Cleveland rain Dcdicy
y Swiss Municipal Reform.

INNddrtpfid LCiQer.
The city government of Haverhll Mass
| has formally petitoned the Legislature to
| amend the city's charter so that it may
apply the Swiss initiative and referendum
system to local legislation. AS Havcrhill
is the first city in this country which is
about to adopt the system, and as the re-
publican and democratic parties of Massa-
chusetts have endorsed the system as a
promising method of reforming municipal
government, the pioneer experiment in this
line will attract attention
The Hayerhill plan provides that all
ordinances passed by the council shall be
classified as urgent" and "non-urgent."
The urgent ordinances are those referring
to public health and peace and those which
appropriate funds in any department greater
than the average sum appropriated for the
preceding three years in that department.
Such measures do not fall within the opera
tion of the referendum and take effect at
once.
All other ordinances are "non-urgent"
and become operative in thirty days, unless
in the meantime, a petition, signed by Is
per cent of the voters of the city who voted
at the preceding annual election shall be
filed with the city clerk asking for the sub
mission of the measure to popular vote for
adoption or rejection. If adopted it is
thereafter municipal law. The Australian
voting system is in use in Massachusetts
and the title of the proposed measure will
be inserted in the official ballot. The mayor
cannot veto measure thus submitted, and
he is thus shorn of an ancient prerogative
To avoid frequent special elections all the
non-urgent ordinances are voted upon at the
annual election. An ordinance passed by
the council Immediately after the annual
election must therefore await the action of
the people for entire year. This
would be a tardy method of municipal
legislation for great city. In the
course of a year the ordinances passed by
the councils of city like Philadelphia would
accumulate until their titles would swell the
size of the official ballot to very unwieldy
dimensions while numerous special elections
to dispose of ordinances would entail vast ex-
pense.
Harverhill has a population of about 3O,-
900. The referendum may work satisfac-
torily in a town of that size, but its sue
cess there would not justify it's introduce
tion in the greater city communities. AS a
phase of municipal reform the system de-
serves a trial under the most favorable con-
ditlons The great parties in one of our most
enlightened and progressive states have com
mitted themselves to the adoption of the
plan, and that of itself may win favor for 1t
in other parts of the country.

Congressman Bryan's proposed bill for in
creasing the penalties for embezzlement of
national bank funds provides that persons
arrested under that act shall receive no other
or better treatment or greater privileges
while in custody than is accorded to persons
in custody for the violation of other laws of
the United States. Mr.. Bryan evidently as
sumes that existing laws authorize greater
privileges to such prisoners than is allowed
other prisoners pending or after conviction.
There is no color of legal authority for dis
elimination between prisoners accused of vio-
lating different laws of the United States.
Although such privileges were enjoyed by
Bank Wrecker Mosher, this provision is
entirely superfluous wherever the officials
perform their duties.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

The election in Pennsylvania on Tuesday
resulted as was expected, though some had
thought that the majority for the repub,
lcan congressman-at-large,G Galusha A. Grow
would be even larger than it is. 1t was
predicted that the veteran statesman would
be chosen by vote exceeding that of his
democratic competitor by not less than 2O0,-
900, and it must be admitted that there
was reason in the prevailing conditions for
such an opinion. Pennsylvania has suffered
severely from the business depression. Her
vast industries have been seriously crippled
and tens of thousands of her wage earners
thrown out of employment. Capital has suf-
fered heavy losses as we'll as labor. Perhaps
no state in the union has had a harder ex-
perence, il so hard. and the situation has
but very little improved from the worst.
Destitution prevails in the larger cities of
the state to an alarming extent making an
extraordinary demand upon private charity
and public benehcence. The outlook, If less
dark than few months ago, is still gloomy
for the great industries of Pennsylvania
and yet the appeals of her working people
have fallen upon deaf ears at Washington.
Under these circumstances it was not un-
natural to expect republican majority on
last Tuesday not only unprecedented in the
history of Pennsylvania, but exceeding any
ever given for an elective office in any state
of the union. That this expectation was not
fully realized is by no means ineXplicabe
The season undoubtedly kept many. repub-
lican voters from the polls, confidence in
an overwhelming majority for the republican
candidate deferred others from voting, and
some were perhaps influenced by the thought
that the result would have no effect at Wash
ington. 1t is not at all unreasonable 10 as
sumo that at least $4,000 voters who would
have cast their votes for Mr.. Grow remained
away from the polls for one of the reasons
cited, But the republican candidates major
ity, which win approximate 10000 is the
largest ever given in Pennsylvania and is
quite double what the democrats professed
to believe possible before the election. 1t
shows that since last November there has
been an accession to the republican vote in
that state of about $4,000. The result of last
falls election was supposed by many to es-
tablsh the high-water mark Of republican
achievement in the Keystone state, but 1t is
now apparent that those who assumed this to
be the case had not fully measured the popu-
lar discomfort with the democratic economic

Midwinter fair marks distinctive advance

This Is the one hundred and sixty-second
anniversary of the birthday of George Wash
ington. The natal day of the Father of
His Country" is no longer generally cele-
brated, as 1t was thirty years ago. and we
have not observed that preparation has
been made anywhere for it's popular observ-
ance this year. Associations will meet
to do honor to the memory of the illustrl-
GUS patriot and in many Of the schools
throughout the land there will be commem-
orative exercises, but no public demonstra-
tions. 1t must not be Inferred however,
from the fact that the old method of cele-
brating Washington's birthday has become
almost obsolete that the American people
are less appreciative now than formerly of
that incomparably illustrlous character, or
that they do not feel as profound rever-
ence for the lofty patriotism and the un-
equalled civic example of George Washing
ton as was felt by the people of preceding
generations. The memory of that su-
premely great man is cherished by every
true American of today as fondly as ever
in the past and it will continue to be cher
