the mayor can turn around and refuse to
concur in recreating the ordinance offices.
The mayor sat up nearly all night and
read the city charter from beginning to
end and in that same charter he found a
section which gave him peace OF mind and
rest TO his soul. This is section SO and
reads:
The mayor and city council may create
other offices than those enumerated In
this act and such offices shall be created
In the following manner. The necessity OF
such new office shall be declared by reso-
luton proposing the salary and duties OF
such office. After such resolution has been
published once each week Tor three sue

nance create such office and fix a reason
fixed In such resolution. Such offices shall
not hereafter be created unless by consent
OF the mayor and two-thirds vote by city
council.
1t is the last sentence. such offices
shall not hereafter be created unless by
consent OF the mayor and two-thirds vote
by the city council" that gives Mayor
Dahlman such great JOY. for the city legal
department advises him that he can refuse
to concur in the creating ordinances and
the council cannot pass them over his
veto.

A ReALiosMENT OF POLITICAL PARTIES.

Both of h great political parties will emerge from tariff legislation with
their lines badly broken and their cardinal principles sadly demorahzed. A
radical readjustment OF parties seems inevitable For many years the tariff
has been the great and it may be said, the fundamental issue between Repub-
leanism and Democracy. Every Democratic national platform has demanded
either "a Tariff fr revenue OF a tariff with free raw materials. Every Repub-
ncan platform mas upheld the principle of high protection, with incidental
revenue 1t has been contended by Democrats and acknowledged by Repub-
leans that the present tariff is full OF Inequalities and needed revision, nut the
Republicans held that the revision must be done by the friends of protection.
The work was committed % their hands and the country submitted to a long
period of business depression for the sake of revision But what do We behold?
One set of Republicans combining with Democrats to dtsappoint the hopes of
the country, nd a minority of Republicans combined with Democrats to procure
a genuine revision. Party principles and party shibbohths possess nj meaning
1t a time when party loyalty is most demanded There are Republicans in Con-
gress more Democratic than their Democratic associates, and Democrats more
Republican thar Republicans The lines Of division are SO broadly drawn that
they car never be closed. What we behold at Washington is not merely the
alterations of individual senators and representatives, but changes OF sent-
ment among large bodies of voters throughout the country. Perhaps in the
State elections this fall we will see the first positive evidence of this change,
hi fst breaking u and realgnment of he political parties.
