The State Is of the People.A. T. J.15 paragraphs
THE French are noted for going to extremes. In that country, Catholics are now forbidden to walk in procession on Corpus Christi. L'Univers says they may blame themselves for it. It further says: “We are Catholics, and the vast majority of the French people are Catholics. Our God claims to show his universal sovereignty in the streets once a year. It is his right, and our right. We ask no one to join in our peaceful procession, neither the Jew who crucified him, nor the atheist who denies him. We respect their liberty, but we want them also to respect ours.” It is possible that there is some justification for such a prohibition, but we can scarcely imagine what it would be. To us it would seem that the forbidding of religious processions, is an exhibition of intolerance, unworthy the officers of a great government. If France fears a procession of Roman Catholics she must indeed be in a sad state.1 paragraphs
THE Maryland State Prohibition platform has the following as one of its planks:—2 paragraphs
A CELEBRATED European nobleman says: “The Americans have the best Government, because they are scarcely aware that they have any Government at all.” Commenting upon this, the Christian Advocate says: “When the inhabitants of a country become able to govern themselves they need no other Government. Without self-control among the citizens freedom is impossible.” This is true; but so-called National Reform, which is more or less in favor with the Advocate, is not calculated to develop self-control. National Reform is paternalism, and paternalism in government is utterly destructive of self-government.1 paragraphs

AND now we are to be afflicted by another form of paternalism in government, or at least by another paternal theory. Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull Martin's latest idea of government embraces these cardinal points: Only healthy people shall marry; legislators are to be versed in psychology and pathology; courts are to be presided over by scientists, who will study the mental condition of criminals and prescribe proper treatment; cabinets are to be composed of philosophers, representing every branch of science, whose chief duty will be to look after the internal welfare of the people, see to the sanitary condition of all the factories, dwellings, etc., and find employment for all working people. “Mrs. Martin,” remarks the World, “hopes to live to see this ideal government established, and then die and be known to history as the father of it, as it were.”7 paragraphs

THE Dawn is a new paper published in Boston, “to advocate and explain Christian socialism, and to favor all measures practically looking to a realization of socialism in the name of Christ.” “Christian socialism” is simply another name for so-called National Reform, and the Dawn is simply another National Reform organ, with variations.1 paragraphs
THE Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, having secured an alliance with the National Reform Association, the American Sabbath Union, and the Prohibition Party, is now laying its snares to catch the Salvation Army; but our advice to the Salvation Army is, that if it wishes to continue to do the good work which it has been doing so long, let it diligently refuse to allow itself to be joined in any way with the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.Editor1 paragraphs
THE Convention Reporter, a new monthly paper, is the organ of the Sixth District of the American Sabbath Union, embracing Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Rev. James P. Mills, M. A., District Secretary, is editor and publisher. The Evangel of Rest, issued monthly at Colfax, Iowa, under the management of Rev. Charles R. Hunt, State Secretary of the American Sabbath Union, is another paper the mission of which is to mold public opinion in favor of Sunday laws. It seems to be the settled policy of the so-called Sabbath Union to multiply papers in advocacy of the objects of the society.1 paragraphs
