Acts and Practces.'
Be it ordained, by the Mayor, Aldermen and

SECTION l. No child under sixteen years of

hour Of eight O'Clock in the afternoon from No
vember first to the last day of April, both nclu-
sive, OF each year, unless accompanied by Il

to aid in the practical enforcement of this Ordi-
nance it is hereby made the duty Of the chief Ell

The proposed new charter for the
city of Portland, as before noted. abol-
ishes the common council A similar
radical change is proposed for Augusta
by MI Charles S. Hichborn, chairman
of the common council of that city. He
would substitute one general board for
the present board Of aldermen and
common council There are now eight
wards, and he faYors a reduction to
seven. so that III voting there should be
no ties. Each ward would be entitled
to three members of the board, nomi-
mated in ward caucuses, but elected on
a general ticket. He thinks that each
citizen should have the right to vote
for all the members of the city govern
ment, as they represent all the people
and do not act by wards. Mr.. HIGH
born also advocates an arrangement by
which one representative only shall be
retired each year, two experienced men
from each ward thereby always sitting
in the city council. In this manner he
believes that policy adopted by one
city government would be perpetuated,
and the breaks which sometimes occur
when new men come in, be escaped
One of the reasons for a general board
noted by him is that all the members
would have an opportunity to heal
everything that was said or done in
relation to any matter under considera-
ton. AS it is now, much important in
formation is brought out on subject
in the board of aldermen which does
not reach the councilmen when it comes
to them for action, and vice versa
This seems to us very strong point II
favor of the proposed change, ano
would enable business to be disposed OF
promptly that often goes over for
month because of disagreement be
tween the two bodies.

The vote of Nebraska in the late election
would seem to go far to dispel any miscon-
ception as to Mr.. Bryan's popularity. The
was 1892, while that against the Democratic

Bryan is personally esteemed in Nebraska,

COLvILLE IN DISGRACE.


LONDON, Dec. 27.-The War Office has
begun the promised reform OF the army in
a sensational manner. 1t has demanded
the resignation of Mai. Gen. Sir Henry
Coiville. commanding an infantry brigade
at Gibraltar and recently commanding the
Ninth OK the South Africa field force
General Colville refuses TO resign, and he
IS now on his way TO England. The news
Is all the more startling as the question OF
General Colville's responsibility for the
yeomanry disaster at Lindlay last May was
fully investigated by the authorities when
General Colviile returned from South Afri-
"a last summer. After the inquiry Gen
Colville was reinstated in his command at
Gibraltar in September last. The attitude
of the War Office indicates that a new
regime in Pail Mall Will reverse the de-
cssions OF Lord LaEsdowne and Lord
wolseley In regard TO some OF the recent
commanders IN South Africa. General Col
vile like General Methuen. has always
been a great social parsonage I'm London
and a prominent ciubman. He has had a
most distinguished career, has been re-
reatedly mentioned I'm dispatches and is
familiarly known as "Odgers." He is also
a weH-known author. and on the occasion
of his marriage created stir by going on
his honeymoon In balloon.
