REFERENDUM IN SWITZERLAND
The People One of the Most Conserva'
tive of Forces.

The People One of the Most Conserva-
tive of Forces.
The Swiss people, az consulted by the
referendum. has again proved itself one
of the most conservative Of forces, says
the London Daily News 1t has re-
jected, by 100000 to 100000, the pro-
posal to establish d federal national
bank. The voting has followed the law
of these national consultations. The
parts are extremely suspicious of the
whole; the voters rarely fail to make
short work of all proposals to increase
the federal power. Their first impulse,
and usually the last, is to say NO
OF twenty-seyen laws referred down to
a recent period fifteen were vetoed and
only twelve approved. This probably
accounts for Mr.. Balfour's known par
TALLY for the measure. The refercn-
dunn made it's first appearance in the
federal constitution in 1874. 1t is in
the "facultative" form; that is to say,
any federal law and all non-urgent fed
eral resolutions must be submitted to a
popular vote if a petition to hat effect
is signed by 10000 qualified voters or
by eight cantons. The late Prof. Free
man had a great kindness for this
method of consulting the popular jucg-
ment and he saw in it a development Of
the Landesgemeinde, which is the Swiss
equivalent of the New England town
meeting. 1t is naturally better suited
to small communities than to large
ones. The Swiss democracy, in one OF
it's aspects, is but a glorified town meet
ing. Mr.. Freedom was converted tt
the referendum by a belief that i
would give us a vote on the real merits
of a question, and lot merely on it'
relation to the fortunes of a party Of
of a minister, and he thought that Mr.
Bryce had exaggerated the dificultie
of its application to our own more com
pick political society. At n time i
was a favorite device of the conserva
!, tive party for dishing home rule. MI
Goodwin Smith thinks it would chez
the corruption in Canadian polite.
The Swiss are SO satisfied with it tina
j. they have it in the cantonal as well a
in the federal form. Some Of the cas-
ern states of the American union hav
made the referendum a plank" i
their state platforms, but the movemer
has made no great Roadway in til
union at large. 1t is probably tn;
y the methods of American electionee,
ing would soon deprive it of the sin
z, plicity and directness of operate
which it has in Switzerland.

The Age Of Niagara.

DR.. Spencer, in a recent publication
on Niagara, says that, in his opinion,
the Niagara river was formed 80 1000
years ago. and that 1000 years later
the falls were in existence-for some
1920 years their height was about 200
feet. He says the drainage of the lakes
first flowed through the Niagara gorge
1900 years ago, and that the water in
Lake Ontario first rose to it's present
level 5000 years ago. Prof. Lyall es-
t'mated the Niagara rivers age at 3d.
600 years.

in charge of the Lindley hospital TO
three months now. Lindley was a ga.
little town, with a military station
close by, half a dozen churches,

not even seen her as yet.

he said, b%rusquely.
Miss Dorella Durande did not under
stand this in the least. She was a pre-
ty, sweet natured young girl, who like
all the world, and expected all tn
world to like her. And at last sh
reluctantly made up her mind that D
Dane did not want to cultivate her al
quaintance.
