SIZE OF THE TICKET.
How the Charter Changes Must
Be Voted.
THE TWENTY-NINE AMENDMENTS
Each OF the Propositions Must Be Sub
mitted OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Sur
vey of Their Scope.

There are nineteen proposed anne nd
ments to the charter to be submitted to
the people on March s, but that figure
does not fully represent the number of
propositions to be voted for yea or nay.
The charter requires that if there be more
than one they shall be submitted 10 the
voters in such a manner that they may
vote for or against each amendment sep
arately.
That being the case there will be TWEEN
ty-nine distinct propositions to be voted
upon. 1t has been suggested that the bal
lots should be printed so that if voter
desires to vote AYE" for ali be need only
vote that word at the top, and the same if
he desires TO vote mo- on all. Whether
this would be technically legal has not
been decided yet. Whether it is or not
the propositions will have to be offered
separately. This can easily be shown.
taking the published numbers as a guide
Amendment No. |, establishing the
boundaries of the city, forms only one
proposition.
No 2 is more complicated. 1t involves
a proposition to elect alderman from the
wards instead of from the city at large;
also to make the membership of the house
of delegates eight instead of sixteen; third
that members of the city council shall be
paid a salary instead of being unpaid as
now: fourth. that no member shall hold
other federal, state or municipal office. the
change being that under the amendment
he may hold county office; sixth, re-
pealing the clause permitting councilmen
TO recommend candidates for any position
to be filled by the council; seventh, de-
claring a quorum of each house necessary
to constitute a quorum for joint con-
vention.
No 3, as to the officials constituting the
mayors advisory board, is one proposition
and is only explanatory.
No. has been expunged.
No. 3 provides for the manner in which
special assessments for street improve
ments shall be levied and, although
lengthy and embodying several changes,
is essentially simple amendment; second,
it provides for reassessment; third as
to methods of payment for street grades,
and this, while affecting two separate
sections, is only one amendment; fourth,
as to return of money to property owners
where a surplus in any improvement fund
remains; fifth, as to the guaranty to be
given by contractors for payment for labor
and material-also an intricate change, but
to which all of its several parts are neces-
sary.
No. 6, as to the duties of the auditing
committee, is complete notwithstanding
it enters into two separate sections.
No. 7 has two distinct amendments
first. to alter the qualifications of firemen;
second, as to the duties of the commission
ers.
No. s, modifying the restrictions placed
upon the park board.
No. defines the duties of the city attor-
ney
No. 10 repeats the article as to the city
police court.
No. IL has two provisions-first,t to make
the city attorneys salary $1,000; second,

foroiddlng the increase but not the de-
crease OF any salary during a term
No II repeats the section requiring paw
ment into court of the amount of any suit
In which the city is plaintiff.
No. Ii declares, first. that terms not ex-
pressly named shall expire December 81 !;
second, directing the city council TO elect
10 vacancies instead Of having special cleo
tons.
No Ia is merely as to the method of
making amendments TO the charter.
NO. 10 defines the duty of inspector of
interior plumbing
No. 10 makes arrangements as to the
levylng of taxes so that they shall be ap-
piled to the expenses of the year in which
they are chiefly collected.
No. IL has been abandoned.
No. Is gives the park commissioners
power To acquire. in the name of the city,
title to land.
No. 10 makes the qualification of cor
poration counsel four years instead of
seven years practice.
Each of these propositions must be sub
mitted separately. 'for such and such
proposition, or against such and such
proposition or the propositions may be
briefly described and the words AVE" and
mo" printed against each separate one,

at his option.
Under any circumstances ii will make a
very large ticket and it will be found
practically impossible to put these ques-
tons on the same ballots as those used for
officers.

said TO him it seemed entirely temperate,

whose flag it sailed. He referred to the
efficiency of the crew of the YES

would have acted in such a manner as to

The cloud of war has now blown over, the
captain said, but the affair proved very
suggestive of the fact that war is liable to
come upon a nation at any time. He
hoped it would serve as warning to the
people and demonstrate that it is time to

Mixed Race. in south Africa.

There is probably not civilized roof In South Africa which covers people of only one nationality; as a rule, they are of three or four. We take Q typical Cape household before us at the mo- ment; the father is English, the mother half Dutch and half French Huguenot, with a French name, the children sharing three nationalities; the governess Is a Scotchwoman. the cook Zulu, the housemaid half Hottentot and half Dutch. the kitchen girl half Dutch and half slave, the stable boy a Kafir, and the little girl who waits at table a Ba- suto.
 This household is a type of thou sands of others to be found everywhere throughout Africa. If homely and crude illustration may be allowed, the people of South Africa resemble the in- gradients of pudding when they are in the process of being stirred together in a basin-plums. eggs. wine. flour and water. To hope to resort them is vain; for good or for evil. the mixture is made; they have so permeated each others substance that again to resort them is impossible. however much we may wish it. it.-Fortnightly Review.

A Waterloo Hero.

A farmhouse with an orchard sur rounded by thick hedge, formed a most important point in the British position at Waterloo. and was ordered to he held against the enemy at any sacrifice. The hottest of the battle ragged around this point, but the Eng fish behaved well and beat back the French again and again.
 At last the formers powder and ball were found to be running short; at the same time the hedges surrounding the orchard took fire. A messenger was sent to the rear for more powder and bah. and in a short time two loaded wagons came galloping down to the farmhouse, the gallant defenders of which were keeping up a scanty fire through the flames which surrounded the post.
 The driver of the first wagon spurred his struggling horses through the burn ing heat, but the flames rose tiercely around and caught the powder, which exploded. sending rider, horses and wagon in fragments through the air. Fer one instant the driver of the second wagon paused. appalled, by his com rade's fate; the next, observing that the flames. beaten back for a moment by the explosion, afforded him one desperate chance. he sent his horses at the smoldering breach, and amid the cheers of the garrison landed his cargo safely within.-New York Recorder.

All Three Word. There.

Mrs. H. is young married lady, and an Episcopalian. Her husband is not member of any church, but, as all good husbands should, he frequently attends church with his wife His first attempt however, to conform to the Episcopal form of service was so morti- flying that he was almost tempted to forswear church going altogether.
 It was Easter Sunday, and his wife had tried to coach him beforehand, naturally wishing him to take part with her in the service.
 Remember now, my dear" she said, that the rector will come for ward and say, The Lord is risen,' and you will respond with, He is, indeed. You will remember that now, won't youf"
 ''Wel, I guess can remember three words, replied Mir. H., little tes- tily.
 An hour later they were at the church. The rector came forward at the proper time, in the beginning of the service, and said solemnly:
 'yThe Lord is risen"
 Promptly and distinctly came the response of Mir. H.:
