HOT VORDS BEFORE THE MAYOR.
PRESIDENT JEROLOMAN ATTACKS THE OLD DOCK
BOARD AND EX-MAYOR GILROY. AND AL
DERMAN OAKLEY JUST DOpGES
CALLING HIN LIAR


CALLING HIN LIAR.
There were sharp words in the presence Of
Mayor Strong yesterday afternoon during hear
Ing on the bill empowering the Board or Alder
men 10 Investigate city departments.
Presiden, Jerolomar had wound up an impas-
stoned appeal TO the Mayor 10 sign the bill by at
lacking the former Commissioners OF Accounts
and Mayo- Gilroy for suppressing the report on
the Dock Department. Alderman Oakley. one OF
the leading Tammany members OF the Board rose
I'D in Mayor Glroy's defence and said that Presi-
dent Jeroloman did not tell the truth and asked
to have his derogatory remarks about Mayor Gil
roy stricken from the records Alderman Noonan
also got in a slap the President. and the Incl
dent occasioned a deal OF feeling. The Tammany
Aldermen say 1t had been mutually agreed on not
TO Introduce politics into the discussion OF the
bill.
The President, in his remarks addressing the
Mayor said: '"rhe former Commissioners Of Ac-
counts did a scandalous thing in not making their
report public They could not. for it told OF the
Dock Department that teemed with corruption.
The Commissioners did not even dare tell all they
knew and the report suppressed by your pre-
deccssor-by the man that sat in that chair before
you"
Alderman Oakley jumped up and said: 1T was
understood that no politics were to be introduced.
and / object TO the presidents attack on as hon
orable man as ever sat in that chair. And when
President Jeroloman says what he has. he says
that which is not true.
Alderman oakley paused. and President Jerolo-
man colored, and the Mayor looked up hastily.
Alderman Oakley continued: THAT Is strong Ian
guage but | speak conscious OF what say. and
7 ask Your Honor TO have stricken from the
records the remarks OF The president attacking our
late Mayor"
Alderman Noonan said that the language OF the
president was an insult 10 many members OF the
Hoard. and that he surprised that an attack
on Mayor Gilroy had been made. He also said
that he approved the bill.
The Mayor did not make any comment on the
that he desired to have the Board Of Aldermen
have more powers. They well qualified to
icgslAte he declared but he feared that the Civ
ing the Board power TO investigate would J.
G,c, With the Commissioners OF Accounts who
we're about TO receive 10000 TO pursue inyesti-

The BOARD would have the power TO investigate the
commissioners Of Accounts and that he was in
favor OF that. they could not investigate them
selves.

Might or Right.

I have often asked my radical friends
what is to ba done if, out Of every hun
dred enlightened voters, two-thirds will
give their votes n way, but are afraid
to fight, and the remaining third will
not only vote, but will fight, too, if the
poll goes against them. Which has,
then, the right to rule? l can tell them
which will rule. The brave and resolute
minority will rule. Plato says that if
n man was stronger than all the rest
Of mankind he would rule all the rest
of mankind. 1t must be so, because
there is no appeal. The majority must
be prepared to assert their divine right
with their right hands, or it will 20 the
way other divine rights have gone be-
fore.
l will not believe the world to have
been SO i'll constructed that there are
rights which cannot be enforced. 1t ap-
pears to mo that the true right to rule
in any nation lies with those who are
best and bravest, whether their numbers
are large or small, and three centuries
ago the best and bravest part of this
English nation had determined, though
they were but a third of it, that pope
and Spaniard should be no masters of
theirs. -Fronde in Longman's Maya.
