NEW CHARTER or SAN FRANCISCO.

The people of San Francisco have just
accepted ut the polls new charter.
which the Literary Digest says con
tains the most advanced ideas Of Demo-
cratic government yet embodied in our
municipal administration" 1t provides
for the civil service system of appoint
ments to office by competitive eXamina
tons. Also for the initiative and refer
endum. The initiative provision is that
upon the petition of Is per cent of the
voters any ordinance or any amendment
to the charter suggested by them shall
be submitted to the people at the polls
for acceptance or rejection. The referen-
DUN is a provision that upon a like petit
ton of Is per cent Of the voters any
ordinance or regulation adopted by the
board of aldermen shall be submitted 10
the people for ratification or rejection.
The new charter further limits street
railway franchises to p years at the end
of which time the track and roadbcd
shall become the absolute property of the
city without any money payment there
for. When any franchise of any kind is
applied for the board Of supervisors
shall decide whether such franchise shall
be granted and if they so decide the priv
ilege must be disposed of by public auc-
ton, and tie bidders must pay the city
a minimum of per cent and the fran
chise shall further be subject to disap
proval by submission to a popular vote
if II per cent of the voters shall ask
for such submission.
The charter declares it TO be ''the pur
pose and intention of the city and coun-
ty that its public utilities shall be grad
ually acquired and ultimately owned by
the city and county," and every fran
chise shall be granted with provisions
looking to that end.
This new departure Of one of our
greatest cities will be watched with
great interest especially as it is one of
the great cities in which corporations
and great combinations of capital have
hitherto been in the most uncontrolled
and absolute authority.

HERE'S A H0WDY DO.

Our old friend You-see-bius SigmOn,
the Republican warhorse of Catawba.
is not happy at ALL He owns the Hick
DRY Press. and has a medium through
which to give vent to his great thoughts
In late issue we read:
"The Republican primary for South
Hickory precinct that met here Tues
day, did not represent the rank and file
of that party, and was strictly cut
and dried affair. The primary was
packed with negroes especially invited
to carry out the plans of the disgrun-
tied office seekers and BOSSES"
Unless we are misinformed nine
tenths of the Republican voters in Hicl,-
DRY are negroes. If they are fit to rule
the State as Mr.. Sigman declares them
TO be by his vote, why are they not fit
to control the primaries of the Repub-
lican party? He tells us that the
primary was packed with negroes. 8"
and that the primary did not repre-
sent the rank and file of the party"
As the negroes constitute four-ffths Of
the voters of the Republican party. how
can it be said they do not represent
the rank and file?" As Il matter of
fact, except the office holders, office
seekers and few men who hayn't learn
ed anything since the issues of 1860
the negroes are ''the whole thing in the
Republican party in the South, and
everybody knows it.
We sympathize with Mr.. Sigman.
While the average Republican accepts
packing conventions with negroes as
the right and proper thing, and gories
in it, Mr.. SiGman was once Demo
crat, and though he has fallen from
grace, he still has the spark of the old
fire, and the spectacle of packing con-
ventions with negroes does not set well
on his stomach. The truth is that this
packing business in Hickory ought to
open his eyes, and the eyes of every
other Republicans who wants decent
government TO the fact that they have
put the North Carolina government in
the hands of men who owe their eleva
ton to bribery, fraud and packing
primaries with negroes. If it is to be
condemned in a little primary in Hick-
DRY, is it not terrible disgrace to i'm
pose such government upon this old
commonwealth?

De FAcTO JUDGE.

In our editorial yesterday, we were
inadvertent in saying that parties liti-
giant in civil eases, or defendants in
criminal cases, could question the title
of Judge Carter or Judge Norwood if
either held court A member of the bar
has called to our attention that it has al.
ways been held in this State, the au-
thorities being summed up in the recent
case of State VS.. Lewis, 107 n. G. Re-
ports, that when a judge holding com
mission under the broad seal of the
State appears and holds court he is Il
dc facto judge and the validity of his
commission cannot be called in question
by parties before him on trial. His title
can only be tested by a quo warranto
proceeding brought either by another
claimant Of the office or by the attorney
general.
