CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

The Committee having In charge the
ter might have gone little further
in their good work without going
amiss. AS it is. they have really done
good work. Now let the Councils and
the Legislature act.
We would respectfully recommend
two things that might have added to
the report.
First. the Mayor should be given a
veto power. This Is important. The
Mayor should, and of right ought to- be
sort OF Governor of the City. He
should be responsible for the admins
tration. We have more to say later
along this line but such other changes
can be done by ordinance. The posi-
ton Of Mayor Of the City of Norfolk is
position of honor; 1t should likewise
be position OF trust.
Secondly. the City Attorney should
be elected by the Councils. lie is really
THEIR LEGAL ADVISER. and should
be in close sympathy and touch with
them. indeed II is Impossible FOR any
Committee or the Councils to do any
thing of importance witheut the legal
help of the City Attorney. This is one
of the most important offices In the
city; for one slip on his part may cost
the city dearly. 1t should command a
good salary; for the work is hard. try

These are things we NOW beg to
suggest In commencing the action OF

always easy work for a committee to
do this.

salaries is especially commendable.

OF steady. sturdy. independent, we'll
Informed and we'll educated men.
Its members are most pronounced
Democrats. IN principle, and not serfs

decide for cause, not favorltism. There
are some unruly spirits, some preju-
diced. and some POLITICIANS, but
they mako such a small minority as not
to count.
This Legislature has taken the ini-
tiative, pushed to the front and passed
the Jim Crow" car bill; it has modi-
fled the, delinquent tax law; it killed
the effort to endanger the quarantine
law OF Portsmouth and Norfolk; it has
laid out The politicians whenever they
opposed the people.
Their intention is good, their courage

Legislature has set premium upon
merit and upon manhood. and it's repu-

Admiral Dewey, in n note to Senator
Lodge, makes the following remarkable
statement about the mutual relations,
formerly, between himself and ,Aguln-
aldo:
II never treated him as an ally, EN-
CEPT TO MAKE USE OF HIM AND
THE SOLDIERS TO ASSIST ME IN
ANY OPERATIONS AGAINST THE
SPANIARDS."
That is an execution that seems to
prove the alliance. There was no for
NAL official alliance; but to all practical
intents and purposes, the alliance was
complete. though 1t seems that Aguin-
aldo. in his confiding simplicity, was
over-reachcd by the Mckinley sharp
practice-bcing used and abused in a
most lrcacherous manner.
The more we know OF the truth of
this Philippine ignominy the more
unworthy proves the part played in II
by this Republican administration.

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFEp

Patrick Henry said: "As for me-
give me liberty, or give me death."
Before him. however. Shakespeare, who
knew high minded men. had put SINH

his public-spir!tcd characters; and he
makes Casslus, speaking to Brutus,
say:
II had as lief not be as live TO be

Liberty or DEATH" is the voice of
manhood. Over II century ago it awokc
this Western Wilderness, and an Amer
lean freedom asserted itself against
British tyranny. To-day the same voice
is heard In the African wilderness,
where, in response TO the British:

words OF Patrick Henry: Liberty or

them frantic in his efforts to get at

Practical Jokes Two Maine Men Play
 on Each Other for IEs~- Pastime.

In a certain city in the state of Maine, call it Lewiston, for example,. live two men that for years have been playing practical jokes on each other. but so far it has been ''stand-off'' be- tween them. One of the men keeps a iced and grain store, the other is the owner of trucking business, one team of which he drives himself.
 On rainy day not very long ago the grain man asked the truck man if he could tell him where he could find rent for friend of his that wanted to move into the city from a neighbOring town. The truckman replied that he could,- and invited the grain man to get into his team with him ard he would show him the rent. The truck man drove slowly along the different streets through the pouring rain. untii at last he drove up before the grain mans store.
 Well, where's the rent you promised to show me?" said the grain man, with considerable indignation.
 ''Why, there it is" said the truck man, as he pointed to bag in the bot lOA O1 lhC "dSOH W1lu a 1dL Sc 4O-G LII it, there is the rent.'
 Time went on, and although the grain man was chaffed considerably about rents, he took it all goOd-naturedly, and patiently bided his time.
 About month later, after the joke had almost been forgotten, the truck man was employed by the grain man to go to the outskirts of the city and get trunk and bring it to the store. It was a long ride out to the place, and the rain made it all the more uncomfort- able.
 Arriving at the place, the trunk was put in the team, and the truekman in due course arrived at the store, only to be informed that he was to take it to another place, where the proprietor of the grain store would be found. ArriY- ing at the last-named place, he asked the grain man where he wanted the trunk put, and was told to put it in the trent" he had shown the grain man a short time before. Up to date hOnOrs are easy.-Portland (Me.) Express.

CHINESE GOING HOME.
Large Numbers Who Have Died
 Abroad in Recent Years VIII De Sent to China.

All the overland trains arriving at Seattle these days bear contingents of Chinese homeward bound. During a recent week at least 400 of the Mon- golians left Seattle for Victoria, from which port they were to sail for Hong Kong.
 Next year is to be big one in the history of China, and this is the. chief cause of the great exodus. It is then that the "Six Companies" in America will superintend the shipment of the bones of dead Chinese to China. Rep-s resentatives of the empire will be sent to all foreign lands for the same pur= rose, and the beginning of 1900 will witness impressive ceremonies con- nected with the reinterment of the bones in the soil of the Flowery King dom oA @ more elaborate scale than ever before.
 During a period beginning about the middle of January, so an old gray headed Chinaman stated, and lasting until the middle of March or April, the people in all parts of the empire will observe sacred holiday. During it's progress lasts and symbolic rites will be observed, and during all this time the task of laying the bones in new resting places will be carried on. 1t is to witness these ceremonies that a large number of Chinese are jour neying across the Pacific.
 Another class is going home, never to return, and among these, it is said. are many of the better class. of Can tonese to be found in this country. They are those who have grown rich in America, and, finding old age com ing on, are anxious to go home and spend the remainder of their days in ease and comfort.
