A COMING REFORM.
The Chronicle would be glad to see the
republican platform favor the initiative
and referendum, and believes that the
expressed desire is merely in advance of
what the party will do in convention.
The republican party has orieinated
many beneficent latvs, and while it can
not lay claim to being' the originator of
this one, it can none the less recognize a
good thing presented by others, and as
fearlessly espouse it. Being so far off
the beaten track, the natural timidity
of the democratic party will prevent
them from openly favoring it. .All
the reforms of the' past thirty years
have had to be championed by the re-
publican party. All new legislation of
an upbuilding nature has been formu
lated by it. While it would be infin
itely pleasanter for the republican party
to have both originated and championed
in the United States this method of
lawmaking of forty years' duration in
Switzerland, the parly can as plainly
recognize its merits ' when brought for
ward by others. That it has merits,
.-and those of a pronounced nature, -cannot
be denied. . No argument against' it
has yet been made, and there dare be
mono made by any political party. The
"greatest antagonism ' it can receive is
non-committal silence, and this not for
long.
Since this system or law-making will
be new to many of our readers, we will
.define in brief the basic principles of the
--initiative - and referndum. By this
system, first, every citizen has the right
to propose a measure of law to his fellow
citizens, this principle being known as
the initiative. Second, the majority
.shall actually enact the law, by balloting!
i-a the polling places, and this is known
-as the referendum. ' '
The following additional information
is .gleaned from a pamphlet, 50,000 of
-which were mailed toihe voters of Ore-
--gon by the Central Labor Council of
Portland : "
In nearly all states of our Union the
' referendum is used, for making and
: amending constitutions. Proposals to
- ussae bonds for state, county, city, town
and district debts are almost univer
sally referred to a direct vote of the
people' interested. If the people are
wise, enough to make their constitutions
they are certainly wise enough to make
their by-laws.
Any man advocating a worth' law,
seconded by 100 citizens, can bring it to
a vote within a year, while bad laws are
as easily repealed. By constant study of
law-making the people are ready for
wise action at all times. Zurich state,
. Switzerland, population 340,000, and .the
city, population 92,000, for forty years
have permitted no law, tax levy or ap
propriation of public money to be made
without a majority vote of the citizens,
and they have no beggars or pau
:pers. The Swiss laws are by no
means perfect, but their educational
system is so good that one of - our minis
ters to that country said it seemed that
-the principal business of the nation was
.teaching school ; every Swips can read
And write.,
. - Many of our laws at present are not
-enforced.. But a law which receives a
majority by the referendum will be en
forced, because it is supported by pub
lic sentiment. Again, the indiscrimin
ate use of money cannot prevail to get
a bad law through, and lobbying will be
a lost art. Trading of votes will also
- 'Cease, which is responsible for many ex-
isting bad laws. '
The last page of the pamphlet gives a
test of the intelligence of the public, as
shown in California on a vote of the peo
ple on nine different propositions sub
mitted to the people by the legislature,
proving that they who are intelligent
enough to . vote for a man who may or
may not accede to their desires, are in-
telligent enough to vote on the desires
themselves. - '" ''"".
It is pleasing to know that the legisla
ture of New York has a bill before it
making hazing a penal offense, classing
it with mayhem, and a penitentiary of
fense. Every state in the Union should
enact a similar law.
Evidently a fierce fight is raging to
day in Brazil. All Brazilian wires are
down and not a word of news can be ob
tained. . Everything was ripe for this
great marine struggle. The gunboats
of the government forces and the bellig
erents were anchored in the harbor near
the various forts which are near each
other, and the decks cleared for action
Perhaps the strongest vessel of either
party is the Aquidaban, belonging to the
insurgents, which has fearlessly sailed
in and out of the harbor, despite the
fiercest firing that could be made against
her by the fortresses. But Peixoto has
recently received some heavily-armored
vessels from France, and it remains to
be seen which side possesses the heavi
est armament and the most expert gun
ners. It is not expected that the loss of
life will be so great as in the primitive
days of the spear and catlass,-nor yet
the Remington rifle, but in a single in
stant, by a well-directed projectile of
dynamite, property may be destroyed
worth hundreds of thousandsof dollars.
War today is expensive, and arbitration
must be its final solution. '
THE OTHER SIDE.
The
KlngMey Directors' Action
corning the School Teacher.
Con.
Kixgsley, March 12, 1894. Editor
Chronicle In looking over The Chbojj
icle of March 8th I notice a com muni
cation from Kingsjey headed "A Teacher
Rejected Because He Enforced Disci'
pline During Recess," which sounds
very much like the wail of a defeated
candidate. He says, "My- attention
was directed to a discussion between
two gentlemen, a director and a clerk;
subject,, dissension in the commuaity
about engaging the services of a teacher
who had taught successfully three pre
vious terms." He also says, "A
teacher's certificate is his passport,"
which is correct to a certain extent. No
one doubts the said teacher's educational
abilities; but we seriouslv donbt his
mental abilities. He says, "His school
record should establish his character,
which had never been assailed." Here
again we disagree, for he was nnable to
get a recommendation from the direc
tors of the two schools he taught pre
vious to coming to Kingsley. The ex
director mentioned made the remark
that he (the teacher) was so cranky that
he would not let the children name
their own play on the play ground, but
play his play or not play at all. .
Now, the matter stands like this:
Three or four individuals, for selfish
motivespf their own, undertook to force
a teacher on the district that the people
did not want, and they zot left, .hence
the sore spot. Now, to make the mat
ter plainer, our district clerk enrolled
forty-five or fifty of school age in this
district, while the average attendance
did not exceed six or seven at the most,
notwithstanding the fact that the teach
er s report snowed an average attend
ance of fifteen ; .but that van also be as
sailed, and we deiy him to substantiate
the fact that he had an average- attend
ance of 'fifteen. Now, it seems to me
that any sane person can see there is
something wrong, when out of that
large number drawing school money,
there would be such small attendance
at' school. Under these circumstances
I would prefer a teacher with a third
grade certificate, who gave satisfaction,
to one with a first grade certificate, that
was objectionable to the majority of the
parents ot children of school age.
Ose Who Was- These.
Mothers, and especially nursing math
era, need the strengthening support and
help that comes with Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription . It lessens the pains
and burdens of ehild-bearlng, insures
healthy,- vigorous offspring and pro
motes an abundant secretion oft nourish
ment on the part of the mother. It is
an invigorating tonic, made. especially
for women, perfectly harmless in any
condition pf the female system, as it
regulates and promotes all the natural
functions and never conflicts with them.
The "Prescription" builds np, strength
ens, and cures. In all the chronic weak
nesses and disorders that afflict women,
it is guaranteed to benefit or cure or the
money is refunded.
For every case of Catarrh which they
cannot cure, the proprietors of Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy agree to pay
$500 in cash. You're cured by its mild,
soothing, cleansing, and healing proper
