talk of reform through changing the per-
sonnet of any branch of the government.
Nor would anv reform be permanent that
would come through a change of party
alone. The only true remedy is in chang
ing the system. There is nothing revo-
lutionary in going to the system of direct
legislation. II is only making this gov
eminent what it was intended to be from
the beginnings government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people.
Nor is that system new. 1t has been in
vogue in Switzerland for many years I'M

satisfactory as the years roll on. 1t does
not overthrow our representative system

lively have been called back under the

i've bribery would cease, as the power to
deliver the goods purchased would be
lost. Our best men would he willing to

their reputation would be smirched would
be gone. while the prospect tor dishonest
men making money by betraving their
constituents would be too poor to induce
that class to try.

proposition to amend the constitution Of
the state the principle of the referendum
is put into full force, and the right to de
eide on the merits or dement's OF the
amendment so proposed is held rs a sa-
cred right by all the people. II they

success brought about by the allied forces
of those three parties.

LINCOLN VS.. MCKINLEY.

Tuesdays Oregonisn saws editorially:
President Mckinley lacks the Lincoln
quality of imagination. He cannot put
himself readily 10 the place ef other
men"
That is not the only Lincoln quality
President Mckinley is lacking. The
possession Of q great, big, generous heart,
that was constantly expanded with sym
psthy for the oppressed. A mind so
broad that it conld reach out and grasp
the needs of all the people. A nervous
system 80 finely organized that it could
feel the very pulse beats of the comr on
people over all this broad land from
Maine to Texas and from Florida to
Washington. Lincoln loved the common
people of his country as he loved his own
children. 1t was that faculty of putting
himself in the place Of other men" which
today causes the whole American people
to love, honor aud revere his name. No
such quality has so far shown itself in
Mckinley. In the Is months he has oc-
cupied his exalted position, not one sug-
geslion has he made looking to the bet
terment of the condition of the common
people. With the passage of a tariff bill

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Following very closely on the heels Of
the money question is that of direct leg
islation. In its possibilities as a reform
measure it cannot be denied even the
first place in importance. The principal
reason why it il now in the subordinate
position is because Of the fact that before
it can be put into practical effect through
out the nation the constitution of both
the state and the United States would
have to be amended, which is a slow, te-
dions process.
In the ease Of the United States it
wouli reQI.y, ratification by the lesjs-
latures of two thirds of the states, which
at present could scarcely be done. The
reform in our monetary system so urg-
entity demanded by the reform forces
meets no such obstruction. 1t is appar-
ent to all students OF political and social
economy that there is no one remedy
that can right all the wrongs that have
become entwined in our political social
fabric. 1t is quite apparent that when
We have succeeded in correcting the
abuses which are now agitating the peo-
pie, unless there are other reforms inaugu-
rated at once, all our labor will have
been in vain. 1t is also apparent that
before any lasting reform can be made it
will be necessary to bring the govern
ment closer to the people. There was a
time when the representative system Of
government now in vogue was fairly sat
isfactorv, bur the economic conditions
have 80 changed in the last third of a
century as to demonstrate to all earnest,
unprejudced minds that a change is alb
solutely necessary. The representative
plan has removed the management of our
pie that many men have become so dis
couraged of being able to influ ence pub
lie affairs that they no longer attend pri-
mares or conventions, and can scarcely
he induced to register or vote. The
greatest cause for this lameutabIe condi-
ton is the belief, whether well founded
or not need not be considered here, that
aggregated wealth principally in the hands
OF corporations, is able to bring such in
fuences to bear upon our representatives
as to control them. and make it impoesi
BILE that the interest of the people, where
it in any manner conflicts with the inter
est of such aggregated wealth, can be
propery protected by legislation.
As proof of their charges they point
to the fact, and it cannot be controverted,

POSTAL SAYINGS B1NKS NON
EST.

one year ago the administration was
warmly advocating postal savings banks.
Postmaster General Gary continues to adj
vocate them in a weakly manner, but the
proposition has received final blow in
the solar plexus from Secretary Gage,
who so ably represents the banking in
terests in McKinley's cabinet. The
bankers know it would deprive them OF
the legitimate profits they now make on
small deposits and would materially cur
tail the opportunity for the rongues to
live in luxury after emigrating to Canada.

which has been the facile tool of corrupt cor
porations, and the dishonesty Of whose po!ti-
clans has turned the state over to the control of
BRYAN and Bryanism."
There is probably no man in the Unit
ed States who, from his position as attor-
ney for the Union Pacific railroad and at
the same time holding seat in the Unit
ed States senate and rs leader in the
councils of the republican party, is bet
ter able to Judge or know of the power
and influence Of the money changers"
in shaping the policy of the republican
party. The trouble with Senator Thurs
ton was that the horrible sights he saw
and which killed his dearly beloved wife,
kindled spirit of humanity in his
breast until political policy was driven
out; and while under the influence he
told the truth
Again in the same paper, Harper's
Weekly, we find the following:
at has been suggested by the representatives
of European holders Of Spanish Cuban bonds
that if he mckinley should go so far as to de-
mand Il cessation of all warfare, he should do 1t
in such way as to leave room for dip lomatic
uegotions; they believe that they can arrange Il
peaceful understanding which shall provide for
the assumption by Cuba of all the spanish debt
incurred on Cuban account, with the United
States government AS guarautor"
Shade of Abraham Lincoln can it be
possible that all these days and weeks
since the good battleship Maine was con.
verted into steel casket for so many of
its brave crew have been allowed to pass
by Tor so base a purpose? We do not
believe 1t. 1t is too repulsive to con-
template. Yet that organ of the money
horrors Did not Senator Thurston
know whereo he spoke?

UNAMERICANISM.

If it were not on so serious a subject,
it would be amusing to see the acrobatic
performances the republican newspapers
are now making in their endeavor to
keep their balance with both the people
and the president on the question OF war
with Spain. The antics of turkey cock
on hot griddle comes the nearest to
anything we can think of for an ilustrs-
ton. The main trouble with them is
that they have had no instruction; and
the leaders to whom they have been wont
to look heretofore for cue are either 81
lent from the same cause or have adopted
the expression of countenance of the
Sphynx, which they are unable to read.
The audscity of Senator Mason in speak
ing right out in the cause OF humanity
before he got permission, they are sure
was wrong. so they all unite, from the
big mastif city daily down to the little
country weekly whifiet, which takes its
sustenances from the federal teat, in bark
ing and snarling at him. But the most
objectionable ofense was made by Sena
tor Thurston for he not only told us
that the atrocities committed by the
Spsnards on the helpless women, chill
dren, aged, sick and crippled Cubans,
was all that had been told, but was more
than the mind could conceive of. But,
that might have been forgiven him had
he not connected the money power with
the responsibility for its continuance.
The republican pre- SIS is almost unit in
denouncing him. Harpers' Weekly, a
leading goldite organ that worked hard
to elect Mckinley, says:
"Thurstons statement that no one in this
country is opposed to warlike Intervention ex-
cept the money changers is an nntruth, and
Mr.. Thurston knows it is an untruth. 1t
comes especially with i'll grace from senate
elected by the republican paay OF Nebraska,

the good. natured yet firm manner he dis
played in ruling the po licy OF his admin
istration. While no president ever had
an ADLER cabinet, yet every department
of the government was managed under
his dictation. Can the same be said OF
Mckinley? Does any man believe from
his past record that the financial policy
of this administration is the policy OF
William Mckinley? Does any man be.
lieve that the foreign policy that has al
lowed Spain to carry on a human elaugh-
ter-house in our dooryard during his
whole administration was Mckinley's
policy? Does any man believe that hos.
tility to postal saving banks is McKin-
ey's policy? We boldly say that we do
not believe that McKinley's sentiments
are expressed in any of the above named
policies. We do believe that President
Mckinley il honest, humane and just,
IL left to his own impulses. The policies
now being carried out are the policies of
the trusts and combines whichby heavy
contributions and combined effort elected
him president, and are now demanding
and collecting their pay. That Secretary
