Strange that they should always lay

When they got to Palace Mansions

Many Errors Made In Her Address to
Parliament.
If Corbett were alive he could still
criticise the English grammar of the
speech prepared for the sovereign at
the opening Of parliament, says the
London News. The queen adopts this
speech at her council on the advice of
her ministers and 1t Is then given to
parliament as her own words" 1t is
important to observe that the presi-
dent of the council and the minister
who last saw the queen at Osborne in
reference to the speech read recently is
also the head of the education depart
ment. Is there an inspector Of schools
under him who would pass a reference
to expenditure which is beyond for
mer precedent? A question in Eng
lish grammar might be set in the
schools from the following sentence:
"a portion Of the Afridi tribes have
not yet accepted the terms offered to
them, but elsewhere the operations
nave ue6u DIuu5hL " q SuCSSSSAh
close" In the reference to Crete we
read: "The difficulty Of arriving at
an unanimous agreement upon some
points has unduly protracted their de-
alterations q. e., the deliberations of
the powers), but l hope that these OBJ
stacles will before long be surmount-
ed" What obstacles? AS "the diff
Guilty" is the subject in this sentence,
that obstacle" would appear to be
the appropriate phrase. Observe also
IAN unanimous agreement" AS in
these days unanimous is not pro-
nounced oonanimous but younanimous,
IAN" before the word is an abomina-
ton in speech and in writing but lame
ly defended, like certain rhymes, as
satisfying to the eye although Offend
ing the ear. As for the literary style
of the speech it is not likely to be
used as a model in the secondary
schools.

answered. IF your manll give me
hand We'll lift her in, in a minute"
Eventually the woman was lifted In
to the victoria and the energetic
young woman, having rushed back to
her house for her hat, got in also, and
supported her in as comfortable a posi-
ton as was compatible with her in
sensible condition. Just as they were
starting, doctor arrived on the scene,
took hasty glance at the victim Of
the accident, and quietly got in, TAX
ing possession of the little back seat.
"I'd better go-its a bad business"
he said to Lord Aylmer realizing that
he was the owner of the carriage.
"Yes-yes-we had better follow in
a cab" Lord Aylmer said, turning to
the policeman. 81 suppose you'll see
me through?"
ooh, yes, my lord; Pm bound to do
that" he answered.
Lord Aylmer was getting more and
more nervous; he got into the cab
looking white and scared, with his sim
full old heart humping against his
ribs in a way that was very unusual
with him. Not because his carriage
has run over an elderly woman and 1t
was likely to prove fatal accident,
not for that reason at ALL but wholly
and solely because, when Charles and
the policeman had lifted the uncon-
scious woman into the carriage, Lord
Aylmer had picked up letter which
was lying face upward in the roadway
just where she had lain. Short-sight-
edness was not one of Lord Aylmer's
signs of approaching years, and in an
instant he had grasped that the letter
was addressed to his nephew Dick, and
before Charles and the policeman had
got their burden safely into the vic
toria, he had thrust the letter into his
pocket, with a sort of implous thanks
giving to Heaven that at last the girl
he had been hunting down for many
weeks was delivered into his hand.
For evidently this respectable elder
ly woman, dressed in decent black was
Mrs. Harris servant; and If 1t hap
pened that she did not keep more than
one-why this accident would put her
altogether at his mercy.
He was positively trembling when
they reached the st. Georges Hospital,
and Barbara was carried in, not un-
conscious now, for the slight jolting OF
the carriage had brought her to again.
Then there was a short time of i'm
patient waiting before the doctor came
to them-that is, Lord Aylmer and the
young lady who had come with the
patient.
Broken Leg" he saba bad thing
at her time Of day. And she is wor-
rying about her mistress-wants to
send and break it gently-isn't in good
health just now. Will you go?" turn
ing to the young lady.
~? Oh, I'm so sorry, but I'm due
at rehearsal now-I must go off al
once. Couldn't you go?" she asked,
turning to Lord Aylmer.
"Certainly-with pleasure. Shall

bring her back to see the old Lady,"
Lord Aylmer inquired, in tone which
was a delightful mixture Of gallantry
and fatherliness-a tone which had, by
the-bye, stood him in good stead many
a time and oft.
Eyes, it would quiet her down a
little l dare say" the house surgeon
answered.

expenses, you know" Lord Aylmer
said, as he moved toward the door.

LADY," he added to the actress.
Thanks" she answered.
"And may l have the honor OF set
ting with the cabman?"
"Oh, no-very kind Of you, but al
ways pay for myself. The Cornhill-
good-by."
The cab rolled off, Lord Aylmer I'M
covered his handsome old head, smiled
his most fascinating smile, and bowed
with a profound air Of respect, which
was quite lost on the back Of the re-
treating cab and its occupants. Then
he got into his victoria and said, pal

woodenly; then remarked to Barker, as

nerves were all shaken with the acct
dent. and he would have given any

cllned for conversation.
Meantime, as soon as they had
reached Albert Gate, Lord Aylmer drew
out the letter and looked at 1t with a
grin Of satisfaction on his wicked old
face. HIN. Richard Harris Esq,

George Fred Williams, democratic
candidate for governor of Massachu-
Tetts:
The first step in the esta Enlistment of
a new system of government is to prove
the weakness of the existing system,
Ours is conservative people, ever hop
ing that the old will prove sufficient.
The thing now to be remedied is the
scheme of representative government.
It's proven weakness is its failure even
substantially to represent. Its first
fallibility is shown in the caucus. The
preliminary party meetings discourage
the voter because the slate succeeds so
often that he absndons eventually the
effort TO cantrol it. Second, the result
ing convention is seen by the voter to
be still further removed from his will.
Preliminary representation is found to
be hopelessly under the control of the
machine Bossism has developed so
generally that in all parties the voter
feels that his time is wasted in the
party preliminaries There are few ex-
ceptions to the rule that the boss holds
his power through the special interests
which are in politics to secure valuable
legislative privileges or to defend them
selves against the assertion of the pu bile
rights.
The mex. stage of action is the legis-
tive and the executive. New influences
and new motives are now added, the
lobby, the legislative caucus, the per-
sistence of pressure, the power of the
party organization, desire for re-elec-
tion, lattery and even bribery now play
their individual parts. Under these
multitudinous influences, the fools are
led and if they are not supreme, the
knAves are brought in to make major
lty. The house is more faithful to the
people than the senate because the in
huences are more scattered. The house
comes for a caucus, the senate for a
convention. The nearer the represen-
tative to plebiscite, the more faithful
he will prove to his constituency.
Then comes the committee formed
and handled generally in behalf of
special interests. The committee has
full and special knowledge of the facts
concerning each measure, and it is rare
that an Individual can overcome its re-
concentrations The committee hav.
ing special interests in charge are gen
orally appointed in their favor by n
presiding officer who needs these in
terests for his success.
When arbitrary rule over legislation
is assumed by the presiding officer, as
now in the house of representatives, it
is by his grace that the peoples will

Dicks name, her agony was so great;

1t never occurred to Lord Aylmer
that she was thinking of Dick. He
only thought how lovely she was in
her distress, and wondered how he
could best tell her the TRUTH

truth out at last, there has been an
accident, and your old servant"

succeed by two methods, force, thwart-
ing legislation and, second, securing
bad legislation. Hence the necessity
for the initiative to secure needed legis-
lation and the referendum to defeat bad
legislation.
We are somewhat familiar with the
referendum in popular votes upon con
stitutional amendments, municipal
charters, license laws, etc. But the
initiatiYe must appear even more i'm.
portant to the realization of true demo-
crazy 1t is difficult to see where either
of these measures is assailable from the
democratic standpoint. They represent
indisputably the peoples will firmly
expressed. The initiative may need
careful consideration in detail, but the
referendum seems to be plain right of
the people, The legislator in theory
does the peoples will through represen-
tation; if in fact majority of the peo-
pie be against a legislative act, the
theory is falsified and the defeat of
such an act by direct vote of the consti-
tuency corrects the practical failure of
the representative theory.
1t must be said that the present con-
ditions of legislative work are scandal
ous Corporations have been created
by the state to turn, like Frankinsteins,
upon the state, tn cir creator. Railroads
own Legislatures, and even constitu-
tions are over-ridden by them us in the
Pennsylvania case. So ruthlessly are
the peoples rights shattered under the
representative system, that men un-
hesitatingly talk of revolutionary vio-
lence to undo these wrongs. There is
an ugly spirit abroad and we listen to
threats of violence from men who
twenty years ago would have rebuked
language like their own. But force is
no proper instrument in a republic till
all others have failed. AS our sense Of
helplessness comes from the represent
tative system, why not furnishmethods
of reform which will give peaceable
remedy? In the name of our dear
republic, let US have at least the refer
endum with which to undo false legis-
lation The initiative may be APP
preached tentatively and developed
with experience, but the referendum
should be placed at once in our consti-
lions.
The Australian ballot is developing
serious defects; the caucus, the conven-
tion have proved more potent under it
and they in turn must be regulated by
the state. False counts, arbitrary rule
by presiding officers, partisan election
commissioners are fast destroying the
faith of the people in the security Of
the new system. Let us return to true
democracy and trust the people by di-
rect vote to assert their rights and the
right. If tile people nay not be
trusted, then our democratic system is
not a success.

Some Pointed Questions.

Congressman Towne has been do ing
splendid work in California speaking
for the cause of silver. Recently in
Stockton the editor of the Independent
propounded that old rusty conundrum
about the price of wheat, when Towne
publicly asked him the following ques.
tons.
1. Do you believe in the "dollar OF
greatest purchasing power?"
2. Are you glad that in 1897 certain
American farmers got higher price
for their wheat than for some years
past?
8. If you say Eyes" to the last ques
ton, explain why you are glad thai
the dollar had less purchasing pow
err" as reckoned in wheat, than be-
fore?
4. If it was good thing that the
farmer got a higher price for his wheat,
would it not haye been still better if
he could have got higher prices for his
hay, his cotton, his fruit, and all his
products?
s. If higher prices for the farmer
would be good, why not also for the
other producers?
These questions require no answer,
because the answers are self-evident.
