Labor Commissioner Powderly, speak ing of the difficulties attending the ad- ministration of the law excluding Chi nese, says: "Of those expressly men, toned among the excepted classes. there is perhaps more difficulty with such as claim to be merchants than with the others. Their extravagant and apparently improbable claims to large
 interests in mercantile houses in China are hard to reconcile with their frequent lack of money or apparent provision of means for their support here. Of the resident merchants. mora- over, who seek readmission, much the same statement may be made. Every conceivable device of ingenuity is used to establish q mercantile status. Ger tificates alleging such status are signe ! often as q mere matter of accommoda- ton by the white witnesses required by law. and a nebulous interest in al- leged mercantile firms with trivial supplies on hand and numerous part each or multiples thereof, leads to the inev table conclusion that, unless the law is amended by requiring more specific evidence. or the term ''mer- chant is defined more narrowly, the opening made by this exception is wide enough to let in almost any adult Chi naman'

Some time ago II was announced that Secretary Root had decided not to ap- point to lieutenancy w. r. Crawford of North Carolina, who had been d brave soldier. The reason was that there had come protests from the friends of a young woman whom he had tilted just before their wedding day. It seems the story has not reached it's end yet. The young man told the secretary that he was not willing to give the reasons for his conduct, but

We print a letter from one of our visitors from the north, who presum- ably is an invalid. He complains that misleading statements are sent out concerning the winter climate of the Salt River valley, and that some of our residents are not sufficiently consider ate of the feelings of consumptives on the hunt for suitable quarters. As 10 the climate, we cannot know of all the representations that have been made abroad. But a glance at the daily weather report should convince any body that the change in temperature from day to night during the winter months calls for due precautions on the part of those who are not in robust health. There is probably no region in the United States where light over coats and wraps are not necessary for invalids and people of low vitality dur ing the autumn and winter nights. That is certainly true or this valley
 while the days-in the sun-are so pleasant as to make all wraps super huous. As to any general lack of hos pitality on the part of our people, ouI. correspondent is mistaken. It is doubt full if there is another community in

The newest cure for consumption is one that is now being used with al legged success in the Rush hospital at Philadelphia. and it is stated in a dis patch from there that it gives every promise of becoming the greatest medical discovery of the age.'' The basis of the treatment, instead of be- ing q lymph or serum, IS Q solution of silver. and Dr. Thomas J. Mays-the physician, surgeon and scientist who discovered the secret-makes the claim that he is the first to adopt transfu- sion of silver. The claim is not made that the treatment will relieve and cure every case of consumption. for Dr. Mays says that in advanced eases nothing can be done by this or any other cure except to furnish temp orEry relief. but he does insist that in all instances where the disease can be taken in any except the last stages bordering on death it can be cured The instrument used by Dr. Mays is much like q fountain syringe, a two ounce glass cup taking the place of the usual rubber bag. The needle is inserted lfi the arm or the patient. the rubber hose is attached to it. the stop cork is opened and the solution flows directly into the veins" Dr. Mays says that injection would answer practically the same purpose. but the results will be much slower in InanifestinS them selves. By this method of transfus:on the fluid is forced directly into the veins, almost immediate results are obtained and the patient at once be- gins to show signs of improvement. It is stated that patients who have been placed under the new treatment have begun to show signs of improvement within tYenty-four hours. and that after two or three days they have much less cough. much les expectoration. and q greatly improved appetite. A half per cent solution of silver in q saline solution is the formula used. IL all sounds very well. but the world has heard of so many consumption cures in the past that it will take this one with an extra gain of salt until it has stood the test of proof.

As the time for the voting upon the new city charter. two weeks hence'
 approaches. public in THE terest in that docu- NEW ment slowly gains. A CHARTER. great deal of misinfor-
 nation regarding it ex ists. Those who believe that the pres ent charter is inadequate to the pres- ent needs of Phoenix. are inclined to favor the new one without having made a very careful study of it. The enemies Of the charter, on the other hand. have been more active and have been engaged in pointing out its ineon- sistencies and defects, some of which they declare to be fatal The friends of the charter. though rely. to a con- sidera ble extent. upon the committee of business men who. at q great expendi- ture of time and labor. and guided by legal advice drew it tap.
 The charter itself is not new or un- used. It is made up almost wholly of those of other cities similarly situated in respect of Phoenix now and in years to come. It contains many features which, though they may not be ap- plicable to this city today, cannot be said to be inapplicable. There are ap- parent climatic and geographical ab- surdities, but it must be remembered the legislature could not under the or ganic act make a charter foT Phoenix alone. It was therefore so drawn as to meet also the varying needs of Yuma. Prescott and other towns of the ter Titory.
 The charter is not for taxpayers as sweeping a departure from the pres ent charter as many have been led by its enemies to suppose. Neither does it greatly change the power of the ad- ministration. but divides and wholly creates a new and modern form of mu- nicipal government. It creates a mayor in fact, to succeed an official who is only a mayor in name or councilman at large. It provides for the election of many officers who are now appointed, and increases the of ficial list to the following:
 A mayor and city council composed of two aldermen from each ward;
 
 assessor who shall be tax collector, a city engineer, who shall also be sur veyor, a police judge, a chief of the fire department. a chief of police, d sealer Of weights and measures, q health officer and building inspector.
 The mayor. treasurer, police judge. tax collector and assessor. as well as the aldermen, shall be elected. The chief of police and all other office1 shall be appointed by the mayor, with the consent of the council.
 The mayor and council are given a somewhat freer hand than ct present in the matter of municipal improve rnents.
 The following extract is taken from Article II, relating to Improvements to show the nature of the powers of the council:
 "The city shall have power to make local improvements by special assess ment, or by special taxation, or by

the union where the residents are so uniformly kind hearted and consider ate. or where so much is given out in open handed charity to strangers. But it should be. remembered that con sumption is q dangerous disease to meet Most naturally. most people. howsoever sympathetic with the affiict- ed. do not wish to incur unnecessary risks. Moreover. consumptives should remember that there is seldom little to be hoped for in a sojourn in the town unless every comfort can be provided: and where extra comforts are required and there is a lack of strength for d moderate amount of ''roughing'' it, the outcome is seldom satisfactory. This town has no attractions for men who feel like trying to get well. Conse- quently outdoor life in the country and in the neighborhood of the foothills is usually sought. Phoenix itself ought not be represented as a natural sana- torium for consumptives, and it is nor that it should be so represented. But the glorious climate and sunshine of Arizona are free to all, and a life in the open air away from stuffy and cell like rooms should be the object of every health seeker.

No improvement to be paid for by special assessment or by special taxa tion shall De undertaken without the consent of a majority of the resident property owners, by petition, owning majority Of the front feet of the prop erty abutting upon any street SO unoer- taken to be improved, or in case of benefits accruing to any given area benefited. shall petition in writing for said improvement, and the common council shall by ordinance fix the limits on any street or area in which bene- fits shall be deemed to accrue: and the common council shall have the power to prescribe by ordinance the kind of material and manner of construction of all improvements where benefits shall be charged to the property owners.
 "The common council shall have power to divide the city into districts for the purpose Of drainage. and for the construction of sewers therein and shall have the power to construct said sewers for sanitary and drainage pur- poses upon petition of the resident property owners owning majority or the area in said district as herein before provided: and shall have the power to create special tax bills against

 Some of the powers now enjoyed by the council in the granting of fran chises and privileges are removed. Un- der the head of general powers in the matters of licenses and regulations l no additional authority is conferred, but the list is heightened.
 The duties of all officers elective and appointive are rigidly defined and the penalty for failure to perform them and the manner of imposing the penalty are prescribed.
 The sections relating to the assess ment of property and the collection of ! taxes are not essentially different from the corresponding sections of the pres ent charter. The manner of taking care of all public moneys is vastly different. It is so arranged that the comptroller is a check upon every of ficial, and every official is a check upon him. There can be no financial irreg- ularity in the absence of a collision in- volving the entire administration.
