THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The new city administration has
taken hold and at the outset notice has
been served that the republican min
ority-four aldermen-will be shown
and ask-no quarter. On the one side
are democrats-and republicans who
never vote the republican ticket-and
on the other side four straight, I'M
compromising republicans. AS the
mayor holds that under the law he is
& member of the council and has a
right Ito vote on all questions therell
be no tie vote and the four republican
members of the council will be left to
bunch" by themselves. But this
doesn't argue against a good admins
tration. The council is a fairly rep
resentative body. They are all good
citizens and it is not believed part
isanship will influence their actions
except in the matter Of appointments.
In matters political the democratic
majority will do about as the republic
cans would do if they had the mayor
and half the aldermen. There is, how
ever, some question about the right of
the mayor to vote on the confirmation
OF his own appointees and unless that
question has been determined in some
other city working under the general
law, it might be well to determine it
now.
The appointments made by Mayor
Register are, with scarcely an objec-
ton, capable and worthy citizens and
are not opposed by the republican
minority. Action on their confirma-
ton at the first meeting was opposed
however, and thus is raised the ques-
ton of the mayors right to vote fol-
confirmation of his own appoint.

1t is an old saying that "a new broom
sweeps clean" 1t is hoped that this
will be exempli1ed in the acts of the
new city administration. Spring finds
this city, like all other cities at this
time of the year-With an accumula-
ton of ashes, rubbish and filth in the
streets, alleys and yards and it is of
the greatest Importance that the an
tbcrities take immediate steps to have
all nuisances of this character re-
moved. The new board of health can
assist greatly in this matter and will
readily appreciate the Importance OF
cleanliness of the streets and alleys
as a means for the prevention of con
Jtagious diseases. The following ar
ticie on this subject in the Grand
Forks Plaindealer is SO nearly appli-
cable to this city, it is worthy of re-
production:
cit behooyes the residents of the
city to look well after the back yards
and alleys at this season of the year,
fer in a short time Or about the first
OF next week the board of health will
commence Investigating the condition
of all premises, and will see to it that
all garbage and filth of the winters
accumulation is taken a of. Not
only must the alleys and the back
yards be thoroughly cleaned, but all
cellars, coal bins, woodsheds and in
fact every place dirt could accumulate
must be cleaned. It is a city ordin-
ance that this work be done this
month. and 4 report be made showing
in just what condition each and every
house on premises IS in at that time
