DEMOCRATIC SILENCE.

Why don't the Democratic papers OF
the country say something. Their
readers must be aweary of the dumb
silence of these organs. No word Of hope
can be found in the dreary waste of their
columns. Hill don't agree with Cleve-
land ror Cleveland with congress, vet
the Democratic organ seems to find moth
to commend or defend. They have even
ceased to cuckoo. If neither congress,
Cleveland nor Hill are right, then some
one of them or all Of them must tie
wrong, which being true, the oppor-
tunity to kick remains open to these
silent organs. The contemplation of the
accommodations of woes brought to the
country by the administration seems to
have paralyzed the editors of these jour-
mails from one end of the country to the
other. There is that obscure souLherner,
Hoke Smith insulting and harassing
the crippled and defenseless defenders of
the country, his chief forcing home his

A COLONY OF MERCY.

| From the London News,
Skipping's farm Is 10 De the site OF
the first English epileptic settlement
a settlement, that Is, whose patients
will find in work of some sort the main
cure. or alienation at least, for their
ailments Of mind and body. The idea
of such a settlement is by no means
new. The first settlement or colony
of the kind in Europe. or in the world,
was founded at Gadderbaum, near
Bielefeld, in Westphalia, more than
| twenty years ago. Skipping's farm
colony will be esta blishsd TO some ex-
| tent on the German model. The gen.
eral purpose of the national society
may be described. in Sir James Crich-
ton Brownies words. as "the establish
ment Of colonies which will be busy
little hives of industry. with two sorts
of produots-the fruits OF the earth
And manufactured articles for sale and
mental eortentInent and improved
health. which are beyond all price"
1t will be unnecessary to begin the
colony on a grand scale A colony Of
this kind. TO be at all successful,

sources-shonld be nearly self-support-

THE REFERENDUM.

The referendum is coming among
other innovations which the exigencies
OF new era are bringing to republican
governments. Law making will be
given over into the hands of the people,
or no law, other than mere appropri-
atoms and mere retinues, of legislative
body will DE effective until a ma jority of
the people have by direct vote approved
of Its provisions. In short, as for the
approving and vetoing of enactments,
the people and not the chief executive
will say yes or no. Massachusetts will
probably be- the first state 10 make trial
of the referendum principle. The legis-
lature OF that state, by an almost unan-
imous vote, have declared in favor of
submitting the necessary constitutional
amendment to the people. AS soon as
the question is submitted in that state it
will become one of general discussion
throughout the country. In the mean
time, If the concencus of opinion should
provo favorable, other states will RAPIDLY
adept the same measure The enact
ment of laws under the referendum may
seem somewhat tedious process, but it
IS safe one. There is too much law
making, anyhow. Nine-teuths of all
the laws on the statute books are of an
especial and not general nature. Under
the new system special laws would be
the exception and the people would be
responsible, not individuals or parties.
