Tho Charter Eclectic .

There will be very interesting experiment tried
In THE city on Tuesday next-one which will de-
eide whe lher the people, who have 30 long suffered
from The mach nations of professional politicians,
are willing TO make an effort to emerge from the
DEGRADING position of slaves, or whether they have
really lost all sense OF setrespect, and are content
= o remain az they On that day the amended
charter will be submitted to them for their adop-
lion or rele cton, ind we shall see what course
they will take. We understand that an organiza-
ton has been formed Of poiticians-of men who
have been feeding on the corruption and waste
that have characterized the administration of our
municipal affairs for number of years past-who
are determined If possible, perpe,uate the existing
condition OF things, by defeating the new charter.
We hope our citizens will not allow them to sue
coed But to prevent them from dong 80, they
must vote ON the day of election in favor of the
measure.
In speaking of the ensuing election, the Csxrit'
a~d Eag~ue states that the dispensatlon of the
patronage of the national administration will be
affected by it, and that the permanent well being
OF the wing party demands that the wings put
forth their whole strength. This Is all fudge. 1t
Is not these accounts that the election on Tues
day next is an important one. What has the well
beng OF the wing party, or the dspensaton OF the
patronage of the national administration, to do
with the management of our municipal afalrs!
1t ID the question OF reform, as It is propssed to
the pc ople by The new charter, which makes this
an important election. If that charter be adopted,
we shall have some prospect OF the reform which
we 30 much need, and If 1t be rejected, we shall.
for an indefinite time to come, be cursed with
filthy streets, and be borne down by heavy taxes.
as we are at pre- sent.
