oppose the report of any charter that will

oppose the report of any charter that will
put that Commission in peril.
This is the situation, and It confirms the
position of the REcoRD-UNIoN in every
particular and detail from the first day
when it approved of the erection of the
Commission to this, when, after all these
years of trial Of the system, it opposes It's
destruction This, however, is to be said,
that the new Constitution of 1879, the
amendments of 1887, the enactments OF
1889, the proposed constitutional amend
ment of 1889, to be voted upon in 1890,
the fate Of the Oakland new charter and
the conflicting opinions of eminent coun-
sci as well as the decisions of the Courts
cited by Mr.. Deylin, are calculated to
confuse the public mind and involve it in
maze of doubt The question, therefore,
for the Trustees to now decide is whether
the city can afford the expense Of solving
these doubts or the assumption Of the
risks: or, if the Board of Freeholders is
chosen. whether it will be wise for it to re-
port a new chaster?
In the meantime, let it be kept in mind
that if the proclamation calling an cleo
ton remains unrecalled, Board will be
chosen, since no vote against it is possible !;
that is to say, if there are but twenty votes
cast any fifteen citizens receiving eleven of
them will be elected. Any agitation look
ing to the defeat of the Board at the polls
is, therefore, out of the question, and the
REcoRD-UNIoN will not favor it. If the
proclamation remains, this journal will adj
vocate election of the Citizens ticket,
and when it is elected, as it will be if an
election is held, it will oppose any step by
its members that will involve the possible
destruction of the Funded Debt Commits
sion.
It is learned that the Trustees have
themselves become so impressed with the
involvement of the questions considered,
that they have requested the attorneys
named upon their ticket to consult and
advise the Board whether ii is the part of
wisdom to hold the election in the light
of all the developments referred to. So,
too the gentlemen nominated upon the
Citizens ticket have resolved to meet and
consider these questions, and the result of
their deliberations, we doubt not, viii early
be made known.

THE NEW CHARTER.
The People Are Carefully Considering
the PrOnnsition.

The People Are Carefully Considering
the Proposition.
Up to few days ago the people of the
city generally seemed to be paying very
little attention to the matter of framing a
new charter, though the subject has been
before the Trustees for several months. So
many weaknesses in the old charter had
been pointed out from time to time that
the Trustees concluded that it was the al
most unanimous sentiment of the people
that new charter ought to be framed, and
for that reason decided, several months
ago, that they would call an election for
fifteen Freeholders for that purposs early
in this year. This announcement met
with no opposition except from few gem
tlemen who believed that the adoption of
new charter would destroy the work of
the Funded Debt Commission, and the ma
jority of the people who had given the
legal propositions attention seemed TO
think that new charter could be framed
that would preserve all the coed work OF
that Commission.
The Trustees, therefore, proceeded to
name fifteen Freeholders to be voted for on
January 30th, and at this stage of the pro-
ceedings the people have commenced to
wake up to n realization of the importance
of the step to be taken and are now dis
cusSing earnestly the question as to whether
1t is wise to attempt to frame charter lust
at this time.
Interest in the matter was intensified
yesterday when the RECORD UNION pub
lished Mr.. nevlin's communication to the
Board of Trustees, which threw new
hight upon the subject. The decision
of the Supreme Court in the case of All
You, declaring invalid the Police Court of
the city OF O1kland as created by its new
charter, and which rescbes other munich
pal regulations, seems to many thoughtful
persons to put an entirely new face upon
affairs and to cloud the whole question
The Board of Trustees on Monday called
upon the lawyers who bad been nominated
by it to serve as Fresholders for opinions
on the subject.
1t is understood that the gentlemen who
have been named on the Citizens ticket are
to hold meeting and discuss the PROPOSE
ton, and it is possible they may decide it
will be better not to frame a new charter
now, though most of them have been
strongly in favor of it up to the present
time.
On the other hand, there are many who
feel certain that new charter can be
framed without destroying the work of the
Funded Debt Commission, and few who
think it would be good thing to destroy
the Commission and refund the debt. The
opinion seems to be general, however. that
some definite conclusion should be arrived
at as to whether it is advisable to adopt a
new charter at this time, before an election
for Freeholders is held and the heavy
attendant expenses incurred

duced. The sale of seats begins tomorrow.
Miss Jarbesu has large company of
competent people with her, and has just
concluded long and successful engage
ment in San Francisco. The press there
generally commended her entertainments.
The Argonau alone found fault with the
pieces. Starlight especially, because it has
not sufficient literary balance. But Jarbeau
defends by saying that it is fanciful and
mirtbful, and is precisely what it was il
tended to be-sparkling, light, full of sur
prises and adapted especially to the versatil-
ity of the star, and the introduction of
catchy and pretty melodies.

RAILROADS AND THE SNOW.

The labors in which the officers and en-
ployes Of the Southern Pacific Company
are now engaged to relieve blockaded
trains are heroic in character, and proba-
bly, could not be surpassed in energy or
wise direction. 1t is almost marvellous,
with such a great number of trains blocked
in the snow, the passengers virtually i'm
prisoned and suffering discomfort, that no
complaints have been heard. Either hui
man nature has suddenly improved, or else
the Southern Pacific Company has been so
unsparing in its effort to relieve the situa-
ton that there is no ground for complaint
sufficiently substantial for even carpers to
hang a charge upon. The truth is, that
the visitations of this winter have been so
phenomenal that no human power could
have overcome the obstacles interposed to
transportation across the mountains in any
brief time. 1t is 4 question of patience
and endurance while the armies of shovel
ers, train men and engineers battle with
the elements. When the enormous hight
of the snow-drifts are considered, the
depth of the canyons in which some of
the trains are imprisoned, the severity of
the weather upon the mountain nights and
the enormous cost Of clearing Il passage
way through the snow are taken into ac-
count, coupled with the difficulties and ex-
penses of feeding nearly three thousand
people at such distance from all markets,
and at points to which the transportation
of food is almost prohibited by the snow
drifts, except by men on snowshoes, it will
be realized what a vast problem engages
the attention of the railroad people, and
how difficult task they have in hand.
That they have done all that human agency
can do to open the roads east and north,
over the Sierra and through the Shasta
ranges, and to care for the snow-bound
passengers imprisoned on those lonely alti-
tudes, is on all hands freely admitted, and
the confession is compliment to the man
agement, of which it has every reason to
be proud. 1t is altogether unlikely that
the carriers by rail will ever be "caught
out" in this manner again by the storm
king. The new appliances for cutting
pathways through the snow and for rapidly
clearing the tracks, will be brought into
such early play, and be so numerously en-
ployed, that all future storms of such Sc
verify as that which has prevailed for
now nearly two months, will be success
fully met and overcome and traffic be but
slightly interrupted.

WHERE the demand is for wise counsel
for conservatism, the experience of age
is needed; when vigorous action is de-
manded youth is called upon. When
youth sneers at age it manifests the at
sence of wisdom; when age decries youth,
it testifes to its lack of the sentiment of
justice. Youth and old age are each essen
tial to the worlds progress; society needs
both, and the influences that under-esti-
mate the caution of the one and the inn
petuosity and courage of the other, are
enemies of society.
