Possibilities of Direct Legislation.

J. W. Sullivan, the author of Direct Legislation, thus recounts what the Swiss have done by the initiative and referendum: “They have made it easy at any time to alter their canton and federal constitution that is, change even radically the organization of society, the social contract, ard thus to permit a peaceful revolution at the will of the majority. They have simplified the structure of government, held their ■ officials as servants, rendered bureauocracy impossible, converted their representatives to simple committeemen and show that the parliamentary system is not essential to law-mak-ing. They have written their laws in language s) plain that a layman may be a judge in the highest court. They have frustrated monopolies, improved and reduced taxation, avoided incurring heavy public debts, and made a better distribution of their land than any other European country. They have practically given home rule in local affairs to every community. They have calmed disturbing political elements—the press is purified, the politicians disarmed, the civil service is well regulated. Hurtful partisanship is passing away. Since the people as a whole will never surrender their sovereignty, reactionary movement is possible only in case the nation should go backward. But the way is open forward. Social ideas may be realized in act and institution. Even now the liberty loving Swiss citizen can discern in the future a freedom in which every individual—independent, possessed in rights of nature's resources and in command of the fruits of his toil—may, at his will, on the sole condition that he respect the like aim in other men, pursue his happiness.”

Ben P. Parker, an old friend of the editor of the Pilot, has taken a place in the mechanical department of the paper. His home is in Atlanta where for two years he has been at work on Tom Watson’s great “People’s Party Paper.” Ben and his Brother Jesse set the type for several years on the only populist (greenback) paper in Georgia. It was published at Douglasville and was edited by their father, Chas. T. Parker, whose face is familiar to all the stalwart reformers who have attended third party conventions since the days of Peter Cooper. Georgia to-day has as many populists papers as democratic, and the woods are full of their supporters, who have for four years outnumbered their corrupt op ponents, but “been deprived of legislative power by flagrant frauds. Those who know the facts believe that another election will see the complete triumph of the party, the beginning of which originated in the humble printing office of the Weekly Review.

Presbyterian Church Notice.

The new Presbyterian church is progressing as rapidly as possible, all considered. The nonarrival of material has delayed the work, but now that all which is necessary is ready, it will go up more quickly. The lack of money will be the only thing that could delay progress; but as all subscriptions'’ are now due (except those subscribed at the laying of the corner stone) it is to be hoped that all subscribers will pay their subscriptions as soon as possible, and will be so kind as ts hand the money either to the secretary of the board of trustees, Mrs. C. D. Martin, or to E. D. Rhoades, the treasurer, who will give receipts. It will save time and much work.

Notice is hereby given that all assessments on the Dayton street Tile Drain are due, and those that remain unpaid Nov. 23, 1895, will have a penalty of 10 per cent and 6 per cent interest added. The only way to escape is to pay up. C. C. Starr. Town Treasurer. Lost-A Bunch ofKeys. About six weeks ago.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. NOV. 21, 1895.

Morbid Curiosity Seekers.

A prize fight is said to have taken place in Rensselaer last Saturday night, upon which considerable money was bet. It is current report that the “mill” was a hippodrome affair, and that it was known t oa select few who the winner would be, even to the number of rounds that would be fought. Verily this town is taking on metropolitan airs. Prize fighting is not only disreputable but it is criminal, and the line between agenuine knock-out battle and a sparring contest is too slight to be readily distinguished. The town and coqnty officials would be perfectly safe in absolutely .stopping both. Such exhibitions are demoralizing and their influence extends much further than to those who witness it. It is pleasant to record that this contest was refused the use of the opera house, though more than five times as much would have been paid for its use than was received from the opera company which afterwards engaged it for that night. The opera house manager should be given credit for attempting to give the public only clean entertainments, and if he fails it is fair to suppose that he is more disappointed and deceived than the public. And it is not always that condemnations are just, as was evidenced by the disgraceful conduct of* the demonstrative larger part of the audience last Saturday night at the presentation of the opera “Galatea,” a high class production by an accomplished author. The talent that attempted to please a decidedly gross and unappreciative audience was better than is appearing in first class theatres of metropolitan places, and by far superior to any that has visited Rensselaer this year, the Jennie Linn quartette not excepted. Reference is made to the “Galeatea” in this article to illustrate the fact that this town has a numerous class of theatre patrons who are led to attend shows through a morbid curiosity to witness something indecent. That class was well represented there Saturday night and probably would have been much more at home at the prize fight. They came undoubtedly to see a “popular variety show,” and being disappointed, proceeded to prove their own barren conception of what opera consists of. It was the fools as usual that laughed. It is true that but a portion of the audience was of this element of indignity, for there were present some of most cultivated musical critics of the town, people who came to hear “Galeatea,” because they knew it was an opera, and understood what it should be. They were pleased with the performance and freely complimented the effort. It is music, song of the richer class, that one expects in going to an opera, not acting of highest perfection, but in the play above refered to the acting was certainly fair. That there are sufficient people in Rensselaer, who appreciate these better entertainments, to make them popular by their patronage is certainly true, but they often fail to encourage the opera house manager by showing their classic countenances at the box office when he does put them on the boards. The prize fighting patrons never fail to patronize the shows they like, and the theatre business not being a philanthropic enterprise, it would tempt the best of men to look after the financial end a little more sharply when the . public is so careless in the matter.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of themucuos surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free, F. J. Chenny & Co. Toledo, O.
