Mayor MCCLELLAN would like TO have
New York city try its hand at self
government under a Charter which would
leave it free to regulate all its concerns
comparatively small number of elected
officials. The experiment would be
worth trying. Under present conditions
the Legislature at Albany is ready at all
times to interfere with the municipal
administration, even in the most insig-
nificant details of government. This
Intervention on the part of the State is
improperly called "hayseed legislation"
The measures affecting the city originate
with Assemblymen aud Senators repre-
senting its own districts. They seek in
Albany what the local authorities have
refused to give them or to obtain what
the Legislature has neglected or declined
to empower the city to grant.
No n supposes that such liberty of
action as the Mayor would like will he
allowed by the Legislature. He recog-
niSes this himself and his detailed sug-
gestions are based On the imp6esibility
Of getting what he believes would be best
for the municipality. In these proposals
he shows plainly how deeply he has been
Impressed by the need of centraIzing
power and responsibility. The same
nesd has resulted in other States in the
popularity of the so-called Galveston
plan, or city government by commission.
Throughout the country the tendency is
to abolish offices. increase the arbitrary
power OF a few officers and hold them TO
an exact accountability for their acts. IN
this city it is frequently impossible to
put the blame for improper conditions
on m man. The extent to which de-
partments. bureaus and officers clash in
the Performance of thair duties has been
ahovn conspicuously in the hearings
before Governor HUGH Es on the petition
for the removal Of President AHEARN Of
the borough Of Manhattan.
1t is not likely thst the Legislature
would balk at changes in the Charter
that would simplify the present involved
condition. 1t has already given 20 the
Mayor the absolute power OF removal
over his immediate l~ieutenants. For
years this reasonable authority was
withheld from the cfty's executive. The
Legislatures of recent years have shown
a disposition to grant the reasonable
requests of the city.
The community would at least like to
know whom to hold responsible when its
affairs suffer from inefficient or, corrIpt
management.

enough nickel. cobalt and tin for its own con
sumption new deposits must he discovered, for
those s9- known, while individually rich, cannot
supply the entire demand. Since 1875, when the
value OF nickel produced from domestic ores
amounted 10 sSss,65<, the net result of the numcr-
GUS nuctuations In the production and value OF this
metal has been a heavy decrease.
In 1903 the only domestic nickel and cobalt were
derived from mines At Conner. Ore, which pro-
duccd a small amount Of concentrates containing
percentages OF these metals. For the last two years
the output has been included In ofhcial statistics

1909. as In q number of previous years, In excess OF

COUNT NOT FINISHED.
Illinois Central Meeting adjourned
-Reported Purchase by Hartman.

Chicago, Oct. 19-The meeting Of the Illinois
Central Railroad stockholders was adjourned
to-day until IL o'clock next Tuesday morning.
The proxy committee was still unable to report
but II is believed that it may be able to submit
its findings to the stockholders meeting Tues
day The committee has been at work night
and day, but the amount of proxies is so large
that the task is a huge one and. with the
scrutiny which is bestowed on each in behalf
Of both Mr. Fish ana Mr.. Hartman progress
IS slow.
Last night the committee was handling the
proxies in alphabetical order and had reached
the names Of stockholders which began with
II. Early to-day It was at NJ From NJ il
jumped TO W, and when the meeting was called
to order to-day it working on p. William
Nelson Cromwell. attorney for Mr.. Hartman
who has so far done the greater part of the
talking and who puts motions and announces
votes without referring them to President Hara-
han, the presiding officer, said to-day:
THE proxy committee IS still unable TO mako
a report. It is believed that something can be
had by next Tuesday. This is not positive but
we hope for something at that time. I therefore
suggest that adjournment be taken until II
o'clock Tuesday morning.
The meeting was then adjourned to the hour
suggested by Mr.. Cromwell.
E. H Hartman. who has been impatient
the delay in reaching a vote, left here for
New York at 2:30 o'clock to-day just the
meeting was called TO order. He declared that
important affairs demanded his presence in
New York on Monday morning. and under no
circumstances could he remain longer He said
Just before taking the train:
II not only must return 10 New York but I
must say that 1 was never glad in my life
TO get away from Chicago as I am right now"
Mr.. Cromwell will remain in Chicago in charge
OF Mr. Harrfman's interests and it is not be-
lieved that Mr.. Hartman viii return in time
for a vote on Tuesday. He may come however,
If the report is delayed much later than that
date.
The general situation is practically the same.
Both sides are seeking proxies with much en-
ergy, and 1t reported to-day, although II
could not be confirmed. that Mr.. Hartman
had recently purchased in Chicago one block Of
seven hundred shares. paying for them $50
above the market price.
The small stockholders. wearied by the delay,
have for the greater part gone to their homes.
The meeting to-day poorly attended, and
1t is expected that even fewer persons will be
present next Tuesday

railroad asserting the right to suspend law Of
the people and the national convention OF
Congress asking that the doctrine which Governor
Glenn Of North Carolina stood for be made that OF

What does this mean?"
