AN IDOLS powNFAI.I,.

The great proponent of the charter Of

finance and the sole barrier against the
disregard by officials of the requirements
Of our local fundamental law, now stands,
pitifui to relate, all but convicted Of the
awful charge which he has hurled from
time to time at all official creatfon-the
disregard of the city charter.
1t has indeed come to sad pass when
our impeccable city comptroller finds
himself confronted by peremptory or
der that he shall fulfill the requirements
of the city charter. What an example
to set! Here Is the last and chief idol
of local Republican reform thrown from
its pedestal and shattered in the smither-
Gems. Here is the great man m whose
austere presence all who had business
or official relations with the city have
been made to feel their own innate ten
dency to crime reduced to the proper
tons Of one Of bis own ciphers.
When it is found within the compass
of the powers of an Insignificant street
committee, to tell this great man to
come, and he comes and to go and he
goes, and wretched partisan co-ohiciaI
one who has hardly warmed him

urges that committee on it's reckless

Having succeeded i'll making the rail-

tive, 1t has been suggested by some Re-
publfcans that the incoming legislature
shall provide for the election of state
superintendent of public instruction, and
we shall not be surprised if the legis-
lature tries to pass a law to shorten the
term of the state public examiner from
three to two years, as they cannot toll
crate the thought Of a Democrat holding
the Office one year under Republican
state administration. The defeat of TIE
Republican party two years ago was such
shock to the leaders of the party that
they will endeavor to close all possible
loopholes for Democrats to creep in
again.

The Beauty of Georgian women.

Henry Norman in Scribner's.
Are the women of Georgia as beautiful
as we have always been told? When they
become matrons, which is at an early
age. they are too stout and broad in tha
beam for beauty. but In their youth, I
should judge from the glimpses at win
dows and passing faces, there may well
be extraordinary loneliness among then1-<
the loveliness of perfectly chiseled fea-
lures true to the racial type. large, calm,
dark eyes, firm. full mouth. alabaster
skin, fndigo-black hair-the precise anti
thesis of the piquancy OF irregular fea@
lures and nervous temperament which
generally passes for beauty among our
selves. These are women, you feel, whose
lips would whisper passionate love or.
sends their men to battle-Whose fingers
would grasp the dagger or fall lightly
across the strings OF the lutte with equal
aptness. Dagger and war song, however,
are out Of date today.

mean proportions, was found in league |
with that wretched street committee and
the adventurous Bremen to bring down
with the rope and tackle Of the law the
idol of local reform from its pedestal.
But to have the unspeakable Bremen
gest his own ability to piece the shatter-
ed fragments Of the idol with the aid OF
two of his assistant clerks, was indeed
insult added to injury
1t was with politeness, we are told,
that the idol refused to submit to being
placed together. Politeness is well, even
on the part of idols when they conde
Scend at all to make their will known.
But laying metaphore aside, the G o b e
fears that Comptroller McCardy made
grievous mistake when he refused to ac-
cept the offer of City Treasurer Bremen
so generously rendered, of two Of his as
sistants for the purpose Of enabling the
comptroller to comply with the provis-
ions Of the city charter against which
that official makes his vain protest The
acceptance of such an offer would save
the city the expense of two expert ac-
countants which the comptroller says
would be necessary. And in the saving
to the city of any amount whatever, of
course there is nc one to question the en-
thusiastte devotion of the comptroller.
Moreover, by the judieious interchange
of views and experiences which would
naturally result If the city treasurer
were allowed the free access to the comp
troller's books, even Mr.. Bremen might
be able to secure enlightenment as would
be of great value to him in the early
stages of his official career. He is very
evidently, as the city comptroller sees,
an inexperienced man; and if he We're
allowed. by the thoughtful aid of the
comptroller, to fathom the splendid sys-
tenn which the comptroller has in vogue
in his office he might learn a few facts
which would prove of future value Mr.
McCardy of course has nothing to con-
ceal. He is not known to have secured
copyright on his system. In the spirit
of official brotherhood he Would be rem
dering a great service no doubt to the
city treasurer. VINO is yet young, if he
would let him into any little secrets
which the system holds, which of course
must be designed wholly for the good of
the city service.
The Globe offers this suggestion to
the city comptroller III the spirit of fond
attachment which has always distin-
guished this paper in its relations toward
Mr.. McCardy officially; and suggests that
such course might mitigate some of the
wrongs which have been perpetrated on
him by forcing him to a compliance with
the requirements of the city charter.

Teddy and the Ice Trust.

Wabasha Herald
Teddy Roosevelt has retired from the
Office of governor of New York, without
doing single thing to the men who held
stock in that terrible ''ice trust" The
ice trust was to suffer all kinds of pun
ishment at Teddy's hands, as soon as
the presidential campaign was over, and
he had little time. No one heard it
mentioned after election day. Teddy is
just about as honest as are politicians
generally, or nearly so.

There should be honor among thieves,
or at least professional courtesy. The
salt trust charges four prices for salt
and the public submits to being bled with
all the meekness of an tmbeeile. Being
young and Unsuitable, the salt trust tried
the same process on the beef combine
which uses immense quantities of salt
AS a result the Armour Packing COM
pany, of Kansas City, bought %, eco tons
of salt from Portugal and made good
bargain at that. Now, what will the
salt trust do? Will it buy up the salt
mines in Portugal? They say. that when
thieves fight among themselves, good
men prosper. Let US have some more
prosperity!
