The fever of speculation seems to have
taken fresh hold on the people from the
prospectuses of "get rich quick" concerns
that are being sent out broadcast, and the
tempting advertisements to be seen OF
gold mine, oil gusher, electric, traction,
and innumerable other stocks, promising
sure returns in fabulous rates of interest
and dividends on money invested. That
these circulars, etc., are the means of
drawing into the Golfers of numerous fake
concerns thousands of the hard earned
savings of the people, which are worse
than wasted and for which no return is
ever received, is shown by the accounts
published almost daily of the bursting of
some financial bubble and the arrest or
flight from justice of the officers of the
concern, and this apparently increasing
desire of the people to revel i'll the gol-
den stream of wealth promised in these
alluring advertisements. bids fair to add
amazingly to the wrecks of humanity
which each year are strewn along the
shores Of speculation.

Fifty Years a Teacher.

Miss Martha Biddle, of this
town, on the 3rd of this month,
completed a half century of her
life as teacher. She began the
work on April 3rd, 1853, at a road
side school between those classic
spots, the Bull Frog and Purgatory
Run, receiving her credentials from
five Trustees, who assured her
that nerve and muscle both, would
be required for successful work
She was barred out once, but after,
wards concluded a peace by grant
ing the petition of her pupils, and,
knowing the nature Of the typical
small boy, treated him to shooting
crackers, and other pyrotechnic
forms of Chinese amusements.
Miss Martha recalls with pleasure
her varied experiences in those
early years, in attempting to
teach the young idea how to shoot,
even if she did use shooting crack
ers.-Whig.

What the Initiative and the Refer.

The changed conditions of the last fifty
years have rendered it not only expedi-
ent but absolutely necessary if free insti-
tutions are to be preserved and if the re-
government of the people, by the people,
and for the people, that certain safeguards
be thrown out to preserve popular govern
ment from the corrupt aggressions of cor
porate wealth, and the subtle reactionary
spirit that seeks TO re-establish the old
Immoral "divine right" idea on the throne
of peoples government. This is not
saying, of course, that the attempt to
revive the idea of the divine right of kings
is contemplated. The divine right of
property, or the establishment of property
rights over the inherent and inalienable
rights of man, is merely another form of
the same tyranny that ever was against
justice, freedom and fraternity. And
during the last thirty or forty years so
great has been the rise of the aristocracy
of the dollar or the plutocracy in this
country, so aggressive and immoral has
been its influence in politics, and so rap
idly but quietly has it gained ownership,
control or influence over various public
opinion forming agencies that municipal,
state and national scandals have followed
one another in rapid succession; while
millions are oppressed and plundered by
monopolies and corporations In the pres
ence of a government that, when not
cynically Indifferent, pleads the baby
act of helplessness. During this period
the machine, the partisan boss and the
corporation-a trinity of darkness-have
become deadly peril to free government
To meet this emergency it is of vital
Importance that government be carried
back to the people, that the power to
initiate and to veto legislation be given
In fact to the voters and that the farce of
special interests ruling country under
the pretext of popular government shall
cease. This is precisely what the Refer
endum and the Initiative secures to the
people. 1t is merely the realization of
republican or democratic ideals of gov
ernment in their most perfect expression,
and the only way in which the usurpa-
ton of public government by unscrupu-
lous party bosses, corrupt machines and
equally corrupt corporate wealth can
be destroyed.-B. O FLOWER, in arena.
