John, one of Gods true noblemen.
Only this week we received card
from Capt. Geo. w, Lloyd, Of New
Rochelle, n. Y, in which we learn
that he was assaulted, few days
ago, by an old-party striker. These
are only few of the many cases
we might mention which occurred
in the North, in which Republicans
were the actors, and for which the
Republican party must be held re-
sponsible. Let Mr.. Olinger take a
second thought, and We are sure he
will change his mind about the mat
ter. The treatment of Gen. Weaver
and party is to be regretted; in
deed, it is difficult to find words to
express our indignation but, their
treatment does not signify that "a
majority, nor even a fair minority,
of the people of Georgia indorse the
action of those hoodlums. We will
have 10 more "solid North, : nor
"sold South. " The common peo-
pie of both sections are awake to
the real condition of affairs in this
nation, and they are determined to
right the wrongs that exist, and
stale eggs, hooting, burning and
hanging in effigy, dynamite explo-
sions nor the spilling of brave, patri-
otto blood will swerve them from
their purpose. If Mr.. Olinger is

Elections.

Vote buying, ballot-box stuffing,
mobs and intimidation seem to have
run riot, not only in the South, but
in the North.
According TO statement publish
in Scribner's Magazine, there are
over 90 900 votes for sale in the lit
tie state of Connecticut.
The price Of votes in New York
has gone up to twelve dollars. -
The independent ticket in Alas
bama, in the recent election; though
it won, was counted out.
The Peoples party committees
from Georgia, Alabama and Indiana
call for federal supervisors to insure
fair lections in November.
General Weaver and Mrs. Lease
are driven out of Georgia by howl
ing mobs of Democrats, and Mr.. Otis
is rotten-egged by Republicans in
Kansas.
Judges from the bench render par
tisan decisions, and legislatures are
the tools of monied combinations.
Both the old parties are rotten to
the core, for both parties buy votes
and influence court decisions. Both
parties use intimidation ; the one,
the shotgun of poverty, and the 9th
er the shotgun of powder and shot.
Both parties court the money power,
and deceive the people with false
promises and specious pretention.
Both parties want the Offices, and
will and do lie and bulldoze to get
them, and when one set of rascals is
turned out, another set of rascals
get in.

THE REFERENDUM.
Political Process to Determine the VIII
of the PeoDle.

W Wv N'lh's
The referendum is political institu
ton which has been tried in Swltzers
land for q long time with fair results
Now Belgium will most likely introduce
it, but in form different from the
Swiss law. In explanation of the law
good authority says; "The essence
of the referendum consists In submit
ting to the direct Votes of the people a
clear md single issue to be answered
by yea or nay The issue to
be thus decided must have been
previously discussed, so as to en-
able the people to Judge of
it, In Switzerland the Legislative
assembly must have discussed and
adopted the proposed law before it can
be submitted to the people. The mode
of submission may be optional or obll-
gatory. If obligatory the laws subject
to the referendum are automatically
referred to the people. II optional the
question is; Who has TO decide wheth-
err law shall be referred? BY the
Swiss federal constitution, at the de-
mand of thirty thousand qualified
voters, or of eight cantons, law has to
be referred. This may be called the
true democratic rule of option. In Bel
GUM the proposal is to vest the right of
option in the king alone. Such an ar
rangement would make the referendum
new kind of veto power, shifting the
right of veto from the king to the peo.
pie. Such an arrangement would be
better than a law empowering the
legislature by two-thirds or three
quarters vote to annul the veto of the
chief magistrate. In the hands of a
king or of his cabinet the right of
option would be as unstable and I'M
reliable in Its working as any power in
the hand of single man. The Illinois
custom of submitting to vote Of the
people certain changes of the law, such
as amendments to the constitution, is
an illustration of what was above called
the obligatory form of the referendum.
King George of Greece has just referred
his quarrel with Delyannis, his former
prime minister, and with the Legislative
assembly, the majority of which went
with Delyannis, to the people, and the
voters of Greece have decided in favor
of the king. This event speaks in favor
of the Belgian proposal of the referen-
dunn at the option of the king."-Cht

Area of the Great Lakes.

Affording cheap waterway to com.
merce, the lakes are serviceable to
many industries; and if we had not that
great chain of inland seas we should
have no Niagara. Considered on other
grounds, there appears to be good
deal of lost space in these huge bodies
of water Lake Superior has 81, 200
squire miles, or four times as much as
the state of New Jersey. Lake Huron
with 23,SOO, and Lake Michigan with
%, $50, are each nearly twice as large as
Maryland. Lake Erie with 0,96O, is
considerably larger, and Lake Ontario
with 7,240 is not very much smaller,
than Massachusetts, And Niagara may
well shake the earth with its thunders,
sustained as they are by these maxi
mum depths in its sources of supply:

WoMAN's OPPORTUNITIES.
She Has Made Herself indispensable to the
Business World.

Business World.
Do the women of to-day realize their
privileges and possibilities, 1t is not
altogether what they have actually ac-
complished, great as that is, but the
opportunities which lie before them and
what the present situation promises
within the next half-ccntury that de-
serve attention.
Thirty years ago, woman in busi-
ness Office would have been looked upon
not only with suspicion but with posi-
tive disapproval. The fact that she was
there would have been an argument for
the worst, put whatever construction
upon it one might. Now the office in
which women are not employed is al
most novelty. There are several rea'
sons for this. At the outset of This new
regime, women were employed princi-
pally because they could be hired for
less money than men. This state of
affairs, although not by any means
complimentary to employers, was new
ertheless woman's opportunity. She
found that she could get work, and
trusted to herself and the future to get
proper social and financial recognition.
| This she has not yet succeeded in Sc
curing, but 1t is only question OF
time. She has made herself indis-
pensable, and has obtained footing
that no future combination of circum-
stances will be able to take from her.
Indeed, she is growing right along into
more and more useful work, and she Is
trustworthy, too, as is evident from the
fact that positions of responsibility for
merly occupied only by men are being
given to her. In one country she is
managing the switches on the railroads,
and this, speak it not aloud, because
the men formerly employed in such POI
sitions are so given to habitual intoXi'
cation that they can not be trusted with
the lives and property of the public.
The woman bookkeeper goes to her
work in the morning clear-headed and
with steady nerves She didn't play
pool last night or spend her time and
money in the saloon or in performing
that semi-artistic and not altogether
creditable operation known as paint
ing the town red" She went home
probably-that is she has home other
own. May be she helped to wash the
dishes; perhaps she cooked the supper;
may be she sewed some buttons on
Tommie's jacket; perhaps she cut out
some new aprons for the little ones;
possibly her best young man came to
see her, if she had one; but it is fair to
say that the widest dissipation she in'
dulged in was dish of ice cream. She
retired at seasonable hour and wax
ened in the morning fit for business.
Suppose she did get up early and
spend an hour or so in necessary house
hold duties. That was very much bet
ter than sleeping until the last minute
to get rid of the effects of last nights
outing, as her brother may have had to
do in order to be presentablc at the

Ceascless Diligence Is a Trait of the Ce-

but it is unquestionably the leading
characteristic which strikes foreigner

his experience lies in the crowded streets
of such cities as Canton or among the
village communities on the northern
plains, the same ceaseless diligence is
observable.

laborers have completed recognizable

The emperor's day begins during a
great portion of the year before day
light, and in every yamun throughout
the land his example is followed. Such
indefatigable industry would under
favorable circumstances produce a
prosperous, well-to-do people, but in
China the population is SO dense that it
is only by this means and by the exer-
else of the strictest economy that the
natives are able to keep body and soul
together. Nothing is wasted by them,
