evident that quite a number Of the gold
democrats were voting straight for Nc

This was the result of a canvass held

entire republican Ncket, while the majority.
however, voted for Palmer and Buckner.
The most astute politicians seem to be able
to see the general result in the county.
The silent vote is large, mystify-

close of thu polls claims that they will go

cede over $50. Should this republican
claim hold good their estim@te of GO to

In referring to the Department of Public
Works you will notice that the principle cover
ing its whole construction is based upon get
ting intelligent men familiar with the outles
they are to perform in each department, anu
it is so worded as to compel the selection OF en-

tanned in proper shape by placing them under

having them in the unkept condition they pre-
sent at present while sufficient money is used
to put them in first-class shape.
1t also provides for the municipal ownership
of water, gas, electricity, telephone and other
valuable franchises now granted free without
any beneficial results TO the City, and 1t pro-
vides complete method for the acquiring OF
them, which, while it gives free expression OF
vested rights from being destroyed through

Gustave III. Umbsen sent in paper on
"The Executive Department" In this he
wrote as follows:
Under the present system the Mayor, how
ever faithful and efflcient is merely hgure-
head, and being without real power is OF course
without responsibility for any misconduct in
municipal affairs.
By the proposed new charter he immedi-
ately becomes the executive and responsible
thinking head and brains of the citys man
agement and bears the same relation to the
city's affairs that the Governor does to the
State.
An important power given the Mayor is that
all ordinances or resolutions which may be
first submitted 10 him for his approval, and
that new resolutions or ordinances shall not
be effective until they receive a three-fourths
vote OF the Supervisors over his veto. This is
one of the best points in the new charter.
The following resolutions were then pre-
sented and adopted:
WHEREAS, The present system of government
OF San Francisco is obsolete, defective and un-
suited to the requirements of a progressive
city; and whereas, new charter has been
prepared and proposed by Board of
Freeholders, elected by the people in accord
ance with the constitution of the State OF Cali
fornia; and whereas the board OF directors of
the Merchants Association has decided upon
vigorous campaign in favor OF the adoption
OF the proposed new charter, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Mer-
chants Association, hereby ratify and indorse

The extension of the transfer system on
the street railroads is now so nearly COM
plete that it is possible to make three, and
in some cases four, changes of route on
the payment of single fare. The latest
OF the lines on which the transfer system
has been introduced are the Forty-second
street, Manhattanville and st. Nicholas
avenue road and the crosstown lines on
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. The
Canal-street and Grand, Cortland and Des-
brosses-street ferry lines, and the line run
ming through One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street to and along Tenth avenue had
already adopted the transfer Arrangement.
A conductor riding downtown yesterday
said to a man who was smoking on the
rear platform: This transfer system IS a
godsend to the working people of the far
East side. Some of them mad to go six or
seven miles to work. They had to take
two cars to DO it, and 10 cents day each
way, or 81 20 week, is lot of money to
come out of the wages of poor man.
Now they save just half of that, which
pays third or fourth of their rent.
"In the summer time it's great boon to
the poor, as last season showed, when the
Grand and Canal and One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street transfers were estab-
lished, and the open cars and butterflies
were running. A family of poor toilers
that are hived together in the filthy tene-
ments where God's fresh air never entered
would board a Grand-street car at, say,

which the corporations can retreat and dictate
terms of surrender. The Board of Freeholders
thought the corporations should De protected,
of course. The trainers of our State constitu-
ton protected them by requiring two-thirds
to buy them. The State Legislature thought
the corporations needed more protection, so
they required by the law of 1889 that two
thirds Of the Board of Supervisors must vote in
Kind. kind - And now the kindly Board of Free
holders think the corporations need more pro-
lection SO they provide IN the. new charter
that three-fourths of the Supervisors must
favor the affair, and that all the Board OF Pub
lie Works must recommend the estimates, and
then, at last, that the existing plants must be
considered We all know what that means.
Such points clearly show that money and
vested rights had many friends in the Board
of Freeholders, and that the common people
were of secondary consideration. Why, if
those men had any manhood or humanity
why if they had any patriotism and love Of
their countrymen, did they not provide that
the Board of Supervisors must consider the
interests of the unemployed rather than those
who already have too much wealth? At the
time they framed the new charter the unem-
ployed were imploring an opportunity to work.
It is the old story, "men are cheaper than
shingles" Let the unemployed starve, but
consider the existing plants. "Plutocracy VS..
Manhood" The charter against the people
will be the war cry this year.
