Democracy Pure and Sim
pie

The initiative and referendum
are growing in popularity. In the
language of the Democratic
national platform, absolute ac-
quiescence in the will of the ma
joriry, the vital principal of re-
publics (this and other fundamen.
tai principally are doctrines which
Democracy has established as pro-
verbs of the nation, and they
should be constantly invoked,
preached, resorted to and en-
forced" The initiative and re-
ferendum do not displace repre-
sentative government; they simply
bring the government nearer to
the people, and by perfecting
representative government they
strengthen rather than weaken it,
The opponents of the initiative
and referendum distrust the
masses; they assume that the
people as a whole are incapable of
passing Judgment upon their own
affairs; they must select officers
to think for them and act for
them. The Democratic idea is
that the people think for them
selves and select representative
to reflect their will that being in
every way competent to select
their lawmakers, the people are
equally competent to pass upon all
measures introduced and to either
accept or reject the same. Thus
the Democratic contention is that
all questions of vital import, such |
as the tariff, currency and foreign
immigration, should be su ubmitted |
to the people for ratification or
rejection, and once decided cannot
be subject to change until such |
time as certain percentage of
the population demand that the
questions again be considered.
The first effect of the Initiative
and referendum would be great
awakening on the part of the
people to the Importance of poll
ties and economics. Once assured
that the welfare of the country
rested wholly with them; that it
had been taken out of the hands
of the machine politicians and
corporation hirelings, they would
at once take up the study of po-
litical questions and prove their
capability of looking after the
government, just as the people of
Switzerland haye done. Further
more, every political organ in the
country would be compelled to
NtAoSbSo oH GbCtl
instead of Declouding the issues
as now. There would be no dis
eusslon of the currency or tariff
question in state or municipal
campaign, and so great would
be the campaign of education that
political parties would vie with
one another in advocating that
which is good instead of trucking
to bossism and the representatives
of predatory wealth.
The initiatiye and referendum
meane Democracy pure and simple.
1t places the peoples government
just where it belongs-in the hands
of the eople.--Columbus Press.

City Of Evansville May Be Left, tho
Ohio Cutting New Channel.
Evansville, Ind, Jan. 16.-The Ohio
river rose Is inches, making the stage
40 feet The river cut channel
across the Big Horseshoe bend be-
tween here and Henderson and is
flowing through there now at tre-
mendous rate, leaving the water in
the harbor here as quiet as a lake
The city confronts the serious danger
of being left five miles from the Ohio
river. The city's fate as future
harbor depends on how long the river
stays up, If higher water comes in
such volume as to increase the flow
across the point in the new channel,
then Evansville may be left high and
dry sitting on the old river bed.

of prophecy made last December by

Mr.. Spangler announced shortly be-

disastrous earthquake soon after the

early date he would take occasion to
defend himself against "the insulting

feeling provoked by the controversy
between the senators makes 1t impos-

on the resolution. Mr.. Spooner took
the position that Article of the Arti-

Carbonhill.

Rev. j. W. Orr, pastor of the
Haydenville Circuit, has just
closed meeting at Carbonhill, o.,
where he has been laboring since
Jan. / 1897. Though the weather
was very inclement, the attendance
was fairly good, at least as good
as could be expected with condi-
tions as they were. The people of
this village are very hospitable
and many are in sympathy with
the work of the Church. AS a
result of this meeting the Class
meeting and the Prayer Meeting
will be revived, and when, in the
month of May, another meeting is
held, We expect to reap an abun-
dant harvest and see the Church
strengthened and sinners saved.
Six persons have decided to bring
their church letters to the M. K.
Church, here, which means en-
couragement to the loyal members
of this church, who have stood by
the work through many diseour-
agement. With the promise of
financial prosperity for Carbonhill
we are praying for spiritual
awakening in the Churches, that
believers may be edited and pre-
cious souls born into the Kingdom.

oceans of lace and narrow ribbons to
match. There will be, if signs do not
fail. great amount Of narrow ribbon
used to trim these summer frocks, silk,
satin and velvet. Many muslns have
stripes, checks or inwoven tiny figures
of soft silk which make very entic-
Ing material at a reasonable cost, not
over 60 cents yard, but it is only
thirty three inches wide.
For more ordinary use there are some
extremely neat and pleasing designs in
fine Scotch glnghams and galateas.
These are solid and good value. They
will be excellent for shirt waists and
for children, for they wash admirably.
Percales are also among the new-old
favorites. They are exceptionally pref
ty, with neat figures and good colors,
and percales do not fade.
Wooden voiles and fine meshed gren-
adines and silk and wool mixtures are
among the handsomest Of the output
in black goods, and they will not be
for mourning, but for elegant dresses
for swell occasions. For mourning
there is a new and most graceful ma
terial, something between china Grape
and a silk warp henrietta. but 1t has
all the virtues Of both. The gown in
the illustration Is made of 1t, showing
its peculiar draping qualities. Natu-
rally it Is trimmed with bands and
rouleaux Of English Grape; but, being
made in the coveted and not always
becoming princess style, 1t fits the fig
ure like the proverbial glove. The neck
Of this gown, open, with chemlsette
Of white Grape shows that 1t is admis-
sible for the wearer to have Grape
llsse vel with Courtauld border.
Hats FOR the early spring are not so
large or so aggressive as those Of the
season now past. but l cannot say
much for their beauty. No two are
alike, and each seems to be twisted
into all sorts Of shapes, but they are to
match the syndicate colors.

SEASONABLE FABRICS.
Some Of the New Goods That Will Be
Popular.

Again the summer goods are on view
now that the bargain sales of white gar
ments have ended, and we are shown
some very dainty and pretty designs in
the ola materials, for of course there
Is but limited number of textiles. and
just now the linens and fine mcrceriZed
cottons in their various weavcs pre-
dominate. Among the all white goods
are richly and beautifully embroidered
french piques, running from 80 cents
to 20 cents for the plain to Il dollar or
two for the embroidered. French ba-
tiste embroidered in rather light. stray
GllnE designs are among the prettiest
OF them all. while the list of swisses
is long and dainty. The old dotted de-
Sign is In evidence again. and all sizes
OF dots from pinheads to dots as large
around as nickel are seen. Thus one
can have wide choice. Some of the
dotted swisses have an edge of dccp
scallops with dot or Il cluster of dots
III each scallop.
Dimities are shown all white and
checked and also striped and in many
other fancies. Dimity is Il very useful
quality of cotton goods, as it washes
eXccllcntly well and seems never to
show its age.
y novelty is the plain linen in solid
colors, yarn dyed and consequently
fadecSs. This Is not so dead fine as it
Is transparent. being quite loosely w0v-
Ell. These linens run in price from 30
cents to Il dollar Il yard. and all are Il
yard wide. Some of these linens are
quite coarse and have irregular threads,
so they may well be called etaminc.
This material is excellent for wear and
for sold quality 1t requires but little
trimming and will be made with tucks
and possibly a little braid to match or
contrast with the color. 1t is shown
in dark blue. madden red, dark green
and in several neutral tlnts, besides
the shades Of colors to be fashionable
the coming summer.
Irish dmity has always been a well
liked material, and some, as l said.
are plain and embroidered. but there
are also some very desirable ones
printed with eXquisitely beautiful lit
tie flowers in the prettieSt of natural
tints. Others, again, have queer de-
signs impossible to classify. Some of
the fine French lawns are printed i'll
delicate and elusive designs very lovely
for garden parties and outdoor func-
tons at which pretty dresses are nee
essary.
a long line Of taffeta batiste which
means highly mercerized in plain col
ors, is shown and will be made with
