the JOURNAL with a photograph oi
his sheep mountain hunting camp al
1t appeared on the occasion Of the re-
cent hunt by himself and w. Well
man. On this trip they bagged eigh.
teen deer, six mountain sheep and
four antelope. The picture shows the
bulk of this lot of game artistically
posed around the tent. while Messrs.
Lisk and Wellman occupy the fore
ground conducting an animated con.
versation as to what they shall kill
next, while the old white horse looks
intelligently on and seems to say that
they had better leave something for
somebody else to kill.

The Mayor oil Philadelphia ABOUT 10 DC
chosen will be the first to preside over
that city under the new charter. The
new features OF the charter have been ma
tured alter long and great dellberation.
They 20 to the root Of municipal govern
ment, and although they do not leave
anything to be desired, they arc in the
direction Of q concentration OF power and
responsibility in the mayor.
This is in the light Of the best thought
and experience; for where the Mayor Is
head In name only tho city government is
practically without head, as In Wheel
ing, and 1t may happen as II does in
Wheeling, that the several executive de.
partments pull their own several ways,
and there 10 no well understood persistent
motive In the administration Of Affairs.
Philadelphia discovered, after an experl-
ence scarcely less bitter than that Of New
York, that there must be responsible
and powerful head, or the interests Of
million Of people would continue to tuler
by asystem, very convenient to jobbers,
Of tax and diAuSsd responsibility and
power. There lie Btill more that ought to
be required Of the May or, but in view Of
the duties which the new charter does
impose upon him he Is to DO paid $4,000
ayear for four years, the highest salary
paid to any Mayor in America. The SAL.
AIRY is not too great for the duties, and yet
Il ought to be large enough 10 command
services q high order. The Mayor Is not
eligible TO succeed himself.
10 Wheeling we pay our Mayor moth.
Ing, expect a great deal Of him and leave
him without plwOr to satisfy ex oGctatlon.
With our smaller population we have, Of
course, less difficult problem to deal
with, but instead Of dealing with the
problem we rather lot things drift.
Whether the city to DO governed be large
or sn,all there ls tho same need Of good
government, and no system Of govern.

not the best that can be obtained by that
