AS TO COUNCIL METHODS.

Councilman Fernstorm was shameless
enough to say in the session Of Monday
evening, referring to the caucus conclu-
sion OF the majority: 1T is the first
time In the history OF this city that the
citys business has been done behind
locked doors. and as a member of this
Council l protest against It,"
And yet II was an open session OF the
Council in which the business was be-
Ing transacted Clearly, however, Mr.
Fernstrom did not refer TO that fact,
but 10 the report in the evening pa
pers," that there had been a caucus of
the majority, at which certain conclu-
sions had been arrived at. So constru-
ing the remarks, they were still errone-
Gus. and known by the speaker to be
absolutely so. For. In the cabal of
which he was the head and front for
eight to prepare their programme be-
forehand secretly, and then push 1t
through the Council. The difference be-
tween the two methods is that I'm the
case Of Monday night, it was known
that a caucus had been held, while un-
der the Fernstrom cabal rule, not only
was the preparation secret. but 1t was
also a secret that there had been any
preparation, until the effect OF II was
seen.
Again during the last administra ton,
whenever anything important was
afoot, whenever there was a peculiarly
atrocious public outrage, to commit.
the programme WAS cut and dried be-
forehand. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low, OF course, that the Councilmen
prepared the programme, for in the spe-
cial public robbery that was involved in
the extension OF the light and railway
franchise, the proba ability Is that the
matter was handed down from the
headquarters at the Beehive. already
prepared. But the secrecy OF 1t all was
absolute. The declaration TO the con-
trary is we'll known by everybody to be
untrue.
