TAYLOR AND HIS OPINION.

the Council.


Saunders Will Contest the Presidency of
the Council.
City Attorney Taylor has within the
last twenty-four hours become even
more redheaded than he has been for
the last forty years by the relentless
laws of nature. The sensation came
over Mr.. Taylor at the meeting of the
council one week ago Monday night,
when he was gently but very firmly
crusted by the aldermen who conveyed
to him the information that his opinion
was superfuous. The information was
sugar coated on the first dose, but on
Tuesday night last the patient had to take
the bitter medicine, cork and all. He
fairly danced with rage, and his .au-
buru-crowaed head ducked in and out
among the aldermen like . bunch OF
toy bailoous. Anger scintilated from
his s-globed eyes like sparks from
n descending rocket, aud he waxed
wroth-very wrothy. He had prepared
an "opinion," aud the council neverlet
him read 1t. lie is just as sure as can
be that Alderman Saunders was elected
president of the council by the plural
ity vote, and that that vote was for
NAL ballot. He Gays that II must have
been . formal ballot because in stat
utory elections the council has no
right 10 monkey with informal ballots.
The attorney has worked very hard on
his opinion, and presented = grist
from Howelps statutes to back

plurality VOTE" Alderman saunders.
too, has worked himself un to an awful
phrensy over tho matter. H. is now IN
that state OF virtuous indignation which
is described by the words, 81 didn't

oily TO the supreme court for . writ OF

tracted cold weather. Money vas

northwest are in splendid financial con-
sltion. The southern markets are 6
little weak, owing TO the low price OF
cotton. Ny observations can lac gwen
in few words: First, the market is
heavily stocked with goods OF oil
kinds, particularly dress fabrics. oec-
ond, our American manufacturers are
PRODUCING so heavily that foreign
goods are a drug on the market and We
arc growing less aud less dependent
on foreign looms. Third. cur goods
are awavs equal and general
ly better than foreign images,
and as a result the foreign producers
are dispossng of their product at prices
that must entail loss, but they ere
making strong effort 10 retain IN
American market. At no time - q
business life of forty years have l
known dry goods 10 be 90 cheap.
Fourth, | find that the great proper
ton of merchandise goes direct from

and this has the effect Of lowering
prices. The improvement in machi-
merry is constantly lowering prices, as
for example. cotton goods are from q

gratifying point in all this IL that 1t has
come, not through q reduction in
wages, for labor is worth more today
than ever before, but IL 10 the direct
result of improved methods and cheaper

on subjects pertaining TO the welfare Of

OF Bishop GiIiesple's talk. The re-
naming subjects were, Religious
Books and Papers" the Rev. F.. A..
Wells; "sanday Evenings" the Rev.
J. Is. Hubbs, Family Prayer the
Rev. Campbell Fair. Mr.. Fair dwelt NJ
length upon the beauty and power
Of family prayer. saying that there MAS

will he remembered by the boys and

tsllers announced "Aldermsn Sxun-

The official record then reads a. fol.

Alderman Mshoney took exception TO
the mayors decision, stating that Al
derman Saunders having received q
plurality OF votes he should DO de-
clsred elected, and thereupon moved
that the matter be referred TO the city
attorney" This motion was lost by a
majority vote OF the council, eleven
voting in favor of referring and thirteen
voting against 1t. Yet in spite Of this
very plain and decided voice of the
council, saying it did not care to hear
from him on this subject, City Attor-
ney Taylor had the atfrontery to pre-.
pare and oder to the council his opin-
ion and his arguments in support of
that opinion at the meeting held Tues
day night. 1t would seem that Mr..
Taylor was not satisfied with his duties
as attorney. but desired to also act in
the capacity OF alderman or as men,
Der of the council. The Old council
was theoretically composed of twenty
members, but in actual practice it was
often favored with the opinions and
arguments of the "twenty.first alder
man from the thirteenth ward" There
can be no objection to the city attor-
ney's opinion on legal questions beng
given on the floor of the council cham.

new council will not need his assistance
