A COOL. WET SPRINU.

The popular disgust which has been inspired
nv several weeks Of cloudlness and rain Is am
ply justified Nobody outside the umbrella and
condition of affairs. Nevertheless, to the close
observer and the philosopher this wet spring
should occasion no surprise. To be sure. II Is
unusual But there Is one great fundamental
lf-eyident fact that should always be kept In
mind when forming opinions about such mete-
geological extravaganccs and iniquties. The
weather In this part of the world has no trait
so characteristic IA It's unusualness. Weather
is In It's normal condition only when 1t Is more
or less abnormal This statement seems para
doxical, but II is not. 1t Is simple, well-estab
l,shed scientific fact Out OF the whole 365 days
in a year. not over dCzen-perhaps not that
many-conform precisely to the proper average
for the season IN hours Of sunshine, amount OF
rain. temperature, wind direction and velocity
and atmospheric pressure. The others are either
too dry or too wet too warm or too cold, too
calm or too breezy, or too something or other
else The departure from the standard may not
be great but q variation Of some kind Is to be
expected on general principles.
Moreover II Is now well recognized that in
middle attitudes any little eccentricity. like an
offset by one Of the opposite kind. On the con-
trary, after the weather has once shown a dis
position to be peculiar for few days the
chances are that the tendency will continue to
be manifest for weeks. After q careful study Of
this phenomenon in the British Isles twelve or

SAN FRANCISCOS NEW CHARTER.

The people OF San Francisco on Thursday
adopted a new charter. to go into effect on
January I, 1900 which Is a novelty IN Ameri-
can municipal history. It Is a return to the
direct democracy OF the New-England town
meeting on large scale, with n representative
system grated on to attend to the work which
the people probably Will not do, while leaving
them liberty to undertake so much Of their
own government as they may desire. Or,
rather, 1t is a representative system quite con-
ventional except in details. with town meet
ing added in the form OF initiative and refer
endum provisions. The New England system
was compulsory popular legislation under the
penalty Of no legislation at all This initiative
and referendum system is permlssive popular
legislation which may be a triumph Of democ-
racy and may be only triumph Of cranks. At
any rate, II is ar interesting experiment.
The formation Of this charter is an advanced
example Of the exercise OF municipal home rule.
The Constitution Of California gives the cities
Of the State the uncommon privilege OF franz
ing their own charters subject simply to the
veto power Of the Legislature. Exercising that
right, the people. acting through fifteen Free
holders elected for that purpose, have drawn
up the new charter. which has been adopted by
over 1000 majority. If the Legislature ap-
proves 1t Will become the local constitution.
But home rule does not end with this, for the
city has taken precautions to guard against
any future interference, even by veto, with
its management Of It's own affairs. II the
Legislature once let's the charter become law
frs hands will be taken Off San Francisco for
an indefinite time. The charter provides for It's
own amendment by the people without appeal
to the Legislature. So the present provisions
Of that instrument may be only a form to be
entirely remodelled by the city at It's own pleas
ure until It has no resemblance to the laws 10
which tAn State authorities gave approval That
Is an extreme delegation OF powers, such as we
think has never before been made In an Ameri-
can State.
The city is to have legislative body with
full power to pass ordinances, so that all neces-
sary local laws can be enacted without appeal
TO the voters But at any time Is per cent of
the citizens voting at the last election may
draft an ordinance or amendment to the char
ter. and petition for a special election to vote
on their proposals. These may be adopted by
a simple majority Of those taking the trouble
to cast ballot at this special election, 1t not
being necessary that a majority Of the electors,
or even q majority Of those called out by a
general election. should favor the innovation.
The Mayor has large powers Of appointment
and removal. He can suspend all elected off,
GERS except the Supervisors-tbe city legislators
