A LEGISLATIVE INNOVATION-

' South Dacota has adopted an

ding that the electors of the state shall have a. direct control over all legisla- tion. The central provision is that when a law has been enacted which is obnoxious to, or against the senti- ments of any number of the people, if five per cent of the electors petition against it the law shall be submitted to a popular vote and if a majority of those voting are found to be against it, the law shall become at once re- pealed.

This is a modification of the Swiss

referendum, and its adoption shows the tendency to bring the law-making of the state into more direct touch with the people. It is however, a rather doubtful experiment, the re- sult of which will be watched with interest. When it is tried out we shall see whether the people will ex- ercise any more discretion in regard to law-making and law-repealing than they now do in selecting their re- presentatives in parliament.

The proposed endownment for~the

Gordon Memorial Collego at Khar- toum hu been quickly subscribed, mainly because Lord Kitchener, in the fulness of his present popularity, has so heartily, recommended it and demonstrated its probable utility. _

News comes by the round-about

way of Bombay that a British force is descending the Nile from Uganda to meet the force which is making its way upward from Khartoum. The Uganda troops are Sepoys, from In- dia, who were sent ayear ago to Africa. and have since been employed there.

The Northwest legislature, in

which party politics do not count for much because they have a coalition goverumerlt, appears to be pretty equally divided between Liberals and Tories. One account gives 16 of the former to 15 of the latter, while another gives 17 Liberals to 14 Con-

servatives.

The marine underwriters have in-

formation that between lst J ulyl 1897 and lst July, 1898 there were

of all kinds, whose aggregate tonnage was 740,726 ions. Of these 500 were British ‘ind 313 American, or very nearly one halfof the total.

\Vha.t is not generally known about

Lord Kitchener is that he is a profound oriental scholar and the author of a work on Palestine and the synagogues of Galilee-about tliclast kind of ii book that a military man would be expected to write. In this ` particular he re~eiiibles Gordon.

The Sackville Post reports that pro-

bably a larger amount was oxpended, in that town this year in building operations than in any former year of its history. This seas0n’s nearest rival in that particular was last sea- son. Snckville is having a “growing time”,as the Toronto Globe would say. _ I

A-@._..,_

Recently before the police magis-

trate of Toronto a man was fined for refusing to assist a policeman in mak- ing an arrest when called upon to as- , sist. Yet such is the law of the land. The criminal code of Canada makes such refusal an indictoble offence punishable with six months imprison- ment, unless “reasonable excuse” . be given. The average citizen may not be aware that he is liable at any time to be compelled to assist in ar- resting a desperado who is more thap amaich for the policeman, and the duty might be a very unpleasant,and, even a dangerous one, but law is law

whether reasonable or not.
