The Spirit of Republicanism.
By Editor
We praise God for the spirit of equality, the spirit of true republicanism, the spirit of true democracy, which yet exists in America. An evidence of this is given in the Outlook department, in an article, "That Mississippi Criminal Again." Through the unholy traditions of the past, Sunday laws exist in most of the States; but as long as true republicanism survives among the people, these medieval laws are practically inoperative. It is only the imperial spirit, the spirit of caste, of inequality, which makes Sunday laws and other oppressive measures operative. But before the imperial trend strong men are bowing to-day, and, according to the Word and the signs, it will not be long ere it will dominate the land. Many will awake to the deception too late.
