FARMERS INSTITUTE.

R REPRESENTATIVE CONWELL and some
A~ other members of the Legislature opposed
the bill providing for an increase in the appro-
priation of the State for the Farmers Institutes,
but the bill passed the House and the appropria-
ton was advanced from 5000 to $500, more than
doubled.
Perhaps Mr.. Conwe suspects that the Farmers
Institutes are not so largely attended as they
should be aud that the money is wasted. AS Mr.,
Conwell says the Government issues bulletins on
agricultural topics and it should be easy for the
farmers to keep themselves informed
The crux of the matter, it seems to us depends
upon how many farmers attend these institutes.
If the attendance is small and if little interest is
manifested in such meetings, il is foolish for the
State TO increase its expenditure for their sup
port. These institutes should be valuable. II is
true that information can be obtained from publ
cations just as a man can become informed by
reading on all subjects but much better is the
lecture and actual contact with the speaker. II
that we're not true, there would be no need OF
teachers and lecturers. Folks could become edu-
Gated merely by reading. But a reading course
can never supplant the actual instruction
AT their grange meetings the farmers consider
matters similar to those discussed by the lecturers
at the institute meetings. but with the difference
that local farmers often have their actual exper-
fences with home soil.
AS we have said however the question is wheth.
institutes well patronized to justify the
State in increasing the appropriation devoted to
their support. We have suspicious that many OF

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

He INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM bill
n failed TO pass the House at Dover but il got
more votes than expected The fact that so
radical proposal that contained in the Intia-
tive and Referendum bill received so many votes
in branch Of the Legislature will surprise most
people who have given any thought to the matter
The Initiative and Referendum proposal was to
amend the organic law of the State so as to apply
the Initiative and Referendum and as we under
stand il practically TO do away with representa-
tive government.
The Journal advocated modified form of the
Initiative and Referendum if that be possible
There might be referendum which would not be
mandatory. We have had such a referendum, but
the staunch advocates Of the reform think little
of a referendum or an initiative that is not man
datory.
The Initiative and Referendum is advocated
strongly by the groups of Single Takers and Soc
ialsts in this city and by some other so-called
reformers who may not be allied with either the
Single Takers or the Socialists The advocacy of
the Single Takers is not hard to explain for they
think that under the new system they could get
direct vote on the Single Tax question and by a
direct vote they would have hope Of upsetting the
present order in Delaware and applying the Single
Tax They might have a fighting chance, and
hardly that, we think.
Some of the advocates Of the Initiative and Re.
ferendum believe that it would cure the ills from
which the body polite suffers. They like all
other reformers Of one idea men who believe that
by some special law or rule, and by that only, can
political happiness be brought about. Apply their
cure and everything is all right They are like the
Christian Scientists in medicine and religion.
The Journal does not hold to the belief that any
one thing is going to work these wonders
There is plenty of opportunity for the advo-
Gates of the Initiative and Referendum and all
other reforms to work under the present system
for bettermeut And the first thing for them and
for all others to do is TO arouse citizens so that
they shall take an interest in public matters If
this we're done, even under the present order and
without the many reforms suggested, we could
have much better government

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Time When Webster
Wa FIlly Frimed
By "HOlIand."

One evening. in the spring of 1882
when l called upon Samuel j. Randall
then Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, / found him in a reminis-
cent frame of mind. Ii was, in fact, the
only time / ever knew him to be In
such a mood; he was customarily abb
sorbed in his duties as a member OF
the House of Representatives so much
so, indeed. that, while Speaker, he
made a practice of carefully reading as
many of the printed bills that were be-
| fore the House as the pressure upon
his time made possible. AS a result, his
study-a little room on the second
floor, back, of the modest two-story
house, near the Capitol, in which he
made his home-was crammed full of
and Uttered with printed documents of
all sorts.
On the evening speak of bills lay
all about him, but this time HIS
thoughts were of another day; he was
interested in comparing the Southern
members Of Congress of the Recon-
struction period with their famous pre-
decessors of ante-bellum days, and it
was a comparison not at all unfavor-
able TO the latter-day Senators and
Representatives In the course of this
comparison, the name of Hayne of
South Carolina cropped up.
And that reminds me-" said the
Speaker, "of an anecdote of Hayne and
Webster which was told me by Mr..
Sanford--I do not now recall his first
name-who held an official position in
Washington for nearly thirty years,
and who was one Of the first men-if
not the very first--to write regularly
for publication in the newspapers let

his fame as the champion of the theory

seemed to be not greatly moved by
Haynes very powerful arguments and
oratory was Daniel Webster Mr.
Webster, with great dignity and cour-
tesy but very formally, crossed the
Senate chamber and said a few words
very formally and very politely. to
Senator Hayne. The South Carolina
Senator gracefully bowed his aclxnowl-
edgments, and it was presumed by all
that Webster had spoken in a COM

his formal dignity, returned to his

SIGNING THE BILL

q ONE of our friends who are very much in
- terested in the Public Utilities Commission
bill are apprehensive that in the play of politics
at Dover the Public Utilities Commission bill will
be lost, or if it should not be lost that the Gov
ernor will fail TO sign it.
So far as the Governors signing the bill is
concerned, we have no fear on that score. He
knows that the sentiment Of the people in this
city is for a commission; that the business men
favor It, not that it is going TO do away with all
obstacles but that it is the only step that can be
taken which promises TO deal satisfactorily with
the public utility question
We do not for a moment suppose that Governor
Pennewill would stand in the way of Public
Utilities Commission.
