A CUNNING TRICK

There is a studied effort afoot to create
the impression that the bondholders are
very anxious to have the new charter
adopted on the assumption that it will
break down the barrier that prevents the
bondholders from suing the city.
The bondholders desire the new charter
defeated, and it is given out that they are
for it and happy over the prospect of its
adoption, simply and solely for the pur-
pose of securing its defeat. Any man
with thimbleful of brains can under
stand that if it were true that the adop-
ton of the new charter would enable the
bondholders to sue the city, and for that
reason they desire its adoption, they
would not be such consummate asses as
to crow about it and give it out that they
are for the charter. That would be ash
ninity of which an idiot would not be
guilty.
The thing is so transparent that it is
really matter for laughter. The bond
holders agents who put the story afloat.
have overshot the mark. The people I'M
derstand perfectly that the law creating
the contract, the relation of debtor and
creditor between the city and those who
bought her bonds, is law of the State.
1t provides that the city shall never be
sued upon the bonds. To say that the
new charter, which does not refer to the
matter in any way, and does not and
cannot affect that law, will repeal the
clause prohibiting suit and leave the
clauses creating and providing for the
payment of the bonds, is an absurdity OF
the rankest order.
1t would be impossible for the CITY or
the Legislature to do any act depriving
the bondholders of any right they have
by virtue of their contract with the city.
The law upon which that contract is
founded stands as whole or not at all.
1t cannot, by the new charter, be repealed
in part and left good in part; it cannot be
affected in any possible way by the new
charter. To say that that instrument
will break down the no suit clause and
leave the remaining ones authorizing the
issuance of the bonds, is simply to utter
vaporings.

THE Bland free coinage men are in
desperate straits. They realize now that
the chances of passing a free coinage
measure through the House are very
slender, and even if such a meager vic
tory is won it will be the doom of all
their hopes for this session of Congress.
The indications now are that they will be
wiser than they were believed to be capa-
bic of, and no further push their sway
backed measure. If they GO so far as to
apply the rule of the cloture, and by aid
of the Committee on Rules shut off de-
bate, they must do so upon written re-
quest of a majority of the Democratic
Representatives. If the Democratic lead
ers permit the Democratic Representa-
tives to commit this folly, the organiza-
ton will go into the Presidential cam
paign so handicapped by the gag law
that the people will repudiate the party
in manner more emphatic than any
known as yet to our political history.

UNDER the new charter we are to have
board of nine School Directors, each to
hold for four years, so that instead of
changing half the board every year, we
will elect only once in two years in
groups of four and five, a great saving of
expense and of cause for irritation. The
board coming direct from the people is to
select its own clerk, who is Superintend-
ent of Schools, precisely as they select
the more important officers, the teachers.
But he can be removed only by vote
of seven of the nine directors; his term
is for two years, and he must be prac-
teal educator and give his whole time to
the duties of the Office. All this is de-
cided improvement over the present sys-

will reach the Pacific coast about May
IL, cross the western mountains by the
close of May IA, the great central val
ley from May Is to II, and the eastern
states on May Is. This storm wave
will lnaugurate one of the most re-
markaDle storm periods of the year.
Its influence will be lightly felt east of
the Mississippi river from May to g.,
and for two months following We may
expect dangerous storms With excessive
rains in parts of tie country and
excessive drouths in other parts.
The worst of these storms will prob
ably not occur till after the middle of
May, and in my next bullentin will
more particularly describe the move
ments OF one of these great storms.
During the last half of May the storms
will break the drouth in many places,
