Police and City Fathers.


In the report Of the proceedings OF
Council as published in last nights Ga
zette. see that one Of our honorable
"City Fathers" felt called upon to make
few remarks concerning the consistent
absence of policeman when ne is want
ed. Perhaps this is the case when that
"Father" wishes to have the law enforc-
ed against the electric railway or some
individual who is guilty Of the fsgrant
violation ola penal statute. But would
his remarks have been the same II one oil
those habitually scarce gentlemen with
brass buttons had hauled that "City
Father into the Police Court for allow
ing two inches of ice to remain for three
weeks upon the Columbus street side
walk adjoining his store? The ice has
bsen there, is there. and perslstently re-
fuses TO yacate OF its own accord. Methinks
he would have introduced an ordinance
to reduce the force. 1t is the old, old
story-a policeman will be damned if he
does. and be damned if he don't?
A LONELY FRIEND TO THE FORCE.
Oh, my One OF our councilmen OBJ,
serves similarity in helo;tering gait OF
a policeman and the proud strut OF a
turkey. Remar kable indeed How can
he notice this resemblance when the con-

never walk aroundf Do yon know, sir,
