wise interfere with the exercise of its lawful powers. The fact that there are within that territory other governments, exercising sovereignity over all matters not so committed to it can make no difference under double form of government, the essential principle of which is a partition of powers to be. exercised Independently over the same territory. "This sovereign right of the United States necessarily follows Its officers and agents everywhere they go, protecting and maintaining them In the discharge of their duty. Congress has accordingly, by Section K97 of the Revised Statutes, authorized the President to use the armed forces of the government in aid of State authorities when requested by them, as provided in the Constitution, and has also by the following section, 5203, authorized him to employ such forces upon his own judgment alone, against 'unlawful obstructions, combinations or assemblages of persons. in whatever State or Territory thereof tho laws of the United States may be forcibly opposed or the execution, thereof forcibly obstructed. A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE. Tt was under the power conferred by the section last named that the late rebellion was suppressed. Mr. Bryan's doctrine that this law is unconstitutional is more dangerous than that of secession. The latter, at least, left the government some power and authority in the territory of the States which should choose to remain. Mr. Bryan's would reduce it to the idle mimicry of tho stage. . "It was no more intended to make the general government dependent upon the States with respect to the matters committed to it than to make the States subject to the general government with respect to the rights deserved to them. As the general government is authorized to maintain a regular army and navy, which the States . cannot do, and as the mili.ia of all the States is subject to the direct call of the President, it was natural that the States should be made to call on A for aid against violence, but there was ao reason why it should call or wait on. fnem for protection to itelf. "What I have said is well known to lawyers and students of the Constitution. It is chiefly intended for the people at large before whom the subject has now been brought. "I will recall In this connection the following resolution proposed by the Hon. John W. Daniel, of Virginia, who was president of the convention which nominated Bryan, wnich was passed by the Senate July 12. li!4 (Congressional Record, page 801), without apparent dissenal: " 'Resolved, That the Senate indorses the prompt and vigorous measures adopted by the President of the United States and the members of hi3 administration to repulse and repress, by military force, the interference of lawless men with the due process of the laws of the United States with the transportation of the mails of the United States and with commerce between the States.' "The action of the President and his administration has the full sympathy and support of the law-abiding masses of the people of the United States, and he will be supported by all departments of the government and by the power and resources of the entire Nation. "' "It must be that Mr. Bryan, amid the many demands on his time and attention, has fallen into an inadvertence. I cannot believe that he really thinks the President has no power under the Constitution and laws to maintain the government Intrusted to his charge. Nor can I believe that Mr. Bryan means to promise, or to make, or permit others to think he has promised not to interfere, if he should be elected, and the situation of the riots of lSf4 should arise during his term. I will not lightly question either his knowledge as a lawyer or his sincerity as a public man. Certainly his letter is generally misunderstood, unless it means either that Mr. Bryan thinks the President has no power or that he would himself not use it if elected. "JUDSON HARMON."

CROVDS AT CANTON. (Concluded from First I'ase.) and progress than any party in this world or any other. We are glad to call on Major McKinley, because he is the representative of the principles of the great party that we adhere to the X'arty which has done' so much for humanity. (Applause.) We call to see him because we beiieve, as he does, that the employment of one man at fair wages in an American shop is worth more to the Republic than the employment of a thousand men in a British shop. (Cries of 'That's right!') We are glad t. call and' pee him because he believes, as we do, in maintaining revenue collectors at the ports of the Nation rather than at the doors of the citizen. (Cries of 'Good!' 'Good!') We are glad "to have the opportunity to honor him, and I am glad to see you all here. 1 congratulate him on the fact that so many loyal people from all over the country are coming here to pay him their respects, and, my fellow-citizens, I need not ted you that he is worthy of any honor that the people of America can confer upon him. (Great cheering and cries of 'You are right!') "We are looking forward to better times. The light has broken in the Bast (laughter), and the cloud of depression is rapidly passing away. The Green Mountain boys have been here to-day. I learned that a few of them were here this morning before we got here. We are sorry not to nave been with them, but probably it was well enough, because there might have been too many of us if we had come at the s.-me lime. The Governor of Rhode Island, a State, perhaps, little in area, but big in patriotism and loyalty to the country (great applause), and, as one of her citizens said last night, she was a little State, but they did not measure her by feet but by heads. (Great laughter.) He is here now the chief executive of Rhode Island, to pay his respects hs one of the citizens of his State, and jiromises that his State will follow wherever Ohio leads. (Great applause.) We are glad to meet him and to greet him, and I know you will be glad to see him (cries of 'Rhode Island ): and thanking you now for your very kind attention and for your cordial greeting to the man who happens to be your chief executive, I take pleasure in Introducing to you the Hon. Cnaiits Warren Lippitt, Governor of Rhode Island." (Great applause.) Governor Lippitt responded to repeated calls, saying in part: "Governor Bushnell and my Fellow-citizens of Ohio The circumstances, my fellow-citizens, which bring you here are undoubtedly of greater importance than any similar circumstances that have ever occurred before in this country. The questions to be dectd'd at the coming election are going to determine the prosperity, or the want of prosperity, in the United States for a good many years to come. I consider it a very great privilege to myself and tho gentlemen who accompany me from Rhode Island to be able to personally pay respects to your honored and most distinguished citizen William McKinley. (Tremendous cheering.) We believe that he will be the next President of the United States. (Renewed cheering.) While in Rhode Island i we cannot cast as many votes as you can in Ohio, nevertheless as a citizen of that State I am absolutely certain that one of tho largest, if net the largest, majorities that ever Rhode Island has given will be given next November to William McKinley for President. (Great cheers and cries of Hurrah for Rhode Island.') I do not believe that there is any considerable number of people in that State in fact, I am nure that there are not many who are willing to take 53 cents for $1. (Applause and laughter.) They believe that after they have worked ten hours a day, more or less, as tho case may be, that they should receive a dollar representing PX) cents for their labor, and not a cheap dollar. (Great applause and cries ot 'That's right.') They believe, too, that something should be done In the way of Improving the tariff and correcting the disasters which have been caused by the enactment of the Wilson tariff bill. They believe that when your fellow-citizen is inaugurated (great cheering) as President of the United States that such a change in the tariff law will be made as will fulfill the statements so often made that William McKinley is the 'advance agent of prosperity' for the United States." (Applause.) Found Floating: In a Reservoir. ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 11. The body of Thomas J. Delbridge, a young business man of high social and commercial standing, who disappeared Tuesday, was found this morning tloating on the surface of the old water works reservoir at Lakewood Park. Delbridije was last seen as he entered a boat to take a bath in the reservoir at a late hour Tuesday night. The next morning the boat was found empty and his clothes were discovered in the bathhouse. He had recently taken out life insurance policies aggregating over $50,000, and this, together with the fact that his body was not found after two days' search, gave currency to the theory that he had simply disappeared, a theory which grew into a public conviction until disposed of by the rising of the body to the surface this morning: Office Fleeted by lloo IIoom.

TOPICS OF METHODISTS

SOIJKCTS IJISCISSED AT NORTHWEST INDIANA CONFERENCE. Sludison Ilaptist Association Failure of the Indiana Steel-Casting; Company, of Montpeller. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 11. The morning session of the Northwest Indiana Methodist Conference was devoted to passing upon the applicants for advancement in the ministry and to an hour's address by Bishop Andrews to the ministers who have been admitted to the conrerence. Bishop Andrews told them their tone of address should not be that of the Master. They would preach weekly to men of greater intellect than themselves. They were to persuade men to believe with them and not to arrogate to themselves a lordship over tho thoughts of men. He also cautlonea them that their lives would be spent in poverty, saying that the men who have done the greatest spiritual work of the world have been poor men. He said the function of the minister is not to settle questions affecting the reconstruction of society, nor the relations between capital and labor, but it is to deal with the individual man, and, as he is improved spiritually, there will come the reconstruction of state along the best lines. However commendable and desirable may be municipal and other reforms, temperance legislation and the like, tho ministry is to deal with the individual. Dr. J. W. Hamilton, one of the secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society, addressed the conference in regard to the pressing need of money for that benevolence. He said the society is in debt $200,000, and while it had been curtailing expenses wherever possible it was doubly embarrassed by the payment of interest on this debt, which was created some years ago. It is proposed to set apart the collections on next Thanksgiving morning for the aocltiy. W. J. Vigus. of Indianapolis. State superintendent of the American Bible Society, also addressed the conference. The committee appointed to investigate the charge against Rev. Wood, of Newton, reported in favor of dismissing the charge, and the committeeman making the report said he had seen the complainant and the accused shaking hands and apparently the holy spirit had reconciled them.

They are instructed to inform country merchants that if Mr. Bryan is elected there will be a general panic throughout the country; all business houses will close; all country dealers who have outstanding accounts will be summarily closed up, and that universal bankruptcy will prevail. They are also instructed, in many instances, to refuse credit to country merchants who are supporting the silver cau.'ie. Positive information to this effect has reached Democratic headquarters from more than a dozen towns in Illinois." A number of traveling men were in Greensburg on Wednesday.

Miers, Popocrat, candidates for Congress in the Second district, took place this afternoon in the courthouse yard. The crowd, which was estimated at five hundred, was quiet, orderly and attentive. Judge Miers was tha first to speak, and his speech was a disappointment to the free-silver Democrats. It is conceded that Hardy had the better of him in this discussion. Mr. Hardy charged that his competitor, who is now running on a free-silver platform, was for gold at the time of his nomination. Mr. Hardy also declared that everybody in Bloomington, Mr. Miers's home, knew this to be a fact, and he challenged Miers to deny it. Mr. Miers could not be induced to deny these charges. Hardy was the lion of the hour when the debate closed. Swift's Convincing Arguments. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 10. Hon. Lucius B.

The McKinley Bicycle and the Arcade File-workers' clubs turned out in a body, the former introducing a novel feature in bicycle McKinley lanterns and the latter appearing in new campaign suits. The audience was made up for a great part with ladies, and Mr. Swift's remarks brought forth much applause. He dwelt particularly upon the financial question, and introduced some of the plainest and most convincing arguments given here this year. He showed how, in case a cheap money was given to the people, it would be the laborer who would be the first to suffer, and also showed that the price of labor would be the last of all prices to advance.

RUSHVILLE, Ind., Sept. 11. The action of the Sixth district Democrats at Indianapolis in pulling George H. Puntenney, of this city, off the congressional- ticket to give a clear track to Dr. C. A. Robinson, the Populist, has split the Democracy of this district in twain, and insures the election of Mr. Johnson by one of the largest majorities ever known. Mr. Puntenney is talking, and is saying everything but pleasant words about the followers of Robinson. It is said that he will likely discuss the matter in his paper, the Jacksonian.

Noble Profession. New York Evening Recorder. From London there has been imported this year a profession which is known as that of the "cutter out." The aim of the "cutter out" is to counteract the "detrimental." The latter is the terror of parents with marriageable daughters, and Is usually a young man whose personal charms are as great as his means and prospects are small. Aware that opposition merely fans the flame of passion, shrewd mammas now enj:age the services of the professional "cutter out." His duties are to make the damsel out of conceit with the objectionable individual and then, havintt

accomplished this, to disnpienr. As a rula the "cftter out" Is young, handsome and frequently well born, perhaps an impecunious member of the Culumet or Knickerbocker Club.

SETTIXG BLAINE'S RECORD RIGHT. Popocrntlc Misrepresentation of III Silver Speech Corrected. Washington Special to New York Tribune. The attempts of Bryan. and other Popo cratie orators as well as of t opocratlo committees to falsify the record of Jaim-s G. Blaine on the silver question by the use of garbled extracts from the speech he dliveied in the Senate on Feb. 7, 1S7S. has created an extraordinary demand amon? Republicans in all parts of the country for copies of the speech itself. In partiil response to this demand the Republican! Congress ccnamittee issued several hundred thousand copies some time ago. but th number- was found to be utterly Inadequate, and an order has now been given, for the printing of a round million copies the largest order that was ever given for a single document by any political committee. If this number is found insutfiolent more will be printed. Mr. Bryan and his supporters will be made to realize before the end of the campaign that they made a grievous and disastrous mistake when they attempted to falsify the record anI misrepresent the attitude of Mr. Blaine tit the silver question. It seems strange that any man who was not a political idiot should have made such un attempt. In the course of the speech referred to Mr. Blaine said: "At. the current rates of silver the fre coinage of a dollar containing 41 21 grains, worth in gDld about 92 cents, gives an lleg itimate profit to the owner of the bullioiu enabling him to take 92 cents' worth of it to tho mint and get it stampcnl as coin and force his neighbor to take it for a full dollar. This is au undu?, an unfair advantage which tho government has no rmht to give the owners of silver bullion and which defrauds the man who is forced to t-ko thadollar. Evidently the first dictate of pru. dence is to coin such a dollar as will not enly do justice among our citizens at home, but will prove a protection an absolute barricade against the gold monometalllsis of Europe, who. when tho opportunity offers, will quickly elraw from us the one hundred and sixty million of gold coin which we now hold. If we coin a silver dollar of full legal tender, obviously below the current value of the gold dollar, we are opening wide our doors and Inviting Europe to take our gold. With our gold flowing out from us we shall be forced to the single silver standard, and our relation with the leading commercial countries of the world will be not only e rabarrass-j i. but crippled. It will assuredly follow' that if we give free coinage to this dollar Of Inferior value and put it in circulation at thf opense of our better coinage in gold, and vnless we expect th1 uniform and invariable experience of other nations to be in some mysterious way suspended for our peculiar benefit, we will inevitably lce our gold coin. It will flow out from us with, the certainty and the force of the tides." Mr. Blaine was opposing and argulnj? against the coinage of i2-cent silver dollars. If he were alive to-day what would, he say about the proposition for the free and unlimited coinage of 53-cent dollars, regardless of "the aid pr consent- of anyother nation on earth?"On Feb. 15, 1S7S, Mr. Blaine offered an amendment to the Blaine-Allison bill, providing that the silver dollar to be coined should contain 425 grains instead" of 412a grains of standard silver. His amendment was rejected, and he voted gainst the bill which provided f6r the limited coinage of 1'2-cent silver dollars. , Finch for Insurance Referee. I Insurance World. Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, it la announced has been selected to succeed the late referee, ex-Governor Russell, by the antl-rebato compact. Mr. Reed is a politician of national reputation. As the renowned Czar of the House Of Representatives he has demonstrated ability as a presiding officer. He is strong in positivism, and the editor of Insurance World in one of his admirers; but what does Mr. Reed know about insurance to specially qualify him for the office? If we had a vote and an opportunity for making a. nomination, we would name for the piacrt and vote for Judge John A. Finch, of Indianapolis, a man who is not only familiar with every phase of insurance, but Is also specially qualified by being so broad m"tally that he could not be influenced k,y sentiment in rendering a decision.
