usURpArIoN OF POWER.
Lsws of The Lana Dictated instead
Of Recommended by Presidsnt
Mckinley

The Capitalization of power by the
federal government. which Is reach
Ing such extraordinary icnEhia under
President Mckinley, Is being copied
by republican governors In some OF
the states. The persistent effort OF
the president and these mimic gov
errors to cncroach upcn the domain
OF the legislative department, dictat-
Ing Instead OF recommending the laws
! that should he enacted and the Htill
greater evil Of interpreting the laws
I TO suit themselves or the trusts and
corporations that are back OF them.
II Is only few months ago that the
| anti-canteen law was set aside by the
administration, and II has become the
common custom for the president to
urge members OF congress 10 pass or
defeat legislation aud even 10 reward
with patronage and power those who
obey his demands. The president
originates legislation, as with the bill
| for the increase Of the army, the Phil
ippine legislation and the Cuban
amendment and used all the infiu'
ence nj his command to put them
through.
II h not 10 be wondered Of that re-
publican governors with this example
before them are equally aggressive.
More than one governor, says the
Washington Post, has called an extra
session Of a legislature to do work
which at It's regular session u had de-
rlined to do. only a few months ago
the governor Of a western state,
| after having failed to induce the
legislature to indorss hls hobby, came
out In an official deliyerancc In which
he scolded the lawmakers as " they
were insuhordinaic boys who had be-
come consigned 10 his care, A few
days ago the governor of Pcnnsyl'
yanin. acting under the most re-
mnrkable decision ever rendered by
a state supreme court. went over the
appropriation bills, amending various
items Ia order 20 bring the total
down to the estimated income. The
constitution gives him authority 10
veto any item in an appropriation bill
The supreme court has amended that
provision 30 az to allow him TO trim
any or all items No more radical de-
parturr from sound principles, no
more dangerous precedent, has ever
been seen In any American common
| wealth.
New York has a new constitution
intended TO illustrate all that is best
In government. Under that instru'
mrnt, however, we still find the gov
crnor all powerful as n promote OF
legislation. Hat II il n fact that In
the Empire state the governor Is re-
lied upon ia act AZ captain and pilot
for the legislative craft,
To o greater or less extent, In n ma
iority Of the states, the drift, Is to-
ward the ouc-man power In making
laws. This is partly due 20 executive
aggression, hut chiefly 70 lack of
pride on the part Of legislatures, II
may sometimes happen that a gov
crnnr lis right and majority OF the
lawmakers wrong In their views OF
measure. Hut the governor who Is
not content with the exercise Of his
constitutional rights ~ recommends

ATLANTA'S POLICE PLIGHT.
THE DEPARTMENT ALREADY OVER
$4,000 SHORT ON THE YEAR.

No Money 20 Fay PatroImen and
cause of Lack of Police Protection.
The BombsheII Exploded in the
Meeting of Police Commissioners
Last Night--CounciI Must Act Inn
mediately.
Atlanta. Aug. Sat the meeting of
the Board of Police Commissioners to-
night a state of affairs was unearthed
that leaves the city of Atlanta in a
predicament, so far as police protection
is concerned.
While the board had under consider
alton the election of a number of SUI
pernumeraries to the force the object
of the meeting, Secretary w. H. Pat
terson called a halt with the announce
ment that the department was already
short over $4,000 for the year. The
announcement came like a bombshell
at the session of the commissioners.
Although aware of the great need of
extra funds they had no idea that the
management had gone over the appro-
priation made by Council.
mediate action on the part of Council.
The meeting of the commissioners adj
journed without ceremony. for it was
seen at once that no more officers could
be elected.
Portions of the city are now without
police protection. Every watch that
leaves the station house is short be-
tween five and ten men, and the super
numeraries, who were elected to act as
such, have all be on regular duty for
months. The existence of this state of
affairs was not brought out before the
meeting tonight. The sources of APP
preparation are exhausted, or practical
ly so, and the predicament Council will
find itself in when remedial steps are
undertaken will be equal to that the
board found itself in tonight. The
continuance of depredations in the city
limits that should be punished in the
Police Court now go unpublished for
want of proper police protection.

DIDN'T COME TO A FINISH.
AtIanta's Franchise Fight Held Up
for Two Weeks Longer.

Atlanta, Aug. Sat the meeting Of
the Aldermanic Board this afternoon
the finish of the hot franchise fight
which was predicted, did not take place.
AS indicated in dispatches to the Morn
ing News, Alderman fitzpatrick, who is
against such a bitter war as has been
waged by the citizens of the First and
Fourth wards, changed his tactics, vot-
ing as he promised to do, in favor of a
longer franchise than twenty-one
years. Both the Peters street
franchise to West End and
the fanchise to build an extension
on the boulevard were passed up to the
Rapid Transit Company, but Alderman
Pierce gave notice of a motion to re-
consider both of them. This holds the
matter up for two weeks longer, during
which time the public of Atlanta con-
fidently expects to be RECALLED with
cards eminating from the Fourth Ward
Committee, which has been facetiously
termed THE Committee of Safety"
