THE CHARTER.
Mayor Hubbard Thinks 1t Require!
Amendment.

The following communication was last
night submitted by Mayor Hubbard to
the City Trustees. In it he calls atten-
ton to alleged defects in the city char
ter, and recommends that the matter be
investigated with a view to having GER
tain amendments laid before the people
for their approval. He says:
"YOu are aware that there are sew
eral sections Of our charter that conflict
with one another and are susceptible OF
different constructions, particularly
those prescribing the duties and powers
of the executive and legislative depart
ments of our city government. These
different constructions which may be
placed upon these sections will be a
source Of vexatious litigation in the
courts IN the future, and, If there Is a
way by which these questions can be
settled we should endeavOr to ascer-
tain 1t.
"The Board of Freeholders which
framed the charter failed to fix def
nitely the duties Of the above-men-
toned departments of the city govern
ment, and circumstances have arisen,
since the charter became operative,
which require that the duties and re-
sponsibilities Of the said respective de-
partments be more clearly defined.
"I believe that the people Of the city
of Sacramento now desire that some
changes in the charter be made, in order
that responsibility may be placed where
it belongs The only way by which
these changes can be made IS for your
board to submit such amendments to
the charter, as may be considered az
visable, to a vote Of the people or the
city at the coming election.
IT would suggest that a committee OF
your board be appointed to investigate
the matter and arrange some plan by
which amendments may be agreed upon
and which will properly define the duties
Of the executive and legislative depart
ments Of the city
Devine moved that the President ap-
point a committee of three members OF
the board to consult on needed amend
ments to the charter and report them
to the board.
The motion was carried. and the
Chair appointed Devine, Kent and To-
ger as such committee.

tury ago that man may be said, with
some stretch of fancy, to be new, as
also the earth. Thus, in preventive
medicine, there has been advance
that has completely upset old ideas Of
treatment and prevention. In sanitary
science there has been such achieve
ment that the sum of human life has
been augmented, the lease of life ex-
tended and the conditions of health
completely revolutionized. In the mat
ter of food production and preparation
the change has been radical and the ad-
vance wonderful. In the treatment of
soils and the stimulation of production
there has been chemical revolution also
But what M. Berthelot meant was not
SO much the reforms Of the past as the
promise for the future, when we may
be able by chemical process to produce
the life-maintaining foods we need at
less cost than by their slow production
from the SOIL Production itself has
been greatly Quickened, but is to be
much more stimulated and hastened
and is to be carried on by the aid OF
chemistry at less cost than heretofore;
that is to say, it will eliminate vast
deal Of the labor now necessary. But
what under the sun will Mr.. Bryan say
to all this when he is insisting that low
prices is not what we want, but high
prices for about all necessaries? Does
Mr.. Bryan and his followers think they
can make a successful tilt against
chemical advance? Here, now, is
problem for the revolutionists.

'Harper's Weekly" in a recent edi-
torial, clears up wide misapprehension
as to the character of people who are
spectators in State, city and govern
mental credit-bonds. New York City
recently offered some of her bonds for
tive. They are considered among the
most conservative of securities and
have always been sought by investors
on that basis. Yet the other day, when
a block of these bonds was offered, it
was found impossible to get a taker on
favorable terms; there was absolutely
no market for weeks for these unQues-
toned securities. Why? Because the
people who have heretofore made such
investments are not the ''millionaires"
and money sharks" but people who
are timid with their savings, and have
already taken alarm at the Democratic
programme for the conduct of the
country. It is the small savings that
are aggregated IN the hands of banking
and investment agencies that take such
securities usually, and it is these wild
ows" and orphans" and wage earners
and savings bank investors who see
opportunity to make something more
than bank interest who invest their
money in such securities. These are
they, therefore, who are denounced as
"Shylocks." gold bugs" '1eeches," f"
etc. "Harper's Weekly asserts it as
an undeniable fact that the securities
of communities that need money far
more than does New York find their
creditors mainly to be these small
money-owners. who have been the TAX
