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.
A
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.
