Governor Campbell Continues His
Testimony.

WASHINGTON. February 4.-Governor
Campbell was before the special House
committee on the ballot box forgery again
today. In the course of his testimony
he said Editor Halstead had been forced
to admit that he did not intend to use the
paper until just before the election. This
explained why he did not consult with
Senator Sherman and others. Then, too,
he hoped it would be- too late for any
proof beyond his (Campbell's) denial TO
be produced, and thus defeat his election.
If he believed that the paper was genuine,
said the witness, he would have pub
ished it at once. and ended the cam

The resolution offered by School Di-
rector Whaling in the Board of Education
Monday night, requiring the Secretary OF
the Board in his monthly reports to item.
izs the expenditures, giving the amounts
paid out and the names of the persons to
whom the payments are made, was GER
tainly timely and appropriate resolu-
ton. The public are entitled to this
information, and unless it appears in tie
monthly reports the public will not get
it. At this time, when every nerve
should be strained to keep down the
municipal expend ditures, it is the duty of
the Board of Education to take the peo-
pie into it's confidence so that they can
see If there are not outlays that can be
dispensed with or materially cut down.
For the Board to arbitrarily ignore a
resolution of this important character is to
raise the presumption that the members
OF that body ale not desirous to submit
the expenditures of the Department to
the rigid scrutiny Of the public. This
may not be the fact, but it is nevertheless
true that there is a wide spread idea
abroad that the School Department is
being run upon much more lavish scale
than proper economical management
would warrant. The people want to get

have warranted that tribunal in deciding,
when the question wac before them, that
the charter could only be passed by bill
through the Legislature. One fails to see
the reason for declaring charter valid
instrument as whole, whilst its pro-
visions fall piece-mesl before the
adverse judgments of the Supreme
Court as rapidly as they are put
to the test. AS the Supreme
Court has already held that where
general laws come in conflict with the
provisions of the charter, the latter are
superseded, it will only require few
more adverse decisions Of the court OF last
resort, and the enactment of few more
general laws covering the articles in the
charter, to wipe that instrument out oi
existence entirely. A very radical amend
ment to the Constitution on the subject

before any plan of local government we
may ADOPT will bs of any use to US.

Den01fshfng the City Charter.

The Supreme Court has interpreted
away another provision of our city char
ter in deciding that Police Justices can
not be elected under it. Thus, little by
little, the instrument is wiped out, until
it is now difficult to say what portion of
it will stand the test of scrutiny of the
Supreme Court. AS we understand the
reasoning of the present decision, the
Police Justices would have been legally
in Office il the city charter had passed
the Legislature by bill instead of only
having been adopted by resolution.
The Constitution requires that the
Legislature shall establish all in.
ferior courts that may be required in
any incorporated city or town, or city and
county, and it is held that the creation
of these offices through the mere adop-
tion Of the charter by resolution of the
Legislature is not euch creation of the
courts as is contemplated by the organic
law. In other words they are not created
and established by an act of the Legis.
lature. As these objections would have
been avoided if the Legislature had
adopted the charter by bill instead of
resolution, the question arises, why was
not the charter adopted by bill? 1t
could have been as readily passed in one
shape as the other. In this connection we
are impressed with the idea that the
same reasoning which has led the
Supreme Court to declare the Office of
Police Justice illegally established would
