what the People are Saying.
Well all feel gay when Bryan
comes marching home again
y
Besides the statesman from Beam
Vile, q prominent member of the
fishing clue has gone to New York TO
r ceive our Bryan from a foreign
shore.
No matter how well Mayor Gala
CHAN may be posted by his bosom
companions, he will have to face the
people, whose servant he consented
to be.
His unexplained absence in a for.
eign land, cannot be treated as a mat
ter of no public concern. Because the
people have not held Indignation
meetings 1t does not follow that they
have consented TO have the mayor
to leave the city and travel in foreign
lands.
When the Mayor eturns the people
may expect a display of extra energy
on mis- part; he would be a dull man
Indeed If he saw nothing in his trav.
els to suggest as improvements to u
city.
Small things are often spoken of by
citizens, that might be done to add to
the comfort of the people; after his
visit to "Paree," Mayor Callaghan's
head will be full of g tricks.
He will cast his eye owe our parks
and plazas, and suggest some of the
things that might be done. The
Main plaza might have a few seats,
tor instance.
We shall be ready to meet the
mayor; may he return in better plight
than did the prodigsl son; and no
doubt he will; the Prodigal son left
his fathers home full handed, so did
Bryan; the Prodigal spent his sub
stance in riotous living and finally
wound up in a hog pen; right here
q long journey by land and sea, but
he wound up in elegant "Paree" and
lived OH the cream of the world.
Hence there will be no ''carne al
SADIE" prepared by the people on his
return.
The people, his master, have been
compelled to stay at home, pay taxes,
wrestle with dull times, and hot
weather, while he, their paid SER
ts, has been over the seas, aud
enjoying life in the gayest and most
beautiful city of the world.
OF course it is mean of the people to
object to their servant going where he
pleases, and remaining away as long
al he pleases, but it's a way the
people have when they pay q nan to
serve them.
And now there is a pretty howdy
do in the county government; the
commissioners have discovered that
the county has been paying for Sher.
if McCall's deputies without warrant
of law, and 1t is reported that the
sheriff will be called on to refund.
This is well; it Is time the county
commissioners were looking into the
economy of the county government.
We have an elephant in the shape of
the new court house or hand, and all
the leaks should be plugged up.
The celebrated diplomatic cores
pondence between Minister Rudini
and Secretary Blaine will not soon be
forgotten, but the following CORES
pendence will be enjoyed by our cit
