THE NEW CHARTER.

One of the strongest arguments for
the adoption of circus lemonade is that
it was made in the shade. 1t is not a
strong argument for the adoption of a
city charter that it was made in the
shade. Finally realizing this, some of
those who worked in the shade now
an opportunity to at least glance at
the result of their work. This is en-
tirely proper Before a new charter Is
put on to the city the common council
should not only have ample opportuni-
ty to discuss it, but the people should
also have a chance to have their say
about it, One of the powerful argu-
ments made In favor of the proposed
charter is that any citizen has right
to draw up charter and ask the legis-
lature to consider it. 1t seems to us
that it is an equally powerful argument
to say that before any charter is put on
to the city the common council and all
the citizens should have at least as
much to do with the performance as
any one citizen. This argument is, of
course, only an argument founded on a
prejudice in favor of popular rights,
but that prejudice is still strong, and
charter makers should not entirely ig-
more it's existence.

sion was without cause, and not on ac-
count of any misconduct or violation

solely on account of charges made
against her individually,
The mandamus applied for by Mrs,
Purse was granted, the court holding
that 1t was against public policy to eX-

GOOD NEWS FOR GIRLS And BOYS

All good little girls and boys like so
well to go to school that they will be
greatly pleased by decision which
has Just been made by the Superior
court of Barlow county, Georgia. This
decision indicates that little girls and
boys cannot be deprived of the inesti-
mably precious right of going to school
just because some cranky teacher or
school superintendent wants to deprive
them of it. The trouble which brought
out this decision occurred in Carriers
vile in the school attended by three
daughters of Mr.. J. l.. Purse. One of
the girls had violated some rule, and
had been rebuked by her teacher. The
mother resented this, and, calling at
the schoolhouse during recitation
The latter reported the facts to the To-
cal superintendent, who thereupon
wrote q brief note to Mr.. Purse notify
ing him that the children must be sus-
pended until the wrong done by their
mother had been righted Mrs. Purse
appealed to the grievance committee
of the board of education, who approv-
ed the action of the superintendent
She then petitioned the judge of the
Superior court of Barlow county to is

A GOOD SIGN OF THE TIM Els.

The breakup of the big steel pool
which has been in active and success
full operation for nearly ten years will
have an important effect in the direc-
ton of increased business activity. The
pool has persistently held the price of
steel rails at a point which has made
more rails than they were actually
obliged to buy. They have let their
rails lie just as long as they dared to,
and have been waiting in the hope that
there would be fall in the price. The
price Of rails has also been powerful
deterrent to new railroad enterprises.
AS d result Of the high price maintained
and the general industrial depression
that has prevailed, the mileage of new
railroad track in 1895 and 1896 was
lower than for twenty years past. In
one decade the decrease has been from
$1,000 miles to 1900 miles in 1896. In
eleven States and territories no track
was laid last year OF the States in
which construction was carried on Cali
fornia led with 1877 miles. Only frac-
ton of a mile was built in Kansas,
while only 1877 miles of new track was
constructed in illinois.
The fall in the price of rails has al
ready made decided stir in the rail-
road world. The Illinois Central Rail-
road company has ordered fifty thou
sand tons. Large orders have also
been given by the Pennsylvania, Lake
Shore, and many other big lines, which
have stubborn1y refused to purchase
rails at the price fixed by the pool.
This means work for thousands of
| operatives in the steel mills and work
for thousands of track-layers. 1t
means the distribution of millions of
money and an increase of activity and
prosperity in many places. 1t is a
very important sign of the times, which
are soon to be much better than they
have been.

of securing the passage by the legisla-
ture of bill providing for a bounty of
one cent a pound upon ell sugar man
ufactured from beets for which 81 or

of the act are to apply to firms erecting
and completing sugar factories within
