some othe.

The people who love this city and take
pride in its good name and fair fame
earnestly protest against those disgracefuI
exhibitions which take place at the meet
ings of the city council. Night after night
the council chamber is turned into hall OF
riot and disorder. On some occasions the
councilmen knock each other down and
maui each other until they are bloody and
exhausted. AT other times members de.
nounce each other as liars, using the plain
old word, and prance across the circle with
clenched fists, inviting 20 fight Most of
the meetings are disorderly and some of
them should cause a raid on the hall by the
police. The mayor seems to be utterly
powerless to preserve order or maintain a
show of decency; his effeminate efforts in
that direction do little more than excite
the risibilities of the auditors and
arouse the contempt of the pugilistic
gentlemen within the ring. If the MAYOR
had any force of character or if he had q
proper conception of his duties as chief
magistrate of the city and presiding officer
of the council, he would promptly put stop
to these shameless exhibitions by placing
the yiolators of law and decency under ar
rest and bringing them to public trial for
their dlsgraceful Conduct

cuses and in their committee meetings. but
for the sake of decency, in the name of law
and order and civilization, do not permit the
council chamber to be turned into prize
ring, and do not let the public learn to ex-
pect weekly contest in pugilism or a
blackguard match at the city hall.
If the mayor is unable to preserve order
if his authority is defied, derided and
ieered by the councilmen, we submit that
1t is his duty to support himself and uphold
his lawful power as presiding officer with
detachment of policemen
AT any rate, all descent people will aeree
that something should be done to put a
stop to these unseemly aud disorderly pro-
ceedings, these shameful exhibitions
which might be expected in beer hall or
a convention of Anarchists, but which are
disgraceful in the extreme in the council

MAYOR SCOTT, when he wants members
OF the council to cease fighting, says
Come to order, please" The Mayor is
not up as referee in a prize ring. The
proper term to use is "Break away" If
his honor is going to run mills in the coun-
Gil chamber he should read up on sporting
terms, and not display such deplorable ig-
norance of the business as he now mani
tests. -.

The Michigan Official to Be In
vestigated Further.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 1S.-The latest
development in the Soper case is the
contemplated action of Judge Peterson,
of the Ingham circuit court. He has
notified Prosecuting Attorney Prosser
10 be in court tomorrow, when he will,
in open court, call attention to the Soper
charges and direct him to assist the in
veStigation committee in their eXamina-
ton, and if the findings warrant a
criminal prosecution proceedings will
be. taken at once.
Mr.. Soper said that from letters he
had received he was convinced that he
had been too haSty in filing his resiena-
ton, but, of course, there was nothing
now left but to make statement in his
own behalf at the proper time. Gov.
Winans has appointed commission,
consisting of eX-Mayor DOnavan, Judge
q. A. Smith and i. DeputyE Secretary of
State ROwley, all of this city,
to thoroughly investigate the charges
against Secretary OF State SOper,
who resigned the night be

will be taken. Within the last two
weeks, contractors have delivered two
carloads of paper-enOugh 10 last nearly

chased for $500 less than the state will
now have to pay for it. AS far as can
be ascertained. the value of the books
given aWaV was about 81 200.

that | have here, relative to.the relnsur-
ing of several of the companies, states
the whole truth. The companies cannot
bear the losses that have been falling
upon them. The losses in Mime
apolis and St. Paul alone would
not compel them to take this action,
but it has been the same all over the
country. There have been losses of
nearly Sl.000,000 in this city within a
wear. There was that loss of, approx
mately. 100000 in st. Paul not long
ago. There was the big fire in st. Louis
with a loss of over $1,000, 900. The
losses in this city have taken every cent
that has been taken out of the city for
premiums, leaving not cent for the
payment of the commissions of the
agents and other expenses of running
the company. This lack of money is
the only reason for the advance in the
rates"

JUDGE CANTY's LECTURE.
He Says Poor Mems Sons Are the
Winners in This World.

NOrmanna hall was filled last evening
with an intelligent audience, though
one that was drawn from what would
be considered as the humber walks
of life. The occasion for the gather
ing was the announcement that
Judge Thomas Canty would lecture.
The judge took as his subject, "How
Self-M Made Men Are Made" He was re-
quested to deliver this lecture by sew
eral gentlemen who are acquainted with
the struggles he has made and the result
Of the struggles.
In his lecture last night Judge Canty
took the ground that the opportunities
for advancement in the world. and from
worldly standpoint, come in greater
numbers TO the son of the poor man
than to the son of the millionaire.
Given. two children: Both are alike as
10 physical formation, quality of brain,
powers of ppication-precisely SINH
lar i'll themselves. They differ only in
environment. One is the son of the
millionaire; the other. the son OF a
poor man. AS they grow little older
the same ambitions are awakened IN
both. Then the race of life be-
bins. The son of the poor man will
attain the goal of success before the
son of the millionaire has more than
half started. That is Judge Canty's
opinion expressed in his lecture last
evening. The son of the millionaire
knows what he wants and he knows
how to get what he wants. The path is
open before him, but it is stony path,
for anything that is worth having
can not be secured without work.
And there the son of the rich man
fail. fLuXurY has so undermined his
powers of application and his ability
TO withstand rebuffS that he is incapa-
BILE of making the eXertiOn necessary to
the attainment of the success which he
cOvets. While he has been plodding
along under difficulties, the son of the
poor man has. on the other hand, devel-
Oped just those qualities in himself that
he is going to need. He has learned to
work. He has learned to expect hard
knocks from the world. While he has
been. seemingly, bound down by his
poverty, he has been storing up energy,
all the vital forces, that will one day
enable him to burst the bonds that I'M
pede him and command success, instead

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Austrian Juvenile band did not
draw according to its merits at the Ly-
ceum last night. 1t is enough to say
that the audience went wild over the
playing of these young foreigners.
Every number would have been encored
had the people in front had their way.
When it is considered that the members
of this baud are mere boys, their play
ing can be regarded as little short
of marvellous. All the precision
as to time and pitch that one
expects from the oldest artists, the care
fui shading, everything that is charac-
teristic of the artistic musician, is
found in the several members of this
band, for it is not an orchestra Band
though it is. it makes such music that
most of the orchestras in the country
might well envy it. Most of the music
played by these young fellows is what
might be called 'pOpular''-thati is, one
can appreciate it if he can appreciate
harmony, even though he be not
