BOARD OF ALDERMEN.


There were seven members of the
Board of Aldermen at the called meet
ing of Council last evening.
When the bill to amend the SD Sec
ton of the city charter came in from
the Common Council for consideration,
Mr.. Ballenger moved that the action
of the lower board be concurred in.
Mr.. Sweeney said the bill would go
before the committee on general laws
for immediate consideration, and that
it would be ready to go to Richmond
by next Wednesday, when, under the
suspension OF rules of the Legislature,
it could be passed in Very short
time. He thought, however. that
every precaution should be taken in
preparing the bill so that there would
be no loop-holes in it, and that good
counsel should be secured to assist Cor
poration Attorney Brent.
Mr.. Ballenger's motion was finally
adopted and the board then adjourned.
COMMON COUNCIL.
After the reading of the communica-
ton of the Mayor calling the board
together,
Mr.. Uhler presented an act intended
to provide for street improvements 10
accordance with the terms of the de-
cision. He said the act had been pre-
pared by Mr.. Brent, the Corporation
Attorney, and he thought it best to
submit it to Council. 1t seemed to the
speaker that the city was about to get
into the old hole again. He asked
that the act be referred to the commit
tee on general laws with power to en-
ploy additional counsel.
Mr.. Cation said that while he did not
desire to be understood as critical in
his remarks. the subject under consid-
Grafton was grave one and should be
we'll weighed. He had heard the
opinion of the Court of Appeals deliv-
cred and had formed his own impress
sions of its import and the subsequent
reading of it had in no wise altered his
conclusions. The act which was be-
fore Council did not provide for the
proper notice to property holders, and
this was point the Court of Appeals
dwelt upon. Besides, the later tribunal
announced that the party assessed for
street improvements should be heard
by an impartial tribunal. There was
no. provision for such in the act.
He thought the decision had sustained
the validity of the SD section of the
charter. 1t was, however. a matter
which should have mature considera-
ton, and he was not sure then the bill
which should be prepared would meet
with all requirements. He favored
sending it to the committee.
Mr.. Snowden suggested that the
committee be empowered to employ
additional counsel, and said Mr.. a. w.
Armstrong, who had made the matter
study, would be proper attorney
for the work.
Mr.. Uhler said that would be left
with the committee.
Mr.. Cation said if it was deemed adj
visable the committee would call in
other counsel.
The act was so referred and the
! beard adjourned.

One must, indeed, 60 back into the

On the whole, we can only say that 10
has been a year of disappointment.
Sundermann has disappointed Us. the
entire modern school. whether in Ber-
lin or Vienna, has failed to justify the
degree Of promise it displayed in past
years. Hauptmann, it is true, has ad-
RANGED a step with '-Florian Geyer."
but 'Florian Geyer" is too deeply root
ed in German soil to be hailed as work
of European interest or Importance.
On the other hand. the writers of con-
sentative trend have. with hardly an
exception. not given Us of their best.
Under these circumstances it is diff
cult to speak with confidence of future

ownership, as follows:
Would you order investigation made
of complaint that a discharge has been
made for political reasOns?"
Judge Caldwells answer was received
yesterday and is as follows:
1T will not be necessary for en-
ployes OF corporations under federal re-
ownership. over which 1 have any con-
troll, 10 vote for Mckinley or Bryan or
any other candidate for political Of
fee in order to hold their places. I
would order an investigation of COM
plant that an employee of the court had
been discharged for political reasons and
if the complaint upon investigation, ap-
peared to be well founded, 1 would at
once order the dismissal Of any receiv-
er, general manager or other officer or
other employee of the court having to
do with the discharging or threatening
to discharge employees for political rea-
sons, and it would be sufficient ground
for removing receiver or general man
ager, If they had reason to believe that
such unlawful coercion was being prac-
ticed or threatened by any of their SUBJ
ordinate officers or employees and took
no step to investigate and suppress Il.
tine foundation stone of the republic
is the free suffrage of its citizens. 1t
is the constitutional right of every legal
voter to vote as he chooses. Any inter-
ference with this fundamental right OF
the citizen 10y a court would be high
crime, deserving Impeachment, and any
employee of the court who attempts to
coerce other employees of the court to
vote otherwise than according to their
own judgment and free choice, by
threats of discharging them from the
service OF the court, or by the use of
any other illegal means. would merit,
and would receive, instant dismissal
from the service without regard to his
rank or position.

The train bearing the Bryan party ar
rived in Cambridge nearly an hour la
ter. A five-minutes stop WAS to have
been made there but Mr. Bryan was
taken in a carriage to the fair grounds,
where he spoke, and as a consequence
twenty minutes more was added to the
wrong side of the schedule. At the fair
grounds the nominee encountered a
crowd which numbered up into the thou
sands and was unable to leave his car
rage TO gain the speakers stand. He
spoke from the drivers box for three
minutes, asking his hearers to study the
money question and then vote as their
conScienceS dictated.
