PROPOSED CITY CHARTER.
Discussed al Last Nights Meeting Of Beacon Hill
Improvement Sociely.

The Beacon Hill Improvement society
met i'm Highland chapel last evening,
with very light attendance. and the
subject discussed was the proposed new
city charter. Remarks were made by
Rathbone Gardner. who said that the
commission believed that it was better
TO prepare and submit for discussion a
charter that was right as whole. 1t
might be harder for such a one To be
accepted than one purely expedient, but
i'm the end IL would be worth while.
There is the aim in the charter itself
To place i'm the city bodies all the leg
islativc functions possible.
Prof. Dealey of Brown university
thought IL extremely peculiar that a
democratic nation should believe In
car rule for that il what one-man
power is. The city places the man in
the office, praying that he will be a good
despot, but resting assured that he'll
be despot. Still. he believed that i'm
view of the present incompetency and
corruption OF the Legislative bodies il is
necessary To have cZar rule, ana ne
would vote for the charter as n whole.
Councilman Sisson said that under
the proposed plan the people could
come nearer the government. holding
the mayor responsible for everything
and turning him out when all does not
run well. He did not see the advantage
OF two branches of the city govern
ment. as the one now often passes bills
and resolutions only because they were
advocated in and passed by the other.

THE HOSPITAL CORPS.
Or. Croker Advanced 10 a First lieulenanoy and
Or. Calder Elected Second Lieutenant

The Hospital Corps Brigade OF Rhode
Island Militia, met last evening. for the
purpose of electing its officers Capt. n.
Darrell Harvey, commander of the
corps, presiding. The result of the cleo
ition was that Dr. George III, Crooker,
second lieutenant, was advanced to
first lieutenant and DR.. Augustus w.
Calder was elected TO the vacancy thus
made in the offiCeyof second lieutenant.
Both of these gentlemen are very
popular, and the winter drills OF the
company will SO on with renewed en-
thusiasm. The corps is taking up more
practical work than ever before, the ex-
perience of Capt. Harvey at Camp
Meade having convinced him that much
of the theoretical drill laid out in the
manuals is useless. or practically so.

THE STATE AUTHORSHIP.


There Is some talk today I'm political
circles concerning the appointment Of
col. Albert g. Landers To the Office OF
postmaster OF Newport. which upon his
qualification TO the office. or some little
time prior, will necessitate his resig-
nation Az state auditor and insurance
commissioner. col Landers' appoint
ment has not yet been confirmed by
the Sen1e, but there seems To be no
reason TO doubt that 1t win be very
shortly.
Immediately upon the resignation Of
col. Landers il will become necessary
to appoint state auditor for il is inn
possible To conduct the affairs OF state,
even for a few days, without such an
official, for accounts are coming into
office daily and need official action. The
law gives authority 10 the governor TO
appoint such official at any time when
the General Assembly IL not in session,
and If Col Landers assumes charge or
the Newport postoffice any time prior
70 the last Tuesday i'm January next, 1t
will dcYolVc upon Gov. Dyer To ap-
point his successor until such time as
the Legislature can meet in grand COM
mittee.
There was talk this morning, among
those who are well Informed as 10 mat
ters political, that there was great
probability that the successor To Col.
Landers would be Col John Il. Sanborn,
of Newport. editor of the Newport
Mercury, Col Sanborn is an ex-speaker
of the House. an ex-senator. and Is at
present representative i'm the General
Assembly from Newport. being one of
the leaders OF the House. and has al
ways been power in the front ranks
OF the Republican party.
