THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE OPERA
LICENSE.

In the columns of the DEMOCRAT dur
ing the last two or three weeks. we have
been discussing the hasty and incOnsid-
crate action of our City Council, in
passing the Opera license ordinance,
holding it wholly unwarranted in law
and equity.
This license scheme makes an eXcep-
ton to the amusement show ordinance
passed last winter-that is, a special
privilege is granted to one man, allow
ing him to tax as he may please. This
is not uniform taxation, but violation
of that we'll recognized and equitable
principle. The ordinance of last winter
taxes each show according to its rate of
admission. This ordinance is still in
operation, yet the new license scheme
goes into operation. Here, then, are
two modes of taxing amusement shows
in force in Canton. How is this, gentle
men of the Council? Is not the excep-
tiOn merely sop for the mOgul of the
Opera, and at the expense of the city?
How can the of the Council reconcile
this with their cOnsciences and oath of
office?
This license ordinance only licenses
the owner of the hall, giving him the
privilege, for $50 year, to assess the
troupes as he may please. The trOupes,
then, are not licensed; but only handed
over to the untender mercy of the specu-
latiye owner of the hall. Does not every
fair.minded citizen of Canton perceive
the iniquity in the scheme? No one
supposes the owner will pro-rate with
the shows. He is not that kind. Is
this fair and uniform taxation?

OUR STOLEN ELEPHANT.

MR.. EDITOR:-We Democrats of the
Fourth ward don't fancy the conspiracy
that stole OUR ELEPHANT from the city
enclosure and handed him over to the
Opera man to be used by him to draw
his chariot round his jungle. The fact
is, it was mean piece of business, but
the tricksters did not use the Fourth
ward gate to get him away. The two
seutinels at our gate were honest,
straight and vigilant, and were not to
be fooled by Billy Wyant and Fawcett,
or by any one aiding and abetting. /
cannot say as much for the Sixth ward;
and as for the Seventh ward, they were
also emissaries of the Opera Bouffe,
ready to serve him in all that the Bouffe
required. They, no doubt, thought they
were playing 1t smart-and they did,
giving away OUR ELEPHANT and them
selves cheap. Billy Wyant and Mr.. Faw-
cett, understand, are prominent mem
bers of the First M. E. { Church; and we
cannot understand how they can recon-
Gil their professions of religion with
this Operation in voting away the city
revenues to the Opera IngersO1l BOuffe.
They may not be troubled, however,
about reconciliation, being possibly
mere professors Of religion. We can
now understand how the great Brutus
was led to exclaim: "Ye gods, it doth
amaze mel"
FOURTH WARD.

THE OPERA ORDINANCE SCHEME.

Had the license Opera ordinance
been in the interest of the amusement
show companies, there would be some
excuse therefor. But this is not the
case.
These companies are handed over
without restriction OF limitation, to the
owner of the Opera House. He may as
sess them as much or as little as he
pleases. For this astonishing privilege
he pays the city $50 yearl
There is no requirement in this out
rageous ordinance that he shall charge
the show trOupes pro rata. No restric-
ton whatever is placed on the lord OF
the OperaI pro rata charge would re-
uuire the Opera man to assess each COM
pany not more than fifty cents, for one
hundred or more amusement exhibitions
are given each year. Will some of the
learned gentlemen of the Council who
connived and cOnspired for this Ordi-
nance, explain all this? Can the City
Council of Canton afford to do as mean
a thing as this and at the same time
rob the city of about $500 a year reve-
nue.?
We desire and intend that the citizens
of Canton shall fully understand this
entire piece of business. We condemn
the Republican party and the Republi-
can Congress for passing acts and jobs
in the interest Of monopoly and individ-
uals; and assuredly we shall not endorse
the City Council of Canton in passing
an act as mean in principle and as in
famous in every respect. The Opera
editor of the Repository attempts no
vindicatiOn by argument. He is pro-
fuse iu his personal filings and dab5 at
the editor of the DEMOCRAT. In all that,
however, there is no argument, and a
discriminating public will not fail to
see the shallOwness of his cause and the
mere personality in the whole thing.
All the interest we have in it, is ap-
proving right and cOndemning wrong.
We maintained last winter the right of
the Council to pass the amusement show
ordinance. We then defended the COun-
Gil, and the members thereof, from the
personal and vituperatiye attacks of the
Opera editor of the Rep. in his public
meetings and editorials. This was the
issue at the April election, and the peo-
pie of Canton endorsed the late Council,
and our position by..electing seven out Of
ten members of Council. Four of those
gentlemen, Rauch, Hiner, Bast and
Werner, Notwithstanding all this, went
over and served the lord of the Opera!
These, with the three Republicans and
Mr.. Shields, who held over, made the
eight to six that did the Opera busi-
nessl
Now, we submit to every good citizen
of Canton, whether the majority in our
City Council have not shown themselves
unworthy public confidence. There is
not one redeeming feature in this per-
sOnal job. 1t is wholly in the interest
of one man and to the injury of this
city. The manner, too, in which it was
passed was unworthy honorable men.
But, as usual, in such cases, the scheme
OF job required haste, and the lord of the
Opera was on hand to prod and urge his
tools,

TH9 Democratic party, as a political
organization, has ever been opposed to
the establishment in this country OF
privileged classes.
Privileged classes are established un-
der the guise of protection" or by be-
ing chartered either specially, or under
a general law.
By these schemes of the grasping and
crafty, great advantage of opportunity
is given them, financially, or in busi-
ness arrangement-all to the disadvant-
age and oppression of the rest of the
people.
Equality before the law in Opportuni-
ty, equal taxation; in short, equal
rights under government In all re-
spects, was the design in establishing
this Government. To establish JUS
"tice" was the object and aim, and this
term includes equality.
Equality of rights is Natures plan,
And following Nature Is the march of man.

RICHES AND POVERTY.

Mr.. John Thompson, Vice-President of
the Chase National Bank in New York,
sent an address to the Bankers COnven-
tion at Saratoga, which was presented
to that body on Wednesday of last week.
In this paper he discusses the dangers of
the future. He thinks the political ele-
ments of this country are infammable;
that monopoly is raised against strike;
that hundreds of millions are aeeumu-
lated by dozen rich men against the
hundreds of restless, impecuniOus vo-
ters;" and that money, whisky and de-
traction dominate where patriotism
should rule.
In this country we are rapidly drifting
into tho two classes-the very rich and
the wretchedly poor. The wealthy see
many and serious evils, and advocate a
strong government, that is, govern
ment of force rather than of justice.
Harsh and severe laws are demanded,
and an increase of Federal troops.
During the Pittsburgh railway riots, a
few years ago, all this was developed.
Far better would it be for the capital
lists to extend sympathy, to show kindly
friendship, to be guided by reason and
justice, than to act harshly and oppress,
People are not fools, if they do work for
living, and always appreciate good
sense and friendly regard. Rich fools
often attempt to tyranniZe, fOrgetful of
the inflammable character of poor hu-
man nature.

GOVERNOR CORNELL, of New York,
Half-breed, and Mr.. Conkling, Stalwart,
areilikely to have lively row. The Cor

trying to bribe the Governor to sign the

No one of the Schaefer majority of the
Council cOndescends to explain the as
tOnishing scene exhibited ON the even
ing of the 7th, prior to the passage of the
Opera job. Mr.. Schaefer, the party in
terested directly in the scheme, was al
lowed to address the Council in his own
behalf! No one was allowed to reply to
the Opera magnate and show up the out
rage by which the city was robbed and
Schaefer benefited. The set-up arrange
ment was plainly visible. We are not
surprised at Billy Wyant and Fawcett,
but we certainly are at others!

THE general opinion of the citizens
of Canton is that the Opera ordinance
operation was an operatic piece of busi-
ness on the part of our City Council. 1t
was remodeled and rushed through in
hot haste, regardless of deceney. The
sharp lawyers in the Council, with
sharp Billy Wyant and one or two 9TH
ers who wanted to retain patronage and
get a job, with others too easily per-
suaded and controlled, made up the
eight that passed the scheme, that robs
the city Of some $500 year revenue.
These are the facts.

GOVERNOR FOSTER, Attorney General
Nash, Auditor Oglevie and Secretary of
State Townsend are running over the
State attending county conventions,
making political speeches and doing
dirty political work. They all draw
their salaries right along. Some people
have old fashioned notions that when
State officials are paid by the whole peo-
pie to attend to public business, they
ought to attend to it. These vOciferOus
patriots are not paid big salaries by the
people of Ohio to go around and howl at
political meetings.

THAT POWERFUL SPEECH.

From all we can learn, it must have
been the powerful speech of MIR. Schaef-
er himself to the Council on the evening
of the 7th, that secured the vote of the
doubtful member from the Sixth ward,
and thus passed his license ordinance.
Billy Wyant insisted on the speech from
the Opera Ingersoll man, knowing his
great power in that line. The fact Is,
we Democrats last spring were greatly
alarmed at the Opera BOss's indignation
meetings. They were favorably reported
in his organ, of course written out by
himself. Mr.. Wyant, no doubt, owes his
election to the Council last April to
those able speeches in the Opera House.
They did the business, and Mr.. Wyant
appreciates them.
1t will be seen, therefore, that it was
quite proper for Wyant u Co. to have
Mr.. Schaefer address the Council on
that occasion. 1t was thoughtful in the
orator not to refer to the ''carpet-bag-
"gers in the City Council; and Of their
"squandeIing the money Of the city, in
improving the Water Works, sc. Oh!
yes; it was shrewd and crafty. In truth,
Billy deserves almost, if not quite, as
much credit as some of the lawyers.
An ordinarily modest man would have
declined appearing before the Council
under the circumstances; but the emer-
gency was great, and something had to
be done to convert that doubtful MEM
ber. The elephant was all right, and
was in the hands of Billy and the Opera
man. The doubtful fellow was the one
