CITY DIRECTORY

Arthur Langdon and James Fl
O'Melia, both OF Rhinelander, are ia
the city this week for the North
western Directory company Of Prairie
du CHEN. They wish to get up a
city directory of Grand Rapids, il
enough advertising will be subscribed
for the book. This being the time
when the streets in the city are being
named, the book they wish to put
out would be fine thing, especially
for the new free delivery service soon
to come. They report that although
some Of the city people thought the
town too small to support directory,
they are having fairly good success SO
far with the project. An accurate
directory Of the city would be good
thing, and we hope will be made.

II seems a little strange that Nan
Patterson has been unable to get
bail, considering the fact that there
is no evidence against her except cir
cumstantlal. and that appears to be
rather weak. District Attorney Je-
rome seems to be little hard on
the woman. The law presumes she is
innocent until she is proven guilty,
and she could easily give a bond that
would be a reasonable guarantee of
her appearance to answer the charge
when the case came to trial. To re-
quire a person the law presumes Is
innocent to remain in humiliating
confinement when there is no appar-
ent reason for it, seems ungallant,

Case.

Although there were two felony
eases on the police court docket this
morning, the star case was that
against Barney Mansfield and his
wife Maude Mansfield, aged colored
people residing on the south side,
who engaged in a fight yesterday af-
ternoon.
Both were pretty badly used up
and looked like they had been
through a threshing machine. The
man had his head tied up and
scalds on his face smearei with
grease while the wife had badly
swollen eye. No one saw the fight
but the two furnished testimony
enough to satisfy the court.

The case against Jim Winfield.
colored, charged with cutting
"snake" Wade, colorel, was tried
and the defendant held in two cases
for malicious cutting.
The evidence developed a very
complicated case. II seems that Win
field lives in the same house in Hoff-
man alley with Alkaline Morton and
her daughter Allie Morton. The
latter was drunk and the mother
threatened to whip her when Win
field interfered. Wade tried to get
Winfield out of the house. acting as
peace maker. when Winfield slashed
him. The daughter swore in court
that two men. +. and w. Minor,
struck Winfield but the Minors
swore they didn't, and the court is
weighing the matter of issuing a
false swearing warrant against the
Morton woman.
W. Cowen. a shanty ,oater, was
given a continuance. He is charged
with stealing corn of the Illinois
shore opposite Livingston Point.
John Benton. colored. was fined
$50 and costs for breach of the

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

The board of aldermen meets to-
night TO reorganize. Failure to reor-
ganize will mean suspension of leg
islation, and inability to allow sala-
ries, or to transact public business
For this reason it is hoped there will
be- no deadlock,
Half OF this board consists of part
o. last years administration, how
ever. and it is up to. them to prevent
a deadlock. The Yeiser administra-
ton has control of the lower board
and there is no reason 1t should
have control of both, especially as it
will be unable to get control of both
IL the Republicans stick together.
The November election showed
that the people do not approve of
the administration management of
the city. as all of the administration
who sought Endorsement were de-
foated.
Therefore the Democrats cannot
calm the right to elect the presid-
ing officer of the board of aldermen
by reason of their efficiency, or by
reason of public approval; and they
cannot get il by reason of votes, for
they haven't the votes. As a move in
the interest Of much abused pub
lac, the Republican members canno.
do better than to stand up for their
rights, and demand the presidency
OF the upper board.
If the Democrats, arbitrarily and
contrary to law. attempt 10 keep the
last chairman in office then the -four
Republicans can block everything by
refusing to concur in anything the
four Democrats do. The charter says
that the presidents of the boards
shall hold for one year and gives
them the right To hold no longer.
There is now no chairman, because
the term. expired with the close OF
the year, and new one must be
elected.
The best and only suggestion we
desire to make to the Republican
members is TO stand up for their
rights. and the rights of the people
who elected them.
