WHAT DID THE PEOPLE MEAN Z

There is a good deal of speculation
| just now as to what the people meant
by electing three Democratic Council
men two weeks ago. Of course, some
things are not as plain as others. 1t
is plain, to be sure, that it meant that
the people were generally dissatisfied
with public doings, and rather than
rush into public print they just voted
their sentiments.
What is agitating a lot of people is
this: Do the people desire that the
Democratic Council shall clean house
down at the city hall?
To be plain about it, do they want
a new Water Superintendent, new AS
SCISSORS, a new police force, and new
faces in all the departments just as
fast as the law will allow, or did they
just desire to hint to those who have
been doing the city's work that they
wanted them to spruce up a little, and
be more attentive to business?
DO the people want the proposition
as to enlargement of the water plant
submitted to a vote and definitely de-
termined? Do they want a Collector
who will make more determined effort
to collect taxes, and not allow so many
to escape?
Do they want Solicitor who will
more promptly respond to the express
!, ed desires of Council in the collection
7 of paving and sewer assessments
1t is the business of Councilmen to
find out, and then, in spirit of de-
votion to the public interest go ahead.
It is our observation that the peo-
pie the great mass of taxpayers
don't care a rap what the party label
Of public officials may be. If the pub
lie business is performed in way to
meet public expectation, the reward of
public approval is not withheld.
