It went to the bottom of things, laid bare the constitutional bases of our organic national, life, and gave a tren to public thought and so prepared thé way for Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation and the downfall of slaver . It had not a trace or shadowofypartiaanship or aectionalism about it, it was pure patriotism. In another column our subscribers will notice a list of questions ‘on constitutional law bearing upon our vice presidents. These questions have been sent us by the president of the Northwestern Military Anode. my, who has olered prizes to the pupils of our public schools and also to the pupils of the Winnetka schools for the first and second best set of answers. We understand that the superin- tendent proposes in the future to : ofl‘er other similar prizes provided that there is suflicient interest awakened among the pupils of the“ schools of the north shore in the study of civil government to justify him in doing so.‘ The idea strikes us as an exeelleut‘on-e and We sin- _ cerely hope that the teachers of the public schools will do all they can to interest these students in answer- ing these questions, so that the donor of the prizes need not feel that his desire to awaken an interest in the study of gdverum’ent [3 limited to‘a were half dozen.

There has been no little efiort (bade in the house of re- presentatives to bare him admitted to his seat and then expel him, and no doubt some of the congressmen mientiouely believed that he nae entitled to that by oomtit ional law.

At all events, the very large vote in favor of not seating himâ€"-- namely 268 to 50â€"â€"is conclusive evidence that this country does not intend to let men who are openly violating the fundamental principle of the American sense of morality. to hold positions in the na- tional legislature. Any one visiting Washington can see in the lobby of the house of representatives enor- mous rolls of signatures wrapped in the American flag all petitioning that the house of representatives should take the action which they now have. In alfthere are about seven million names, and it is not a little interest- ing that with one or two exceptions the roll from Utah was the largest one among them all. Not a little credit 18 due to the zealous efiorts of Helen Gould and her.eo-w0rkers in securing such a multitude of names. that we are fain to believe that there is enough of wholesome moral senti- mentamong the members of the house of representatives to have given sub- , stantially the same vote independent of any petitions coming from their constituents; Mrs. Edgar S.
