This is a government by the people, and the people are to blame ultimately if th sented, just exactly as much as if their worst pas- sions, their worst desires are represented; for in’ the one case it is their supineness that is represented exactly as in the other case it is their vice.

DEBATING SCHOOL SUGGESTED. Col. George Harvey's Weekly says: Coxey suggests ithat Senator Johnson and Mr. | Taft disouss the league from the porch at Marion. | That would be all xight.

Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our con- cerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties in ‘the ordi- nary wicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships, or enmities.—George Washington.
