eve, the people, can never reform our ma
tional principles of law to standard on the
heaven-born principles of our immortal Jeffer-
son, viz: Equal rights for all; no favors to any,
state, county, town company, individual, ofhcial
or private, richest or poorest, black or white,
until we establish standard laws to rule and
regulate all questions the initiative and reter-
endum, as is now done in Switzerland, and has
been for more than four hundred years past. 1t
is mode of government wholly OIL Jefersonlan
principles Its inestimable glory lies in placing
the law-sanctioning power in the vote of the
people, as final law, after consideration by the
people, and debate in congress, showing reason
for and against, before being submitted to final
vote by the people. AS see it, it will DO more
than anything else to tear down financial tyran-
nv in all its accursed principles of bank con-
traction and expansion, government bonds and
all villainous financial schemes to crush labor.
NV reasons are that bribery will come to an end
in our legislative halls. Their voting will be
done; also, the people will pay the legislators
for what they do for the country's welfare, and
then there will be no bank or government bonds
to legislate for, nor demonetization of silver to
cost England's bankers $5oo,ooo in order to
bribe congress to pass similar bill"
IT is really amusing to notice the similarity
in names of the bills introduced by the Repub-
licans this session with those offered by Pop
ulists but defeated by some of the same gang
two years ago. Then, all these bills were Pop
Mist vagaries" Unconstitutional" and "revo-
lutionary." Now, they go through the Repub-
lican house with whirl, and questions OF
constitutionality are not even mooted. Ihey
defeated the will of the people in order to get
chance, as they now have, to steal Populst
thunder. They are daily committing grand
larceny, but if the people are to be benehted
and the majority satisfied, we will move to
quash the information. Our partisanism shall
not smother Our patriotism They are doing 1t
through ignorance, to spite the Pops; but the
latter can stand it if the people are only relieved
of their unjust burdens.-Alliance News.

FRANCES E. WILLARD is a socialist. Next
week, we shall re-publish a paper written by
her, which was published in the Union Signal
of the 18th inst. The article is entitled, "Only
the Golden Rule Can Bring the Golden Age.
AN effort was made by the Republicans IN the
legislature to do away with the metropolitan
police, but the Populist senate defeated the
movement.
CONGRESS is still busy-killing time.
