new CITY COUNCIL HAS TAKEN HOLD
Democrats Among Aldermen Made
BY Officers in Annual Reports

A large number of spectators as
sembIed in the council chamber last
evening to witness the transition
from the old council to the new. All
members; both old and new, were
present.
The retiring aldermen were William
Wilkens. First ward; McCleIland Sny-
der, Second; F. A. Andrews. Third: y.
j. ID. MoeIler. Fourth. and F. \. Rob
bins. Fifth, and those who took their
respective places were Frank w.
Blochlinger. Charles a. Naab, Otto H..
Birkel, George w. McCaskrin and
William Trefz. William Kennedy and
y. G. Anderson were reelected.
The retiring of the old members
and the seating OF the new was not
marked by any striking incidents. be-
ing rather more uneventful than its
Importance deserved as marking the
end of absolute republican rule in the
city by the infusion of four demo-
Gratis into the Legislative body.
Old Council Finishes
The change was made after the
greater part of the business of the
report of the health department for
the year had just been read by DIR.
Joseph DeSiIva. On motion of Aid.
Gall rising vote of thanks to- retir-
ing members was taken and then Aid.
Anderson moved to adjourn sine die.
About three minutes were required
for the old members to vacate their
chairs and the new ones to take them.
Aids. Trefz and Birkel were remem-
bcred by their friends with flowers.

nations and bouquet of roses. Aid.
Birkel was handed magnificent bou-
quet made up of several varieties of
flowers. After the call To order May
or Knox read his annual message and
the new aldermen had opportunity to
vote on one or two minor matters.
The early part of the session was
taken up with routine matters, in
Guiding the passage of an unusually
long payroll ordinance. \ bill from
DR.. +. J. Myers for SIS for profess
siOnaI services i'm the attendance of

referred to the park committee of the
new council. Then the reports of the
city officers were read by City Clerk

Use of Levee to he Investigated.
The most important matter brought
before the attention of the new-coun-
ell was a resolution presented by Aid.
Anderson requesting the license and
markets committee to investigate the
use that the Empire Coal d. Coke com
pany is making of the portion of the
levee at the north end of East Seven
teenth street set aside by the council
for its use. The reason for the pre-
sentation of the resolution, the alder
man explained, was that it was re-
ported from some sources that the
company has been using more of the
levce than was originally granted and
also in consideration of the fact that
the company is not paying the license
other concerns are charged for the
use of portion of the icvee. The
resolution was adopted.

Charles Hastings. chief of the fire

dom from serious fires in the city

the cause for il TO the care exercised
by citizens in prevention OF the ac-
cumulation of rubbish or its removal

employed i'm the department.. one

comends that at least one other man
be added, calling attention to the
fact that it is necessary in the case
of fire for the members of the sub
stations to depend upon the help "f

establishing of another hose COM

The need for an improved fire alarm

and the country experienced the

Does any sane person believe
that in view of these recent re-
cords the American people are
going to take chances? Does
anyone believe that the people
Of this country.are anxious tor q
change, are tired Of prosperity
and want depression, are weary
of work and desire idleness ac-
companied by abject want, con-
slider land values too high and
want them depressed, feel that
money is too plentiful and want

believe thai the time has come
when the American people will
entrust the making of tariffs to
the democrats? To believe so is
to assert that the American peo-
pie are bereft Of common sense.

WANTED---AN ISSUE.

The democrats have become
CONVINCED that their campaign
on the Philippine question has
fallen fiat and that they cannot
carry the country on that issue.
They are now turning with a
vain hope to ward the tariff
question and the trusts. On the
latter it is difficult to see how
they can make progress. All
the laws against trusts on the
statute books have been placed
there by the republicans. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is at present vig-
orously attempting to enforce
those laws. The democrats have
done nothing themselves to curb
these monopolies. They cannot
fool the people on that score.
And their chance of winnin g
votes on the tariff question is
still more remote. The memory
of the american people is pro-
verbal short, but not so short
as that The people remember
distinctly the nature of the
times under the democratic brand
of tariff reform. They remember
the closed mills, the low prices,
the soup houses, the Coxey
armies. And they remember
that so soon as the republicans
went into power and enacted
their style of tariff wheels began
again to revolve, fires were
again lighted in the furnaces,
wages began to rise, prices stiff
ened, idle men were unknown
