Judge Ezra B. Taylor will, at the first oppor-

were signed by one of the assistant Secretaries OF
the Interior. The law specifies that patents Cor
inventions shall be signed by the Secretary OK

that task for him. Thus thousands of patents

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER. rs. 1888.
CITY COUNCIL AT WORK.

The meeting of the city council in
regular session yesterday, again de-
veloped what has been occasion OF
frequent comment in this journal, VIZ:
that the plain directions and orders
of council, as we'll as charter pro-
visions for the government of council
officers, are Systematically and hab-
ftually violated. Particularly was
this noticeable in the charge of Alder
man Gallagher that four months had
elapsed since the finance committee
had made any report upon the
finances of the city. The clerk OF
council excused himself for the non
performance of this work under the
plea that the treasurer's vouchers
were 80 slow in reaching him that he
could not make up the report as re-
uuired. This shows that the pro-
visions of the charter, article fourth,
sections one hundred thirty-tlve and
one hundred thirty-siX, have not
been complied with, also that the
duties as assigned the mayor in art
Gle nine of the charter, section two
hundred and twenty seven have
been neglected for months. These
sections require the finance committee,
city clerk and mayor to do that which
they clearly have not done, and
which they have Systematically neg
lected. if Alderman Gallagher's
charge as made in open council yester-
day be true, and that charge was not
in any particular denied.
The charter requires that the city
clerk "shalI keep a financial record of
the city in a proper bOok-keeping
style, and publish statement thereof
at the end of each quarter" and yet
he does not deny that four months
have elapsed since any financial state
ment has been made to the city.
The charter says that the "Finance
committee shall examine the accounts
submitted by the city clerk with the
vouchers for each expenditure made
and report to the city council the re
suit of such examination, and such re
port when made and approved by the
council, shall be published in the Of
fetal journal of the city" ami section
two hundred and twenty-seven says
1.-THE mayor shall cause a monthly eX
hibit of the financial affairs to be put
Iished in the official journal Of tn,
city"

CHAIRMAN OF THE SELECT COMMIT
TEE TO INVESTIGATE ALLEGED
VIOLATION OF IMMIGRATION
LAWS.

Melbourne H. Ford, representing
the fifth district of Michigan in con-
gress, is the author of a resolution
providing for the appointment OF
committee of five To investigate as to
whether our immigration laws are be-
ing enforced. This resolution passed
the house last July, and the speaker
appointed Mr.. Ford chairman of the
committee. An investigation was be-
gun and is still in progress. Up to
the present time the committee have
worked chiefly in New York city.
The evidence they have taken has
shown an alarming state Of affairs.
They discovered that it is the prac-
tice of most steamship lines to have
agents in every village and hamlet OF
southern Europe, who use every
artifice to induce people to buy tick
cts to America. There is a class OF
Italians in this country who make a
business Of importing common labor
ers in large numbers. The committee
examined q large number of these
laborers, and did not in a single in

ders of the city charter mean
anything, they mean tha1
the city clerk is to see that
the financial accounts of the city are
to be kept in such shape that
monthly statement can be made OF
the same: also, see ordinances chapter
XXI, section l-2) that the city clerk In
addition to this statement shall pre-
pare and submit to the finance COM
mittee on or before the 18th day OF
March and September, in each year
a detailed statement of the receipts
and expenditures of the city; ana
that the mayor shall see that this
monthly statement, as presented 10
the council, is duly printed IN the
official journal of the city" This Is
undoub tedly what these ordinance
and character provisions mean, and
it is also undoubtedly true that these
reouirements have been habitually
disregarded. and that the public, the
tax payers, for four months past, nave
had no account rendered them of the
financial condition of the city. How
far the tax payers of the city propose
to permit the mayor and clerk TO
carry their disregard and disobedi-
ence of the plain law laid down for
the government of these officials, it
is not in the power of the LIGHT
to say. 1t does seem, however, that
a due regard for the interests OF the
CITY finances, and due obedience to
the plain demands of charter and Or
dinance require that these demands
and orders made obligatory and bind
ing upon the city officials be complied
with. If these officers are above law,
then let these charter safeguards
thrown around their actions in order
that the city may be promptly IN
formed of their disposition of the funds
provided by taxation for the expenses
of the city, let these safeguards be
removed and let there be no pretense
of an obedience which is never rem
dered.
Time was, and that not so very long
since either, when the financial COM
mittee of the council under the hand
Of its chairman, Alderman Belknap,
systematically made its report in ac-
cordance with DEGREES of council, and
that report was published to the tax
payers as provided by law. This is
no longer done, and the city grows
FESTIVE and impatient under the habl-
tual disregard of so safe and obvious a
regulation.
The interests of this city demand,
for more reasons than one, that this
law so wisely Incorporated into the
charter be no longer disregarded, and
if the present city officers refuse or
neglect to render obedience thereto, let
them be removed as the law directs,
and let others more mindful OF the
city's interests be chosen III their
stead.
