The Referendum.

The demand that is gaining supporters every
where for more democratic form of govern
ment, one that will prevent lobbies and corpora
ton corruption funds from controlling our law
makers, is taking form in the agitation for the
Referendum and Initiative systems that have
been in successful operation i'll Switzerland for
years. The Referendum is simply the right
of the people to vote upon any law proposed by
the Legislature, upon petition Of a small per
cent of the voters.
The Initiative is the right to propose law
independent of the legislature, when certain
per cent OF the voters petition forit, and submit
the same to the people for final decision. Thus
the people could have just laws independent of
any action of the Legislature. This means the
rule of the common people Modern represent
ative government has come to mean the rule of
the heavy financial interests. The loyal Ameri-
can has summed up the results of the system as
follows:
1t will simplify laws.
1t will purify the ballot.
1t will control monopoly.
1t will supplant violence.
1t will broaden manhood.
1t will prevent revolution.
1t will make people think.
1t will accelerate progress.
1t will Danish sectionalism
1t will sever party bondage.
1t will simplify government
1t will reduce taxation to necessity
1t will prevent the bribery of our law makers.
It will establish home rule in all municipali
ties.
1t will restore to the people their natural rights
1t will aid honost representatives i'll serving
the people.
1t will give us government by the people,
for the people, whose corner stone is equal and
exact Justice to all.-Peninsula Farmer.
Do you know why the government is so in
dustrious at this time in building warships?
You may think it is for the purpose of engaging
in war with foreign nations. Nothing is far
ther from the facts. These warships are being
built to kill the blasted fools who are now pay
ing for them They will be used TO collect the
the bonds that Cleveland issued 1t is wise
move upon the part of plutocracy. But we do
not believe they can build warships enough to
make the people pay one dollar them. They
will be repudiated long before they are due, and

Major Fred Funston.

The New York Herald of recent date has a
letter from Cuba which contains the following
reference to Fred Funston
"NIaj. Funston, of Kansas, is Young man
who made trip to Alaska to collect specimens
for the Smithsonian Institute. He landed with
the expedition of Braulio Tena, in company
with several other Americans, who came to
form battery.
"On the death of Maj Osgood during the
siege of Guaimaro, he received the command
of a I2-pounder, and out of no shots he only
missed his markIonce.
"Gen Gomez, in recognition of his excellent
record, made him chief of artillery and at
present he is with Calizto Garcia in the east.''
Large tracts of land under water along the
shores of Long Island have been granted to
some rich summer residents at Oyster Bay, L.
l. The grants include all the best oyster beds
in that vicinity, and as result of the infamous
principle of private property of Gods bounties,
which all human beings must in order to
live, hundreds of oyster-men find themselves
suddenly deprived of the means of gaining a
livelihood, and the town has been called on to
support hundreds of families who are thus being
made into paupers and their self-respect destroy
ed, that the selfish whims of few millionaires
may be satisfied. Rah for the private owner

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

There were tears and smiles In the
Proyider O. Opera House last evening over
the pathetic adventures OF George Harris,
his wife Eliza Uncle Tom and Little Eva,
and the harum- -scaIum antics of Iopsy
and the pcculiarities of Marks. Simon
Legree, the inhuman save dealer, supplied
the element Of hate and the other charuc-
ters, long familiar to the public filled up
the cast Of this newest version or the
slavery days before the war under the title
of Uncle TONS Cabin.
There may be "a good reason for thresh-
ing over this old material in the hope OF
getting public attention, but IL does not
become apparent from anything In the
play. There are no new ideas ana
thought or Imagination are not quickened
in any new direction by the retelling of
the old story In its present form.
To be sure, it is better Uncle Tom than
the olu-fashioned one. which eventu-
ally degeDerated into the cheapest Kind OF

KEYS was great stuff for the juvenile
mind, hut it ran its course.
Out of the shadows of the past comes
this newest version o. the ideas embodied
in Mrs. Stoves story. Its treatment is
along domestic lines. and it emf hasizes and
centralizos the terri bic inhumanity per-
mtted under the slave laws previous TO
the emancipation act.
II also holds up u view the warm
hearted veuple of the South who were not
in sympathy with the methods of Iegtee
even in the hot beds OF sluvelanu.
The play il fun of the religious idea,
and sentiment and pnthos are always in
evidence. The new Uncle Tom is whole
