SOMI-: THOl'GHTS SUGGESTED HY
THl_ KENTDCKY DECISION.
There is no more extreme stickler for
State's rights than The Times, but State
; rights and rights for our States in he Un
lion, under the Constitution of the United
iiStates, must be distinguished. A State
'not ruled by a constitution like ours may
;do whstever its Lcgislalures pleases; it
Ha sovereign to do whatever it chooses.
rBut -under our constitution the States of
our Union have surrendered some of their
? powers. They have agreed, for instance,
'that Congress alone shall regulate com
l_nenee between the States. They have
agreed. ar.d they are prohlbited by it, from
limpairlng the obligation of contracts; they
lare prohibited to grant patents of nobili
jty, and so they have agreed and are pro
jhibitfd by the constitution to do a num?
ber of other things. Tlie true advocate of
State's rights under our constitution is
just as positive, therefore, in demanding
That the States shall he held to their
agreements in the cases in which they
have surrehdered their sovertignty and
_re under constitutional prohibitions as he
is in claiming tor them the fullest exer
cise of their freedom where they have not
eurrc-ndered thclr soverelgaty.
The fourteenth amendment to the Con
stttaitlon of the United Sates provides
that "no State shall deprive any perscn
of life, liberty or property without due
process of law." The Supreme Court of
the United States has decided that for
Uie obeervance of this provislon a State
may act by any of its agencies, and that
if it deprlves any person of life. liberty or
property without uue< process of law,
tvhether acting by one'of Us agencies or
by another, it violates tliis provision. In
ex parte Virginia. 100th O. S., at page 31G,
the Supreme Court says: .
"We have said that the prohibitions of
the fourteenth amendment are addressed
io the States. They have reference to
ections of the poiitical body denoc-lnated
a State, by whatever instruments or in
whatever modes that action may be taken.
A. Sfaie acts by its legislative, its execu?
tive or its judicial authoritits. It can act
Jn no other way. The constitutional pro?
vision, therefore, must mean that no agen
cy Ot the State, or of the oliicers or agents
by whoni its powers are exerted, shall de
r.y xo any person within its Jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws. Who
ever, by virtue of pubiic posltlon under a
State government. deprivi s another of
property. life or liberty without due pro?
cess of law, or denies or takes away the
equa; protection of the laws, violates tbe
constitutional inhibitiou; and as he acts
?in the name and for the State, and is
dothed with the State's power, his acl
1b that of the State. This must be so, or
ihe constitutional prohlbltion has no mean
Ing."
We need not discuss the question wheth
er an office is property or not, but this
is certain, if the Legislature of Kentueky
ceprived Mr. Tayior of property without
due process of law, it would have been
entirely competent for the Supreme Court
of the United States to have anntriled its
action, notwithstanding the fact that the
Legislature did it, for it would have been
a case of a State depriving a person of
property through the agency of its Legis?
lature without due process of law; and it
need not have surprised any one if the Su?
preme Court had taken Jurisdiction of this
caeo and had anuullcd the action of the
Legislature of Kentueky, as we pointed
out some days before the decision. In
dec-d, Mr. Justice Harlan. one of the ablest
Judges ln the court, dehvered a dissentlng
opinion, in which he held that the court
ehould have taken jurisdiction and should
have ar.r.ulled the action of the Kentueky
Legislature.
What we have aimed at in this article
is to make it clear that resarding an
tiflice as property. if the Legiskuure of
Koniucky had dejirivcd Mr. Tayior of his
*tHce. it would have been such a contra
reutlon of the fourteenth amendment as
n-ould have en'.itied the United States
Supreme Court to interfere, because
State's rights imply the corrclatlve State's
tu.its. But, as a matter of fact. the Su?
preme Court decided that the State had a !
?ight to appoint -whatever tribunal it chose
lor decidlng questions of this character. j
tnd. as a matter of fact, Kentueky had
ippolnted its Legislature as the court of
ast rcsort, aud tbe 4eci-lon ol this body
was one that was both constitutional and
had been acqulesccd in numerour times
before. As Justice Brewcr said. it was
not the part of the Supreme Court to go
behind the motives of the members of the
Lcgislature in the discharge of their du
lies. That ls a question which lies be?
tween them and their constituents. Ar.d
so the action of the Supreme Court in this
case is one that only accentuates the fun
damentaj character of that oplnion which
we so long have held, that State's rights
under the constitution are to be protected,
for it is difficult to imagine a stronger
point in favor of State's rights than the
decislon of this august court to the effeet
that a State may appoint whatsoever tri
btinal It chooses to pass upon qucstions of
the character involved in the dispute be?
tween Beckham and Taylor. Every en
llghtrned citizen feels that there ought to
bc a power like that which Taylor sought
to have exerciscd in his own hehalf on this
occasion, and w-hich the Supreme Court
said was unnecessary lo say to lawless
commtinities and Iawfess individuals "thus
far shall thou go and no farther, but here
shall thy proud waves be stayed."
putii:s of citizenship.
Chicago politlcians are considering a
proposltion to raise the annuai salary of
each member of the Board of Aldermrn
to $5,000 a year. It has been argued that
members of the Richmond City Council
should be paid a good salary. But it is
doubtful if the pubiic service wouid be im
proved thereby. It might. to be sure,
have the effeet to make the position so
desirable as that there wouid be a livelier
contest each year between prominent
citizens for posiiions in our legislative
body, but as a rule members pf the Rich?
mond City Council and Board of Alder
men serve their city in a true patriotic
spirit, and their work is a labor of love.
Such a service is not to be purchased
with dollars and cents. We do not mean
that a CouncKman wouid necessariiy be
any the less efficient or patriolic if he
were paid a salary. But the man who
goes lo the Council in the right spirit
and who serves in the right spirit will
work as faithfully wdtbout a salary as
with it, and the chances are that if there
was a salary attached the scramble
wouid be so great as to dlscourage men
who have no taste for parlisan politics
from entering the race.
The surest way for a city to get a good
legislativo body is for the citizens them
selves to take an active interest in
municipal elections, exert themselves to
bring the best men forward, exert them?
selves to elect the best men and then
when such a Council has bt-en secured,
to take a lively interest in its work and
to aiu the Councilmen in ihe discharge
of their diflicult duties. The troublc is
that many citizens are too prone to stay
at home and leave the ward politicians
in control of local politics. There are
many prominent cUizcns in this city who
never take the trouble to vote in a pri?
mary election, who give the subect of
local politics no attention whatever, and
yet these men are the men to complain
if the city's affairs are not properly con
ductcd. And so things are allowed to
drift along from year to year until by
and by there is a big floating debt and
a threat of increased taxes, and then
there is a general awakening. When
once the people are aroused they will
turn out and elect a reform ticket, and
things will go along well for a few years,
until, through indifference, a political
clique again gets into the saddle and
makes it necessary lo have another
"arousement." This sort of thing couid
be avoid'ed if the representative citizens
?of the city wouid always take a lively
interest in pubiic affairs, and see to it that
the right sort of men are elected to lill
tlie office.
The right of suffrage carries with it a
grave responsibility. The government
has a claim upon every citizen who has
the rigbt to vote, and this is an obliga
tion which cannot with impunity be
shirked. It is as much a man's duty to
vote and to aid in tho establishment and
maintenance of good government as it
It his duty to take up arms in time of
war. There are sins of omission in
political life as well as in religious life.
THE AVASHINGTON POST CATCHI'S
A TAHTAK.
Tlie Washington Post is one of the
most blaiant of the newspapers that de
nounce England i:i column after colunin
for her war with the Boers. The Post
has been citing the eminent historian,
Lecky, as auihority for its denunciation of
England, and this has brought from the
the Rev. Dr. Randolph Mc-KIm, of Wash?
ington, the following most delightful re
<ort. It is a little long, but wiil well
repay perusal:
Editor Post: Vou have again and again
adverted in your columns to the con
demnaiion of the course of Great Britain
toward the Boer republics which has
been given exiiression to by that "forc
niost writer of criiical and dispassionate
history." the Right Hon.' W. E. H.
Leckv. To be supportcd ifl your denunci?
ation of England by the oplnion of an
historian so calm, so judicial. so impar
tlal, so thorough as Mr. Lec-ky you have
justly considered a point of no small im
portance. To his other pre-eminent qua'J
rications for judging rlghte'ously of this
unhappy conflict in South Africa is to oe
added the fact that through his wife, a
Duteh lady of conspicuous talent, he has
acc-ess to the pro-Boer point of view. He
is aiso one of the few leadlng British
statesmen who have known personally
Paul Kruger and other Transvaal leaders.
The conclusions of such a man. so able
and so dispassionate, ought, as you truly
suggest, to have great weight in this
much controverted discussion. Now, in
order that your readers may apprec'ate
the fuil measure and extent of the agree?
ment between the views of the Post and
those of Mr. Lecky, and may see for
themselves how this great writer throws
the enormous weight of his oplnion into
the scale against England and in favor
of the Boers. I subjoin a few extracts
from an article published by him over his
own slgnatura in the month of March of
this year:
"The overwhelming preponderance of
opinion in support of the necessity of the
present war wouid not have been attained
if its immediate cause bad not been a
Boer ultimatum which it was manifestly
impossible for any sclf-respectiug gov?
ernment to have accepted, followed by an
invasion of British territory, which it was
the manifest duty of every British gov?
ernment to repel.
"For my own part," he continued, "I
am convinced that the war had, on the
English side, for some time become inevi
table. and could not have been greatly
postponed. It was Impossible that a
British Government could permanently
ignore the state of subjection and inferior
ity to which a great body of British sub
jects at Johannesburg bad been re
duced'. * ? ? A long series of pro
gressive disqualiflcaiions had deprived
the English popuiation of every ves
tigo of political power, and eubjected^
them ta numcrous and irritating disa
bliities. The Transvaal remained the only
part of South Africa where one white
race-was held In "a position of inferlorlty
to another. Consldering the distlnct
promise of equallty that was made when
England conferred a limlted independence
on the Transvaal. consldering the position
of England in South Africa.-and' the per
fect cquality granted to Dutch subjects
in our own colonies, it was impossible
that the British Government should ac
qulesce in this state of things, and once
they forrr.ally took up the grievances of
the Uitlanders, it soon became cvident
from the disposition of the Government at
Pretoria that a peaceful solution was ex
cecdingiy improbable."
Again he says, "Disqualification after
disqualification, utterly unknown when
England conceued sclf-government 'to
inhabitants of the Transvaal.' was in
troduced. Laws raising the qualifications
for citizenship from two to fourteen years'
residence; interfering with the press, with
pubiic meetings and with the right of res?
idence and reducing tho law courts to ut
ter servitude by giving a simple resolu?
tion of the majority of the small Dutch
Vblksraad a!l tha force of law, clcarly
showed the policy of the government, and
there were abuses in administration which
were probably even more irritating than
the abuse in legislatidn.
"In England no responsible po'itician
desired the war. * * * There was not. I
beiieve, the smallest desire among the
Ministers to annex the Transvaal, but
there was a determination to put an end
to the had government at Johanhesburg
and to secure for the English-speaking
popuiation the same kind of privileges
which wei'e enjoyed' by the Dutch in our
own colonies. The British Government
were perfeetly prepared to -acquiesce in
an arrangement which wouid have strict
ly limlted the Uitlander representation to
a founh or even a fifth part of the Volks
raad, and they were ready at the same
time to give the fuilest and most formal
guarantee of the independence of the
Transvaal. If this had been accepted
frankly and unreseryedly the war wouid
nerer "have taken place. * * * But the
proposals of England were either evaded
or disdainfully rejected."
The preelse agreement pf these utter
ances of Mr. Lecky with the attitude of
the Post is too obvlous to reqiiire com
ment. R. H. M;KIM.
The Post had fairness enough to print
Dr. McKlm's letter, but it printed it with?
out commont, and it dal not have the
candor to acknowledgo that it ha'd made
an unfortunate citation of Lecky as an
authority for its side. Two or three days
after it printed Dr. iMcKim's letter it had
a lame editorial comment upon the sub?
ject, which amounted to no more than
a quotation from Lecky denouncirig Cecil
Rhodes. This was, of course wholly
beside the issue and only reflected upon
the Post as disclosing an attempt to
bolster up an indefensible position by
humbuggery.
WTe are glad to read' Mr. Lecky's utter
ances as quoted by Dr. McKim. We
have. from the beginning, felt that in
telligent men who were fair, wouid take
his view of the case.
WHAT ARE THE ENVOYS UP TO?
The envoys of the Boers, who came to
this country to induce our government to
intervene in the South African war, were
politeiy received by the President, but
were told that it was impossible for this
government to comply with their recuest.
Their misslon ended, the envoys should
return. But it seems 'to be their purpise
to take their appeal to the psople. To
what end? To induce the voters of the
United States to elect a man to the
Presidency in November with instructions
to espouse the causo of the Boers?
This is a free country and many privi?
leges are pertnitted here. The Boer en?
voys have had a kind reception, and there
is no doubt that iii going up and down
ihe land they will find much senuine
sympathy among the American peonle
wiih [the brave fellows who are fighting
for their independence in South Africa.
But if it be their purpose to stir uo
stcite among the people of the United
States, to get tho people against the gov?
ernment and to involvo this country in
serious difflcultles with Great Britain, they
are presuming too much upon the liber
ality of the government.

Camp, acted as master of ceremonies,
and introduced Mayor Richard Taylor,
who welcomed the visitors on behalf of
the city, and Attorney-General Monta?
gue. on behalf of the Commonwealth.
Ex-Governor Charles T. O'Ferrall wel?
comed tne visiitors to Richmond on behaif
of the Confederate camps. He said in
part: . .
"You have been welcomed to Virginia
bv her distiuguished Attorney General,
and to Richmond by her honored Mayor,
and it is no\v my privilege and pleasure,
as ithe spokesman on this interesting oc?
casion, of R. E. Lee Camp and Pickett
Camp?the two Camps of Confederate
Veterans of this city?to welcome you to
their camp halls and to their join'i fes'tal
board. Knowing, as you do. the metal of
which Confederate Veterans are made,
that their words are their bonds, and that
their souls are as free from deceit -as
vintue is from wrong, Confederate Vete?
rans speak as Ithey think and act as they
feel; there is no di.^simulation in their
character, no duplici'ty in itheir nature
Like all brave men they are frank and
candid, and when they extend the nana
of feilowship, the heart: goes with it.
"L know you will agree with me when
I say that your journey to-day to tne
gates of Richmond was attended with
far less diffieulty and peril than when you
sought to reach them in the days of your
young manhood. Then bayonets far''5'en;
ed and sabres flashed in the. sunlight
shot and shell filled the air; the rush and
roar, torrent and temnest of battle quick
ened everv <pulse and strained every
nerve- passion was ruling and reason
was sleeping. It was war; grim-visaged
"Now the vengeful blade ls sheatheel
long since sheathed; passion has sub
sided?long 'since siibslded; reason nas
awakened-long since awakened; no
alarms startie; no drum beats are neard;
110 bugic -sets the wild echoes flying :
our whole land is in smiles. not in tears;
in gay attire, not in mourning.
"Peace relgns; fraternal fee'ing has been
restored", and reunited we stand as one
people, with one Sag, one Constitution
and one destiny.
"We honor you for your pride, love. de
votion and reverence, and in turn I know
you honor us for ours. Show me a man
who condemns your prido or ours in mar
tial achievements and deeds of daring on
the lield of battle, your love or ours for
tho memory of fallen comrades, and your
reverence or ours for heroic leaders, and I
will show you a man dead to all manly
and ennobling impulses. Yes, gentlemen.
we will continue to erect monuments and
havo our memorial days North and South;
we will continue to feel the glowing of
pride in our victories, one over the other,
as long as we both shall live. and you
will not feel that we are thereby disloyai
to the flag that floats as our national en
sign from the dome of the Capitol of our
republic, and we will not feel that you
are thereby seeking to rekindle the pas
sio'ns engendered by the unfortunate
events of a generation and more ago.
"Veterans of the Army of tha Potomac.
do we need evidence that the people of
this unequalled nation are united ln the
bonds of a lasting Union? If so, let us
call for the mtister rolls of the late war
with Spain and the (volunteer llsts of the
army now in the far-away Philippines.
We will find that this hour the sons of
the North and South are marching shoul
der to shoulder under the inspiring airs of
'Dixie' and 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in
our new Phillppine possessions, and not
oniy bta-ring their breaSts to the m'ssiles of
death, but faeing the perils of disease
whose myriad germs swarm around them."

N. Y., responded, and Gen. G. D. Ri:g
