'—,-,~«~,_5:' i COUNCIL BLUFFS. Record of Events on the East| Side of the Missouri. To Be a City of the First Class or Not to Be. Other News of Genoral Interest to the People. CHANGE IN CHARTER, THE QUESTION OF WHAT 18 TO BE DONE ABOUT IT, On the 5d of October the voters of this city will be called upon to choose Which will ter or the new? between governments. we have, the old cha This is no party issue, and a man would be less than a man if he allowed the interest of vither party to swerve him from his duty. To start with, we have the fact before us that all cities of any importance in Towa have in- corporated themselves under the new The change would at once ainly hift us mto the rank of the first citics ot the state. Our city council would not work under a shad- ow, a8 they are now often compelled to do in deciding important questions of law. The judiciary committee would have the tables of well set tled law to guide them, mdependent of the advice of a city attorn who might be mistaken, howsoever vyer he might prove te be. law Imintx governing the operation of citica of the first class is 8o well' settled, there would be with the proper construction of them, no reason for going astray, The city would not be loaded down with injunction suits. There would be 5o question what tho powers of each branch of our government wero, and haying the ‘‘lamp of « experience to guide them"” an honest council, such as we believe we have to-day, would need tho advice neither of mayor noroutsider, They would know their duty, and knowing would per- foxm. Some claim that it places more power in the hands of the mayor, and therc is no question yet; better give our mayor power than have him usurp powers not granted. Again it will stand tho business of this city in hand to go to the polls at our annual elections and select a man whoimn they know to be both capable and honest. The business men of this city have the balance of power in their hands and it would be only when they remained away through indifterence that an incapable and dishonest man could buy himself into the ofiice. Others claim that the city would be crippled inits power of raising funds for general improvements. This is in a measure true, nodoubt. Thethirty mills levy that was authorized to help Keokuk out of her. financial embar- rassment will apply - to this city until the next state census is taken in 1885, and up to that date the ity council can levy a thity mili tax for general city purposes which they could not do if we pub our city under a new charter. 'i'lll! city of Keokuk got heavily in debt, aud went into bankruptoy, Her creditors finally got together 2nd, as a compro- mise, agreed to take twenty cents on the dollar in the settlement of their claims, provided the cash was forth- coming. It was found that could the city be allowed to levy a tax of thirty m'\lflll on the dollar, of their valuation, this amount could be paid and the city relieved from the financial cloud that hung over it. They went to the @neral assembly for a way ont of their difliculty. That body was dis- posed to grant the reliof " passing a law allowing tgu authorities of Keokuk to levy a thirty mills tax, but as no specinl log- islation could be indulged in, they made the law applicable to all cities of not more than 15,000 inhabitants at the time the last census was tuken, in 1875, This enactment, of course, brought our city under the ‘‘high" tax law, and so long as we were less than 15,000 we needed the tax. But as the city is growing very rapidly and our valuation increasing materially, it would seem thap by next year, with a just assessment, the amount we would be allowed under the new charter would be ample for general city pur- poses. al AS TO NHOT, Soon the eatizens ‘of Council Blulls will hear the shot rattle by the thou- sands of tons, and it will sound good in their cars. The excavation for the foundation of our mammoth shot man- ufactory las been completed and soon Wiekham Brothers will make the brick aud mortar fly, and it won't bo a gréat while Lefore we shall see Coun- cil Blulls **shot” all over the country. JULIA A, TRIPLET'S DEATI, The dark shadow of death has en- tered uite of our ecity schools, kept by Miss Flickenger, and taken one of its bright and promising pupils, Miss Julia A, Triplet, daughter of Themas Triplet, of Hazel Dell, died in this city last Sunday, at the residence of B.” N, Bpringer, of brain trouble, paper in this vicinity, 1 believe you will allow one space to say a few ;\\tmlq in regard to the coming elec- tion, There is no use denying the fact that T am a democrat, but as the editor of {The Globe is a candidate for | ropresentative on our ticket it would | hardly be consistent for me to ask him {to publish an article in his favor, Hence I ask you to publish my com- munication. It is in favor of the wholo ticket, but particularly for Mr. Morgan. He has lheen a lifelong democrat, an entor- prising citizen, and has labored hard for the success of the party for years If elected to the position for which he has been nominated, there is no doubt but what it would prove a credit to Council Bluffs and to Western Town. Being acquainted with all the leading men the state of both part he would have every opportunity to secure legis- lation beneficial to the western part of the state. Of our connty ticket it is useless for me to speak, as the men nominated on both tickets are selected from the best men in the county, and to all, having the largest circula- tion, I believe you will publish this. Respectfully, A DEMOCRAT, THE BLUFFS IN RRIEF, Weaver's speech reminded us of the colored girl who applied for work at a | New England cotton mill: ““Well, Massa, T'se a little green, offel brack; but, Massa, I'se fust class Weaver.” The district court at Glenwood con- venes Tuesday. There will be soveral important cases tried, including the state of Towa vs. Christian Pittman, for the killing of Jacob Maison, as e claims, n self defence.

New York Sun, West Thirtieth street kept by Charles Lloyd, a veteran sporting man, the fighting dog Pilot in the training| lot is owned by Llo, who has personal charge of his t ing. When the reporter called at the just returning from a *‘sweating tramp”’ in Central park. Pilot was covered with heavy flannels, his neck mufiled with a thick flannel hood. Lloyd, better known as ““Cockney Charley,” is, perhaps, the most expe- rienced dog fancier in the world. He is a natiye of England, and is well in- formed in the breeding ot fighting dogs. He took Pilot into a rocm and stripped off the heavy flannels. He then went to work rubbing the dog down with rough towels and sponges, After half an hour's vigerous rubbin, the dog was bathed with hot wateranc liniment. Lloyd then laid a rough cloth over his body and covered him up for fifteen minutes. The dog seemed to enjoy it, showing no signs of uneasiness. Lloyd then called Pilot up. As he rose his muscles bulged out like bunches of whip-cord. “What do you think of that for condition ?” Lluyd asked. “He weighs only twenty-six pounds. You can see that T have made him work, Look at him ! Ain’t he in fine condi- tion 2" In answer to questions as to the conditions of the match, Lloyd said: ““The fight has been arranged to come off in the third week of October. Pilot's opponent is Kreiger's white dog Crib, of Louisville, Ky. 1t is to boa square scratch in turn fight at twenty-eight pounds, according to New York rules, for €1,000 a side.
