City Council VS.. the People,

Olhy OOultOll Voc hIO OOplOt
Editor Leader--It is to be hoped that
every citizen of Marietta has read the
Council proceedings of last Tuesday
evening. If you have not done so, 1t
would be well that you do so, IL you
desire to see where we are drifting.
On that evening Il quote from the
LEADER a petition signed by 65 citi-
zens of the Second ward, was present
ed that body, asking that the voting
place for the Ward be located in the
Brenan building on Putnam street.
To this petition there was no pro-
test from as single citizen of The Ward,
nor an objection from any voter of the
Ward to the location, nor objection to
the petition that the signers were not
respectable and responsible citizens,
and yet in the face of all this members
of Council from other wards (for some
unexplained reason, not a member
was present from the Second ward)
not one of whom resided or voted in
the Second ward, voted the petition
down and placed the voting place on
Greene street. The people had no say
in the matter; their rights as citizens
of the ward were entirely ignored and
their petition treated with contempt.
Is 1t possible that the Council own
and control this city ,and the people
have no say whatever? If not, why
this action?
1t is told of a noted railroad mag
nate that on one occasion someone ap-
preached him and asked that certain
thing be done in regard to his road,
with the statement that the people
wished it. His answer was, so it was
stated, "the people be ID"
Sixty-five citizens of the Second
ward, without a single objection ask
ed to fix their own voting place, and
the answer was, "ycu -"
Is it not time that the people saw to
it that Councilmen were elected who
WOuIu represent lhtll, anu llOl SOlIG
clique or ring? The president CD of
the Council took occasion, so it was
stated, to remark that there was a
disposition to run the spring election
into politics, and he thought this i'm
proper. Will the president rise and
explain to an anxious public wherein
the wrong consists; or rather where
the impropriety comes in?
1t is also stated that he thought this
petition to locate a voting place on one
Of the public streets of the city a
scheme of some sort. Will he please
expose The scheme?
He then is reported as adding, "he
had in mind last week two or three
voting places, and he would name
them" and he did so, and one of the
places named by him was selected
Why was he selecting voting places
for ward in which he does not live
or vote, week ago, when that ward
had two members to make the selec-
ton? Was there any scheme in that?
Were the members of that ward in
competent to select their own voting
place that he must select it for them?
l add again, is it not time that there
was change, and that the people
have some say in municipal affairs?

How His Pretty -StenograPher Went Out

looked (oh, sorrow, to tell IT'D quite

The latter promptly produced a book

NEW ANIMAL.
It's Hide Turns Rifle Balls, and 1t Lives

|
Its Hide Turns Rifle Balls, and 1t Lives
in South America.
Natives Of the interior of Brazil have
been exciting naturalists for years
with accounts of a certain wonderful
animal, which, from their description,
had never yet been seen by civilized
man. DR.. F~lorentino Ameghino, an
Italian naturalist, who has been on
the continent pursuing researches for
a length of time, at last determined
to penetrate to the regions in which
the beast was said to have been found
and see if there was anything in it.
Ramon Lista, a Chilean, since deceas-
ed, had told the scientist of an en-
counter with an animal something of
the order described. He had come
across it in the dark, and, although he
fired point-blank at it from a point
less than five yards. his bullet made
no apparent impression. Armed with
these particulars DR.. Ameghino set out
some time last winter, and, after trav-
cling hundreds of miles into the heart
of Brazil, at last came upon the OBJ
ject Of his search. He saw the animal
three different nights before bringing
it down. The repeated manner in
which his shots did not tell convinced
him that the reports of b natives
as to the impenetrability of the ami
mails skin must have been correct, a
belief in which, after securing the
beast by a shot in the eye. and then
finding that the hide could not be pene-
trated by a Ratchet, he was more than
confirmed. The Naomylodon Listal,l
named by the doctor, partly in honor
of the Ramon Listal who first saw 1t,
and partly from its characteristics, re-
sembles more nearly than any other
animal the s~hort-tailed pangolin or
scaly ant eater. 1t is larger than the
pangolin, being some six feet in
length. The skin is more than an inch
thick, and so tough that no weapon
at the disposal of the scientist sufficed
to cut it. It's surface shows an epider-
mis-, not scaly, but covered with
coarse, reddish-gray hair an inch and
a half long, the o~ssicles being buried
in the skin like paving stones in the
street. The o~ssicles resemble those of
the fossil Mylodon, though smaller.
The pangolin. if it's traits may be as
signed to this new beast. is more a
lizard than a mammal. They have no
weapon of defense against man or the
larger animals. and are so far as is
known perfectly harmless. The skin of
the pangolin has often been known to
turn a musket ball. It's habits are noe
turnal, and it shows great timidity in
the presence of man. DR.. Ameghino
states his intention of securing speci-
mems alive for the old world zoologi-
cal gardens.

Susan b. Anthonx,s Arrest.

Susan B. Anthony announces that
she will attend the international coun-
Gil of women in London next June,
says the Philadelphia Post. Miss An
thony is nearly so years old, and this
will be her second visit abroad. Her
first was in 1883, and it was attended
by an incident which she is very fond
of relating. At that time, as now, the
motto of the m suffragists was,
mo taxation without representation"
Miss Anthony had this printed on her
envelopes and while in Berlin she
mailed a letter in one of these in
scribed covers to a friend at home.
The declaration was regarded by the
Berlin police as being contrary to law,
and she was promptly arrested. 1t re-
Quired the entire power of the Amer
lean minister and the consul general
to secure her release. There is nc
danger of such an event marring her
forthcoming visit, however, as Eng
land looks Upon all kinds of fads with
generous eyes. Miss Anthony lives
with her two maiden sisters, Mary
and Lucy, IN the old Anthony home
stead in Rochester, N. Y.

WHAT BRO. JONES SAYS.
New Dispensation.l


When Moses went down to Egypt to
release the Israelites, he did not go to

for more work. He said, let my people

more gold. The foolkiller laughs, and
Fate spins.
Under a proper system of production
and exchange, an average of two hours
labor day would produce an abund.
ance to supply all material wants. Un-
der the present system, those who do
the hardest work, never have enough.
The wage slave, when fully employed,
is insufficiently supplied with the COM
mon necessaries of life. When out of
employment, the tortures of want and
care abide with him always. The fruits
of labor instead of being placed in
storehouses for the use of those who
produce them are shipped to Europe to
pay interest on bonds and mortgages,
or turned over for the same purpose to
native plunderers who double the price,
while the workers suffer want.

MANY years ago, when our
forefathers, downtrodden and
oppressed by the tyranny of
kings, turned their backs up
on the scenes of their child
hood and their faces toward
the new world of liberty in
the west, it was with hearts
filled with rosy hopes Of peace
and plenty. Nor were they
disappointed. The hardships
of pioneer life were more than
compensated by receiving the
full results of their labor, and
happy homes sprung up as if
by magic and each new conner
was gladly welcomed as a val
liable addition to the social
circle. But with the seed of
liberty they brought the cock
lie Of usury and usurpation.
How different the scene to-
day. The new conner is
spurned, and if he succeeds in
landing a disappointment
awaits him. He finds a land
OF hunger and rags, men CON-
peting with each other for the
sake of a bare living, great
lords and syndicates usurp-
ing the right and opportuni-
ties OF the people. and dictat-
ing with the prerogative of
kings, who shall and who
shall not make a living. They
lind the once glorious haven,
OF the oppressed transformed
into a condition of monarchy
not unlike that of Europe.
The giant Of freedom has
been shorn of his strength
and manhood. The liberties
handed down by the founders
OF our country have been
turned over to the banks,
monopolists, trusts and COM
bines and are lost to the peo-
pie. America is no longer the
home of the free. Appeal to
Reason.

ONE of the neatest things as we'll as
one of the most beneficial to the state,
that was accomplished during the ses-
sion of the legislature just closed, was
the work of Senator Titus in killing a
scheme to issue SIT 900 bonds to pay
what is facetiously known as the
"Quantrell Raid Claims" Goal Oil''
Taylor, of Wichita, was at the head of
the scheme because he had So ,317.2O of
these claims upon which he desired
payment and he had strong lobby Or
gained to push it through. But Sena-
tor Titus was on the alert and when
the bill came before the senate he NOV.
ed to strike ouS the enacting clause
which in effect kills the bill. Senator
Titus is given credit of making one Of
the strongest speeches of the session on
this occasion and his motion prevailed
by large majority. Had it not been
for the keen foresight of our senator
the state would have had this immense
and unjust debt saddled on her taxpay-
ers. All honor to Senator Titus. He
has been the means of defeating more
dangerous measures and introducing
more good ones than any other mem
