AN INTERESTING GAME CASE.

Calais, December l1--Last week, Form
er Game Warden French OF this city, be-
fore starting on a trip to Boston crossed
to st. Croix and purchased in St.Stenhen
nine carcasses OF deer, which he uroDosed
to sell In the Massaohn setts city.
At Eastport Game Warden Breen Of
Princeton made seizure OF the deer meat
and arrested French, whom he charged
with violating that part OF this law for
bidding a person having more than two
deer In his possession.
The ex-warden produced a customs re-
ceipt from Calais official, showing that
he had paid duties on the deer and fur
nished bonds for double the amount of
tines which might be collected. He will
make tsst case OF the matter.
Warden Breen delivered the deer meat
to Mr.. French, who proceeded to Boston
1t Is said that the contention OF the game
official will be that If Mr.. French did not
break the game laws of Maine. he has left
himself liable for breaking the so-called
Lacy act. 1t will thus become an inter-
national question OF law, the decision or
hich will be watched with interest.

Is Of such vital Importance to every oiti-
zen that removal OF q faithful and
efficient chiaf would be q mistake that no
mayor would make. nor any board Of al
dermen approve.
Furthermore. the chief would be saved
the yearly anxiety; the humiliatinG
necessity Of importuning friends ana
prospective members of the city govern
ment; and could devote all his time aud
best efforts TO the CITY business. knowing
that his tenure OF cflioe depended upon
faithful service Co all, and NOT upon c
pull with few. And further, much
valuable time, and much embarrass-
Inent, would be saved to the members OF
the city government through immunity
from solicitation.
Ib may be we'll to bear In mind that the
citizens own the business; that the alder
men and councilmen are their agents
and all others engaged In city business,
are, so 60 speak, their servants, notwith-

business, in their capacity OF citizens.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

1.-The question as to whether General
Robert E. Lee once asked for pardon
seems TO have been settled by collection
OF documents recently discovered ~ Rev.
Dr. william Jones, formerly chaplain OF
the Army Of Northern Virginia. These
have been made public with the consent
OF the Lee family and this authorities OF
Washington and Lee University, with
which place I)r. Jones is now connected.
Among them is a letter written to
President johnson on June u. 1863. In
which General Lee asks "for the benefits
and full restoration OF all rights ana
privileges extended Co those included In
the proclamation of amnesty and par.
don" General Lee was not individually
rardoned, but was included in the list
or the general pardon to all not under In
dictment.

THE PRoPosED' CHARTER.


W 1tS @~Nttof W teS a 1900
The proposed new charter for the city
seems TO me to contain one very ohjeo'
tionable provision, and that is the one
which lengthens the term OF the alder
men to three years.
This term is altogether too long. It.
removes the city government too far from
the control OF the people. With three
aldermen from each ward, one elected
each year for three years, 1t is plain that
the citizens will be unable at any election
to compel change Of the policy Of the
city on any subject No matter how
change, If fifteen of the holdover men,
bers are opposed to 1t, that majority car
have its way
The purpose OF the now charter Is said
to be to establish a more stable and uni
form policy in city affairs, and to carry
cut this purpose 1t Is necessary that the
city council should not change wholly at
any municipal election, but that some OF
the old members should hold over to In
form their new associates as the business
OF the year progresses.
. Thera IL no doubt that the city business
can lie transacted with more intelligence,
greater economy, and better continuity OF
plan If a proportion of the old aldermen
hold over. The point / nresent Ii that
the proportion which holds over in the
new charter is entirely too large, that the
term of hold over is entirely too long, and
the result decided limitation upon the
power of the people to direct their own
affairs.
do not see why the requisite retention
of old members Is not practically reached
under annual elections by the general
custom of denominations. The new
board of al1ermsn Is to contain the same
number as the present common council,
and in the latter do not rememhe that
in the past thirty years less than one
third OF the number has consisted OF old
members. Usually the number OF re-
elected members Is about one half.
1t is reasonably certain that ths single
board in the new charter will always
contain from one quarter to one half Its
number in old members.
II, however, city council should
happen to be 50 thoroughly bad that the
people of every ward wish to kick out
every one OF the ward delegation, and
there is not one good man to redeem the
lot, then the right should exist.
Suoh an augean cleaning out does not
often come, but II pesessary, 1t should
come, even at the expense Of some errors
arising from the complete change OF
membership.
But If term OF one year is noi POSI-
Bile, what reason is there why it should
he stretched out beyond two years?
The number of aldermen from eanh
Il -, AIa
ed each year for term of two years This
viii give the continuity Of membership
sought for and at the same time the peo-
pie will retain the power OF directing
their own policy ana changing it at any
election. This keeps the total member
shin OF the city council the same as at
present,
1t Is q number none too large to fairly
represent the people AMI to inspire Them
with confidence. u. Q. II.

MT. Kruger is now thoroughly satisfied
that his mission to the European capitals
win amount to nothing so far as getting
assistance for his countrymen Is con-
cerned. He has been enthusiastically re-
oeived by the people OF France and Hol-
land, but no government has given him
any hope OF assistance, while several OF
them have utterly refusd to receive him.
Lord Salisbury has declared that the
Beers can expect no concessions whatever
from England, 50 there is nothing TO hope
for in that quarter. The only hope OF
assistance left Is a rising in Cape Colony,
and the British are taking very careful
precautions to prevent that.

There are signs OF more delay in the
Chinese business some of the ENJOYS
have discovered that the credentials OF ths
Chinese nsrotiators do not bsar ali the
insignis that they ought 10, and threaten
to hold up negotiations until all the miss
Ing seals are duly attached. AS the Chinese
govern ment has taken TO the woods, this
does not appear TO be an easy thing to
accomplish, SO that If it is insisted upon
there may be indefinite delay. Perhaps
at this bottom of this seeming effort for
delay may he the desire on the part OF
some of the generals to get an extension
OF time for looting, destroying tombs
and observatories, and doing various
other similar things In the interest OF
civilization.
