AN effort will no doubt be made to
put the republican legislature on re-
cord concerning the question Of direct
legislation, OF course they were put
on record four years ago when the
populists passed the resolution for the
constitutional amendment by the two
thirds majority in the senate and lacked
only few votes in the house, the pop.
ulists and democrats voting solidly for
1t, and all but two or three republicans
voting against it, But this preform-
ance should be repeated every session
and let them continue to take the re-
Sponsibility for preventing the people
from voting upon their important laws.
The measure IS one in general favor,
even among very many republicans.
The tendency of the republicans we
have charged ia toward curtailing the
power of the people wherever possible.
The populists and democrats are in
favor of extending the power Of the
people wherever possible. On this
proposition for direct legislation is the
place to test the matter in q concrete
form,

FOR years tie republican party
raised Il cry in favor Of railroad leRis-
lation. During the time Of the popu-
list agitation for maximum rail-
road bill they claimed to be as much In
favor of railroad legislation as anybody
but Just wanted to be less drastic
than the populistS Their platforms
of four or five years ago were full Of
demands for railroad law Now they
have everything their own way In the
legislature, and no law whatever on
the statute books, What will they
do? Nothing, There has been some
talk that their commissioner bill must
pass, and some Of the Legislators are no
doubt In earnest-those who want to
be the commissioners, But already
the republican press Is beginning to
take up the notion that since the last
railroad law was declared unconsttn-
tional the State has been better OIL
than ever before, and In the language
of one Of the distinguished editors
they "should let the roads alone"
This is 80 rapidly becoming the ex'
pressed policy OF the republican party
on all laws concerning the repression
of the trusts or even the regulating OF
the corporations that 1t will be difficult
for them TO depart from 1t,

Ir would be good advice to the wives
Of iointists to let Mrs. Nation alone.
When they attempt physical violence
to her they are violating the law twice
while she is doing it but once. If it
should be kept up it might result in
showing the people that the
jointists are so much worse than she
and her sisters that it would bring
about an old fashioned temperance re-
yival. The fact is that the jointists
are not in a position to say or do very
much. For 1t seems she does not 90
about her business till she is sure her
blows will bring liquor. And here
comes in a thought which shows one
of the ineXpllcate things about human
nature. Many Of the men who most
frequent joints are men who care little
about the violation of law of any sort.
They could smash bottles or carry off
liquor and commit other depredations
on the joints with complete immunity
from punishment, because the owner
in order to prosecute would have to re.
veal the unlawful character Of the
place be kept. 1t would seem under
these conditions it would be dinlcult
for "A joint to stay in business. Yet
they seem to have no trouble in that

WHEN j, Ralph Burton Grated to the
legislature the other day to tell them
what u good deed they had just done
in electing him to the United States
Senate, he said 1.-THE dollar may have
bad side, but it also has good side, y
According to the Burton philosophy
the good side is when 1t is loaned to
him on a note. And the bad side Is
when it is to be paid out on a debt.
So Of course as j. Ralph wouldn't do
anything bad, why ne never pays a
dollar out that way.

and listened, in the pause, for sound

Duly her eyes rested on the door-latch,
the tiny squares Of the window pane,
beyond which leafless apple trees were
showing black streaks where the snow
that lay in the crotches trickled down
the grey bark.
Presently, in the kitchen, there was a
showing Of chairs over the bare floor,
and mechanically Eliza Ann closed her

door was pushed quite open.

DETAILS OF THE
 PEACE PROTOCOL
CHINA AGREES TO PAY THE 45o,- 100000 TAElS AND TO IMPLICIT
 PuNIsHMENTs UPON OFFICIALS
 GUILTY OF CRIMES.

Washington. october 26.-The final protocol closing the negotiations at Pekin between the Chinese plenipotentiaries and the representatives of the powers, as sub mitted by Special Commissioner Rockhill to the state department, in general terms recites the measures taken by China to satisfy the powers for the Boxer out break and the assassination of the Ger man minister, such as the dispatch of the embassy to China, and the promise to erect a monument to the memory of von Ketteler and memorial arch, work upon which has already begun, and the infiiction of punishments upon the Chi- nese officials who were charact erized as the principal authors of the outrage and the serious crimes committed against the foreign government and the other na- tions.
 Likewise the protocol shows that rep- aration. was made for the assassination of the Japanese chancellor of legation by a special mission to Japan.
 Article six provides for the total in- demnity of the 45O0O0, 900 taels with full particulars of the methods of amortiza- ton and distribution among the powers, each of which is to be represented by a delegate on the commission of bankers to receive the interest.
 The Chinese government undertakes to deliver to the doyen of the corps at Pekin bond for the lump sum which is to be divided into fractional bonds. This same article provides for the conversion of ad valorem into specific duties and the i'm provement of the rivers Pei-Hoa and Whang-Poo at the joint expense of the foreign interests in China.
 Article 10 looks to the future. prohibit ing Chinese membership in any anti-for- eign society under pain of death; pro hibiting examinations in the city where foreigners were massaored, and provid- ing for the dismissal of Governors who hereafter permit anti-foreign troubles.
 The last article transforms the Tsung- u Yamen into a ministry of foreign af- fairs under the name of Wal Wu Pu. which takes precedence over the six other ministries of the state.
