Mayor Fred Busse at the meet
ing of the city council Monday
evening, appointed the following
new city officials, and there does
not seem to be an Irish-American
nor an Afro-American in this
small bunch. H. s. Dietrich,
John Minwegen and E. Orris
Hart members of the local board
of improvements; Paul Redieske.
deputy commissioner of public
works; John HIGHLANDER, city
sealer. Col. Edward H. Wright
wanted to practice with that job,
but he was not in it when it came
to show down.
Mayor Busse in his effort to
build up his new political ma
chine, has, in bullheaded man.
ner demanded that nine or ten
members of the board of educa-
ton step aside before their terms
expire, so that he can fill their
places with henchmen of his own
selection. John ]. Hayes, and his
associates on the board are per-
fectly justified in carrying the
fight into the courts to settle the
question for once and for all time
to come whether or not Mayor
Busse can dismiss the members
of the board of education in such
a rough handed method.
Hon. H. w. Barrett, city coun-
Gilman of Orange, N. J., and Gen.
Manager of The Metropolitan
Mercantile & Realty Co., of New
York, spent the week in our city
on business for his company. Mr..
Barrett represents a large and
prosperous business institution
and his expense account is I'M
limited, but he differs from the
Wizard of Tuskegee in that if he
cannot find a suitable Colored
hotel at which to stop, he has his
advance agent or secretary find
good boarding house, conducted
by one of his own race with which
to spend his money and advice"
Because of protest registered
with Mayor A. c. Harper, of Los

been issued to the police depart

certain signs in saloons and res
taurants reading, "Colored trade
not desired" and 'fColored peo-
pie will not be served" The ac-
ton of the mayor was not official
ly made a part of the municipal
business, but it is said a failure
to comply with the request of the
police department will result in
the revocation of 1icenses.-Ex.
