THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM There are not a few who wan der what the initiative and refer ' endum really is. We think it . safe to say that a majority of citizen do not have a clear idea, not excepting our Populist friends, wTho have most promi nentia advocated it. It becomes a vital question 1 when the Democrats inaugurate it in their platforms as the Ohio Democrats did. - The Charlotte Observer man, who understands it well enough . to have gotten off many a good piece of humor on it says : "The initiative and referendum is of Swiss conception. ' It means that the people shall initiate leg islationthat is, by town meet ings, petition or otherwise, they shall surest legislation to the law making body, but that this legislation shall not take the form of law, until it shall have been referred to the people at the polls. This, in brief, is the initiativeand referendum. It is germane to add that Prof. A B .Hunt, writing in The Nation of September 1194, said that 'to ap ply the system in any State of our Union is plainly impos sible; thirty-nine fortieths of the statute books must still rest,, as now, on the character of the legislators.' And, again: - '.The experience of Switzerland seems to show four things: That the Swiss voters are not deeply in terested in the referendum ; that the referendum is' as likely to kill good as bad measures; that the initiative is more likely to suggest bad measures than good; that the referendum leads straight to the initiative. The referen dum in the United States would thar zfovQ probably be an attempt -to govern great communities by permanent town meetings.' " In view of the prominence given to that other Populist, is- a isSuiof ,the steotyjsed addreski'.'Brethren an&iSisters, " prchinglnuf4 State and national prisons, or one apt to dongratulate jhe audience on a large number present. f Raleigh jail contains three prisoners that'' most probably owe their dives to shrewd sheriffs that got-themjout of danger of the mobs. They ;are John Jeffries, who shotCapt. Barnes and. the two negroes from Durham that are charged with worse crime. Our capitol seems a veritable city of refuge. - , slurringly ac- sue which they cused us of stealing at Chicago there's a, kind of chill runs down the back through fear that a fel low may-fmdhi loose in Democratic cog on the initiative and referendum.

We have observed that while it is claimed that the dispatches from Manila are censored and that our successes have bean greatly exaggerated we hear, as leaked out truths, that Aguinaldo and his troops are in fine fight ing condition. What bewilders us is that along with these reali ties that run the . censor gauntlet we do not get the details Of bat tles in which ' 'Aggie" mopped the earth with the Americans. The Scientific American says that at a recent flower show in England, some sweet .pea vines were exhibited, 'which- were - grown from seed taken from the tomb of an Egyptian mummy buried about" 2,000 years ago. This, however1, is not altogether unique, for sprigs, we believe, have in several instances germi nated from the hands of mum mies of thousands of years. The process practiced by trip ancients kept vegetable life in complete suspension.-' The Loyal Man. The man whose house is the best in the land, -whose town is the beet in the country whose State is the best in tle Union, whose nation is the strongest in the world is a good-citizen whether he is a resident owner, a mechanic, a school teacher or a day laborer: He will do his trading at home, even if he does have to pay a little more. He will take his home paper, even if it is a size or two smaller than the big city papers. He will al ways say a good word for his home town and stand, by every enterprise it may champion; he will be loyal to every educational cause adopted in it and work for the success of the same in preference to that outside. Then as a reward for all this he will have prosperity and the highest regard . of his neighbors. Dur ham Sun. ; V ': An' v old lady :i living in this county ha ' been ' placed ' in the asylum here -' She imagined that she was going to marry a young professor of this city; and made extensive l : "preparations and waited for him all one day. She refuses to believe that he could have deceived her. On her person ; :rj ItepeaUhe Fifteenth. For seven of eigSt yearf.Tlie Times has been steadUy -arguing that 5all'. of s the t troubles lin-fihe South came from negro suffrage, that it was a crime to confer the suffrage. : upon the negroes en bloc, and, that the only, solution of the 1 difficulty ::is in taking away from them: v that suffrage ;that ought never to have been given them. The country atf large seems to. be now waking lip to the necessity of this, and it' is by no means certain that a move ment will not yet "be set on foot that'will sweep the country to disfranchise the negroes, leaving to each State the right to confer the suffrage upon individual ne groes as they show capacity to exercise it intelligently and dis creetly. . .( 1 It is not necessary to repeal the Fourteenth v amendment, for that amendment is not concerned with suffrage. It is the Fifteenth only that deals with the "suffrage. That amendment! provides that the right to vote shall not be abridged on account of race, color or previous conditions' pf servitude. All that is necessary, is to repeal-this and then each State can impose such conditions upon the, right to vote as that State may think important.' The first clause of the Four-', teenth amendment is one of the, wisest, most "beneficial and greatest pieces of legislation that ever came from the hands of man. It defines - citizenship of the United States, forbids' any State to abridge the privileges or immunities of such citizens, and forbids any State to deprive any person of life, . liberty or prop erty without due process of law, of deny to any person the equal protection of the laws. We will never consent to giving this great amendment up.. There are some other provisions of the Fourteenth amendment which we think could wisely be modi fied or abandoned, but this first clause is to remain forever. The two amendments are not to be confounded. ; The one is vicious, the other is in part, of the highest benefit. -Richmond Times.
