The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1891-02-20

The Business Mems Association has
considered certain amendments to the city
charter necessary and desirable in order to
secure good municipal government. The
committee of the common council have gone
ahead and prepared certain amendments
without Incorporating the plans of the bust
ness men. The result will probably be two
sets of amendments brought before the leg
islature. There is nothing Objectionable in
the charter amendments formulated by the
common council, only it would have been
well to have gone before the Legislature with
an understanding as to what was wanted
and whether the wants of one association
were to be incorporated, opposed or ignored.
The business mems association can scarcely
be regarded as Alexander LIST, of Russia,
considered parliament an excellent thing
to have, an admirable way of getting at all
sides of question. Alexander went so far
as to propose an opposition council in Rus
STA to discuss and oppose all imperial plans,
and stand up and be knocked down by the
emperor. The o. B. M. A. are not thus to
he reckoned. Amendments of both council
and association should be considered on
their merits.

The democratic party has been one man
party. Tilden swayed his party and then
the mantle fell upon great Cleveland, who
swung his party for free trade, and now
when the party is nearly unit for free sill
yer coinage, he rebulzes them and like the
cringing of whipped puppies, they fall at
his feet. Each week the rank and file Of
democratic papers look toward the east and
salute the great high priest, Cleveland.

"Are levees democratic institu-

the public schools and the drainage
OF New Orleans party matter? No;
but they constitute responsible
charge upon the democracy, which
is entrusted with safeguarding the
general welfare, and the lottery high

The congressional candidate in
Texas will have to fish or cut bait,
and he will have to say which in un.
mistaksble terms. He will have to
stand square on the Ocala platform
or stand from under. Standing on
that platform to secure third party
votes, and standing off the platform
to secure democratic votes, will worry
the candidate as badly as standing
upon nothing and kicking at the
wind
