THE WORK OF rHE COMPRESSION.

The propositions so far presented 10 the
charter commission have been character
ixed by q realization OF the fact that the
best kind Of charter is that which can be
most readily adapted to the varying con-
disions in q community's growth.
Chimerciai and tentative efforts to make
perfectly detailed system. such as were
advocated by theoretic enthusiasts before
the election. have been properly avoided,
and the charter promises to form a basis
for the city government. modelled upon
lines which may be filed out from time 10
lime as expediency requires. and 10 which
necessary amendments can be made with
out disturbing fundamental provisions.
Stability is one of the most essential fac
tors in municipal government. 1t is of
less consequence that every contingency
be provided for at once than that the de-
veiopment of the city shall be guided hv
general principles of sound government.
The legislative authority created by the
constitution viii be fully competent 10

the rsmiacstions OF municipal Law.
A proper dignity will attach to the
Office of the chief executive by the PROPOSE

working hard for success. There are
nightly meetings Of the leaders and an ef-
fort l. being made al along the line to
work the brethren up to high pitch OF en-

The duty Of the Republicans Is clear.
