INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

- Suffolk correspondent asks US TO
explain the meaning OF Initiative ana
Referendum as used IN politics" The
referendum" is a system by which the
enactments OF the legislative BODY or a
country are referred 10 the people Tor their
approval or disapprovaL In Virginia our
manner OF amending the Constitution IS
somewhat OF en- illustration OF the re-
ferendum. The Initiative" is system
by which the people Initiate measures
that must be framed into laws by the
legislative power The two features do
not necessarily 60 hand in band, but
both obtain In Switzerland, being known
as "the Referendum and Legislative lni-
tiatlve." The referendum, as established
In Switzerland, is the reference to the
whole body OF voters, whether OF the
confederation OF OF ono OF the cantons,
Of enactments Of their legislative bodies
II is either compulsory or optional Il
IS compulsory when the Constitution or
a canton requires that the legislative
work OF the Grand Council shall be SUB
other cantons certain number OF
electors can demand that an act or the
cantonal legislature shall be voted on
by the whole electorate, and on receiv-
ing their petition the cantonal govern
rnent must lay the matter before the
people. Optional referendum was estab-
llshed for the confederation in 1888, as
respects revision Of the Constitution. and
In ISL, IL was extended to other legisla-
ton. The Federal chambers may call for
a popular vote on any law that they
have passed. and a measure must be sub
nitted 10 the people for acceptance or
rejection when 5000 citizens demand the
referendum. Under the referendum
eys,em many bills passed by the
chambers have been rejected. IT
1891 the people further extended the prin-
clple Of direct democratic government
by aeding to the power OF popular veto
the right OF the Initiative in legislation
on constitutional questions. They passed
q constitutional amendment under which
when 5000 citizens unite in the demand
for any legislation proposed, It be-
comes mandatory upon the chambers &c
frame a bill on the subject, or II the
bill is formulated and presented in the
call. the chambers are compelled 10 ac
cept it and place It before the people fol
their ratification or notification The mi
tiative principle had obtained in severa
OF the cantons prior TO 1891.

The editor Of the Raleigh On. CO News
and Observer telegraphed his paper from
st. Louis on Friday. among other things
the following:
"When Colonel Harry Skinner and Cap
tain Buck Kitchin woke up this morning
they were $50 and $50, respectively, poorer
than when they went to bed. Some one
had robbed them. They suspected Mr.
Corpening, OF Caldwell county VINO mao
been rooming with them. and caused his
arrest. There was no evidence against
him and he"
The story breaks on abruptly, as indi-
Gated, and perhaps 1t Is just as Well

that referred to the better.

MIR. INTERMEDIARY.

we said yesterday that Mr.. Whitney
seems TO be regarded by some OF the
New York Democrats as leader whose
advice must always be followed. In New
York on Friday stocks ruled weak, but
the telegraph explains the condition Of
things in Wall street In the followin g
little paragraph: "Mr. whitney inter
view had Q tendency TO unsettle matters,
as the ex-Secretary OF the Navy aid not
take a cheerful view of the presidential
race. especially so far as the sound
money advocates are concerned" Note,
too. that the street seemed 10 ignore
the heavy deposits of gold for the day."
How does that read? Read It again.
"Mr. Whitney's interview had ten
dency 10 unsettle matters" No wonder
the New Workers look upon him as
wizard.
Mr.. whitney told US IN the interview
which We published on Friday that
"events and the course OF the Republi-
cans are making a third party ticket
Inevitable" lie added that the general
situation was far worse then than II
was ten DAYS ago. However. Mr. Whit
news views have already been given Il
the public, and we will only add that
his duty is to the Democratic party not
the Republican. The sound-money mer
need him 10 lead their forces, but he
cannot afford to betfay the grand OLD
Democratic party. lie must get into the
path which leads TO success, as well as
points the way which duty requires hin
to walk in Super antiques Was should
