THE ICE CLEARED AWAY.

c. T. Sherwood hired Charles Stowe, Howard Stevens, William o. French, c. E. Bradley and W. $. Bradley to cut the ice out of the road below Zoar brigde, this week Monday. After the ice job was done Charles French with a good pair of oxen, as is in the town of Oxford, went for the large button ball tree. It took more than one hour to get the huge fellow out. We think it would be judic- ious for the selectmen to move the rail- ing stone out of the road and erect the railing near the bridge before some one gets hurt. This advice is gratis, gentle men, the same as the work cutting the ice.

THE CHARTER AND THE LEGIs.
LATURF.


It is very desirable that Sacramento's
new charter shall be passed upon by the
Legislature at the earliest possible mo-
ment, as the action will have an import
ant influence upon the city election in
March. We believe the new charter to
be good one; not perfect, but better by
far than anything Of the kind yet at
tempted in California.
1t is really the result, largely, of the
best thought and discussion of the day
upon municipal government; it was made
by sincere men, and with much pains
taking and after consulting all charters of
recent date, and it fully reflects the desire
of the people of this city.
If there are. no constitutional objections
to any Of its provisions, the Legislature
ought to approve it, regardless of the per-
sonal views of the individual legislators
concerning city government. We under
| stand the spirit of the Constitution in re-
quiring them as a body to pass upon it,
TO mean that they are simply to see to it
that the new organic Act is not in conflict
with the Constitution and laws. If a city
| charter before approval must be made to
match the personal ideas of members of
the Legislature as to what they severally
would write if constructing charter, it
would be quite impossible to frame any
document that could possibly receive ap-
proval of the requisite number.
If there should be discovered some one
thing in the charter, the constitutionality
Of which is doubtful, the document for
that reason should not be rejected, unless
that error is of such vital Importance as
to affect the underlying principles of a
republican form of government. The
thought of the day is that the govern
ment should be brought closer and closer
to the people; that they should to the
fartherest limit govern themselves in the
matter of local legislation. This is the
scheme of the Constitution in giving the
POOGAC VI SAb4OS bA4O EJON u W 1IdlltG CudI-
ters for the government of their own
groups.
So we repeat. if the Legislature finds
the document not in conflict. radically
with the Constitution and the general
laws, the instrument should be promptly
approved, because the people to be
affected adopted it after long and dill
gent study Of the instrument. 1t repre-
sents their desire and ought to be rati :
fed, unless that desire in some radical
way is opposed to fundamental prlnci-
pies.
The reason for wishing action taken
very early is that in preparing for the
election in March it is essential for the
people to know if they are selecting Off
GERS to serve only until November next,
or for term of years.

MAJoR-GENERAL SCHoFIELD's idea is
the correct one, that while camp of 100, COO
men, regulars and National Guardsmen, at
Chicago during the Columbian Exposi-
ton would be an imposing feature, it will
not be compensation for the heavy cost it
will involve. It would be difficult to find
ground for such a camp within convent
ent distance of the fair grounds; there are
not sufficient subordinate, commanding
and other officers who could be instructed
in time to handle such camp with a
view OF making it school of instruction.
Probably 5000 regulars could be spared
from duty, says the General; but he
doubts very much if the results obtained
would be commensurate with the great ex-
pense involved.

THE Burial Reform Association of
England, a powerful organization, is
moving to abolish the mourning and
costly funeral displays. That is sensible.
Affection and respect for the dead can be
best shown by consideration for those
whom the deceased loved and cared for in
life, rather than by useless and elaborate
funeral ceremonial. This proposed re-
form does not cut off decent and modest
funeral tributes to the memory of the
loved dead, but it does mean to strike at
the root of an evil that begins the bank
ruptcy of good many people.

THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.

The dispatches indicate that the trouble
in France over the canal scandal has
broken out afresh. The story is that ex-
Minister Baihut asserts that he never re-
ceived money from, or had any business
dealings with BIondin; that Baihuts
submission of the famous Rosseau report
on the canal was not made without ap-
proval Of the entire Cabinet of De Freyci-
net, in which the present President was
Minister of Finances. The friends of
President Carnot and of De Freycinet
deny emphatically the statements of
Baihut. If the latter can, as he claims,
substantiate his charges, the President
will be placed in a dangerous position.
Of course it must be kept in view that
both Baihut and Blondin are on trial, and
like all defendants, are seeking to clear
themselves, no matter at whose expense.
The fact that there is new peril to the
Government in France is indicated by
the remarkable fall Of rentes six francs
the financial thermometer is the most
sensitive of indicators. Meanwhile the
Government is making extensive prepa-
rations to meet an expected uprising To-
mented by the socialists. who find plenty
OF food in this scandal to feed the fame
of their doctrine that all society is cor
rupt, and that only by revolution can
the atmosphere Of the State be purified.
Tho anarchists second the radical social
lists and urge them to initiate lawlessness
forthwith. However looked at, the situa-
ton in France is very critical.

IL IS proposed by the Governor with urg-

"HARPER's WEEKLY" says: "If the

the new President to give it the Federal
patronage of the State of New York
through Senatorial cabal against him,
it will find itself most wofuIly disap-
pointed, for in such contest the Presi-
dent must inevitably win." That will
be true of all machine work, provided
always that the President-elect is able to
withstand the pressure that will be
brought to bear. We entertain hope
quite amounting to belief that he is able
and will do it. But it may not be well to
attempt such certainty Of forecast as that
