part of the Christian loving people
those who have households to pro.
tect against the ravages of the lower
strata.
Beside the moral aspect which con-
fronts us as community, and which
of itself lis quite serious enough to
arouse into activity every father who
has son and every mother who has a
daughter, there is the business prob
lem which interests US all as tax
payers. We now have floating in
debtedness of about $4,000, which
will practically wipe out our tax levy
due in June, leaving us bankrupt to
start in on the next fiscal year, save
and except what we may get from
saloon licenses, water rents and few
other minor and inconsiderate sources
of revenue. Unless we shall soon
adopt business principles and adhere
strictly thereto, we will find our
selves going backward instead of for
ward.
In the approaching municipal cleo
ton the FREE PRESS has no friends
to reward or enemies to punish. AS
a public journal it will reserve to
itself the right to call attention from
time to time to such matters as may
seem to it of Importance to the pub
lie. In common with all our people
it desires to see the affairs of the city
administered in thoroughly prac-
tical and business-like way. 1t wants
to see the public money expended
with more regard to permanency of
improvements and with less careless
ness than has characterized some of
the acts of those in authority at this
time and of those who have preceded
them. 1t is self-evident that there
has been too much personal pickering
in the past, with corresponding lack
of application of business principles.
1t is not saying too much when we
assert that a business man who would
run his private affairs in the same
extravaganza manner that has char
acterized our city management would
ruin his credit in a much shorter
period than two years. And yet there
is every reason why public funds
should be expended with equal discre-
tion as those belonging to an indi-
vidual.
Business men and taxpayers should
begin to do little active thinking.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

In the death of Frederick Douglass
at Washington on Wednesday even
ing, the career of a most remarkable
man was closed-a career which could
hardly have been duplicated in any
other nation on earth. Born as a
slaveand so remaining until after he
had attained his majority, he pushed
his way up by his own eXertiOnS to a
foremost place among the orators of
his age, and easily became the leader
of his race. OF course, after he es-
capped from the tolls of slavery, he had
the help of William Lloyd Garrison
and his abolitionist co-workers, but
the fact remains that this would have
done him little good had he not pos
sessed ability of his own. The story
of his life reads like romance, and
his career illustrates what representa-
titiVeS of his race may accomplish. He
exercised great influence in forming
public sentiment against the slave
power, and though he had been a
slave, and knew we'll the evils of that
institution he was singularly free from
hatred and bitterness, which character
lied many of the earlier abolition
lists, land as a result he undoubtedly eX-
ercised a far greater power and in
fuence through his strong argument
against slavery than he otherwise
would. He was possessed of rare good
sense, great tact, and cool judgment,
and this made him a safe and trusted
adviser of his race. 1t is said of him
that because of his earnestneSS and
evident fairness that he won the re-
spect of even the friends of slavery,
and that they would often listen to
him when they would have been
tempted to have mobbed white man.
Mr.. Douglass, at the time of his
death, was nearly so years old. He
had held many important offices under
the government, the last of which was
minister to Hayti. Since his return
from that country he has lived quietly
at Washington, enjoying the honors
of his life's work.

pany or the city run the electric

IT it would not be out of order, and
we might not be considered as med
ding with something that concerns
us as little as it does good many
other citizens, we would suggest to
to the Electric Light company that

tract and refuse to allow it
to be further considered. And
in order to allow the people
to express themselves on this much
discussed question, we beg to further
suggest that the council submit the
question of municipal ownership to
the voters for their approval or other
wise.
Until this is done it would seem that
there will be a continual Source of
discomfort permeaGing our municipal
atmosphere, and other important
matters of city government will be
continually subservient to this all
absorbing question.
If our suggestions, made in good
faith, are acted upon, as we hope they
may be, we shall have this matter
settled and settled for some time to
come

A SUGGESTION OR TWO.

The council Saturday night, in the
face of Mayor Viewers unsolicited
statement that he would veto the
electric light contract if the aldermen
saw fit to accept it, postponed action
for one week. When the council, one
week previous, proposed to give the
Electric Light company $500 per
year each for one hundred l 200 candle
power arc lights, and the company ac-
copied the proposition by submitting
contract, it was felt by a large num-
Der of the taxpayers that the city had
made an excellent bargain. The
FREE PRESS believed so too. In pri-
vate business transactions the sue
cessful man will always be found clos
ing a bargain when he is making
by it. 1t is usually left for the fellow
who sooner or later goes into bank
ruptcy to throw a good thing over
his shoulder and content himself
with waiting for something better,
which usually fails to come. The adj
vOcacy by the FREE PRESS of the city
accepting that which it had proposed
was done with an entirely unseltish
and disinterested motive, and only be-
cause, as before stated, that it was a
splendid thing for the city.
Within the past week there seems
to have sprung up most bitter and
virulent opposition to the ac-
tion of the council. No one, or at
east no considerable number of tax
payers, deny but that the price is low
very low. The main opposition
seems to spring from the theory that
the present council, elected on the
pledge that they would use all honor
able means favoring municipal owner
ship, have no prerogative save that of
disregarding every principle of bust
ness ethics and go into debt for
plant, with bankrupt treasury be-
fore them, and bonded indebtnesS to
the limit. OF course a business man
who would assume to be guilty of such
an unbuSineSs-like act as this would
be adjudged insane. But because
party, in the excitement of pending
campaign should SO order, with con-
ditions materially different from
those now confronting us said SO, it
must be done, and this is the only eX-
cuse for the doing.
Well, let it be done. Let the sover-
eign will of the party who nominated
a candidate for mayor on that plat
form and who, by the way was not
elected, be executed to the full. Give
the people chance to vote on the
question of municipal ownership of
an electric light plant. The insight
ficant question as to where the
money is to come from with which to
pay the expense of such plant in the
event of it's adoption by the voters is
not question which should concern
this council. The next council will
take care of that.
The FREE PRESS having been ac-
cused by some of it's good friends and
by some who are not SO good, with be-
ing personally interested it seeing the
present Gas & Electric Light COM
pany secure the pending contract at
all hazards, desires to deny the soft
impeachment. 1t will not make a
cents difference with us whether the

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER II, 1896

Il Complaint long and loud goes forth
from those interested in industries with
which the horse is directly or indirectly
connected. The farmers who breed
horses suffered when electricity was
substituted for animal power on the
street railways. Now the livery stable
keeper can scarcely hold his W any
% because of the bicycle. The horse
sheer is suffering for lack of employ
ment too. 1t is n problem what all
these men will do. Undoubtedly both
the electric car and the bicycle have
come to stay. Their use will steadily
increase for a generation to come. The
only way to meet the difficulty is for the
livery stable keeper and the horseshoer
to find some other employment. This is
not impossible. An American is always
easily adaptable to new things. New
trades spring up as the old ones die. In
q little while the labor that is thrown
out will adapt itself to some new occu-
patton. In selecting the new work, that
which is most like the old will be the
n which gives most promise of sue
cess.
