GENTLEMEN OF TIE COMMON CoUN GIL -
rhe City A tOrney was delighted upon being
.fficiaily advised by the Lisy Clerk that the
,etllion Of Michael Calvin. asking t, 1t he bt
given employment a. Ono 0f the etre-t force.
lad been referre to him with power % act.
The subject matter Of the peiiIion j. old, ye,
Interesting, beginning al tiue hey OLd The
memory OF the oldest Alderman perennial,
however, and EVER new, one generation passes
;wsy, another takes up the refrain that G .lvih
must be provided for. After Will Ramsey,
Lee, Auerbach, Allen, Goiz an, and others,
Who have give prominence to G,lvin'S re-
quest by appending their distinguished
,gnaiures 10 the petition, will have passed
way ana the names Of o. hers more youthful
viii u orn the scroll a. lc itio.ers to he oc'o.
,enariau's request Ia shake his long handled
newell over stteet-cro sings and wave his
liver locks at the pisser-by.
Michael Gavin, the pub!ic's most Obedient
seTvant, is modest in his dem md after quar-
Ter Of century of active service in keeping
our street eros su gs clean, commencing at
line when John NJ Ctstner was Town Mar
shall down to the p'eseni, except at rare inter
walls. when some strict Commissioner, jealous
nf the easy manner in which he handled the
tools OF his trade, bounced him to give some
partisan who had hustled around more lively
at ward caucus a chance at TIE shovel and
the hoe. Faithful over the few stones he
found lying loose in the high ways o: our city,
In mis- extreme modesty, he does not aspire To
be ruler over the large ones. which are piled
mp in the streets OF the city as If our beautiful
thorougbfares were stone-yards and quarries;
ueither does he claim promotion from the
stone pile to be the wearer of the blue, the
star aud the batOn, or to carry gallan,ly
through our streets the insignia of the office
of bovise impouuder, while the cows Craze
quietly in our yards, or 10 commission thai
will authorize him to go proving around to
rob the people of their household pets, the
dogs; much less, gentlemen, does he
aspire to that honorable, digni6d and
lucrative position - that Of Alderman.
These are idle empioyments; his has been au
ictive life from early manhood TO the pres
ent time. Work, work, honest toll, has ever
been his mission, and at this time OF life he
.purns the idea Of anything That would take
him FROM his favorite calling unlike other
officials who keep whooping it up for in
-reaset com oeusatlon and less work. Mr.
G ilviD, who for years has been an admrer OF
the Chamber of Commerce, agrees with the
opinion of its membership that economy ID
IL Of the departments of the city govern
meut and low taxation is what the pei pile
want to make Them prosperous and happy
and to keep our city booming; and while he
does not agree with he notions OF that dis
iuguished divine, The Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, as to improvisation for labor, he is
of the opinion that be should set an example
in demanding only such compensation as HIS
services are worth to the taxpayer, viz: 81
per day.
The City Attorney appreciates the fact that
