A True Democracy.

Not everybody has thought of the diff.
ference between true democracy and
a representative government. In true
democracy the people themselves gov
ern. They vote on laws and measures
to be passed, and themselves elect such
officers as are necessary. In a repre-
sentative government the people elect
representatives who make. or are sup.
posed to make. such laws as are needed
and transact other public business. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that the United
States is a representative government.
not democracy.
The trouble with a representative gov
eminent is that it's representatives are
apt to forget the interests of those who
elected them for their own interests and
to represent only themselves. The def
milton of public Office in the mind of a
practical politician is a place created to
give living to the politician.
The only trace of really democratic
government among civilized nations to-
day is to be found in Switzerland in the
two legislative features known as the
initiative and the referendum. In the in
itiative, so called, body of private citi-
zens may prepare laws and propose them
for enactment. The referendum Is. how
ever. more important because its adop-
hon has been seriously proposed in other
countries. w. d. McCracken mentions
in The Cosmopolitan magazine that it is
survival of the ancient Swiss landsge-
meinde, where all voters assembled, and,
opening the meeting with solemn prayer,
In few hours had transacted all the
public business necessary for the next
year.
Under the Swiss referendum all laws
of sreat Importance are referred to TIE
whole body of voters for their rejection
or adoption. Sometimes the voteSs
themselves. or a body Of not less than
10000 of them, demand by petition that
a measure shall be thus referred. Again
the legislative body dScides that q
law shall be thus referred. Then il
Is published. and copies thereof are
distributed among voters. Ninety days
are allowed to pass. If In that time
10000 voters. or eight cantoAs. have not
petitioned for popular vote on the bill,
then it becomes law without the pop.
slar vote.
What boon to our country it would
be Just now if the s;'-s- and tariff ques-
tions could thus be settled on the refer.
endum principle by vote of the whoie
peoplel 1t would be a marvellous In
ducement to voters to study into tbs
real merits Of both questions

Not long since Rev. Thomas Q. Hall
Of the Forty-frst Presbyterian church,
Chicago. preached sermon that was
rather remarkable. He criticised his
own cloth as a layman would not dare
do Particularly he pointed out the
weak spots in much that goes by the
name of preaching, amcffg other things
saying:
wishy-washy. goody-goody talk. with Illus
trations dragged in headlong and now and
thon furious thrust at some universally con-
Eemned sin Is not preaching and has no pow
or. Better 10 eager, honest, sympathetic words
than half ream full Of the doleful, dreary
commonplaces that most of us can write by
the hour and foist on patient, long suffering
congregations under the name of pulpit min
strations-" The pulpit has several misfor-
tunes 1t is a grave disadvantage to preach
ing-whatever its many advantages in Other
lines-that so many regard churchgoing Tor
its own sake as virtue. 1t gives weak preach
ing hearing il does not deserve and should
not get.
Another disadvantage is that no one an
swers the preacher. He can belabor with
merciess severity higher criticism" and
science falsely so called" and only one or
two in his whole congregation detect from mis-
pronounced names anu aD5ufu luta
the learned pastor is along those lines an igno-
ramus and q humbug. The preacher can be a
literary impostor. He can by the skillful use
of names and alleged facts picked out of re-
views and other irresponsible sources OF mis-
information pose as very widely read and
learned man. No one cross examines him. Nc
one shows up his pretentious ignorance, and
his flock is sooner or later composed only OF
those who have not detected the imposture and
staid away.
There is an immense amount of this pulpit
lmposture, and it cannot be for the glory OF
God 1t is not demanded that the preacher
should know everything. But she preacher
should be honest. He should not pretend u
know what he does not know There are thou
sands of young men who sneer at all preaching
because they have detected in so many preach
srs this Grass, rude pulpit bunko game.
If only we preachers stuck to our real work
we should save ourselves from temptation
along this line. Why should we go out of oul
way to helabor science" or "criticism?' Thes
are Gods messengers as much as we, and u
their own master they stand or fall.

good for the rails upon curves. Rough
