ment of the facta as they -exist, without

fiesolved, That we, members of the Flo
rida Press Association, coming from all
parts of the State, and therefore fully cogni
zant of the real - condition of - the orange
groves, as now shown at the end of thirty
days from the time of the freeze, state the
following as the true facts in reference
thereto: - -
1st. That in consequence of the exceed
ing low temperature the larger part of the
fruit remaining on the trees was frozen.
: 2d. That the bearing trees and . the trees
which were in a healthy condition received
no injury, although losing their leaves, and
are already budding, with promise of a fair
crop for the present year. ; .
3d. That while the trees in the- more
northerly counties are not as advanced in
budding out, it is believed that in no por
tion of the orange growing region of
Florida have the trees received any material
damage. j
4th. That it has been demonstrated that
orange trees can sustain a much lower de
gree of cold than has been heretofore sup
posed, giving renewed assurance of the
safety and durability of the orange growing
interests of the State.
