Does Away with the Lobby.

One of the chief arguments used by
the opposition against the initiative
and referendum is the claim that it
would keep the people in constant
turmoil discussing and voting on diff
ferent legislative propositions and
that it would afford every crank en-
ployment i'll working up opposition to
Legislative bills.
Experience has proven that such is
not the case. In Switzerland where
the law originated recourse to the
referendum has been had only about
dozen times in the past forty years.
The legislature makes almost all the
laws and they pass unchallenged.
The reason is that the referendum has
completely destroyed the lobby and
the Legislature knows that it dares
not pass vicious legislation, conse-
quently bills which the people are
likely to seriously object to are rarely
passed.
Of course once in while bills are
passed concerning which there are
serious differences in popular opinion
as to their necessity or their wisdom.
That these should be submitted to a
popular vote is both just and right
and why anyone should seriously OBJ
iect to the initiative and referendum

Two Hundred Cent Dollars.

There is considerable fault found
by the pops because wheat is only
fifty cents bushel and yet accord
ing to their figures of two years ago
fifty cents is equal to one hundred
cents under the present gold stand
ard. But of course they are not say
ing anything about past contentious
in this campaign.-Aberdeen Demo

Not So Bad an Idea.

The Herald suggests an amend
ment to the prohibition law which, if
enacted, would make prohibition pro-
hibit. We always have contended
that the patron of pig is no better
than Il pigger. Now, our idea Is to
make the penalty for patronizing a
pig Identical with that for running a
pig.-Nelson County Helald.

Do you agree with the boot logger

that newspaper advertising doesu't

Good Reason Why.

Do you know why the Republicans
are going to win this year again?
Simply because they have some
thing with which to draw the voters,
and because populist promises and
prophecies have been proven worth
less ana wholly without merit

are the kind of wheels that take you
away from home, and bring you back

By the last Australia, we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without any excep-

the highest grade wheels ever shown
here for anything near the price which
we shall sell them-$65 We defy all

S,ipo Craig, Of the Redlands
Cal, Cltrograph, has this to say
about program and directory fakirs
We have a personal acquaintance
with man who prides himself on
his shrewdness In makiug bargains.
He brags on never being taken in
by drummers when buying goods.
And yet this smart business man
seldom or never advertises in any
newspaper, because it "don't pay"
But he is scooped in by every glib
ber-tongued travelling ad- scheme
iakir that comes along. He takes
space in hotel registers, in wall di-
rectories, in combination card
schemes, in the envelope advertis-
ing scheme, and, in fact, most any
old scheme is good enough for him
to bite at. The wise man in busi-
ness selects the newspaper that goes
TO the home; that is carefully read
by the family. Then he takes
good care Of his advertisement,
writing new ones every issue; makes
them readable, and sticks to the pa
pers, leaving outside fakes and
snide schemes severely alone. And
this wise merchant prospers while
the foolish ad-scheme victim grows
poorer and poorer.

PAPER MONEY.

The attack Of the "currency re-
formers" upon the paper money of
the country is almost as much to be
feared as the effort to perpetuate the
gold standard.
The people are satisfied with gov
ernment notes, and they would be
better satisfied if greenbacks were
redeemed in coin. The greenbacks
are safe. But what confidence would
we have in an unsecured banking
currency?
No, thanks. No bank currency
in ours. Let the government issue

ton. Evansville Tribune.
