The Peoples Party in this section is
gaining every day. Every move
ment of our party brings in new
comrades, crying for free silver.
We do not care 10 fuse with either
of the old parties for one is as bad
as the other.
The Democrats and Republicans
held their primaries in May. Seven
attended the former and four the
latter. 1t looks as though we Pops
must do the work, although our lines
are open. We extend to all q hearty
welcome to those who will place
principle above party TO join US in
the all-important work that lies be-
fore us.

only, saved our psoI l@ froa speoay
destruction. Failing In the elesf
settlements, the vast public don air
furnished them free homes in the
new. Westward they continually
wended their way until the mighty
Pacific forbade further retreat. Now
al last, they are compelled 10 face
the advancing foe. The public lands
have all been taken up. The one
safety valve of the republic Is closed.
Millions Of our citizens have become
tramps, and starvation menaces
many an humble home. The people
are standing at bay and sullenly
brooding over their wrongs. Al
ready the CORY spectre Of revolution
looms far above the western horizon,
and still, upon every avenue of ap-
proach, plutocracy's bloodhounds
are pressing upon them, and still our
well fed makers are doing in
their cushioned seats and prating Of
conservative action: even Of going
back to the days of the fathers and
doing as they did. Well. then, de-
stroy all the railroads. all the labor
saving machinery, and all the large
fortunes IN the country and reduce
our population to three millions, and
you can safely, for a time at least,
do as the fathers did. All, the faith
ers also slept while the enemy sowed
tares. Had they been wise and
watchful they would have promptly
ad jusfed constitutions and laws to
the demands of changing conditions,
and prevented all this trouble. Too
late now for conservative action, No
free silver plaster will heal the terri
ble cancer that is rapidly eating the
life out of the industries of the coun-
try. The radical must come to the
front, and we must fight for all or
nothing. Never mind the insane
cry OF Socialism. All honest gov
ernment is socialistic, but we need
not think of that. 1t cannot be
wrong to follow where Justice leads
the way, and if it leads towards SO
cialism who can help iti We MUST
follow OF deny the Just One.
Now let US be honest. We all pre-
tend to favor the rule of the ajor-
ity. We all know that this NEVER
HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE perm
anently established under govern
ment by representatives. Then why
waste rimei Let US have Direct
Legislation, the Initiative and Re-
ferendum. Let this be the one plank
in our platform. This is the only
possible way to unite all reformers,
and this gained puts everything uu.
der the control of the people, stops
the purchase of legislation, and es
tablishes the rule of the majority.

WHEN DID THEY LIVE
4 Question Concerning the Lake Owen
srs of Pre-Historic Switzerland.

4 Question Concerning the Lake Dven
srs of Pre-Historic Switzerland
One of the most interesting questions
relating TO the early history of Switzer-
land is that of the probable length Of
time that has elasped since the people
called the "Lake-Dwellers" occupied
the curious houses whose remains are
now found there. A fresh examins-
ton Of this question has lately been
undertaken by NJ. Vouga.
The earliest of the lake-dwellers be
ionged to the age of stone, and they
we're succeeded by others who made
weapons and implements of bronze.
II. Vouga thinks that the people who
made the stone implements lived dur
ing only one, or at most two, centuries
on the shores Of the Swiss lakes. and
that for some reason, perhaps because
of an inundation. they suddenly de-
serted their homes.
Then for 1900 years the waters con-
tinued TO deposit a slowly thicSening
layer Of mud upon the sites OF tie aban-
doned villages. At the end OF that time
another people, who had acquired the
art of making bronze, apPearnd upon
the scene, the lakes having in the mean
time, perhaps, sunk 20 their former
level. These people remained there
for two or three centuries, and then IN
their turn disappeared, and another
layer of mud, occupying 1900 years
more in the process OF deposition, ooV-
cred the remains of their dwellings and
the relics of their art and industry

SWISS HOLIDAYS.
Rest from Labor on Thursdays as Wen .,

Sundays.
Since the DAYS OF Calvin Geneva has
been a community strictly Protestant,
as is well known. But what is not sc
well known is that Calvinistic Geneva
has almost as many fete days and pub
lie HOLIDAYS throughout the year as
Roman Catholic Italy itself The church
holidays, it is true, such as Christmas.
Easter, ETC., are observed slightly, If
nt all. In place of these. however, they
have national and caEtonal fetes. gen
rral and local holidays, which stretch
through the whole year. Besides these
there are two holidays of the week,
Sunday and Thursday. If the former IS
a pleasant day, the whole community
turns out, winter and summer, and
spends the day abroad in rural pleasure
or in the more noisy fun and frotic OF
the city. The latter is the weekly school
holiday instead of Saturday, as with us.
II Ia not alone a school holiday, how
ever. Bankers and physicians and some
of the professional men take q part,
if not the whole, of Thursday to escape
from work into the country, or for an
excursion up tho lake 10 Lausanne or
Montreux Many of the workmen also
lay of on this day, 30 that it is not an
uncommon sight to see buildings in
the course of construction in a sus-
pended state of animation on Thurs
day as on Sunday. You know, the
common people of Switzerland take
their pleasure as hardly as do the work
people Of England. There is nothing
of the gayety and lightness- of the
French peasant, who is quite conscious
that he knows how to enjoy himself.
Perhaps, as has so often been alleged,
the cold and dull climate OF both Fig
land and Switzerland may be reason
for the difference; but other factors
must be sought, 1 think, TO fully &C
count for tn. Y Post
