THE SWISS REFERENDUM.

The workings of the referendum in
Switzerland have for our people pecu-
liar value as an obiect-lesson, for there
are many times in our history when not
only the referendum but the initiative
might have been introduced with bene-
fetal results. The two amendments to
the Swiss federal constitution recently
submitted to popular vote were, first,
to enable the Swiss parliament to pass
general forest laws for the entire
country; second, to enable it to deal with
the aduteration of food. Both were
adopted by large majorities. The first
amendment was justified from the fact
that in some of the more backward can
tons cattle used to be allowed to range
freely and eat the young shoots of the
trees. Opposition to the second was
aroused because of a supposition that it
might open the way to a disguised pro-
tectionism, and, again, because some
believed that more room for expert
ment would be afforded by the separate
cantons than by the general government.
The most striking feature of the referen-
dun movement in Switzerland, however.
aud one with which we should speedily
be brought face to face in this country,
is that about two.thirds of the whole
electorate abstained from voting. and
this in spite of the law in some cantons
making voting compulsory. A cor
respondent of the London Speaker
writes that hardly more than ope-sixth
recorded their votes in the canton of
Geneva. He ascribes this abstention to
the fact that the vote was taken on a
Sunday in the summer, and the Swiss
likes to begin his holiday with the dawn.

LOCAL ADVERTISING FOR GRocERs.
One Mans Experience Which IShouldJ BE
All Mems Light.

!
One of the directors of the Minnesota
| Grocers' and Retail Merchants associa-
ton, at the directors meeting recently,
brought out an idea that is of value to
the grocer seeking to enlarge his trade
and fortlfy it against the inroads of the
mail trade of the city houses. This man
has been a grocer in thrifty town of
Southern Minnesota for over fifteen
years. The first week his store was
opened in that town the paper published
there had his advertisement in it, and
every week since with insignificant ex-
ceptions, the copy for that advertisement
has been changed. lie does not catch
trade because of items that he sells at
less than cost. lie has never done this
kind of business. He advertises prices
and advertises new things, and, further
more, he sees to it that the things he
advertises are on hand, and lust as he
advertises them.
He says he believes in advertising in
papers outside of his town. and the
proof of this is to be seen in files Of
papers published in neighboring towns
These outside papers do not bring HIM as
much trade as does his own town paper,
but he finds they pay for the investment,
aud he keeps up the investment. He
sees to it that he gets his share of read.
ing notices, and that his advertising
bills are promptly paid. The advertiser
who looks after his business In this fash
ion soon gets near the heart of the pub
Usher, and the reading matter columns
are open to him provided he shows as
much sense in asking for free notices as
he does in other matters. This man has
not the slightest fear of the competition
of the department store or of the supply
house. He knows he need not fear them.
for he has beaten them so far as his trade
is concerned. This is the surest defense
any merchant can have. An army in the
field is worth two in Notifications. So
one hustling merchant is worth more
than two merchants who call on their
association to build wall of defense
about them, behind which they may sit
aud count their profits Commercial

Kidney Trouble Cured.
An Ohio Chemist Discovers a
Remedy That Promises to End
Terror of Bright'S Disease.

Since DR.. Richard Bright first described
Brghts disease in lse1 the medical world
has given more ana more attention to the
study OF the kidneys as Il source of disease
and have demonstrated peyOnd doubt that
they are the direct cause of many of the ills
of mankind.
Nineteenth century methods of living are
well calculated to change the functions of
these delicate organs ana few men toCay can
be absolutely certain that their kidneys arc
in perfectly normal condition. \ tinge of
pain in the back is claSscd under that broad
title OF "cOld," while the duh ache that
creeps through the bones is blamed on the
weather or allowed To pass UNDECIDED. This
in reality, is natures way of sounding the
tii - warning that something is going wrong
with tn internal mechanism and wise in
deed is the man who needs it.
PhN slcians have long been in dispute as to
the best means OF treating diseases of the
kidneys. The best theories being so often
upset by dire failure that il seemed almost
a. though AN infallible remedy would never
be discovered.
Among the most earnest workers in this
field has been John Morrow, an eminent
chemist Of springfield, ohio, whose expert
ence OF nineteen years gave him ample OPP
portunlty Tor studying kidney trouble in all
Its phases The result of his research is a
new combination OF remedies which he has
prepared IN yellow IA ct form. under the
name OF kidneoids. While almost entirely
new to the lueuical world Morrow Kidneoids
have produced such marvellous results that
there seems little reason Tor doubling that he
has discovered the remedy 50 long sought
for by eminent ply sicians and tnat time worn
ideas rs to the most efficient method OF treat
ing the kidneys will soon be obsolete.
In our last issue we ammo need that one OF
the largest dug concerns in the United

Morrow's kidneoids. We are now informed
by the di>cOVerer of this most peculiar

MILITARY LEAGUE FORMED.
Guards, Chathams and Cadets TO
Play Indoor Rail.

A military indoor base ball league was
organized yesterday. The captains and
managers of the Guards, the Chathams
the Savannah Cadets and the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry's teams compose the
league.
Mr.. Walter P. OFT of the Guards was
elected president and Mr.. Armand Chap
eau of the Chathams vas elected secretary
and treasurer.
Although there were four commands
represented at the meeting, only three,
the Guards. the Cadets and the Chat
hams, became members of the league. 1t
became apparent, after some discussion,
that the formation of a fOur-team league
would be impracticable, so the Ogie-
thorpes volunteered to withdraw. The
representatives of this company decided
1t would be the proper thing for them to
DO, as theirs had been the last team or
ganized, and the others had taken the in
itatory steps towards the reorganization
of the league.
The schedule of games that will be
played by the three teams has not yet
been arranged. 1t Is very probable that
the first however will be played Jan. u,
and the remaining eight. nine being the
number decided upon for the season, will
take place on recurring Wednesday
nights. The captains of the three teams
viii soon meet to draw up the schedule.
All VI the games NlI ne pay ca at tAiS
Guards hall. This is large enough TO al
ford all the room necessary for the game,
and, at the same time to accommodate
some three or four hundred spectators.
Wire screenings have been arranged for
the protection of the spectators, and also
of the electric lights. An ad-
mission fee of 10 cents will
be charged to all games. This is not on
account of the desire of the young men
to make anything personally out
of them. Any proceeds above ex-
penses will, it was decided, be
turned over to the commands from
which the teams are organized. II was
agreed that the winning team shall take
20 per cent. of ali the receipts and that
the balance shall be divided equally among
the three.
The meeting decided to adopt the Spald-
ing bah for the series. though this was
after considerable discussion of the mer-
its Of all kinds of base balls. 1t was also
suggested, and the suggestion was regard
ed as a good one. that each of the teams
be at liberty to meet any other team.
There are others already in existence and,
as the fever seems to have taken hold of
the young men, there will doubtless be
others formed. Some of the other military
commands will probably organize 1t is
said the Hussars have taken steps to get
a team together.
Attractive uniforms for the teams will
be ordered. In their designs the idea will
be to follow as closely as possible the uni
forms of the respective commands.
The formation of the league is regarded
by the military men with great favor.
They believe it will have the effect of add
ing interest to the organizations and unite
them more closely.

THEY FAvoR VERTICAL WRITING
Little Doubt the Teachers Will Vote
For Its Adoption.

Specimens of work in vertical writing

TENS are now 10 be seen on the lon4Esble
in the office Of Supt. Ashmore of the pub
lie schools, They were left
with supt Ashmore by agents
sent to him by the publishing houses that
get them out. They are for the inspection
of the teachers, whose judgment as to the
merits of vertical writing, its advantages
over the inclined system, if any, and the
best of the several systems. is desired by
the board of education.
1t is the wish of the board TO introduce
the vertical style of writing into the
schools in event the teachers are favorable
to It, If they report that the new system
has advantages, in their opinion, over the
present system, the latter will, in all prob
ability, be discarded in favor of the FORM

Several teachers were discussing the YER

fee of the superintendent, and it was de-
cided that they get together for q careful
investigation of the merits of the system
before the general meeting of teachers is
he'd. This meeting will be on Jan. s,

invited to set forth the advantages of

There is no doubt that a great many
teachers favor the vertical system, and
will urge its adoption. 1t has already
been tried in some OF The classes with very
good results, 1T is said. one claim made
for ID is greater speed than may be at

The situation wos thoroughly dis
cussed in all phases and the
best methods were decided on to mold the

Probably the most important step taken
was that policemen will be re-

instead of eight hours, as is the case at
present BY this increased time
the department is enabled to have thirty
five men on the street at all times which
will insure better police surveillance This
tweive-hour watch will be continued
throughout the entire of the holiday sea-

particularly anxious to take such steps as
would insure protection to the wharves
which would be in danger If the promis-

-FOUR PLEADED GUILTY.
Negroes Charged with Burglary Get
on With IA Chain-gang Sentence.

OF With n Chain-gang Sentence.
The superior court had light day of 1t
Yesterday. There were few criminal cases
on the docket, and all the defendants
pleaded guilty. To-day, however, may be
one of more interest, as William Smith,
colored, is to be tried for murder. Smith
killed another negro here several years
ago and made his escape. He was caught
a few weeks ago in Jacksonville and
brought back to Savannah. The case has
been pending against him for sometime,
but il is likely the trial will be concluded
to-day.
George Turner, William McComb and ].
Fl. Thomas were indicted in one bill on
the charge Of burglary, the allegation be-
ing that on Sept. q they made a felonious
attempt to break into the stOrehouse of
Randolph Kirkland and steal. Thomas
and Turner were in court, but McComb
was not. They first held out that they
were innocent, and were going to trial,
but thought better Of the matter after
wards and entered a plea of guilty. as for
a misdemeanor. Judge Falligant SEN
fenced each of them TO pay a fine of 500
and costs or spend twelve months on the
chain-gang.
A similar proceeding was had in the
case of Ishmael Bryan and Tom Grant
charged with burglary, it being alleged
that they broke into the residence of
Mamie KEENAN, on Nov. %. Both of them
pleaded guilty, as for a misdemeauor, and
each was fined 800 and costs or twelve
months on the chain-gang.
An extraordinary motion for a new trial
in the case of Simon ONell, who. with
Maurice Sullivan, was convicted of vol
untary manslaughter and sentenced to
spend fifteen years in the penitentiary,
was to have been argued before Judge
Faligant, on the ground of newly discov-
cred evidence. BY agreement, however,
the argument went over until this after
noon. IL is claimed that new evidence
has been discovered in the case, going to
show that o Neil was not guilty, and had
nothing to do with the killing.
