GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.


that body last night the city counc
registered another failure to %transac
business. 1t is presumed that the gentle
man was unavoidably absent, II that
it was no part of a plan to indefinitely
postpone the time when the board of
aldermen can enter upon the duties they
were elected to perform. Rumor has it,
however, that a system of absentation is
to be hereafter followed to prevent a ma
jority Of the entire council from confirm
ing the nominees of the mayor. In this
way they hope to tide over the confirma-
ton exercises and enable the present in
cumbents to hold dow their several n
respective jobs indefinitely.
AS it has already been determined by
the council that no business shall be
transacted until the committees shall
have been appointed, and as the commit
tees will not be appointed in the usual
order Of things until after the nominees
Of the mayor have been confirmed, the
outlook for the public is a most cheerful
one. For some time probably7the public
will be spared the inhiction Of any local
legislation by a body whose average in
tellectuality does not apparently reach
any higher standard han to indulge a
silly schoolboy quarrel with the mayor.
Under the circumstances, the public can
reconcile itself that the danger Of legisla-
ton of any kind is reasonably remote,
and that bad conditions will be made no
worse.
With one exception, the gentlemen who
We're nominated and elected as republican
aldermen have apparently gone over to
the Clark wing of the democracy and
identified themselves with that geograph-
ical division of the human family. Hence,
they may be relied upon to hold up pub
lie business indefinitely, and stop every
wheel in the municipal machinery which
they are not permitted to grease.
While the republican party will natur-
ally regret the inexplicable circumstance
that nave led these gentlemen to abandon
its political interests, which could have
been served only by an honorable and
straightforward course of procedure in
the council chamber, Independent Of
either wing of the democracy, it feels tina,
the loss to the aldermen themselves is
greater, when measured by the public
/ judgment, than that suffered bv the ma rtx
that elected them to office. Hence, the
republicans of his city can await the out.
come of the municipal contest with
patient philosophy n resignation. Such
things cannot always be avoided. Eleven
republicans went over to the Clark de.
mocracy in the late legislative assembly
while My five have lone SO in the city
council of Butte. Under the circum-
stances the party ought to bear up brave.
~ and act as cheerful as possible.
