Gil.
Beer Ordinance. Passed.


The new Council met at the Council
Chamber Tuesday evening. Mayor BIRD
called the body to order, and admins
tered the oath of Office to the new mem
bers. W. T. MINTURN, Esq, of the First
Ward, was elected President. Upon as
suming the chair he spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN return thanks for this
honor, and in accepting the position
which you have been pleased to place
me in, l do it with much hesitancy, and
with the knowledge of its having been
so ably filled i'll the past gear, and there
being other members who are much
more competent for the position, and in
the outset 1 shall beg your patience and
forbearance in the decision of questions
that l may be called upon to decide; and
trust that our meetings for the present
year may be as harmonious and pleasant
as the year just past.
L wish to call your serious attention to
one or two matters of the utmost impor-
lance. Irefer particularly to the Finan-
cial condition of our city, and presume
but few Of you are aware of the amount
of the debt we have upon us. In the
first place the bonded debt of the city is
$l36,954 IL; estimated City Orders out
standing, 81, 1000, which in round num-
bers makes our City debt $140, 900. The
interest alone on this large mount an
nually is $500. l need not urge upon
you the necessity of the most rigid econ
Ony in the various departments of the
city, and | trust the chairman of each
committee will see to it that that econO-
my is exercised which will insure us a
large reduction of the debt in the next
year. The Committees will be named at
Il next meeting.

to demand that they should be consid-
cred in connection with this present
subject. Why? Because it is in d.
rect opposition to railroad interest.
You improve our rivers and construct
canals, and railroads would, of necessity,
be compelled to reduce theft charges on
freight to a more reasonable rate.
But this company proposes to build a
double track railroad from New York to
Chicago, St. Louis and Council Bluffs,
to be regulated as regards freights and
tariffs, by five commissioners, three to be
appointed by the President and two by
the company, and all to be paid by the
company, but they ask the United States
to adopt this as national undertaking
to the extent of guaranteeing interest at
five per cent. on $4,000, a mile OF
single track, estimated in the whole, not
to exceed $4,000. This railroad, con-
structed and equipped as proposed, can
accommodate 25O trains daily each way,
with capacity of 100000 tons.
But the first tell us that it would be
for the interest of the country to urge
Congress to guarantee payment of In
terest At five per cent. on gold per an.
mum, on the first mortgage bonds OF
this company, to the amount Of one'halt
the cost Of construction, including the
necessary lands, buildings and appurte.
nances required for its operation, the
railway company, on its part, to furnish
an amount in cash. equal to the said
bonds. by the issue and sale Of stocks.
What security has the government got
when the first mortgage bonds are sold
and passed into the hands Of foreign
capitalists :?
They also propose to carry grain from
Chicago to New York for fifteen cents
per bushel, St. Louis eighteen and
Council Bluffs twenty-four cents, on con-
dition that they receive freight to justi'
fly them, but if they cannot get the vast
amount specified in their memorial, then
they must raise the tariff on all pro-
duce; but if this road is built and
equipped as proposed, what benefit car
we in Minnesota derive from its opera
ton? The cost Of shipping to the near
est point Of intersection will cost us i1
transfer and all as much as at present

"justly distributed burdens and justly
distributed powers" Moreover we are
pledged to faithful and harmonious la
Dor for all future time. to return by our
united efforts to the wisdom, justic ce,
fraternity and political purity of our
forefathers. In this connection your
committee would impress upon every
member of the Order the importance Of
persistent attention to the details Incl
