Trtw City's Charter.-"" "No one, wffo gtvea the subject a little 1 study, will come to any other conclusion, to use no stronger language, than . "that this fair city of ours Is carelessly < governed. Involving much wastefulness. The city charter is impotent to correct J the existing state of affairs, as the town ] has either out grown it, or it never was ! a suitable instrument to serve as the or- 1 ganic law of any corporation. • It is de- j feetive In this, that it delegates to the | legislative branch of the municipality i executive duties at well. This makes, 1 the several council committees, a law unto themselves responsible to no one. The fundamental idea of civil government Is three distinct branches, the legis- . latlve, executive and Judicial, these iheuld never be united la one, it breeds . corruption, or at least, carletsness and , waste of tax pavers money. Take the < workings of the city government from 1 the Council all the way down for a mo- J meat's examination. Each of Its branches ; will evade responsibility when there is i a demand for interference because of any ' abuse of power, of dereliction of duty. "The mayor claims the unwise interference of Council has deprived bim of sc- _ eountableoesMnd the members of that body declare the contrary to be true, ' notwithstanding, tbey give the police ' direct orders which they should not do. , except through the executive in the | form Of ordinances and resolutions ' This state of affairs is the same in the J expenditure of mrney by the several , committees, there is lack of responsible t Ity, except the general one of to the peo- 1 pie .and they hare become so disgust' d at ' the administration oftffalrs as to slcnply look on with wonder and hope for a better stall of affairs at some time in the < dim future. The money that has been expended in this city since the present j (-barter went into effect ought to make , <4 it ohe whose public works should be - the delight and boast of her citizens. < The Improvements that have been j made, and lhen.by neglect permitted to , go to ruin have brought the city's ex- ( chequer to a chronic state of emptiness. I and the authority to borrow another 1 cent to a dead hall. The Wsvx will j critic ire a longer continuance of such it i

policy in the Interests of tax payirs. ' Not Improvement, but the manner of ' Irresponsibility la which they are effect- , ed are privileged questions, within the i province of comment by a live newspaper like the Wavi. We do not do this i out any persons] motives, the gentlemen , of the Council, so fsr as th>ir private . Uvea go do not come within range of this intention, but as public officials they must expect censure when they arc a party to the weaknees and laxity by which public business Is conducted. The city recorder is an official who is entitled to public sympathy. He not only has the work of bis own office to do, which of course Is his duly, bat he must mend the blundering of the council. and be subject to most tfcesome sift- ; lng process by which he may get at what our local legislature means. Ordinances are amended in the wrong place, the recorder must hunt up the right one; there it inattentio i to bust- _ Bees, the reoorder moat read over for many times the motion., ofsmeodmcnts under consideration ; there is a long and uaelret debate up>n irrelevant matters, the recorder must sift the stuff or expunge It altogether ; there le a question whether an ordinance has been " passed or not, the recorder must study trie subject and make the record agree . with the probable action of the' council, and so through the' long chapter of botchery. The countenance of ihls poor tired official la a study wheo he gets fairly down to the work of keeping the run of the vagaries of our local parliamentary body. He looks as if he were undergoing . a torture of the Intellect that might overthrow the reason of a weaker man, that It does not is more the wonder. His salary la inadequate, the man who can sue, eeifuUy itiaighten oat "the tangled thread of an evening's council -session to a genius and ougM to be sccoedtogly rewarded by the public. To him (be Council looks that It does not gel loot, and have to be hunted up by the police. By all means let the recorder have a better salary, be will earn every dollar of it by keeping the Council Drum becoming hopelessly euUngled In iu own folly. A newspaper that amounts to any thing must antngonixe existing abuses wherever tbey may be found in publir life. To refrain from censure where It to due for fear of offending some one will not deter a live journal like the Wav* from doing Its duty as a public chronicler of events in which there Is a common insteret.

IThe Fish Pirates Must Co. Last Saturday's mass meeting presided j over by Mayor J. II. Edmunds; w aa ahintelligent and earnest protest against . . the Impudent and destructive work of " j the coast Fish Pirates. The meeting , I was composed of leading cltir.eiu of Cape . May besides such earnest friends of the cause as Hon. Geo. nires of Salem, Hon.

Gen- ( cral Wm. J. Svwell, U. 8. Scuaror It - Blixlgct, and A. St. Spongier, sent i letters of regret, copies of which are; , Camdk.v, Oct. 7, 1887. Ms. J. Hxsftr Eojst-sos, I Mr Dxab Rie: - 1 regret that I eanOot accept vonr invitation to be present at the meeting called to take action in. relation to menhaden fishing. I have spent considerable time In the last six years , endeavoring to break up this practice within i he shore line of three miles, brt . found that there was very little support. ' to be obtained from those most intercst- ' ed; in fact what seemed to be everybody's business no ti. 'body's business. _ I do not think it is any hardship for the capital invested in menhaden tishing to be obtained to keep three miles from the shore. The broad ocean ought to be enough for them. leaving the shore line to Hie men engaged in fishing for food fishes, and the hook and line fishermen for sport. 1 shall be glad to co-operate anything that your meeting may do lu this direction.

W. & b.'s " Ironclad " Cloth. This is our third years' run on it Thought we made i up enough of it the first season: thought the same every season since. Every season we have had more customers for it than wc had goods. This season we're not going to make that mistake. We'll have enough for everybody, and j to last the season out We have pretty big Ideas of what • we can sell. WhCh i ft sells faster than even we expected, rely on it, it must be good. There' isn't 'as good to be had anywhere for equal money. It's all-wool: all long wool: long, strong wool: nothing" . hut wool : neither cotton nor flocking to make it heavier or lower the cost. It's an honest cloth, through and through, with a heap of wear past the ordinary in it. No other store has it. We twisted and pulled and harried it in all sorts of ways to try how it would stand rough usage, and then took all the mill made.
