John Adam?, in his three vol
umes in defence of tha Constitution
of the United States,1 has reviewed
the various republics of ancient
tfmes, and of the middle ages, and
has classified republics into three
-distinct forms: the democratical re-!
publics, aristocraiical republics,!
and monarchical ... republics: The;
democratical republics have al
ways had a plural executive, some
t?o, some ten, and others, a differ
ent number. Rome and Carthage'
and Sparta had two chief executive!
officers, Athens ten, and Switzer
land has now, and has had for over
&q hundred years, seven chief
executive officers, called their chie:
-executive council.
A monarchy is a government o
- one man. The root and derivation
of the word shows it to be the ruling
of one person. , Where all the powj
ers of a government are vested' id
' one man it is an absolute monarchy.
- But where only a part of the eui
-preme power is given to one man
K.it is a limited monarchy. Under
our Federal Constitution the execu
tive power, indeed all the supreme
executive power is vested in the
President, one man. So that, as to
the executive branch of the govern
it is .indubitably monarchical. A
monarchy may be inheritable or
elective by the. people. History
shows elective monarchies to be the
most corrupt and worst form of
government there is. They, have
been found insepaiable frQm oom
motions and increasing warfare, of
political factions struggling and
wrangling for partisan ascendency
and power. k
The people of this country gen
erally have been under the impres
sion that they had a democratic re
public, but this is a mistake, and
the sooner it is corrected the better.

THIS W1IIXJE U&N TO ItUIE.
The Hon. Mr. Crawford was
timely and to the point in his speech
lastfnight with regard to such legis
lation as carries with it the domi
nance of any but the white race. It
is he who has poshed furthest to the
!aat confines of human existence and
earned civilization in his train and
spread a knowledge of the Christian
religion oyer the realms 'inhabited
by the .other races, dispensing good
where the tribes of men scarcely
knew what good is. j
With intuitive as well as demon
strated knowledge he grasps the
reins of government that properly
belong to him and thereby secures
to himself and those around him,
even of the other races, the highest
good and the inost rapid develop
ment. There is a law of instinct
even that forbids the mingling of
races on exact equality, anilines of
distinction are yet too vivid to be
obliterated. The craviog fpr pub
lic office should not be so fostered
a3 to work demoralization and alitn
ation between the races. Let it be
remembered, too, that we can't all
hold office, for we are not j needed.
Only a small number, comparatively,
are needed in office, and nibe times
out of ten they are the most! unfor
tunate and the lea3t appreciate d.

We insert with pleasure an article
to day. "Forms of Government."
It i3 of interest because ef j it3 age

and because it eininated frpm one
of the bright lights of the period in
which it wa3 conceived. The ap
parent incongruity of Mr. (Adam's
defense of the Constitution while
he seems to term our's a one man
goyernment and therefore ; a mon
archy, we will not attempt ! to . rec
oncile. There may have been some
misconstruction of Mr. Adams. To
say: the least we liko to elect our
president and- his" power ;is suffi

IllS Still 19 fetlll.
Probably the oldest still in the
United States was seized near Plain -field;
N. J., last Friday. It belonged
' to John Lainbert and has been
yearly distilling applf jack-, since
1723. In that year the great grand
father of the present Lambert put
in the first plant. There is a story
hand ed w n from gen erati onto
generation in-the Lainbert family
that Lainbert applejack won for
Washington the battle of Monmont
over Sir George Clinton. The bat
tle was fought June 28, 1878, one of
the hottest days on record. When
the continentals began to succumb
to heat and overwhelming numbers
Lainbert, who was one of Washing
ton V men, produced two jugs of his
whiskey, the; effects of which was
marvellous and the men fought like
demons till night put an end to the
battle. In the morning Clinton
and his red coats had disappeared.
