VIL—His Ions or Govmisnzvr.
When Homilton came to this country.
he waatoo young to. have formed an
ides! government. and his subsequently
developed views must be regarded
a! the result of study sud observs-
tion. Study taught him that pure
democracies had universally failed
and that republics had succeeded
littlo better. Such governments had
been too weak to protect the rights of
citizens: riot and confusion hiid led to
anarchy. and ended in tyranny. Obser-
vation revealed a weak and incongruous
confederation. a rope of sand. ready to
fall in pieces at any time. An examinn‘
tion of the British Constitution disclosed
to him a government that combined
strength with liberty and order. Sliny's
rebellion had caused many to despair of
n permanent republic. and had not it
bitter struggle for independence created
a disliks for everything English. nl’in)‘
more would have favored :i goveruiin-nt
of this British type. It was not niles-
potic monarchy that Hamilton admired.
A more king was not his desire: he
wished a competent government. Op-
posed to every symptom of anarchy. he
turned to a constitutional monarchy as
the most desirable government for a
free people. but he was no fanatic.
Monarchy he knew was an impossi-
bility in America. because of the
republican sentiment of the people. An
exact copy of the British Constitution
being impossible. he desired the closest
approximation possible. For years he
had seen the undue prominence of the
states. lore clearly than most men he
saw the weakness of the Confederation
--tlie wurit of central nutliorityv-nnd at
the early ago «3123. seven years before
the convention. he suggested o-ie gov-
srnmegt in place of a mere body to ad
visa thirteen governments. lie wished
to leave the states only limited power in
local aflaira alone. Power he wished to
remove as far as imssible from the iiiiiss~
es. The object of government being the
security of life, liberty and property. to
him these blessings seemed in greater
danger from the tide of democracy than
from the poWer ofacroivn. His dis-
trust of the ability of any people to gov.
ern themselves was the key-note of his
political creed. From this we mice the
csuse of his iiiifnvorcii proposiiiom in
the convention. l'iidl-iililedly. li::it dis.

Much of Hamilton‘s public life was

much sooner than his superior. and often
received the credit for measures which

Complaint.
Messrs. Hiltors:-Why do not the po-
lice or street commissioner enforce the
ordinance and compel house holders or
owners of property to clear the walks
and gutters of snow. The ublic good
demands it. and the law of t 6 board of
councilmen require it. but gives the
mayor no authority over it. The street
commissioner and police must notil y.
and if the work. which is not very ex-
pensive to the owner or occupant. is not
done, the authority to do it is with the
commissioner only. and he should attend
to it. A single hours‘ inspection would
show the authorities where it is not done
and it fine against the negligent house-
holders would and the nuisance for the

looking at the SENTINEL of the 15th. my
attention was called to the sidewalks.
and particularly to Marshall street,where
the owners are willing to luy their walks.
A good time to tell how much grass you
can cut in a day. is to mention the fact
in niidivinter. So it is in laying wnlks.
Last s ring. March H. the grade stakes
were riven for the curb and walks on

be a dead letter In view of the sciirci~

doubt be a good idea to prohibit the
shooting of them for one year. which
would we them a chance to multiply.
The ObJeClltill to a longer period of pro-
tection Would be. that after the first
year many of the gunners Would not
need the law. but go in and kill them.
and the law to do any good should cn'er
the state. not one county. The trouble
is we are legislated to death already in
this state in ugard to game laws and
the consequence is the sportsmen pay
very little regard to them. and in many
cases the very men who have been in-
strumental in getting the laws passed
nre the first to brake them. and it is an
open question Whether the laws. now in
force are not unconstitutional. Let Mr.
Gillespie and his bill take a back seat.
