"the mammy of &tate rights, "it it were true that the. rights not delegated to tbe United States,, the fights "reserved to. the States," bad ceased to be alive, had been, iii fact, mummified, the government established by and under our fundamental If w, the more per fuet anion, which supplanted the confederation about 115 year? ago, would have been absolutely destroyed. " fiut there is no truth fn that stfeef. The elimination of the claimed right of a State to se C6de from the Union, so far from having destroyed or mummified State rights, has made that doc trine acceptable to conservative and patriotic' Citizens in all sec t ail parties. It is b? a solitary smirch lism. -fh> people of the ineatk>are *S eensiMne as their^coo^patrlotS; of tbe .south on this subject. We recall the significant fact that Pennsylva nia made an indignant protest to the national government not many years ago because a com pany of federal soldiers or ma rines i had . been seen on the streets on an election day. The affront to Pennsylvania dignity -was accidental, but the vehe ment. resentment was decidedly intentional. "Tljenotio* that a firm adhe rence to the rights of States and a readiness to protest against encroachments thereon by the central authority, is incompati ble with patriotism is absurd. The truest lover of his cojntry is he who, while duly and, sin cerely respecting the sovereign ty of the nation, and ready to take np arms in defense of it, does not forget that each of the States which constitute the great republic has a sovereignty of its own, as indisputable as that of the nation. Whatever of progress has been made toward the ihummiyfying of State rights is chargeable to the Republican party, in the main, fot that party has, with bat slight hindrances, controlled the country, for 48 years. There has Seen a luxurious growth of ^paternalism, and that spirit ap pears to be rampant in the capi tal just now. The idea that the central government is bound to take a fatherly ? an almost* moth ? erly ? care of the people is in the ascendant. The advocates of that idea get up one scheme af . ter another that offers the temp tation of abundant pork to their opponents, and such bribes some - times win votes. But we think the fever has run its course, that the patient's pulse, respiration and ^ temperature will soon bo normal, and that an entire re covery may be confidently looked for. This belief and hope are based on our confidence in the honesty, intelligence patri otism of the people. In a New Role. In view of? the violent utter, anoes in the west, when he said that a race war was imminent in the south, it must require un limited serve on Senator Till man's part to adversely crittefsfei the newspapers of this State for ailing attention to the reign of ' lawlessness and murder. ' When he was spouting fire on that spectacular trip this newspaper declared that Senator Tillman .h. *mw uu n tng ? <Um of imtni grants to this State by his alarm ing speeches. The sane opla ion ^was held by otherr. We oalled attention to tbefaet that he was placing: obstacles in the way of the tn^igntioD societies and the Industrial departmenta of railroads, tad this sane view was held bf the. Manufacturers' Record at Baltimore, which has don> sa maen far: the develop men toff the Booth. The senior senator from South Carolina now eomea forth in a new role and attacks the press for preaching against crime. He sajps tint we will frighten away the immigrants. Must we keep our month shut, permitting the murderoua bands to sweep and rale the State,:' simply to bring in a few people? Murders are committed in every State, but race wars are not an every -day occurence. Senator Tillman hoisted the red flag of danger, and talked about the notorious conditions because be was -paid so much for every lecture. But the press has voiced the senti ment of the decent, law-abiding people la protesting against the disgrace of the commonwealth, and it did 1 so, ? believing that it was performing a public service, and not because there was a re ward. The bad record has been growing worse since the dispen sary law was first put into effect. It has likewise been due. to the weak politicians who have been elected to public offices, and nearly all of these men are dis ciples of Tillmaa. So when we think of these things, there is not much credit for our distin guished statesman, and few of us will have any faith in bis sin cerity when we remember that he first made speeches which were accepted by the immigrants as a warning to keep away from South Carolina. ?
