Needed Amendments.
Editor Evening News ;

Editor Evening News
In anwser to your inquiries for IN.
views, the following are the amend
ments I suggest to the charter in add
ton to some which understand hav'
been amended
l ask that the charter shall b
changed as to bounds to correspond
with the spirit Of the Kendall resolu
ton.
That the criminal provision, as tt
failure Of parties to FIJI up or grade
streets, shall be stricken out.
That the provision requiring an &C.
tive inspection Of the conduct Of per-
sons and premises, be changed to an
active inspection of premises for sani.
tary purposes.
That the 25 per cent Of the assessed
value Of property which can be levied
to improve streets, be cut down to IL
per cent.
That the provision, as to the mayor
acting in condemning property, be cut
out and the state law substituted, as
the provision is void.
That the provision as to closing sa.
looms, theatres and ball rooms, be so
amended as to provide for their clos
ing when the quiet Of the nieghborhood
should be maintained, or the public
peace requires.
That the provision which allows the
city to issue bonds or borro " money to
pay indebtness, to purchase gas works,
water works, improve streets, and open
streets and alleys should be amended
as follows:
"Prorided, That no money arising
from the sale Of bonds should ever be
applied directly or indirectly to the
purchase Of streets Or alleys, and that
no money shall ever be borrowed for
that purpose.
If this is not done the limit of bond
ed indebtness will be reached, and the
city will have nothing to show for it
except streets, through mems property
that would be yalueless without them,
and under the provision as it now
stands, it will be next to impossible
for an honest council to prevent the rob-
berry of the taxpayers as has heretofore
been done, and dishonest one could
load the city with debt for the benefit
Of few favored ones. With this
amendment the purchase of streets and
alleys wherever necessary would have
to be paid for from the general revenue.

JNO y CARROLL
OR WONDERFUL GROWTH

Oth On I'm Ii
The population of the United States on
the LIST of January, 1889, was probably
close to ca, 500, 900. For the immigration
during the previous twelve months had
been 5lS,5ls. as officially reported, and at
the rate Of increase maintained for three
previous decades, with the actual immi-
grafton added each year, the population
should have reached the figures above
given. At the same rate, if the imInigra-
ton during the year and n half remaining
should amount to 500, 900, the population
at the date of the next census, July l.,
1890, would be about 81, 0 0 900. The
increase is now more than 1000 each
month, exclusive of immigration, or about
$500 every day.
IL will be suggested that if these est.
mates are correct the gain in population
for the current decade would be about 81
per cent, a greater ratio of increase than
was realized in the previous decade, which
it it hardly philosophical to expect. But
it would have been hardly philosophical
To expect a gain of 1886, 900 by immi-
grafton alone in the last eight years and a
half against 2,SI2,000 in the decade end
ing with 1870. 1t is obvious that any es-
Inmates which fail to take account of the
unprecedented immigration since 1880
must be in error. Immigration alone has
added to the population of 1850 over 9
per cent IN eight and a half years, while
the immigration of the previous ten
years added only u per cent to the pop
ulation of 1870.
1t is when one considers the growth of
industries and commercial facilities that it
is essential to keep in mind this unprece-
deuted increase in population. The new
population to be fed. clothed, housed and
tran sportcd numbers ! $50, 900 every year.
That means, roughly, 5000, 600 bushels
more wheat, 10000, 900 pounds more
sugar, over 100, 0OO, 900 pounds more beef,
H. 600 pounds more wool, 1000 miles
more railroad, and so on through the
whole list of products. Unless the nation
keeps pace in each branch of production
with this remarkable growth in popula
ton, demand will soon tread upon the
heels OF supply. If the nation produces a
little too much Of anything for the popu-
lation of yesterday it may be sure that the
population of to morrow will want the
whole and more.

Scientific Teaching Of Morals.

Moral philosophy fell To my share.
No books wero used. My methods
wero quito similar TO those of Pro
fessor Straight. In n series of discus
sions, extending over several weeks,
the human being was taken where
Professor Straight left him, and the
relations developed that existed be-
tween him and other human beings.
Needs were shown to exist by virtue
Of the constitution of things" and
deeper than this we did not attempt
to go.
Human beings were seen to be po-
~tentially equal in needs, hence the ne
cessity for equality before the law,
that all might have opportunity for
their natural development. Out of
needs grew rights, and out of rights
duties. A study of experience soon
showed hat duty assumed two phases
positive and negative. Confucius is
credited with a maxim covering the
ground of negative duty-forbidding
injury to your neighbor; Jesus enun-
ciated a law that summarized both pos
tive and negative duty.
Next, tho principles derived from
this preliminary study were applied
to the conditions which exist in school,
home and neighborhood. Why
should n person work2 What time
should be given to recreation1 What
shall we do with tho tramp9 What
with worthy but destitute men and
womeni What with needy orphans7
The discussion was conducted al
most solely by the pupils, When il
took too wide a range, the teacher
quietly led it back to the question at
issue. james Johonnot in Popular

NO SWEEPING CHANGES.

There is one section of President Har
rison's address that will be read with pro.
found interest. We refer to his refer
ences to civil service reform. They con-
tain one very significant sentence. 1t is
this: " shall need, and heads of depart
ments shall need, time for inquiry and de-
liberation This is n lair warning to
persistent Office seekers that all claims to
consideration will first be thoroughly in.
vestiGated and if anybody expects an i'm
mediate clean sweep he will be very much
disappointed.
In President Harrison's letter of accept
ance he laid special stress upon civil ser
vice reform 1t is now quite evident that
this was not done for campaign effect.
While 1t may have been evidence of great
political sagacity it was at the same time
simply the expression of his own personal
views on the subject.
Every indication now points to the fact
That no sweeping changes will be made in
the federal offices of the country. Demo
Gratis who At present hold office and have
performed the duties a~ppertmning To
them satisfactorily will be retained until
their terms expire.
II might be well therefore for frantic
patriots to POSSESS their souls in peace.
According to Harrison persistency in Office
seeking will not be considered a frst-class
recommendation. Therefore, it would
be well to 20 slow and not expect too
much from the president in the next few
months.
