SOME LITTLE scnKMEs
which Are BsinE Cooked Up for FutuF
Council Meeting.

GouuCh u4eNtlhke
The next meeting Of Council promises
to be what majority Of those held for
sometime past have been-liyely and full
Of interest to both the members and the
public. According to the rumors and re-
ports that have reached the lSTELILaEScER
a number Of little schemes arc on foot,
some OF which are almost sure to come 10
the surface, and come OF which may ma
terializa, and in so doing cause the utter
auce Of some language. In s1me OF these
schemes the fins hands OF those
Machiavelian individuals vino own
and operate Whseling's little Tam
many, are already tn be seen. Just
what the leading schema is, has not yet
developed, but one, is the unseating OF
Mr.. Bernard Stanley, member Of the
Second Branch from the First ward. The
reason advanced by the august dynasty
that has 80 long ruled the City'B affairs to
greater extent than it should have been
allowed to do, and one OF the members OF
which, by.the-way, holds his seat in Ooun-
Gil not by tho votes OF the people Of his
ward, Is, that Mr.. Stanley as Coun-
Gilman will have to pass on his
own acts. At the last meeting OF Coun.
Gil. City Collector CrawEord reported
that he had choeen MessrC. Ralph Arkle
and Bernard Stanley to assist him in the
collection OF taxes and they were confirm
ed as such assistants. No bond Is requir-
ed from theRe gentlemen and they are not
really city officials. But 1t suits the pur.
pose Of these schemefs to make it appear
that Mr.. Stanley is such aud for that rea.
son not eutitled to hold his seat. The
true reason that they havo for wanting 10
dispense with Mr.. Stanley is, that he is
too good q Councilman; be cannot be
handled like 80 much putty and made to
vote in such and such tnSuner.
This was demonstrated very clearly dur
ing the progress Of the police inyestiga.
ton. Mr.. Stanley voted as he thought
right. He has too many progressive ideas
for these Bourbon schemers, and go they
want him out OF the way. 1t never occur.
red to them when Mr.. Stanley Was q paid
member OF the Fire Department and q
Councilman at the same time, that he
ought 10 20, and that was not the only pre-
cedent that Mr.. Stanley has on his side.
As tax collector he will be employed for
oDly a limited time. It is not likely that
the schemers can muster sufficient mum.
Der to b lunce Mr.. Stanley. Mr.. Stanley
does not think so and told Barney CALI
gan 80 in no measured way last week. II
Ia said that the scene bstween these two
was very racy and that the intimatiou was
given 10 Galligan that he would be walk
Ing the streets with 10 city ofi;crs at bis
command when Mr. STANLEY was still in
Council.
Another scheme is this: It will he re-
melnbered thst Couneil referred to q
special joint mmittee tho consideration
Of placing the Fire and Police Depart
meuls under the control OF a BIard. Col.
George B. Caldwell was made chairman
uf this committee, sn& he prepared in a
csrs'ul manner an ordinance which the
c)nmi,tse hh printed aad presented at
tho last meeting Of C1unti. 1t was read
once in the Second Branch, It is
now given out that the schemera
propose 10 have this ordinance
referred TO the Ordinance Committee,
OF which Aft. Caldwell Is chairman,
some say that he Is the committee, and
have il examined. The schemers, or fath'
or some OF their ffiends, obi ct to certain
portions OF the ordinance As it hiss been
presented and desire to arrange II differ
emily. For instance, it provides for four
commissioners, two Of whom shall be Re-
publlcans and two Democrats, and none
OF them nor any Of the men under them
are to he in any way connected wish . s2'
loon. 1t is reported pretty straight, that
two saloonists are alter plHces on that
Board, and this section will have to be
changed to accommodate them. =.
II neither OF these twJ matters should
be brought up there will be the appoint-
ments OF the Gas Trustees 10 engage the at
tention OF everybody. The Trustees are
Extremely non. communicative on this
subject. This much is known however:
The friends OF Mr. George Hell. who
Messrs RoIfani Seeley named asAssistant,
Secretary and Mr.. Jepson named as secre-
tAry, have been after Capt. Rolf 10 have
him agree with Mr. Jepson and recon-.
mend Mr.. He'll in place Of Mr.. Butcher
| for the first place but thus far Capt. Rolf is
too much vexed over the lection Of Mr.
Butcher to listen TO anything ike that.
The day after the last mRetingoi Council,
at which the appointments OF Messrs. Roll
and Seeley were rejected, it was given out
that those two gentlemen could not afford
to present Mr.. Butchers name again. But
since then rumor has 1t that they think
differently, and that now they think that
il Council can afford 10 refuse 10 confirm q
pentlemanlike Mr.. Butcher, backed ashe is
BY prominent citizens, Council can also
afford 10 get along with the present office
force. At least II Council can stand it,
the Trustees can. The schemers are watch
ing the Trustees closely, and the Trustees
have intimated that il the former appoint
menis fail togo through, others Just as
Objectionable to tho dynasty shall be
made.
