THE INTEREST IS REVIVED.
NEW CHARTER FOR THE CITY MAY
PASS IN JANUARY.

LOCAL POLITICIANS THINK THAT
MORE POLITICS SHOULD BE IN
JECTED INTO IT. AND THAT
THEN 1T WILL BE A GOOD THING
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO ACT
UPON.
Renewed interest is being manifested
in the new city charter, drafted by the
Municipal Commission, submitted to
the General Assembly. and by that body
referred back to the Municipal Com
mission with scarcely a word of expla-
nation from its opponents.
This interest of the present time is
not to be found in the Municipal Com
mission, for that body has done moth
ing. All that it can do is to revise the
instrument of its creation and resubmit
it for approval or rejection.
But now the politicians have taken it
in hand, and it is being revised outside
the commission by men who make a
business Of politics and who admit chat
the bill as at present existing is a solid
foundation for new charter, but they
declare that it needs revision because
there is not enough politics in it," 1t
Is understood that under these aus
pices the bill win be brought up at the
January session and an earnest effort
made to push it through the General
Assembly in time to save the Police
Commission from passing into Republi-
can hands now that Judge Spruance
and not Judge Grubb has the appoint
ment of the commissioners.
I'VE are seriously considering the ad-
visibility of making some radical
amendments to the charter and then
giving it our support" said a Democrat
of prominence to an Evening Journal
reporter this morning. Whatever we
do will be submitted to the Municipal
Commission for its consideration, for,
you know. Bryan says that from the
comparison of ideas truth is evolved.
We have not done anything as yet, but
we feel that the commission should not
be ignored in the consideration of a
measure which they spent SO many
months in considering and framing.
Their work is too conservative. Party
interest demands that more politics be
injected into it. but l. for one, am not
in favor of making il an extremely
partisan measure"

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE WHITE PINE DUTY.

Next to the tariff tax on hides, the
duty en- white pine timber is perhaps
the most direct blow to the New Eng
land interests which the Republican
tariff contemplates. The former is i'm
posed for the profit of the Chicago Beef
Trust; the latter at the demand Of the
lumber kings in Michigan, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin. Both are unwarrant-
able and oppressive eXactiOns
In order to put some $4,000 900 a year
into the already swollen pockets of the
few men who in combination own or
control our remaining pine forests, the
mills of New England and the various
industries into which lumber enters as
material are to be burdened with an
enormous tax. 1t rests not only upon
our manufacturers, but upon our house
builders, upon our farmers, upon all
who build barns or fences, or, indeed
live in houses.
AS the matter stands now, the Con-
ference Committee is attempting 10
reconcile the House rate of 81 per thou
sand feet with the Senate rate of ST. A
compromise at $3.50 would not give re-
lief 10 the proposed victims of this
gigantic robbery, and yet this is the
best that can be hoped for. The Wild
West evidently has the East on the hiI
in this Republican COngress.-Bostor

The report comes from London that
the colonial premiers are astonished at

quiet, drowsy sort of a place, despite

USE STRONGER ENVELOPES.

The many complaints of the loss Of
the contents of registered letters has
led the Post Office Department to
amend the postal regulations, and the
postmssters of the country, including
those in this city and state, have been
specifically instructed to require
stronger envelopes. when the letters
presented for registry give evidence of
containing coin or bulky matter, than
would be demanded ordinarily. An in
vestigation has shown that a large ma
ority of the losses has been caused by
the poor quality of envelopes used.
1t is not likely that any person who
has articles of value to transmit by
mail will object to this new order
which is mutually protective in char
acter.
