THE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT.
The city government inaugurated today
represents in much of its mem bership the
so frequently strange mutations of poll
tics. Elements such as have never in the
history of the city found place in the
municipal government, today are brought
into evidence II not into prominence. As
a whole the new city government is more
nearly Democratic city government
than any the town has ever known but,
withal, the atmosphere OF Goo -Gooism,
that fascinating, indefinahle something,
rervades the Council chant ber, and whst
it is and what it is to accomplish now it
has got there we are yet 10 find out. This
element lends an interest to the life and
career of the new city government that,
we are frank to admit, has not attached
TO the proceedings OF any of its predeces-
sors within our recollection, perhaps not
tant We shell, accordingly, have an
especial zest in recording fully and i'm
partially. as usual, the proceedings OF
either branch of the City Council of 1866.
Meanwhile we shall trust that the men,
bors OF the new city government be they
Republicans, Democrats or Goo Coos,
will give TO he city their best endeavor,
and we have no ooubl they will. The
city demands honest effort and efficient
service on the part Of its Representatives
and we take it that all the memters who
today have taken the oath OF office are
resolved 10 merit the approval OF the
ow.citizens when next election day

TO REUBEN X. BAKER.

DEAR CHIEF:
You have been elected to an os.ce that
is, in many respects, the most important
and honorable of the whole lot of muui-
cipal berths.
Your past carser justifies the belief that
you will perform the duties Of the Office
with satisfaction. We hope for this for
your owp.sake, because we like you and
know you to be gallant and intelligent
officer, and more for the sake of the town,
the important interests OF whose citizens
and whose good name demand that what
ever errors or mistakes be made In other
positions its police department be con-
Quoted so vigorously, honestly and ably as
to permit only the least possible criticism.
You have for your help and guidance the
example of your Immediate predecessor,
who has filed the office capably for the
unusually long term OF fifteen years.
Congratulating you on your promotion,
we trust, for your interests and the city's,
that your duties will be so well perform
ed that you also will merit and receive
the confidence Of the city government FOR
many successive terms.
We would, however, say q word OF
admonition, with the trust, however, that
it will in no wise seem to rob our re-
marks OF that graciousness which it is
our purpose to express on this occasion of
your elevation to honored Office. The
admonition is prompted by the discovery
that between the hour of your fiGtteriug
nomination in caucus and the proud
moment when you took the oath OF office
you told at some length what you were
going to do when you became chief.
Now, Mr.. Chief, don't talk at least not
before you warm up your seat. The pub
lie will find out what you are capable of
doing when you do it. Don't tell about
II in advance. Especially don't tell about
il to newspaper reporter. He will sure
ly print 1t. That's his business. Then
somebody may cut ont what he prints
and if it should go happen that you should
fail to DO all that you have said you are
going to do, you will have brought upon
yourself unnecessary embarrassment.

the back but goes at some length TO e.
plain that a police commission would be
impotent. lie moves for more public
baths and we wiil.nll wish more power
to him on that. OF the public schools
which by the way represent large part
OF the "debt" that he deplores, he says
with a better public spirit than is to be
found in his discussion of the finances
That built the schools: 1.-The popularity
OF the public schools is seen in the fact
that though there are 2s21 more children
OF the school age now in the city than
four years ago, the number not attending
school Is 335 less than at that date. Every
effort should be mado ON our part TO
maintain the high standard of excellence
for which our schools have been noted,
and nothing should be left updone TO
give our children the best education fur
nished by any city in the country"
Throughout the message We find this
things that is noted in the abstract treat
ment of the subject of public schools and
the consideration OF the "debt" that they
entail upon the community. 1t has evil
dently been something OF strain on the
natural good sense of His Honor TO keep
in mind during the writing OF his mes
sage that he was elected on the farce
comedy issue OF a wrecked, despoiled
wronged, robbed and raped town that
only the turning out of the old govern
ment and the setting up OF a new set OF
fellows in Office could save from final de-
struttion, bankruptcy and hopeless ruina-
tion. Hence we find that the Mayor, in
his opening address, lapses agreeably
from the direful sentiments that were
used as campaign material, aud seeming
to forget himself gives US the impression
that he thinks his predecessors have
turned the town over to him in fair
state OF preservation, after all. Rightly
does he say, in closing, that "the wish
OF the people OF this city, as expressed at
the last election, is fcr, an honest and
busiress-like management OF its munich
pal affairs.n We believe that that mas ever
been the wish of the people as expressed at
most of its elections and it is TO be trust
ed that Mayor McGUINNEss will succeed
as well as have his predecessors in Office
in responding to such wish. But when
the Mayor goes further to remark that
"the era OF reform and non-partissn
municipal government is upon us"
good many of our fellow citizens, we
opine, will feel compelled to remark, as
with one voice. "Nit"

a Waruinc from yyeb.ter.

He who hampers with the currency
obs labor of its bread. He panders in
deed to greedy capital, which is keen
sighted and may shift for itself, but he
beggars labor, which is honest, unsus-
pecting and too busy with the present
to calculate for the future. The pros
perity sf the working classes lives,
moves and has its being in established
credit and steady medium of payment.
All sudden changes destroy it. Honest
industry never comes in for any part of
the spoils in that scramble which takes
place when the currency of country
is disordered. Did wild schemes and
projects ever benefit the industrious? ?
Did. violent fluctuations ever do good TO
him who depends on his daily labor for
his daily bread? Certainly never. All
these things may crafty greediness for
sudden gain or the rashness of daring
speculation, but they can bring nothing
but injury and distress to the homes of
patient industry and honest labor

4 Cleveland Woman In Trouble Over He,
Matrimonial Adventures.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept 2s.-Three men,
two of them residents of this city, have
just discovered that they are all pos.
sessed of the same wife, and the third
man, Frank e Dowd, Of Defiance.
has quietly begun suit against Mrs.
g. M. Crowl, of Cleveland. Mrs. Crow]
was married July s, 1893, to
her present husband, who is street
car conductor, and they live at 1145
Payne avenue. Sunday another hus-
band turned up by the name of J. U.
Smith, a musician. He alleges that he
married the woman in 1891 and was
never divorced. Mrs. Crowl acknowl.
edges the three husbands, but says she
thought two of them were dead. The
maiden name of this much married
woman was Eliza Ann Russell
and was afterward changed to
Eberly by second marriage of her
mothers. She was born and raised in
Lenox, Ashtabula county, o. She had
children by her1ast two husbands. All
of the husbands aver that they knew
nothing of their wife's other marriages
until recently.
