THE GREATER NEW york
CHARTER.

The commission to whom was dele
for the united cities of New York and
Brooklyn is near the end of its Ia
bors and its work is soon to be sub
mitted to the legislature for its ap-
prevail. The commission as appoint
ed is an able body of men who have
had practical experience in munich
pal affairs. The plan of government
evolved for this great Municipality
has the cordial support OF men and
newspapers of both parties. The de-
tails have not yet been given to the
public, but the controlling feature of
the plan appears to be to give power
and fix responsibility. For this pur
pose the mayor is to have the abso-
lutte power of appointment and re-
moval for sixty days after his
election, and single head commits
sioners as far as practicable are to
take the place of boards of three or
more members. How far the mayor
is to be vested with the absolute
power of appointment after sixty
days does not yet appear, or to what
extent he can remove ,appointees
from office, But it is evident that
the power conferred upon the mayor
is to be greater than heretofore Civ
en- to that official anywhere, unless it
be under the present charter of the
city of Brooklyn, which is considered
a odel, one, and that he is to be
held responsible for his administra-
ton. By creating single head COM
missioners the trainers of the charter
intend that the mayor shall also have
the opportunity of fixing RESPONSE
bility among his subordinates.
The trend of reform in municipal
affairs in the large cities is to add to
the power of the mayor as the eXecu-
tive head of the municipality for the
p purpose of fixing responsibility in
stead of having it divided between
the mayor and the city council. In
the Greater New York charter he is
to be the head of every department.
Then if there is NAL administration
in any department the mayor can be
called to account.

ALBANY'S CENTENNIAL.

The preparations to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of Albany as the
capital city Of New York on January
6, are being advanced as rapidly as
possible. Mayor John Boyd Thacher
is chairman of the commission ap-
pointed by the governor to arrange
for the celebration. The programme
for the day includes parade of mill
tary organizations from all parts of
the State and historical floats in the
morning. In the afternoon at Har
manus Becker Hall, the didactic part
of the programme will be given. Lit
erary exercises commemorative of the
event will introduce men of national
prominence. DR.. Chauncey M. De-
pew will deliver the Grafton and w.
III. McElroy, formerly of that city,
will read the poem. The commission
entrusted with the preparations has
hopes that its invitation either to
President Cleveland orto President
elect Mckinley will be accepted.
In the evening grand ball will be
given in the State armory and Wash
ington Park will be the scene of an
elaborate pyrotechnic display.
The commission has turned over
the management Of the ball to Gen.
Robert Shaw'Oliver, who is now en-
gagged in the selections of sub-com-
mittees. Every city in the State will

UNPROFITABLE NEWSPAPER
READERS.

The custom of borrowing neigh
boris newspaper, says the Ellsworth
(Me.) american, has been called to
our attention by the Bar Harbor
Record, which mentions an instance
w here a subscriber wrote for an extra
copy because her copy had been
worn out by neighbors who had bor
rowed it. This is by no means an ex-
ceptional case. We know of cases
where one copy of the american sup
plies an entire community with news,
the paper going from house to house.
1t is fiattering to the editor to find his
p aper so eagerly sought for, but it is
not profitable-ha battery won't pay
bills. Not only is this practice I'M
fair to the publisher, but in many
cases it is a great inconyeni-
ence to the subscriber. 1t is not al
ways that one can sit down and read
paper as soon as it is received, and
there are other members of the fami-
a mel ghbor runs in to ask for the pa
per for few minutes, the accom-
modating subscriber does not like to
refuse. How often has the man of
the family, after a busy days, work,
s ettled himself for an hour with his
p aper, only to learn from his wife
that Mrs. So-and- so had borrowed it!
The american considers every one of
its subscribers friend: VET thOupht-
lessly perhaps, our friends are doing
us an injustice when they loan their
paper to borrowing neighbor, who
thereby eceives the benefits of the
paper without contributing his share
to its support. We agree with the
Record, that "the person who is too
stingy to buy paper which he wishes
to read, should not be permitted to
borrow it,"

THE DEATH OF MACEO.

Antonio Maceo, the Cuban patriot
who has been leading the insurgent
forces in the western portion of the
island, is reported to have been shot,
Dec. 5th, W lille near the trocha, the
Spanish line Of works which is strung
across the island. The Cubans
claim, if the news can be relied upon,
that he was decoyed into an ambush
by flag of truce and then shot down
by the Spaniards, himself and most
of the staff falling at his side. The
Spaniards claim that he fell in a fair
fight. There is great mystery involv-
ed, and to this day it is rumored that
he is yet alive. The report of the
death has aroused the people of the
United States in many localities to a
state of excitement, such as has not
been seen since the time of the war
Meetings are being held, recruiting
is going on, and companies are being
formed, ready to go to Cuba if they
can find way to get there. It is be-
lieved that boat loads of men and
cargoes of war supplies will reach
Cuba in a few days. The government
Is as yet doing nothing, and cannot
well do anything, unless it declare
war against Spain, to aid the patriots
or help send men and ammunition to
Cuba. 1t is probable that many will
ind way to reach the Island and

Labor Commissioner Carroll D.
Wright recommends to Congress the
establishment of permanent and in
dependent census bureau, with a di-
rector at it's head and about three
hundred assistants, all of whom should
be brought into the classified service.
He thinks that the enumeration of
the population should be made ev-
cry five years instead of ten, as is al
ready provided for in twenty s TX
States and Territories. The sociolog-
ical data need be taken only decen-
nially. 1t would cost, according to
Mr.. Wright's estimate, about 100000
annually for this permanent bureau,
and the work would be done NOR
satisfactorily, expeditiously and econ
omically than under the present sys-
tenn. He believes that $2,000,000
might have been saved in compiling
the Eleventh census, and more, than
year in time, had the proposed plan
been in operation.

the Spaniards are using to prevent it.
As soon as congress shall declare that
the Cubans should be accorded bel
Igerent rights there will be hundreds,
if not thousands who will start at
once for the scene of war. The cause
demands the sympathy, if it cannot
have the help, of every citizen OF the
country.

THE CRIME OF MACEO'S
SLAUGHTER.

Tt is horrible story that now comes
from Cuba of Maceo's death.
II it is true, the Cuban leader was
deliberately lured to trysting place
of murder under a flag of truce and
treacherously put to death, precisely
as Gen. Candy was by red Indians in
one of our war with the savages.
If this story is true, then Spanish
warfare in Cuba has passed from the
stage of murder for on-combatants
to that. of murder under pledge of
protection-from barbarism to alb
solute savagery.
And if it is true, what are we to do
about it? Have we any duty as ma
ton? Is there anything in American
sentiment that hesitates to judge be-
tween conflict and treacherous assas-
sination? What should we think if af-
ter the battle of Monmouth the Brit
ish commander had asked Washing
ton to a conference, put him to death
there by treachery and then posed in
New York as the conquering hero who
had suppressed the American rebel
lion?
1t has been bitter thing to Ameri-
cans that the power of their govern
ment has been used in support of
Spanish oppression in Cuba. 1t will
be a wholly intolerable thing if our
aid and sanction shall be given to a
government that slaughters it's enc
mics by treachery in conference at
it's own inviting. On all accounts it
is to be hoped that the story of the
treacherous ASSASSINATION is not true.

POETRY IN SOUTH AuERIcA.

South America has glorious singers
and songs, but the greater are to come.
The countries of the south temperate
zone are pulsing with literary activity
and expectation, and Aconcagua is a
new ParnaSsus, and is likely to be the
last in the west.
Poets came in brotherhoods at the
dawn Of the new era, as prophetic
heralds, and as inspired and inspiring
leaders, and, again, in the decline of
an epoch they appear as raconteurs.
The poets of the dawn have already
appeared in the ten republics of the
Andes, and have sung the songs of
liberty and love, of the wide pampas.
the majestic rivers and groves, and
the orchid haunted plateaus. In the
faded and gone incarial days poets
sprung into the life and inspirations of
the sun. There was the most poetic
race of Indian civilizations. The land
OF poetry was there, and is there. The
end of the long march Of the Arvan
people toward the west must come in
Argentine, Chill and Peru The Italian
emigration to this new Italy is one of
art. The mixed race of Argentines,
Chilians, Peruvians, Italians. English.
French and German is making a new
nation, and beautiful Buenos Ayres
and Santiago show what that nation
will be. The development of the United
States has been the wonder of the
nineteenth century. The surprise and
glory of the twentieth century is likely
to be the achievement of the republics
of the sun and of the southern cross
of which the poets are already singing
and are more gloriously to sing in the
supreme century before us.-From

BE OF GOOD CHEER.

Half the battle of life consists in
keeping UP a cheerful spirit. When de-
preston comes and the clouds, when
the spirit is loaded with deadening
pam, all work becomes a drudgery,
ana lie IS burden and a difficulty
w hateVer is done is carried on under
compulsion, with a wish that it could
be avoided, and a feeling of pleas
ure--H SO mournful a kind of congrat-
ulatlon can be called a pleasure-that
IL is at last completed. And if-be-
cause there is will power enough to
drlVe 1t along, and favorable circum-
stances enough to make it successful
1t will afford but little satisfaction,
Tor the spirit will be loaded with fore
ooolngs, and the mind full of the
prophecies of coming evil. If amy
good work be we'll done it must be
amid buoyancy and hope. With this
spirit no matter how hard the task
may BE- or how unpromising, there

that facility of skill and tact that. un-
less the hindrances are invincible, will
carry it through to a good end.
our religious work often lags and
tails; not because We are not earnest
IN 1t-perhaps we expend unnecessary
labor upon it-but because it is done
under cloud. Hope is wanting. There
is no enthusiasm, no spring and eager
Unlocking and vision of inevitable ac-
complishment. But if the heart is
bright, it will be able to go cheerfully
through any experience, and also bear
its disappointments, rejoice in its trib-
ulations, and not only believe but know
that God makes all things work to-
gether for good to those who love
him. 1t is possible, not for all of us all
the time. Moods are many. and we
are liable to fall into dull ones betimes !;
