Therc are two distinct ways of run- ning a ci Ona the may, sccording to the charter, con- strue one section one way, the people another. The provides, “It shall De the duty of the recommend the adoption measures connected man, mayor, charter mayor to of all such with the police, security, health, cleanliness and orna- ment of the city and the improvement of its government and finances, as he shall deem expedient.” The charter continues for the mayor's to provide general message to the Common Council. The charter also provides that he shall be an ex-officio member of the fire board, for instance. It would be out of the question to suggest that the mayor be left in igno- rance of all the important actions of the different commissions and boards. Evidently, in framing the charter and making the mayor a member of the fire boards, it was proposed that he should know what these boards. Yet there is no intima- tion in the charter that his shall be the predominating cisions. is transpiring in voice in its de- The Common Council is sup- posed to act upon the made by that board. The charter duties suggestions general of the and its provisions as to the of the mayor, does not template that his opinlons shall neces- interpretation con- sarily dominate; he shali going on. This suggests the other theory of government of the city. A mayor may believe in allowing all the hoards to reach their decisions regardless of his opinions, the them. attend it doe be kept suggest that, aware of what is and let Common Such a commit- Council pass upon mayor would tee moctings and, never untess consulted, would remain silent in their delibera- tions. #& This would be an eas mayor to run a city way for a but whether the city would run itself easily under such a system may be open to debate. It a mayor has information that would tend to enlighten a board, it would be a board indeed that would fail to call for his data on this subject. A mayor, commiission or stran disliking disliked personally by commissicn or board, willing to give has and to u the adoption opinion as strongly as sympathy with the board.

The special congressional commit- tee which has investigated and re- ported upon the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, has placed the blame primarily on former brigadier seneral of the army, Samuel T. An- sell. Ansell was one of Bergdoll's coun- sel. Back of that there Washington, in time, severe crit| m of him in the Judge Advo- cate’s department. was in war, Violent were his partisans; equally bitter were his en- emies. But he was counsel for Bergdoll. Perhaps a paragraph of the ma- jority report is sufficient to tell the opinion of him held by those out of the five members of the committee: “He is now out of the army. He is beyond the jurisdiction of court- but provision be made against his future practice before martial proceedinss, should any of the depart- ments, before any court-martial or in the courts of the District of Colum- bia or the natiom above whose safety and integrity he has placéd gold.” There was a minority report which went to no such lengths as these though it criticized Ansell. After hearing all the testimony the above sums up the situation as viewed by the majority.

Pupils of East Fishkill Hope Swarm Will Stay. Beacon, Aug. 19.—A swarm of bees, estimated to number ‘50,000, has turned the Fishkill Plains school- house in East “ishkill, Dutchess county, into a colosal bee hive, Frank Lacy, manager of the Duchess county trustees are trying to determine how to rout the swarm before school opens in ten days. The pupils are hoping the bees will win and hold the schoolhouse, which has but one room, thus prolonging the vacation. “The school cannot be used while the bees are there,” said Lacy. “They are in between the partitions in the schoolroom, and it will take an ex- pert tc get rid of them if they are not to- be all killed by fumes or some other method.” Lacy sayvs the bees have stored a lot of honey, probably 100 pounds, in the school.
