vides FOr-Powers of the Mayor.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-On Jan. l, 1898,
New York will become the second city in
the world, says a writer in the New Tork
Tribune. 1t will have population of b.
800 900, with wealth, public works. reveaue
and expenditure and all other features oe
municipal existence, on a commensurate
scale. On the same date 1t will enter upon
an entirely new system of local govern
ment. Under its charter its mayor will
have greater authority over it than the
President has over the Nation. The per-
sonal composition Of the new government
on which the welfars OF the great city will
depend is to be determined by the voters
on Nov. 2 The men elected on that day
will be the rulers of community richer,
more spopulous and more important than
most Of the States of this Union. No won
der, then, that the local campaign attracts
national and even international attention.
1t is the practical working out of the great-
est experiment in municipal government
ever tried in the history of the human race.
Below will be found detailed account oc
the new form of government, of the pIin-
ciples which, according to those who de-
vised it, should control 1t. and OF the mosa
conspicuous effort made to give those prin-
ciples practical effect.
The most noteworthy city charter ever
enacted is that known as Chapter S7S Laws

GORMAN'S FATE IN DOUBT.
He VIII Be Ousted from the senate If
RepubIicans Carry Maryland.

Republicans Carry Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-The voters of
Maryland will on Tuesday elect a state
controller, a clerk of the Court of Appeals
and new Legislature. which in turn will
choose a successor to United States Senator
Arthur Pue German In the city of Balti-
more mayor and new Council will be
chosen. The campaign, which has been an
unusually bitter one, closed last night with
mass meetings along the line, and nothing
now remains but to cast and count the vote
The state offices to be filed are unim-
portant, the main interest centering in the
legislative contest. If the Democrats win
Senator German will doubtless be chosen
Tor another term, while ii the Republicans
are victorious there will probably be a
snarp ngnt for the seat among dozen as
paIdhls, with the chanceS slightly in favor
or the selection of Congressman Sydney L.
Mudd, of Charles county
AS to the outcome of the coming election
1t can only be said that the result is IN
great doubt, though both sides claim to be
able to count enough votes in the Legisla-
ture TO secure majority on joint ballot
ana 70 elect the United States senator. The
Republicans have slight advantage in that
of the thirteen hold-over state senators nine
are Republicans. A large number of gold
standard Democrats are opposing the re-
election of Senator German in which they
are Joined by the Baltimore Sun and the
Evening News, both of which have always
OCGl SlIOHSly A1SutOCFdIIC unI1l WlInln the
past two years. On the other hand, the
American, heretofore warmly Republican, is
lukewarm in its support of the Republican
candidates, and the Herald, which has
hitherto been neutral in its position, has
espoused the German cause with consider
able vigor
In Baltimore city William Malster is the
Republican candidate for the mayoralty, his
opponent being Henry Williams. Both are
prominent merchants, Mr.. Williams being
president of the Weems line of steamboats,,
while Mr., Malster is at the head of the
Columbian iron works In the city, as in
the State both sides claim 10 have a ma
jority of the votes, but there are divisions
and dissensions in the ranks of both par
ties which make the outcome an extremely
doubtful matter.

will and managed to save the neigh

A snNs1RLE INTERPRETATION.

In the Supreme Court of Pennsylva-
mia Justice Fell handed down a deci-
sion which is Of interestto every board Of
public ceducationin in the country. There are
to be found in every city and town per-
sons who think that when the pubic
schools are not being used by the teach
ers and scholars they should be placed
at the disposal Of anyone who wants to
use them for any purpose. Justice
Fells decision was in the case of Ben
der VS.. Streabick ct al, which was ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court from the
Common Pleas Court of Lancaster
county. It involved the question Of the
right of school directors to permit
school property to be used for other
than strictly school purposes. The fol-
lowing is the decision;
The bill in this case was fled to re-
strain the defendants, who are the
members of a board Of school directors,
from permitting the use of the school
houses under their charge for sectarian
religious meetings and for the holding
of public lyceums. The only question
presented is whether school directors
may permit or authorize the use of
school buildings for other than school
purposes. This question, so far as 1t re-
lates to their use for religious meetings
is fully answered by the decision in Hy-
sing VS.. School District of Galliizen
Borough, 164 Pa, 629. The use of school
buildings by the community at large
for public meetings for the discussion
OF subjects of general interest may b'
said to be in the line of theil
use for educational purposes, buf
1t is not the use intended by the law
The public school system is for the in
struction of pupils who may attend th'
schools. and not for the instruction Ol
entertainment of other persons. Th'
school directors are trustees of th'
school property for that use and the!
may not. against objection, authorize o
permit its use for other purposes.
the school buildings may be used 70
the convenience, pleasure or instruction
of the general public, all other schOo
property may, with equal prOpriety b
so used. and it would be but a step fur
ther to apply a part of the school fund
to the same use. This view of the laV
does nCt forbid the use of the building
for any purpose directly related to tn
instruction of the pupils OF the schools
and It does not exclude their use for lsC
lures or debates which are made par
OF the course Of instruction. The dc
cree is affirmed.
1t strikes us that this is a wonderful
ly sensible Interpretation of the sohoC
law, and that it is broad enough 1
