REFERENDUM AT SEATTLE.

The populists in the coming
campaign will sing the praises of
initiative aAd referendum. Their
recruits from the democratic
party will chant as loudly i'll the
same strain, but the recruits
song is of the lips only. They
havn't the slightest idea of the
meaning of their newly adopted
ums and ems, but adopt them as
a musical and possibly effective
campaign cry.
But the populists understand
all the meaning that lies i'll those
majestic words. 1t is somewhat
singular that those unemployed
statesmen who are wont to insist
SO strongly on the ''principles
laid down by the founders of the
government" should advocate
the overthrow of our present
representative form of govern
ment, but populisrn is not bound
by any CALLING chain Of con-
sistency.
And now from Seattle comes
an example of the referendum in
actual practice. The people
were to vote on several amend
n1ents to what is practically the
constitution of the city. Two
of the amendments were contra
dictory methods of dealing with
one proposition, the idea being
to give the people chance to
select one of two remedies. The
people voted for both amend
n1ents. Of course this will cause
much confusion and perhaps ex-
pensive law suits, but the popu-
lists must say they enjoy it, for
it is the result of the referendum.

FENUM HABET IN CORNU.

One of the most insistent and
most asgravatlng of all political
nuisances is the selt-styled "ori-
ginal gold-standard republican. :"
He is very much in evidence just
now, and his prayer, 81 thank
thee that am not as other men,"
beoms and roars above all other
noises of the political warfare.
He is usually the veriest hum
bug since the days OF Cade. He
is altogether too numerous. Ia
very rare instances is there the
slightest foundation for his self
granted title. A few years ago
a strictly gold standard republi-
can could hardly be found, and
when one was discovered it was
usually seen that he was for gold
simply because the great majority
of his party associates were not.
1t was contrairiness, not reason,
that put him on the right road.
Here and there are republicans
who were always gold standard
nen from real conviction, but
those men are not the self-prais-
ing, "originalgol standard re-
publicans," who now disturb our
slumbers. The genuine original
is modest.
The humbug prototype of lat
ter day republicanism struts be-
fore the public and poses as the

A CORRECTION.

It is annoying to those who
sincerely desire republican Sue
cess to be forced into discussing
with other republicans past local
party history. The revival of
personal and party quarrels
through newspaper editorials
surely cannot be justified on
any plea of party expediency.
A statement published last
week, attempting to explain GER
tain republican happenings of
two years ago, bears every ap-
pearance of being a deliberate
attempt to disrupt the republican
party of Benton county. Unless
credit for its inspiration be given
to the managers of the silver
forces, the publication can only
be ascribed to rankest folly. The
fact that its author, despite pub
lie disclaimers, aspires to be "a
candidate on the republican
ticket, makes the article all the
more inopporfune-to put it
mildly.
Even were the alleged facts
true, every consideration of party
loyalty and personal ambition
should have prevented the au-
thor from deeply offending those
who, lie now claims, have erred
