The Charter Reviewed.
BY CONKUSINO taxablcs with
populutlnn, we erred yestcr
iliiy as to the size of coun
cils contemplated In the rip
per bill. Select would have 12 nnJ
common council 25 members, a mem
bership of wlcldy proportions. The
election of nil selectmen sit largo Is
objected to, yet It presents Home pros
pects of advantage. It would doubt
less tend, for example, to put a halt
upon the continual struggle of ward
Against waid and section against sec
tion which is one of the present draw
backs to progressive und unifying leg
islation ; and It would Insure a prompt
execution of the public will in law
making, which now Is subject to de
ft at through combinations very dlitl
ctilt for the voters to reach. An
amendment to make a third of select
council elective at large and two-thirds
by districts to be apportioned would.
It seems to us, present a desirable me
dium In tills particular. The method
of apportioning representation in com
mon council is indistinct and leaves
too many doors open to mischief. Cot
ter leave the representation one for
every ward irrespective of population
than to invito rejveated gerrymander
ing. An article to define magisterial
methods will need to be added.
Ttut let us also look at some of the
tipper bill's merits. Hy centralizing
executive power In the mayor and
making him the directing spirit of the
city government it puts responsibility
where the people can always locate It.
They elect the mayor, knowing the
scope of his power, and they can hold
lilm to account. That is the great pre
ponderant virtue of the Muohlbronner
proposition, yet there are others almost
us mi I liable. This charter, for example,
provides for the first time a simple,
but thorough system of keeping and
checking city accounts. It makes It
possible for tho public to ascertain at
any time Just where tho city stands
financially. It defines the duties of tho
accounting and auditing departments
i-o plainly that confusion or complaint
Is next to Impossible. Just ns the
mayor is made the executive power so
the controller is made the watchdog
of the city. Under this charter the
elertlnn of a good man as controller
would practically Insure tho doing of
city business on business principles.
Here, again. It Is can led up to tho
people to decide what kind of city gov
ernment they want.
Another merit which ought particu
larly to appeal to tho class of citizens
accustomed to lament tho decadence
of American politics and testify to
their aversion by religiously avoiding
any connection with it is the placing
of civil service safeguards about tho
appointment and removal of police
men, firemen and Flmllar public ser
vants. This charter proposition of
polIs-lov!ng politicians even proposes
to make it a crime for a citizen to say
a kind word in behalf of an aspirant
lor municipal appointment, the pen
alty to fall on tho unfortunate subject
of lecommendatlon. Inasmuch ns this
kind o "reform" is held up by our
most respectable citizens ns the ideal
to which nil government should rjulck
l.v tend, the ripper bill applies It lib
erally, and If parsed will leave Its en
forcement to those who may feel so
Inclined. That Is certainly fair.
Regarding the objections jalsed to
i ho "ripper" sections, It Is plainly evi
dent that a new second lines charter.
If enacted, would have to be enforced.
This enforcement would fall principal
ly on tho mayor and heads of execu
tive departments. Let these be hostile
lo the charter's Intent and they could
steer the municipal craft on tho rocks
in a. thousand directions. Pilotage In
sympathy with the charter's spirit and
intent is absolutely essential to a suc
cessful voyage.
Anyhow Scranton is not as dirty as
Vlttsburg.
To Help the Boers.
UNDBU THE caption, "How
Americans Can Help the
Boers," a communication
has been sent to every dally
paper In the east by tho executive
committee of the Transvaal League of
the Kaatern states, an organization
of eminent Americana of Dutch de
scent,' claiming to bo pro-Doer with
out being antl-TMtlsh. It follows:
We aic convinced that a Wry luge number
of people In this country, If they only knew
iow, would fliuly help the I:oer In their
irugglr lor freiJmi Htitti'crc, tho question
t.lth most of u hat beent What can we do to
help tlitra? It has been suggested to in recent
ly, and we heartily approtc the suggestion,
Hut we can belt l.elp the lioera by Influencing
UrllUh public opinion in favor of justice and
peace in South Africa. It Is evident that o
wt are the resources of the Drltlsh empire In
comparison with those of the South African
republics, that unlets the history of our own
war el Irdcpendence soon repeats ltielf In this
use, to the point at which the majority ot the
British people concluded that there was neither
tain nor glory lo Its continuance, the repub
lic might, In the tourae of time, become tem
porarily exhausted, Tho sooner, then, that the
rrltlsh people can be brought to the point
which they reached In their war with in, the
better it will be for them, for South Africa,
and for the whole world.
With this end In slew, It becomes of the ut
most Importance to evoke miih an epreslon
ot popular feeling In the United States that the
people of Clrc.it llritaln, Ireland, ami the Brit
ish tnlonlea will be made to reallre at lt
that the large majority of Americans look with
("itreme disfavor upon the continued (laughter
an I threatened extermination of the clllrcns
of the! South African republic and Orange Tree
atalc. The British people hae been eiccclied
In tcitard to public sentiment here. They hae
bter, led to believe that they hue the moral
auprort of America In their dealings with the
Ilccif, and Mr. Chamberlain's claim tint tome
nit of an alliance bad been entered Into by
him with till country a claim Immediately
rejectee! by the administration here was made
In Older lo foster thbe erroneous belief. The
majority ot the English newspapers are so bit
terly antl-lluer that they do not publish new a
tin: might open the ryes of their leaden on
Ills subject! they know that "the man In the
street," upon whose Nippon Mr. Chamberlain
depend', feels that In Europe be stand among
cnemiis, and Is, therefore, not only anxious
to conciliate and to priscrse the good opinions
of the Americans, but would be shocked In
learn that the action of his gotemment bad
already alienated, and threatens no alienate
still further, much of the friendly feeling for
Groat llittaln which at one time existed In
this rnuntrv.
We purpose to administer that shock, w far
as possible, by crystallising tho pro-Boer sjin
pathy of tho majority ol Americans and by
tal-.lng steps to bring the icsull In the form
of n Irlcf protest to the notice of the Hrltlsh
people. Tlii, in our opinion, will do more
than antthliiK else could do at this time to
shake the Mini' confidence of many Fngllsh
men In the righteousness of their cause. A
number ol prominent residents of tho Eastern
elites haw already signed the protest referred
lo, which Is printed beneath for further signs
trro. As anon ns a sufficient number of signa
ture to It has been obtained, we intend to
Insert the protest as an advertisement In the
lesdlnj Itritlsh newspapers, and to lf.le It
standing as long as our funds permit, with
a utilcment beneath ghlng the number who
havo hlgned it and such names from among
them as am likely to be known In Knghnid.
This Is the only way known to us by .Mii-li
thj American peoplu cm show practically their
adir!rntlon for the gallant struggle ot tho
South Afrrmi burghers and for the great piln
ci.iles for which the burghers fight.
This Is the protest referred to:
Till: AMEItlCAN'H PIMPI.K'S PROfEST.
To the People of fircit nrltaln, lieland and the
Ilrltish Colonies.
We, the undersigned, citizens of the United
Mates of America, in the name of humanity
hereby piotest against tho tontinuod (daughter
and threatened extermination of the citizens of
the South African republic and Orange Kiee

before our readers for such notion as

England's King.
u
NCKKTAINTV on an occasion
Involving a change in sov
ereigns Is natural, but In
the ease of the accession of
England's present ltlng It will soon
disappear. It Is Improbable that If Ed
ward VII. were by nature aggressive
and dictatorial he could, under the
peculiar limitations and restrictions of
the British constitutional system, take
any stops or Inaugurate any policies
which would seriously Interfere with
the smooth progress of Imperial af
fairs. Wo havo said that Victoria, during
her reign was more than a mere figure
head sovereign. While true, that state
ment did not Imply that she ruled
through an aggressive assertion of the
sovereign prerogative. Hers was tho
way of palnstnklug diplomacy, tact
and strong womanly personality. Her
successor upon the British throne not
only has Inherited many of her note
worthy personal characteristics, but
during the forty or more years In
which ho has been one of the most
conspicuous figures In the world's af
fairs, he has displayed a finesse, tatit
and Intelligent appreciation of the ro
aulrements of his delicate and fie
quently embarrassing position which
aro not likely to desert him as, in ma
tured manhood, he takes up the seri
ous functions of the klnghood. Pew
rulers have had his opportunities of
studv, of personal acquaintance with
the 'Influential men of his kingdom and
of schooling in the varied social re
quirements of court life. It Is reason
able to assume that a man who can
carry himself so well through the em
Iwrrasslns' circumstances of an helr
upparent, neither giving just offense
nor becoming embroiled In any of the
Intrigues so common In court circles,
will not at tho ago of sixty collapse
under tho stress of a position of In.
creased dignity. Predictions of 111)1)1)16
for Great Britain under the new reign
come principally from those to whom
the wish Is father of tho thought.
It Ih highly gratifying to the Ameri
can people to know that the new sov
ereign has invnrlaly manifested tho
samo cordial friendship for Americans
and tho same kindly recognition nnd
appreciation of American institutions
displayed hy his Illustrious mother.
From the standpoint of international
peace and good will, his accession Is
not a loss but on the contrary a gain
mensured by the difference In years
and strength between himself und tho
monarch whom he succeeds.
It Is announced that the burners arc
pulling wires at Washington to get the
finance committee of tho senate to ie
duco still further tho war tax on beer,
and as an offset are working for the
retention of the stamp tax on patent
medicines. One of the most trust
worthy firms engaged hi tho produc
tion and salo of a proprietary remedy
assures us that this tax, which is not
chargeable back upon tho consumer,
has for three years equalled 0 per cent,
on Its capital stock, which in these
years earned only 5 per cent, tie;'
profit. The need of such a tax having
passed, it should bo lifted. To con
tinue it beyond necessity as a pretext
for congressional favoritism to tho
brewing Interests of tho country would
be Infamous.

In twenty years the local machine In

Some Recollections
of QUeen Victoria
w. i:.
t.imU, in Hie Miiiagu Itecord.
w
1111 Till: r..C KPTIO.V of Alexander II. of
ltula, who ttood so iIocly behind
Pioldtnt Lincoln dining tho Civil war,
'uu i Victoila was probably t.'io nn:
coiidslciilly valuable friend the United Mates
has cur I. id inn vg the somclgn of Europe.
Mm Ins never lost nn opportunity to show her
good-will and filcmhhip; she has never failed to
oifer her support and encouragement when it
was needed; kho has Invariably shown for tho
American ambassulors and minltteri in London
a pirtlallty that has been o manifest and so
rrguhr tbut it long ago ceaed to bo a subject
of comment. She has recognized tho tie of
kindred, ami has often spoken of them to citi
zens of this country who have hid access to
her majesty' presence.
o
During the Jubilee ceremonies in 1587 a puty
of Ainiric.ni tourists engaged a tally-ho for the
purpose of wltnetiing the rut ratlin of the queen
Jut London, and tlationcd them-selits at a
iiimcnlcnt turn of the road in Hjde Park,
which they Know she would pass. Hy some
ovcvHghl of the police they were permitted to
enter the raik, and were not tlicocrcd until
the qitein'B rarriagp was upon Hum, when tho
gtuids made a great ado and wire about to
rir.,1 t ,ic whole party to prison. The qui en's
pnsro w.i ttopped for tho moment, and,
l,i mimm; to 81 nllleer, fill asked the cause
of Hie detention. Hearing his explanation she
slid In a lone that was perfectly audible In the
stiauKtis:
"It they nre Americans let tliein flay."
At this utry lad', on the cnach aiog and
vv i-vil her handkiicliief and every gentleman
waved ills bat and gae heartily "Ihrfe
i !li i is f,r ,Li'in Victor i."., tho tricrd.ot tho
I'l.'leJ M..ci." At tills she smiled, .wvc-i.l
her p.iraMd and made a low bow- of .icknowl-i'hi,-tii',
lhat ciiln one of the geulltmtn uddrcesed
a formal letter to the queen apologizing for the
incident, "-plaining the pre-tnee of tho party
behind the police line and thanking her for
hbr giaclous Intervention. Within a few dijs
he received a icply from the quten's secretaiy,
who nald that her majci-ty had lommanded
him to n knowledge the receipt of the explan
ation and to say that It ahv.it s irate her pleas
ure and Rratlflcatlon to think that the mrri
can people were her friends.
Diiilng the Civil war the lliitish Rotem
mrnt, under the lnttuence of the totton mami
lacturtrs of Manchester and the other commer-
ial and indutiial Interest ot the United
Kingdom was friendly to the Confederacy, but
Queen ietorla u on the I'nion side, and
never peimlttcd them to ofTcr aid or comfort
to the Sotitli when klio could prevent it. At
the groalc't crisis of the struggli.-, no far as
lliml.ind was concernul, when two Confederate
cntojs were forcibly taken hum a Iliitish
steamer by an impudent I'nion natal officer.
Lord Palmcrston wiotc a dispatch to the Ilrltish
ainbassulur at Washington that wis equitalent
lo a diilarition of war. As usual with etery
thing of this kind, the message was sent to
Mndor Castle for approval. The queen kept
it uter nluht, and the next morning returned
it to her prime mlnl'trr, with every ofTcmite
phra-,c stricken out.
fl
it la the popular Imtuesslon that the queen
had little thaie in the ieponsibIlilies of the
pncinmcnt, but tint t a mistake. The prime
minister of nnsland Ins not gone to bed for
forty jcars without making- a written report
to his sovereign ot everything; ' importance
that lias oi tin ml in ollitlal circles dining the
da, and these reports hate been laid upon
Victoria' plate at her lueakfast table dally
without interruption eter since the death of the
prime constat, whither bhe was at Obornc or
llalmoial er on tho llitieri or visiting- the
palaces of sonic of her iota! proutny. Those
who havo been In the house of commons dur
ing the late nlglit sessions bate alwajs noticed
(lladstonc or l!oebcry or Sall.bmy, or who
ever was at the head of the gotcrnment, with
a block of paper on bis Knees making memor
anda of the piocceillngs like the itporters in
the jrallcrt, and if he had been followed to the
postollico of the parliament house before leaving
for his home he would hate been seen to drop
into the pouch nn envelope addressed to the
imperial totcreign whlili contained the penciled
notes. 'Iho quien was very exacting on this
point. Sho did not often interfere with the
poller ot her ministers, but Insisted that she
should be Informed ol all they said and did In
her name.
o
During the SpinUh-Ainerlcan war Lord Paunce
futf paid two visits in peisou to tho White
House and mvv the piesldent alone. On these
occasions he biought messages from Ills sovereign.
Tho first visit was made at the time when the
president had bent his ultimatum to Spain re
epilrlng the withdrawal of the Spanish army
from Cuba and the leeognition of Cuban Inde
pendence. The attitude of the other powers ol
llutope was unfriendly, bpaln had appealed for
their protection and intertcntlon was feared.
IIviko the message Loid Pauncvlote bore was
gratlf)lne and opportune, for he said lhat he
had been commanded by her majesty the queen
to as-uro President MiKinley ul her faith In
his motltes and her contldence In his wisdom,
and that tho government of (heat Britain would
support hlin In any measures he might adopt
to restore peace In Cuba and rellete the inhabi
tants of that Island from tho tyranny of fepaln.
o i
Tho second vl.lt was made while the peace
commissioners wire in session at Paris, and It
was tho natural toivscqiunco ol tlio first, for the
message on lids occasion carried an eten greater
responsibility than the first, lie said that the
queen had lommanded him to say that any dis
position of the Philippine Islands that left them
kubjeit to the s.-relgnty of any government
but th United tstatcn would be greatly re
gie lied by her gotiinment. Thus moro than
anjbody Use was (Jueen Victoria responsible for
the Philippines problem that Is now perplexing
the United Mates. Nobody knows what might
hae happened If this message had not been
sent, but, hating received It, President McKln
ley hid only one coutse to pursue.
THE REASON WHY.
1'rom the Tacoma News.
The enthusiastic reception of Senator tjuay In
Washington 'and the profuse floral tribute with
which he was greeted may puzzle sentimrntalista
who do not favor machine politics and some
of the methods sometimes adopted by him, but
the explanation Is simple one. He makea no
display of dress, of knowledge, or of wraith,
and yet people flock around him In the senate and
out, eager to do his bidding. This Is because
"Matt" (Juay alwais playa a square game; he
stands by his filcnds and they know where to
find him. Oratittide and appreciation of one'a
friends may cover a multitude of sins.
CHIPPY SORE THROAT.

Sin The many friends, and tho mcmbeis of

A kindred subject ot absorbing Interest such
as dUeases of the throat that arc frequently
