Tho object of direct legislation Is not to abolish roprosontatlvo govern ment but io secure trtilyroprosontutivo govornmont. Switzerland tins roproHontatlvo government; tho United StatcB with out It has IrroBponslblo party government. 'TJjo referendum would conaorvo tie right of tho pooplo to roprtisontn 'Ttivo govornmont, and also tho pcoulb's individual, political and prdporly tights. ' ( Such a system Is thoreforo conHorvntlvo. ' THOME WHO OPPOSE THE REl-'ERDUM PREFER THE IltltESPOX SMILE PAINT HVHTEM WHICH EXISTS, BECAUSE UNDER IT'THF PEOPLE DO NOT RULE. Tho modern rofororrilum wns Invented In tho United Stntos. It has boon In constnift use hIiico colonial days in every Btato In tho most Important legislation, nnniol, constitutional onnurjuonts. As to ordinary loglslutlbn its merits havo boon oft on touted In tho Unltud Stuluu, and for a third of a century systematically In Switzer land. iwnc MAIN MERIT OK THE REI-'EHENDl'M Iff THAT IT EDUCATES THE ELKOTOHATE IN AFFAIRS OF GOVERNMENT. A pooplo who never made mistaken In exorcising governing pow-r novor learned how to govern, and thoreforo havo uovor governed. .In the government of cities tho governing muBcron of cltlssonshlp havo become atrophied and oltlons aro looted by tholr export" governors. Tho supremo court of Now York has dellnod franohlsos to bo Mn branch of thu sovorolgu power of tho state subsUMIng In a porijon or corporation by ti grant from the statos." Hut If It Is sovereign power It en n not be granted. U Is, thoreforo, merely tho oxerelso of sovereign power that Is granted tho right of governing. Hut the right of governing whloli hug buon dologuted cannot lognlly bu re-delegated by the govornmont U n person or corporation. Thu United States supremo court hns dellnod franchises to bo contract1 iiuiilo by tho agents of the pooplo, and to bo considered as tho acts of tho people because tho pooplo can act by these agents, RUT IT IS NOT AND NEVER WAS TRUE THAT THE PEOPLE CAN MW ONLY HY" AGENTS. THEY CAN AND HAVE ACTED DlRECl'LY FOR OVER A CENTURY IN MAKING AND AMENDING CONSTITUTIONS. When they rosumo tho powor df ncttngj dlroctly in ordinary logUlntlon thoy ran doclaro void acts of agents which aro ultra vires, or lllognl, ns delegating governing powor. Thoy will thus make tholr sovereignty a ronllty In tho groat question )l franchise grants which concerns tho whole nation. It Is not Important, howovor, to guess how tho people will uso their power when thoy recover It. It is not necessary to defend tho tovorolgn people against tho disloyal waiumpllon that thoy will uct unjustly or unwlsoly or against tho In terests of tho whole body of tho people. It Is Important to observe that thoy will then havo tho powor to sco that tho public lutorottta nro placed first; and It is well to understand that under tho present system tho public Interests aro not paramount. Tho question ts altogether ouo of rights. Tho right and powor of tho sovorolgn pooplo resides In tho people, and la expressed by thorn In tholr corporate capacity by means of majority votes nt tho polls. Naval Pigeons to Ho Ousted.

TrIU bottU fr, I Ejilc Power of Atiicricnn Statistics. America, Indeed, is not merely great In a degree which Imagination finds almost as difficult to grasp as to realize astronomical quantities. America Is still growing, and grow ing tit a rato of which home-keeping wits among us can hnrdly form the faintest conception. When wo are prepared to believe the largest con ception wo enn rise to tho truth out strips tho estimate before wo havo tlmo to mend our Ideas. Tnko, for Instance, tho develop ment of tho Canadian Dominion. Its commercial expansion is magnificent, and, in tlmo it will become a Btato for poptilotiBiicsa and wealth second to none, not oven to ks republican neighbor. But hero Is some danger lest Englishmen should suppose that In Canada' at least tho omplro will bo made itsolf, and that tho im petus of natural resources Is begin nlng to place it .beyond competition as respects rato of progress. But this Is so for from tho fact that wo can only fairly rcnllzo what Is going on In tho united States when w? measure its wonderful march, evo.i against tho prosont advance of Can ada. Tho Dominion Is receiving emi grants nt tho rato of nearly 300,000 a year. IJut they aro bumped lrito tho Industrial and pollticnl system of tho United States at tho rato or moro than n million a year, nnd, fast ns our greatest colony Increases, the number of new citizens across the border multlpllos four times ns fast. That Is tho tromondous fact; thn republic Is adding, and for soma poi lod will almost certainly continue to ndd, an lncromont of inhabitants ovory doendo equal lo the wholo white population of tho king's dominions outside tliosu Islands.
