A Royal Farewell.

Mr.. VIM. F. Sinclair, who has been
employed as erecting foreman in the
|. & G. n. machine shops for the past
five months, resigned Monday to go to

aged father, who is not expected to re-

very sorry to see him go. Even Mr.
Armstrong, Mr.. Sinclair's successor as
foreman, was choked up and didn't
feel like talking. The boys set about
giving Mr.. Sinclair remembrance to
take away with him, and showed their
excellent taste by selecting a hand

one side being keystone, emblem of
the Royal Arch, of which Mr.. Sinclair
is member, on the other side the
popular lion head, with diamond in

to the home of Mr. Sinclair, taking
with them a string band to furnish
music for the occasion In the pres
ence of about fifty machinists Mr.
Dugan presented the charm with a
little speech that would make his
friends think he was lawyer instead
of machinist. Mr. Sinclair responded

be as employees of the commissioners.
There are many splendid features
of the new charter. One is that the
power of taxation is to remain as it
now is. Another is the recall fea-
ture. When a commissioner fails to
do his duty, or when for any cause the
people desire a change, they can call
for a special election to take vote
on the matter, and il the vote is ia
vorable to the retirement of COM
missioner, or the whole of them, they
will have to step down and out. and
give place to those the people wish to
elect. And this action can be had in
dependent of how the commissioners
are disposed in the matter-whether
they are willing or not willing to such
an election: whether they order such
election or not. This will make it i'm
possible for a commissioner to be ar
bitrary, or to go very far wrong. 1t
will make the commissioner very care
full in his conduct. and will be force
that will compel him to perform the
duties that are assigned him.
Then, again, the commissioners are
paid for their services. Not very large
salaries. it is true. but enough to pay
them for the time they put in for the
city. Being on pay the people have a
right to demand that they perform
those duties assigned them.
Again. the new order of things de-
mands the utmost publicity. There
can be nothing done without taking
the people into confidence; everything
must not only he done above board
but with the full sanction of the peo-
ple. For instance, no franchise can
be granted without full publicity in
some newspaper, and even then, it
granted, can be rescinded by the poo
pie at a special election the people
can hold. independent of any action
the commissioners may or can take in
the matter
There are hundred other good fea-
lures of the charter that cannot be
pointed out. 1t will have to be read
to be fully understood and appreciat-
ed
1t is a charter framed in the inter
est of the people as against the few
who might possibly attempt to use
nublic office for private gain or graft.
It raises the city government out of
possible spoils politics. and makes it

for commissioners, to run an economi-

THE NEW CITY CHARTER.

The Herald today presents to its
readers the new charter for the City
of Palestine, to be voted on Tuesday,
February 49, Every reader, and es-
pecially the voter, is invited to give
the document careful reading. And
if read carefully every fair-minded
man, with the interest of the city at
heart, and who earnestly wishes to
see Palestine a progressive city, will
vote for it.
Of course there will be those who
will oppose it. A people are never al
together together on any proposition.
Some will oppose it conscientiously,
believing it not best for the town;
some will oppose it from a selfish
standpoint, because they feel that the

THE FARMER
 CONSIDERED Hide Schedule Under Discus
 Sionin Senate PLEA OF MANUFACTURERS
Senators Carter and Dick Denounce Argument For Free Hides as Such as a Confidence Man Might Advance in His Trade.

Washington, June 21.-The tariff bill amendment of the finance com mittee taking hides from the free list and restoring the Dingley rate, 15 per cent ad valorem, was before the sen ate all day and it probably will not be disposed of before late tomorrow
 MT. Warren, of Wyoming, and Mir. Carter, of Montana, supported the pro- vision, and in vigorous language at tackled the attitude of the free hide advocate. while MT. Page defended the action of the house in placing hides on the free list. Mir. Warren declared that the senate had been insulted by the charge that the Dingley provision had been inserted as the result of a mid night conference, and that free raw material would be the death knell of the protective policy.
 MT. Carter asserted that if the farm CTS were to be compelled to sell their products in the open market they would demand the right to buy manu- factured articles in the same kind of market
 MT. Page cOntended that free hides would not iniure the farmers. while at the same time it would be of vast ben eft to the leather manufacturers. He said the beef trust garnered all the profits on hides.

Washington, June 21.-The bill pro viding for the taking of the thirteenth census was called up in the house to- day by MT.

Im- mediately the old discussion as to whether the rule of geographical ap pOrtionment in the matter of appoint, ments should apply, was revived. MT Sims, of Tennessee, strongly contend ed for the senate amendment, which provides for such appOrtionment, while MT. Hay. of Virginia, wanted technical and scientific positions exempted from he law of appOrtionments.
 The appOrtiOnment amendment was vigorously opposed by MT. Crumpack- CT He said that as the result of the civil service laws and the apportion ment rule, the standard of efficiency among government employees was not more than fifty per cent of that of the similar service in private establish T1ents.
 A motion by MT. Sims to recede and concur in the senate amendment, was agreed to. All the remaining amend ments were disagreed to, and the bill was sent back to conference. The Louse then adjourned until Thursday.

A SILLY ARGUMENT
For the Removal of the Duty on Hides

Washington. June 21.-Senator Dick, of Ohio. made public today a letter he had written in reply to communications from manufacturers and others inter- ested in the removal of the duty on hides. declaring himself as opposed to the removal of the duty. As a protec- tiOnist the senator said he strove for consistency and believed in protecting all American industries, those of the farm as well as those of the factory, the shop and the mine. As to hides. he contended that to call them raw material as an argument for admitting them free of duty was silly.
 If a confidence man at a circus ever presented a less plausible proposition to the farmer than that" declared Sen ator Carter referring to the attitude of the senators who desired free hides, "he was certainly wanting in wit.
 Never before has the farmers in telligence been so discounted" lie said. He is told first that the duty does him no good. and therefore it will be taken off. Then he is told the duty will be left on leather or shoes and on harness for the benefit of the manufacturers. He is further told he is to buy in the protected market and sell in open mar kets of the world the things he has to sell"
 If" MT Carter declared with ve- hemence. the farmer is to sell in the open markets he will demand that he be allowed to buy in the cheapest mar ket"

New York, June 21.-After a bit of police furry today an hour or two of unverified reports and telephoning be- tween cities, the murder of Elsie Sigel resolved itself into an unsolved crime again tonight.
 Chun Sin, who formerly occupied a room adjoining that where the girls body was found, is held by the police at the upstate village of Amsterdam, but what has been learned from him has cleared up the case but little.
 At Schenectady the Chinese arrested today, at first thought to be Leon Ling or William L. Leon, who is sought as the girls murderer. pretty we'll estab- lished that he is an unOffending China man who formerly worked in a New York restaurant, and whose arrest was brought about merely through a strik ing resemblance to Leon Ling.
