Governor Lind of Minnesota is
Silver Republican who is too well satis-
fled with the present cooperation OF
reformers under William J. Bryan's'
leadership tc go into a new party; anu
here is what Governor Lind says o..
direct legislation:
"Under the economic conditions
which have obtained and which nave
made capital, through organizations
such a potent factor in society and In
legislation. it has become necessary
that the. individual citizen should be
given more efficient means for his pro-
lection. The exclusively representa-
tive method is no, longer safeguard as
has peen so prominently demonstrates
in the recent franchise scandals In one
III our sister states. Instances OF simt
liar character, though not so fragrant,
are not wanting in our history The
only remedy, it seems to me, against
ouch abuses, is to afford the people a
constitutional method by which they
can initiate needed reforms, by direct
action. on the one hand, and exercise
the veto power on questionable or cor
rupt legislation on the o1er. This in
wolves the introduction of no new prin-
ciples in our form of government
There are no stronger reasons FOR
trusting the people to pass upon men
than upon measures. We do not think
so in regard to constitutional enact
ments. which is legislation in its high
est and most important form. The
people now have the power to initiate
reforms, and legislation in the matter
of locating county seats, and in some
municipal undertakings. This power,
with proper restrictions as to the time
and frequency of its exercise, should
be extended to other important ques-
tions. By the provisions Of our con-
stitution the people now have the veto
power at tho polls on any legislation by
which It ia proposed to change our
present laws governing railroad taxa
| tion. We are, therefore, already COM
mitted to the principle involved in the
second branch Of the question. The
constitution could, and In my tudg-
tment should, be so amended as to en-
able a minority in the legislature. by
appropriate action, to refer enactment
at least such as extend corporate priv
ileges or authorize the granting OF
franchises, to vote Of the people be-
fore becoming operative"
It is inspiring to see the unanimity
of Democratic, Populist and Silver Re-
publican leaders upon all of the great
issues. including direct legislation. Nc
new party or new coalition of parties
ia needed Just now. Upon direct legis
lation and all other issues the Repub

SENATOR MURGANS OPINION.

Senator John T. Morgan recently
wrote these words:
1--WE have in these islands (the Ha-
waiian) an Emporium in fmperIo which
is still in the complete exercise of its
sovereign powers of government, eX-
cept as TO foreign affairs, that it pos
sessed while it was an Independent
republic. This apparent anachronism
in government, which is no less than
the existence Within our territorial
stitution; a complete code of laws, civil
and criminal; a financial system: a
tariff imposing duties on imports from
all countries, including the United
States; a President and Cabinet, and
a complete official encourage, includ-
ing courts of final jurisdiction; is still
a legitimate government, based on the
same principles of international law
that obtained in Louisiana, under the
act signed by Thomas Jefferson, to
complete the annexation of the Louisi-
ana territory TO the United States. "
These views of the Senator exclude
the proposition that the Constitution
extends to these Islands, until Congress
has so declared. The opinions of the
men in Washington who secured an
naxation, and now control affairs, are
alike ON this subject. The Supreme
Court of these Islands, which are not
according to Senator Morgan, a mere
territory OF the United States, but {
State holding the sovereign power O
government" has unfortunately los
the respect of some residents here who
wish to see it's judgments reversed OF
the Constitutional question. But a.
their judgments are cordially approved
of by the men in Washington who ar
the makers of the laws, they need no
indulge i'm much grief at the loss o
this local respect. The indignant cltl
zens who are chilled to the bone, be
cause they are not covered by TN
blanket of the Constitution, shout
now severely rebuke Senator Morga
for his dreadful lhereSies about our poll
tical relations with the United State:

HOGG WAS AN ASS.

Ex-Governor HOgg, of Texas, who
made a visit recently to these Islands,
was i'm the city of New York ON the
Fourth of July, and was suddenly IN
yited by the Tammany Committee ON
Celebrations to make a few remarks IN
the Wigwam. The Committee forgot,
however. to inform him that ohe lead
ers insisted that no illusions should
be made in this speech to silver, or the
nomination of Bryan as "a presidential
candidate. Croker's plan was to pre-
sent Judge Van Wyck as the Tammany
candidate in due time and upon gold
platform.
AS soon, however, as the irrepressl-
bile Hogg got on his feet, he declared
that silver and "16 to l. would be
the issue i'm the next campaign, ana
that Bryan would be the Democratic

Gale in the other world, should have
known this. But in this world all OF
the astronomers, including Flam-
marion, believed at the time that
Jupiter had only four satellites and
Saturn eight. In his communications
through F'lammarion, Gale stated that
Jupiter had only four satellites and
Saturn eight. Since the communication
was made the increase in satellites has
been discovered This error, Flam-
marion says, is convincing proof that

PROVERB ADVERTISEMENT
Attractive Style Adopted by A
Well Known Firm.

Aptness in quotation is often
more effective than brilliant origi-
nality. And when quotations are
used in new and original manner
as they are now used in the new
advertisements of G. /. Hood <
Co., proprietors of the well known
medicine, Hoods Sarsaparilla, they
are especially striking. Readers
oil newspapers must have noticed
in the last few weeks the ''Proverb
advertisements" adopted by this
firm. The heading of each adver-
tisement consists of a familiar quo
tation-a proverb, old saying,
wise saw, or couplet-as "Bettrr
Be Wise than Rich" and from
this the argument leads up to the
wisdom of keeping the blood pure
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. We can
say on general principles, that
anything which attracts the atten-
ton of people 10 Hoods Sarsapar-
illa- is to be commended. This
medicine has stood the test Of time
and trial and has constantly main
tanned it's place ION top" It's re-
cord of cures is unapproached by
any other preparation and its sales
are enormous.
A feature of the new style of adj
vertising is the short, solid, con-
densed testimonials which appear
in each advertisement. The dis
eases cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla
are many, because this medicine
makes rich, pure blood, and it is
we'll known that a vast proportion
of the disease and suffering in the
world Is due to impure blood. 1t
needs no argument to prove this to
anyone who understands the i'm
portance and functions Of the blood.
While the new Hoods Sarsapar-
lila advertisements are attractive,
interesting and instructive, they
are sure to be the means of doing
incalculable good by turning the
attention of the people to medi
cine that possesses genuine merit
AS the new advertisements say
Hoods Sarsapariila never disap
points; 1t cures when all Others
fail.
