THE NEED OF OPERATIVE LAWS.

1t would be well if the charter revision
committee, which is an advisory body,
and therefore not bound to keep strictly
within its province where additional sug-
gestions might be valuable, could, before
its deliberations close, draft scheme by
which legislation necessary under the
charter be put into proper effect.
Much of the evident intention of the
present charter has been left to construc-
ton and rs consequence there seems to
have been considerable misconstruction.
Many of the questions which have puzzled
the council and perplexed the citizens
have arisen because, for want of experience
or lack of legislative diligence, reliance
has been placed upon the directory but
imperative provisions of the charter
which needed legislative action to vitalize
them.
1t may not be wise to give basic law
for every detail, but the best of intentions
will be frustrated unless specific ordi-
nances, within the prescribed charter
powers, are formulated.
This will, it is true, add to the gratuitous
labors of the charter committee, but the
members are generally philosophical
men, to whom the beneficial result of
their work will be sufficient incentive.

The production of steel rails in 1872 was
So, 991 tons at SIP ton, while fifteen years
later, when the price had declined TO $37
and less, the production was 2, 1870 tons,
and instead of sending nearly $60, 900, 900
to England to pay for rails, as we did in
1871. we produce at home all the rails used,

During this time. under protection, the
price of pigiron fell from $4SSS in 1872 to
$18.H in 1890. Bituminous coal, which is
chiefly used for fuel in the manufacture of
steel rails in this country. sold for $4.66
ton in 1872 and for go in 1890. And there
has been a similar reduction under the
tariff in everything which the manufact-
urer uses in the production of rails, save
alone in the cost of labor.
Prices for what the workman needs have
declined under protection, while his wages
have not declined. Twenty years ago the
workman was paid in greenbacks worth
SO cents on the dollar. Now he is paid in
money as good as gold, which means an
increase of II per cent. in his wages. Here
is the difference, in the average wholesale
prices in 1870 and 1890, as given by the
bureau of statistics, in various necessaries
of life which the workman has to buy:

MARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE,

IL Is nay opinion that where divorce has h,,en

OF the parties with Il third person In this or any
other state or country within SIX months there
after is Voidaole, aud not absolutely void; and
II tie right oi appeal. IS provided by law Is not
exercised, M II an appeal be taken and the su-
preme court does not chauge the status of the
parties to the suit or action, thea such marriage
is certainly valid and binding, and 10 all in
teats ana purposes relates back 10 the time of
It's contamination. There is nothing 10 gain or
TO lose Oy either party divorced going To Vic
'oris or into any other state or country ana
there intermarFyinS with third person within
the SIX months, for the simple reason that no
woman can have two husbands and no man can
have two wives, which would seemingly he thu
case II party, after the lower court had granted
divorce and before the time of sppesl had
elapsed, should ga beyond the limits az thi.

sUPT. BARNARD's REPORT.

The annual report presented by Super
intendent Barnard to the board of educa-
ton is very thorough and admirably
compiled document. The statistics are
full and Complementary arranged. The
result of the years work must be
as gratifying to the superintendent and
his colleagues as it is satisfactory
to the taxpayers who have so freely and
literally encouraged every improvement of
school accommodations and educational
facilities.
Among the most important recommen-
dations are those for the establishment of
night schools and a new building for the
High School, both of which projects
should receive the earliest possible atten-
ton.

STEWART STREET ASSESSMENT.

The protest OF the property-owners on
Stewart street against the assessment laid
on them for the grading of that street, has
raised very singular difficulty for which
there seems no satisfactory remedy under
the present law. The street improvement
was ordered while the old charter was still
running, but the assessment was not made
until after the new charter went into oper-
alton. A roll was made out
assessing by valuation as required
by the old charter, but while it
wasstili pending decision of the supreme
court confirmed the opinion expressed by
Corporation Counsel Jacobs. and agreed
In by Delegate shipley. that the assess
ment must he made in accordance with
She terms of the new charter. Thereupon
anew roll was ordered by the council, and
the result is that over large portion of
tue street the assessments are much higher
than on the old roll. Some, of course.
are much smaller, but the property-owners
thus affected make no objection.
The decision of the supreme court was
rendered in the case Of Wilson VS.. the CITY
ofseattle. Judge Tustin, for the plaintiff.
confended that the assessment on South
Twelfth street should have been made un.

In view Of this very clear and emphatic
decision, the city council did not consider
IL wise to continue the error of making "a.
sessments under the old charter. and
they accordingly ordered the new assess.
ment roll TO which property-owners are
now Directing.
Inc decision was surprise. IL had
been generally assumed that a sor. Of con-

tract existed between the property-owners
and the city, by which proceedings begun
under the old charter would be COM
pleted under its provisions. Had it not
been so it Is presumable that protest
would have been entered against the inn

. proportion of the property-owners in the
proposed district sufficiently powerful to
defeat it.
1tlooks as If injustice will be done If the
new method of assessment must be
adopted. Yet the council is powerless to
act. The only way ont of the difficulty
seems to be to wait until the re-assessment
amendment to tie charter Is adopted and
new and more equitable levy can be
made
