All of these provisions are different

these have been changed there are
other provisions in the charter which

a direct hindrance to the progress of

Mayor Seaman's opinion of the city
charter as published yesterday, is
worthy of much consideration. He
saws that nine-tenths Of the provisions
IN the charter have been changed by
subsequent legislation and what is
left is not worth much. The mayor
is right. The charter is a useless
document and only serve to confuse
legislation.
For a stranger who has never ssbeen
to Perth Amboy to read the charter
and then visit the city, he would not
recognize it. Tho charter was APP
proved March II, 1870 and amended by
a supplement approved April 5, 1871.
To show how utterly out of date it
is we quote a few of its provisions
which have long since been discarded.

The statutes OF the United States provide
that Amy circuit or district court of, the
Grited States or any court of record hav-
ing common law jurisdiction and a seal and
clerkfsmay issue naturalization papers 10
any alien who desires to become a citizen
of the United States.
The point upon which Judge krum based
his demurrer to the Indictment is that the
st louis Court of Appeals is not a court
OF general law jurisdiction within the mean
cordingly has no right to issue naturaiiza-
tion paper.
Assistant District Attorney Bert u. Nor
toni. for the Government. c~ontended that
the St. Louis Court OF Appeals is a court
or original jurisdiction because it is au-
thorized by the Constitution to issue, hear
and determine the original remedial writS

law jurisdiction, he claimed. was not neces-
sary to empower a court TO raturalize
aliens. common law jurisdiction of any kind

fourth year of the reign of King James l..

rule Of practice and action. Because OF this

tion al law. as a consequence. had common
