Summary Of the

House bill No. SO for n constitutional
amendment to legaliZe the initiative
and referendum was called up in the
House by Mr.. Morris for reconsldera-
ton, and the former vote defeating it
was reconsidered and the bill passed
by just the necessary two-thirds.
More than six amendments to the
constitution can be voted upon by the
people at one time If they do not
amend more than six articles of the
constitution. There might, for in
stance, so far us the law is concerned,
be six amendments each to six differ
ent articles, making thirty-six amend
ments to be voted on.
Grand Army officials are particularly
anxious to secure the passage of two
bills now before the state Senate.
These bills are S. b. 25S. to appropri-
ate $4,000 for improvements Mt the
Soldiers and Sailors Home. and s. b.
$50, providing $4,000 for the mainte-
nance of the home for the present BIZ
ennial period. The proposed amend
ments are in addition to all sums to be
provided by the federal government
for this home. Department Command

passage of these bills and they are be-

Efficiency of Expansion.

Professor Woodrow Wilson, in the
Atlantic Monthly. supplies thought
full study of the merits and defects of
the American form of government and
the probable effect of our new depend
dencies on our Internal administration.
The Inauguration and organization of
new government in Porto Rico and
the Philippines will certainly not only
bring into light defects in home ad-
ministration, but suggest their correc-
tion. Expansion will not imperil
American liberty, but will strengthen
them, by showing how Democratic
principles are to be conserved by diff
ferent methods to suit different convic-
tons.
The one great defect of our system,
justly pointed out by Mr.. Wilson, is
undoubtedly the multitude of our elec-
tive offices. We have countless le-
gion of party elective officials; too
many of them without ambition or
ability. so incurably idle as to see no
way of earning livelihood save by
fastening on to party machinery and
securing an Office with salary sufficient
to live off public they have neither
conscience nor capacity to serve.
To establish American government in
the newly acquired islands we must
send the very best Americans capable
of holding and administering positions
of trust.
The national government will be is
self responsible to Congress and to
country for the character of the nomi-
nations thus made Safe are we in pre-
dieting that the officials sent to the is
lands will be as n body incomparnbly
superior to those selected under many
state, city and county organizations in
the older portions of the Republic.
President Mckinley will appoint no
man to office of trust in these newly
acquired regions save upon the strong
representations of men of authority
and weight. How much better, il ill.,
stead of having, as we have now in too
many instances, to vote for administra-
ton of local affairs by men secretly.

The reports of the surrender of in
surgents in the Philippines are COM
ing to the United States with pleasing
frequency. Apparently several of the
islands are now practically free from
all political disturbance. The end of
the campaigning season will arrive i'll
n month or six weeks, but US there has
been no campaigning of any conse-
quence for the past twelve months this
will be of no consequence. All the
rebel chiefs of any prominence are

A man who has just retired from
the employ of the Pennsylvania rail-
road after fifty years Of continuous
service as a night watchman declares
that he is the luckiest railroad man
on record. He has never been repri-
manded, never met with an accident
and never caused one. On the other
hand, he once stopped the Philadel-
phia express on the edge of a wash
out, and saved 200 lives. In spite of
many temptations, an oath never
passed his lips during all his years of
service, and he has never used tobac-
60 or tasted liquor. Perhaps his effi-
cheney and freedom from accident
were not due entirely to luck.
