CITY TOPICS.
ONE MAN POWER.

Complaint is made in some quarters
that our present city administration
has resolved itself into a one-man
power. That mayor CalIaghan DOM
iniates, not only as executive, but con-
trolls the legislative power of the city
government. Whether this complaint
is we'll founded or not, it confronts us
with the problem of city government.
Our city government is modelled after
the state government; it's powers are
divided between the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial departments. The
constitution of the state is the ultimate
boundary of our municipal powers;
the city character contains all the
powers necessary Off a city I'M
der the state constitution. This is the
usual model of all city governments
they are the miniature representatives
of the state governments In some of
the larger cities, such as Greater New
York, their organization, especially in
their legislative department, is made
to usurp the state legislative authority
while the mayor is made the autocrat
Of all the appointing power. He has
the power of appointing all officials
made appointive, and the power of dis
missal. If it has come to be a neces-
sity in large municipalities to invest
the mayor with one-man power how
much greater the reason to do so in
smaller cities. The mayor, cannot,
under our present system or under any
system, be the legislature, but he can,
by reason of his supreme supervision
OF the management of city affairs
greatly influence it's legislation. I'm
der the present form of our city gov
eminent, the city council is above the
mayor, and have it in their power to
depose his from office. Therefore,
whatever of one-man power there may
exist, result from voluntary acQuies-
cence on the part of theose who
have we'll defined powers belonging To
their positions. The short term of Of
flee of all elective officers furnishes a
good guarantee against an abuse OF
power, on the part of the city execu-
tive; he either seeks to be retained in
his present position or expects higher
favor at the hands of the people. II
he is an honest, shrewd man, qualities
attributed to our present executive
he will be very careful to do those
things which are best for the city. TIL,
foolish executive forgets that Their,
are people and depends upon his abili
ty to pull political wires to perpetual,
his reign. Mayor Callaghan has show
great Qualities as an executive. H
has brought the whole city admins
tration under onerule and made 1t har
monious. 1t remains to be seen /
such n corr. iete unison of all tn
branches Of the cl;:' government vii

During the summer of 1891 Mr.. Chas.
p. Johnson, well known attorney of
Louisville, KY, had very severe at
tack of summer complaint. Quite a
number of remedies were tried, but
failed to afford any relief. A friend
who knew what was needed procured
him a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
quickly cured him and he thinks saved
his life. He says that there has not
been day since that time that he has
not had this remedy in his household.
He speaks of it in the highest praise
and takes much pleasure in recommen-
ding it whenever an opportunity is Of
fered. For sale by all druggists.

II have not the Hlightest doubt that
Tammany Hall will carry the Greater
City by so, 900 votes and upward, said
Mr.. Croker to a representative Of the
Associated Press. New York never
had one reform administration after
another. One such government appears
to be all the people can stand in one
decade. The present so.called reform
administration has been chiefly noted
for its increaRe OF the tax rate, accom-
panied by higher apprhis0ment.

ready to intrust tine rains of govern

-------------- GLASGOW,S TOWN CLOCKS.

Those who miss the old depot clock, and who look with comfort on the friendly face of the clock on the Yale bank building will be interested in an enterprise which the city of Glasgow has on foot, Some years ago the ex- pertinent was tried of placing munich pal clocks in prominent positions all over Glasgow and regulating them by standardization. The present scheme Is much more elaborate, and is nothing less than the establishment of a sys- tenn of standard time, by means of electrically controlled clocks, regulat- ed every second from the stellar clock at the observatory, A regulating clock, directly controlled from the observa- tory, has been placed in the city cham circuits of public clocks at various points in the city In the meantime, only about a dozen clocks have been provided, but if the trial proves suc- cessful the corporation intends to erect from two hundred to three hundred eighteen-inch dials, thus providing a reliable system of standard time for all parts of the city This extension of the circuit will involve the laying of sixty-one miles of wire. It is hoped also to include timekeeping in private houses.
 Glasgow is well governed-so we'll that it is said that it's citizens will not have any taxes to pay this year It does well to furnish town clocks enough for all who need them The idea is worth imitation by cities which are not as well governed as Glasgow.

Catholic not only is the largest, but shows the greatest actual increase, though there is nothing phenomenal in it's proportionate gain. The total num-
 Der of its communicants is estimated at S,27l 1909, and its gain since the open
 ing of 1896 at 272,1S7 This shows an
 increase of about three and one-half
 per cent, while the religious bodies of
 the country as whole have added
 slightly less than three per cent to
 their numbers
 Next to the Roman Catholics in actu-
 al gains come the seventeen bodies of Methodists, who have added 16S,776
 communicants and stand second in the
 list In total numbers. with 5,65S,2S9
 names enrolled on their books, The
 Methodist Episcopal Church, the strongest of the various Methodist sects, is credited with 2,675,0S5 menl-
 bers, and shows a gain of 5,050 in the
 year The Baptists are next in order, with thirteen bodies embracing 4,153,S
 members, of whom S531S have been ad- ded within the twelvemonth. Of these
 the regular" Baptists have gained 3D.
 Sl4 and number 3,S60,666 all told. Next | to the Baptists are the Presbyterians (twelve bodies), with 1,46O 346 members,
 and then succeed the Lutherans (nine-
 teen bodies), with 1,420,9O5, and the Dis
 ciples of Christ, with 1,OOS,672.
 l Not the least interesting fact about the growth of these churches is that | far in the lead of the other Protestant bodies, are growing more slowly in pro- portion than some of the latter. The
 Methodists have gained less than three per cent during the year, and the Bap- lists have increased but little more
 than two. The Anglican communion has gained more than three per cent. in members, and so has the Congrega-
 tionaI Church. The Episcopalians and CongregatlonalStS are increasing very equally. The former added 19,950 com
 municants in 1896 and the latter about 10000, while the total number of Epis-
 copalians is put at 6S6,773 and the Con- gregationalists number 622, 557. The Unitarians and Universalists, though strong in this part of the country, have few adherents in the country as a
 whole. The former number 10000, hav- ing increased their numbers by 1,500 in the year, and the latter report 49025 communicants, with gain of 1099. These facts as whole are very en- couraging. They indicate that neither
 the bicycle nor the devil has yet con quered the churches.
