The political situation in this coun- try now furnishes a field for some writ er of the Charles Dickens type, if such can be found, to write a book that would even eclipse Dickens' "Ameri can Notes." It is mix here and mix there ; bolt here and bolt there ; consolidate here and consolidate there, until there seems to be no possibility of getting to any clear understanding of what politicians propose to asK the people to do.

It will be noticed that while the United States guarantees to every State a republican form of government, and is empowered to protect each State against invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domestic affairs of any State, except upon application of the Legislature of the State, or upon the application of the Executive, when the Legislature cannot be convened. . This provision rets upon the sound theory that the people of the State, acting through their legally-chosen representatives, are, because oi their more intimate acquaintance with local conditions, better qualified than the President to judge of the necessity for Federal in terference. Those who framed our Constitution wisely determined to make as broad an application of the principles of local self-government as circumstances would permit, and we cannot dispute the correctness of the position taken by them without ex pressing a distrust of tbe people them selves. PUBLIC ECONOMY. "Since government exists for the protection of the rights of the people, and not for their spoliation, no expen diture of public money can be justified, unless that expenditure is necessary for the honest, economical administra tion of the government. In determin ing what appropriations are necessary, the interests ot those who pay taxes should be consulted rather than the wishes of those who receive or disburse public moneys. BOND ISSUES. " An increase in the bonded debt of the United States at this time Is en tirely without excuse. The issue of interest-bearing bonds within the last few years has been defended on the around that they were necessary to secure gold with which to redeem United States notes and Treasury notes ; but this necessity has been im aginary rather than real. Instead of exercising the legal right vested in the United States to redeem its bonds in either gold or silver, tho Executive branch of the government has followed a precedent established by a former, administration, and surrendered the ontion to the obligations. This ad- A. w ministratiye policy leaves the govern met at the mercy of those who find pecuniary profit in bond issues. The fact that the dealers in money and securities Cave been able to deplete or protect the Treasury according to their The Davis Warehouse, ROCKY raOUWT, W.
