BALTIMORE, Aug. 2O.-One OF Mr.. Germans
warmest political friends and supporters saw
the Senator in Washington yesterday. and sue
cecded in getting from him an expression Of
opinion on the silver fight now in progress.
Said he:
Il had talk with German on tho subject Of
repeal. and he said that it was n difficult mat
ter to handle. but that it would be brought
about AS soon as could be reasonably expected.
He said that he intended to do what his udg-
mont told him was right, regardless Of popular
clamor. He also said that many of the Repub-
icans were determined to make all the party
capital possible out OF the situation. and they
appeared equally determined that the Demo-
Gratis should get credit whatever for what
might be done by Congress. He said the Demo-
Gratis were determined that their party should
get the credit for what should be DONE us they
will bs held responsible for it. Senator Cor
man is IN full accord with President Cleveland.

has been able to render valuable assistance to
the friends OF repeal In both Houses. He has
been In frequent consultation with tho leaders
OF the movement in the House and Senate.
and to night he Is very much encouraged by
the outlook
While majority OF the Democrats in the
Senate are opposed to unconditional repeal.
there are several members from free coinage
States who are disposed to exercise their own
discretion when the time for voting comes. 1t
Is understood that Senator Mills OF Texas and
Senators Pascoe and Cali OF Florida arc in
cined to vote for unconditional repeal first
and look for further legislation on the general
financial question afterward. There are also
several Senators. who are FREQ silver
men from principle. who have announced
that they will not assist in hlibustcr-
ing to prevent a vote on the uncon-
ditionul repeal bill. They insist upon their
right to vote their own convictions notwith-
standing the strong nprcal made to them Ivy
prepared to assist in preventing the repeal OF
measure Which ia admitted by both Demo.
Tor the present condition ofaiIairs.
There is u growing impression that the free
silver mon in the senate will not undertake TO
blocR the passage OF tho repeal hill IL tt should
lority IL the Senate. 1t is said That they could
not Justify themselves before the country by
rcsotting to dilatory tactics.
1t Is stated ON the highest authority that
President Cicvel and has never uthDriHed any
one to sny that Ire would or would not veto
free coinage hill il Congress- should adopt such
amcasnre. Those who are close to him on.
cially insist that he has not communicated
with any one on that subject since he sent his
message to Congress recommending the re-
peal OF the Sherman act. lie is not in tho
habit OF crossing u bridge before he reaches
one. ana 1t may he rcmem bered that when
similar suggestion was innde to him durin g
the campaign he rerlicd that he would render
his decision on that subject when Congress
acted upon it. Under the circumstances it is
hardly probable that he will offer any as
snranros as to what he NAV do II majority OF
the two Houses will promptly pass the uncon
ditional repeal bill. Those who are in thor
onGh accord with him say that there is no way
by which he could properly give such an as
surance even II he were disnosel to do so.

The amendments as proposed by the
committee Of citizens as stated above
can be signed at THE TIMES office and
expressions of each ones views upon
tho latter suggestion can also be made
at the same time. 1t is necessary to
act at once upon this matter and every
citizen who believes that these proposed
amendments, or can suggest others
which will cover the ground OF objec-

should express himself to this effect.
1t is the right, however, of every or
any citizen to draw up a series OF pro-

expression can be given in the way sug-
ges,ed, and the end can be best gained
by following out the plan outlined by

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE
MAYOR

Some controversy growing out of the
recent discussion OF tine charter has
arisen as TO the constitutional rights Of
the mayor, and for the edifcation OF
those who have not already informed
themselves upon this point; The TINES
has made the following abstract:
Article VI, section 20, Constitution OF
Virginia, relating TO the government of
cities and towns:
There shall be chosen by the cleo
tors of every city, q mayor who shall
b. the chief executive officer there of
and who shall see that the duties Of
the various city officers are faithfully
performed He shall have power to
investigate their acts, have access to
all books and documents Of their Offices
and may examine them and their subor-
dinates on oath. He shall
whether they be elected or appointed
for misconduct in office or eject of
duty 10 be specified in the order of
suspension or removal, but no such re-.
moval shall be made without reason.
able notice to the officer planned
of and an opportunity afforded him to be
heard in his own defense"
Ii would seem from this that what
ever restrictions Council may place
upon him, constitute ionally he is re-
sponsible for the acts Of every official
whether appointed or elected under him
and may be held accountable for the
proper administration OF al! the affairs
of the city government.

THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

copy Of the amendments proposed
by the committee OF citizens to the bill
now pending before tho general assem-
by as submitted to our representatives
by Council, may be found at The TINES
office, where signatures of approval
tn these changes may be made
The amendments as published in
last Saturdays TINES made four
essential changes to the provisions
finally passed by Council, which in
brief provide Q) for four-fifth vote of
Council. to pass over the mayors veto;
(2) cutting out entire of the clause re-
lating 10 the impeachment Of the mayor
by Council; ca placing no limit upon
the amount OF salary to be voted the
mayor by Council and a. specifying
more particularly in regard to the let
ting out Of contracts by Council.
With possibly one or two exceptions
The TINES believes that these amend
ments voice the demands of the people
for change from those submitted by
Council, and in this it may be stated
that some Of the mem ers of that body
have agreed that the grounds for the
suggestions are we'll sustained. If then
they meet the approval of the citizens
generally, then as large a list of sigma
lures should be attached as speedilv 40
possible that this expression of the
public sentiment may be sent to tho
legislature at an early hour.
suggestion which The TINES is
supported in making as an addition to
the proposed amendments, is one pro
viding for the formation of a board
composed OF the mayor, the city engi-
neer and an officer to be known as the
superintendent OF public works, to be
appointed by Council, to be known as
the board of public works, the present
organization having been for the pur.
poses OF reducing the expenses Of
government, done away with. This
proposition was much discussed
py Council in their consideration of the
charter and as it is possible that in the
contracts now being carried out under
the direction of the board Of public
works and in which, it is understood, the
board is acting in the capacity Of board
OF arbitration, the matter NAV thus
be satisfactorily settled without the
danger of any legal compile ations
arising by the introduction of this
proviso. The formation Of board bv
constituting the mayor and city enoi.

alary has other oommendable features

A Bad Cave-In.

While some men were engaged in constructing an incline from the river to Sawyers & McCoy's mill, at Helena, they were startled by a crashing sound.
 One of the workmen hastened to the part of the incline where the sound came from and found large sliding-in or cav e-in of the river bank, which carried with 1t 0 large amount of trestling. The cave over POO feet in ex. tent and the ground sunk about 6 feet The next morning 1t went down feet more. This cave in is close to the place where several other dangerous caves have occurred. The move ment of the quicksand. which Is the founda- tion of the bank. is the cause of the trouble. The government has spent Q great deal of money in the same locality by sinking willow mattresses and revetments to prevent the cav ing but 1t seems to have been done to no ad vantage.
