REORGANIZATION rs DISORGAN.
TZATTON.

Three city elections In year! is what
reorganization means. The coming cleo
ton on the 9Th inst, II reorganization
carries special election must be held
within six weeks thereafter to elect
mayor and councilmen under the reorgan-
lied government; then in December the
regular general city election must be held.
Elections are expensive; is reorganiza-
ton worth all the expense? win it give
us better form Of government? mol
The form Of government is just the same
that we now have. We made and adj
opted our present charter. Shall We cast
1t aside for one made by some one totally
ignorant Of our conditions and necessities :?
Citizens should not be misled by the
wild statements Of the youthful hackers
Of reorganization. They do not regard
truth or sense necessary in their talk for
their pet scheme. The parties pushing
this matter gives it suspicious look and
should warn our citizens to look out for
job of some nature.
They say that our present charter con-
fiicts with the state constitution, and
therefore we must change it for the char
ter provided by general law. Where is
the conflict? They do not know of any
confliction and, in fact, there is none.
The powers Of our charter are extended
by the state constitution, but are not
limited thereby or in conflict Herewith.
Section 6 OF Article VIII.
The Republic of last week attempted to
point out where our charter conflicts with
the state laws. Let us suppose 1t does
conflict. as the learned law-writer of the
Republic contends, does that repeal or
annul the conflicting portions of our char
ter? 1t certainly does not. Let the
aforesaid law~writer get it firmly fixed in
his head that our charter is special grant
OF the powers therein enumerated by the
legislature to us and the general laws SO
fippantly cited by him do not repeal or
limit these bowers. Let him get this
fact firmly fixed, then let him re-examine
these general laws regarding special laws,
that he SO well loves, and apply the rules
OF law regarding special laws and their
repeal. Then probably he will agree with
our citizens generally that there was not
"nut to crack" in his entire article last
week. as be so egotistically flattered him
self that there was.
Now let these young reorganizing-dis-
organizers also understand one thing,
!. e., that the charter prescribed by the
general laws, which they wish to adopt,
provides that the city council shall elect
the "city attorney, marshal, city clerk,
street commissioner and such other Of
ficers as the city council may deem pro-
per-" and that the people do not vote for
one of these officers. II they have been
honestly mistaken when they made the
statements that these officers were elected
by the people, let them examine Section
625, Volume 1, Hills Code.
Again, the Republic asks "why we Of
Yakima must register" Because our
charter says that our city elections shall
be governed by the general election laws
of the state: Section AZ OF charter.

One argument against reorganization,
which should effectually lay to rest that
ill-considered and uncalled for scheme, is
the matter of water appropriation. II we
relinquish our present charter and take
up the general one for cities OF the third
class, we abandon all rights to water for
street and irrigation purposes, and the
established water and ditch companies
can lay the claim and successfully main
tain the premises that all the water of the
Matches is essential for their purposes.
As it now stands We have vested rights of
great value which cannot be wrested from
Us as long as We continue under our pres
ent charter. The legislature cannot take
them from US the courts have not the
power to deprive us OF them, but the min
ute We throw our charter aside to assume
new one, then our rights have taken
wings and the city is in the same con-
dition in this respect that it was when it
was organized, with the exception that
other corporations have made appropria-
tons, and at their pleasure We could be
shut out effectually from the ripping
streams which border our streets, irrigate
our door yards, sustain the life in our
shade trees, and have proven in many
ways such an attractive feature and adj
vertisement for North Yakima. A rote in
fdror Of reorganization is vote against
the best interests Of this city.

and is very importan. that our state make
a big showing at the great Columbian ex-
position, with her big log house and
many wonderful products. This is for all
the world to see--all the rest OF the world,
outside of our own state. The legislature
provided literally, nobody complained,
and everybody is glad of it. But, after
all, is it particularly important that our
people dig up the dollars,when they are so
hard to get, and go off to Chicago to
"blow them in?" Perhaps not. We
don't need to look at our own exhibit,
and surely none Of us are looking for a
better land to go to. So GUT bono' Why
not stay at home and save money?
Those who have been waiting for this
particular summer as the time for making
q long-deferred visit to friends in the east
will go, and happy they who can do SO
without seriously missing the money it
will cost; but most OF us all find that we
can survive the year very comfortably If
we stay at home. One need not fear to

ooRDELE's MAYOR IN A FIGHT.
He Hits a Policeman Over the Head
With a Club.

Cordele, Ga, May mayor J. B Scott
and Policeman Westbrook had lively
tussle this afternoon in which the police
man received blow on the head with his
own club. Mayor Scott met Mr. West
brook on Eleventh avenue about 5 O'Clock
and demanded that he give him his badge
and club, as he was drunk. The police
man refused to give up these insignia of
his office, and insisted that he be allowed
to continue on duty. The mayor finally
took the club from the policeman, when
the latter grasped the mayor by the lapel
of his coat and reached toward
his own rear pocket Taking
this as a seriously threatening attitude,
the mayor struck the policeman on the
head, cutting cash in the skin about
two inches long. Westbrook was carried
to his residence, while Mayor Scott
walked away triumphantly with the
badge and club in hand. Considerable
excitement existed over the occurrence
for short time, but the interested ones
soon quieted, and the excitement has
about blown over.

BASE BALL IN THE MUD.
Atlanta Turns the Tables by a Score
OF 9 TO 5.

Meakim Unable to Play His Game
While Atlanta's Pitcher Was Not
Bothered at All Heavy Batting by
the Home Club an Important Factor
in Settling the Game.
Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-The mud helped
Atlanta out nightly to-day, though the
home team batted out its victory. The
muddy weather seemed to make little diff
ference to Rettger while Meakim did not
fare so well. Several Of the hits cred
tied to Atlanta were dead scratches, as,
for instance, a buut which Meakim started
for and could easily have gotten had ne
not slipped He fell on top of the ball.
The game was an exciting one through
out. For three innings neither side
scored Then Atlanta batted out an
earned RIM. Then Savannah got two
on hits by Burns and Nichols and two
errors by Ely. In the tift> Atlanta earned
another, while Savannah did likewise on
McGarr's double and a single by Klusman.
Letcher hit a home run in the sixth and
In the seventh a base on balls, a sacrifice
and Lally's hit gave Atlanta still another.
In the eighth Atlanta earned another.

ning's men went in and by singles by
Burns and CannOughtOn, and a wild throw
by Camp got two runs, tying the score.
The ninth was a Waterloo for Savan-

from what apparently followed. Mrs.
Henderson returned home about $50
o'clock and passed into a back room. On
returning TO the front she noticed some
one sitting against the door, as she sup
posed. Thinking that it was a burglar,
she ran out and left the yard. As soon as
she recovered her wits she gave out the
alarm, and several persons returned with
her When they entered the room the

was that of her husband, and instead of
being seated he was half suspended from

down and everything done to resuscitate
him, but all to no avail The efforts of
