Initiative and Hseferendum.

The more conservative of the
PopuIist party wonld like to elm
mate from their platforms nearly
everything but the initiative and
referendum IN legislation, believing
With these features established as
parts of our public polity, all other
beneficial reforms would follow.
The initiative mea,s that all
laws originate with the people

semblages i'll which all the people.
may participate, and .sre'afterwards
passed by the Legislature.
The referendum means that all
laws passed " the Legislature shall
be reft rred to the people to bp APP
proved or disapproyed by vote at
elections.
There can hardly he doubt but
this method Of passing laws has
been wonderfully beneficial in the
small republic of Switzerland, a.
country composed of % cantons.
corresponding in some respects to
our states, but not much larger
than our counties, i'll that they
each make laws not in conflict with
those Of the republic. All laws,
state and national, are now made
in that country by Che initiative
and referendum.
The initiative is common In
township aff',irs in New England
and in parts of several of the west
ern states, and it is growing in
favor.
In all states but one (Maryland)
the referendum is practiced to a
limited extent.
Perhaps the most appalling .ef-
fects of applying the initiative and
referendum, or the latter alone,
would be to destroy the occupation
of boodlers in the legislature. The
business of the boodler and boodlee
would both be gone under sach
methods of obtaining laws. They
would throw out Of employment a
large and industrious element of
our population-especially in and
about the larger cities. For few
years the alms-houses and jails
might have to be enlarged.

A new departure has been made
in France in the employment OF
glass bricks for building purposes
The bricks are hollow, being blown
like bottles, and are given the
shape that is most readily laid
cubic, hoxagonal or otherwise, in
the particular style of the building
for which they are intended. They
are made se;ure by the use Of a
bituminous cement, with a base of
asphalt. A singular feature Of
these bricks is that they do away
with the necessity of windows.
They are good insulators of humid
ity and noise, giving protection
against both cold and heat, and by
the modifica tion of their form and
color they can be made to har-
monize readily with the decorations
of any building. They are used
largely in meat markets in prefer
ence to marble, and they are found
especially adapted for bath halls
hot houses, hospitals, refrigeratine
establishments, and, in fact, al
buildings in which an absence O.

STEuBENvILLE, O., Aug. 81. -

STEuBENv1LLE, O., Aug. 2l. A
queer state of affairs as the result
of religious revival is reported
from Hammondsville, this county,
where holy meetings have been
conducted for some time. The
people are worked up to a high
pitch of excitement and seven
women have left their husbands
because they would not join the
church. The husband of one OF
these women waylaid the evangelist
and would have thrashed him had
not others interfered. One woman
who had become mentally un-
balanced persists in singing and
preaching on the streets until she
is stopped. There is talk of calling
public meeting to have the meet
ings stopped.

Suggestions on Reservoir
Sites.

| HI M. Porter, widely known all
over the west, makes new sugges-
ton in the Denver News touching
. subject of great Importance to
the arid lands regins. He says: "If
the general government would enact
o law at onoe to the effect that an
appropriation be made of 5000, O,O0Q
or $4,000 to each of the ten states
and territories lying in the arid
lSslb on the headwaters of the
Columbia, Colorado, Arkansas, Rio
Grande, Platte and Missouri rivers,
TO pay The expenses of locating
reservoirs by a commission ap-
pointed by said law, composed of
the governor, sup, eme judges and
the surveyor general of each Of
such states and territories, whose
duty it shall be, on application of
any individual or corporation, to
survey and locate a reservoir site
on the, headWaters of the aforesaid
rivers and regulate all matters per-
tanning to the carrying out of the
said law in the interests of the in
dividual or corporation, the state
or territory or the general govern
ment. according to the enactments
of law which should give to the
party agreeing to build and main
tain such reservoir in substantial
manner, according to the require
ments of said commission, the land
upon which the water, culverts,
entertainments, etc would rest, free
of cost, so long as the reservoirs
would remain, and allow the parties
to buy one-half the land they
would engage to irrigate at the
minimum sum of $3.50 per acre,
the other half to be sold by the
government to other parties, to
withdraw for reasonable time
such land from the market until
such reservoir could reasonably be
built, such lands withdrawn to be
alternate sections, and also to give
the right Of way to build bitches
leading to such lands from said
reservoirs. Thousands OF such
places exist where water can be
stored on any stream where now a
narrow belt of land is cultivated
and watered by irrigation, and ten
times the amount could be culti-
waited if all the flood water were
held back and stored at the head
waters of every tributary of the
above rivers; there are hundreds of
such where land only fit for grazing
and worth 80 cents to $l per acre
can be reclaimed, cultivated in
grain, grasses and fruits, and made
worth from $40 to 500 per acre. ,

The American Lawyer, a legal
journal published in New York
City, tells Of a lawyer of that city
who securedaa fee Of $3.50, 900; of
another who was paid $25O,OOO for
his service on a celebrated case
while other fees are mentioned run
ming from $4,000 to 100000

but by avoiding, litigation. In
fact, it is apparent that more money

settle cases out of court than by

Bit By a Rather.

Last night about 9 o'clock the
9-year-old son of Mr.. Jacob Weber,
superintendent of the county poor
house, was severely bitten on one
foot by rattlesnake, in his room,
just as he was retiring. The lad
carried no light to the room and
evidently stepped barefoot upon
the snake, which had somehow
managed to get into the house.
Doctors from the city were sum-
moned and applied remedies, and
the child is much relieved today.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Albert
Friedrich, living on West Marshall
street, discovered a RATHER under
the house. The snake was after
ward killed.
