POLICY OF lNFAMY." :"

Yesterday was the day set apart by the
Mayor for the Inauguration OF his poll
cy OF lnfamy" In regard to the worthy
poor OF the cIty-the setting in motion OF
asysten, part Of which is the work OF
his OVID brain but all OF which Is OF un-
questionable inexpediency. BY this
method he can make paupers out OF the
worthy poor; he can have II In the power
OF a certain few to cast back at them who
receive assistance the slur that In this
year OF grace they received assistance at
his hands and that they are beholden to
him accordingly. 1t looks like per-
sonal system arranged by the Mayor az
the self constituted and appointed com
mittee Of one to look after the interests
Of the poor; conceived by him and to be
put into operation for personal political
gain and aggrandizement, and to be used
as a sort OF club hereafter against the un
fortunate and distressed. But whence
comes this authority-this autocratic
power-to use the departments Of the
city in this way, when no vote of the City
Council has given any such? Is the
power, then, usurped and the heads OF
the different departments of the city, the
hirelings OF the Mayor, and do they
bend before him as being the purveyor OF
patronage OF he city1 or course, II 1t is
the Mayor who is caring for the business
OF the city and the City Council is but a
puppet worked by wire mechanism, LET US
understand it so. But the people believed
when the City Council was elected that
1t was elected for business purposes, and
the Mayor to see that It's wishes and com
mands we're duly enforced. To our mind,
1t appears beyond any doubt, that the
steps taken by the Mayor In this mat
ter are irregular, Illegal and void.
They can be carried out and put into
effect bv the silent acquiescenoe OF the
City Council, but that doesn't make q
wrong right; neither does the end justify
the means. But the Mayor is looking for
halo of light around his own head and
desires to gain the credit for being phil.
anthropic-to be known hereafter among
the Mayors that have been as Tiepke tn,
Good. But 1t makes little difference wha,
we say about this matter. The system
will go on just the same. All that ",
can do is to point out the folly Of 1t, tn,
purpose of it, the illegality OF II, tn,
psuperizlng features OF Il. Every maj
that has anything to do with 1t is
marked man. Hereafter ne will 20 sbou
