When the city council met last Tuesday evening in regular session, tothe ordinary vision everything seemed calm and serene. But to the practical eye, one skilled in dis: cerningthia signs in the sky, there were two little clouds.'or storm cen- ten 06 the municipal horizon. like that which the clenrzvisiooed prophet of old saw as he looked out, onto the enlistees from his eyrie, on Carmel's rugg‘d hm. One of these storm centers bong over the Vpolicpvjudge. in his reputed espaéityis “reporter,” and the other ‘-,over the head of the semiannual-man- of the Third ward. It was apparently arranged that one cloud should burst at the opening of the session, and the=‘other at or near its close. each with-such ishemenoe that both victims should be-efleot’nah ly “laid out.” x. ' ' The mathematical precision :ahd stageiuess with; which the program was carried out made ita‘ pze. arranged feature 't'ooz‘vrapparent for mistake. ' i Soon after the session opened Alderman Grant arose and, in a somewhat excited manner, spoke to a question of privilege. calling at- tention to the News’ report of his recent speech in the council on the Citizens’ Association committee, pointing out what be regarded as several of its errors, and-then, tum- ing to the reporter, he said: “You misrepresented my speech, and you did it purponeiy and maliciously ” Having delivered this first art, apparently thinking that. the fnght ened reporter would surely think the “Campbells are coming” de mandod an immediate confession and apology, and sat down ' Then Mayor Cobb said: “I am fully in 8626er with Alderman Grant in his remarks Alderman Grant is not out of his wdy at all. ” Seeing thatlhe reporter neither confined, apologized; fled or wilted. Alderman Grant arose" again and said. “1 proved that he lied' and gave) him a chance to acknowledge that he lied. » I claim his exclusion from this council chamber as a dis- turber of .the peaca and an anarch- is .."I But the stubborn reporter did not ‘acknowledge or 'Ipologize. in THE SHERIDAN ROAD NEWS-LETTER. (not he was very busy just then with his fiber and his reporter’s' not!» Mdérmnn' Clampiu said: “I thinfi as the' article up ' rod in the paper. the explanation a cold appear in the paper also,” a suggestion that. was eminently hit and basins-b like. But the wicked ,and .stubboru re- pdrtor‘promisod nothing. in :fuot he said nothing during-tho whole dir’ auction, except to reply to" Mayor Cobb’s all'fb’r an apogogy. saying: “I am not a memhqr'of {Hie oofincfi; I haw? nothing to say hgre tonight? .Aldernan Grant ngain arose ;nd said: “I do not believe the owner of that paper would allow an apol ." He then referred to the m- jurioua eflecta the article in last weeks Nun might have on his character and reputation in Win- not-Ira. -Mayor Cobb. having already made one or two fruitless attempts to get the stubborn reporter to apologize or cdufes, said: “I believe the gentle man refuses to make a statement. \ I do ‘believe Alderman .Grant is per- ,fectly right, and ii the reporter can ’t report oorrectly, he should be ex- cluded from this council.” And still the reporter made no remark. Alderman Grant, . apparently see- ing the case was getting desperate, seems to. have eumm‘oned up all his energy and fire for one more and final attempt to '(m‘horse and bring to his knees the (msubdued reporter. He arose, and turning toward him,‘ said-in stem, stentorian tones: “You admit’ that you lied, don't you ‘3” The reporter did not wince or wink: Then the eagle eye of the junior miderman of- the, Second ward, L.‘ 0. Van Iii-pen perhaps recall- ing tha heroic effort of Adolvhus on the historic field of Lu‘tzeu, arose ‘and wit??? the‘fin-e vim and dash" worthy of a. better cause, said: ’\“‘I make a motion, sin. that that mfin (turning to the reportgr‘) bel emluded from this council, and if I could I would have him tarred andfeathered." ‘ ' This drastic proposal Was fol“ lowed by abrief “Caesaral” pause. when Alderman Obeé arose, say- ing: “I rise with leasure to Becend Alderman Van iper’ 3 mo: tion That man (the reporter) is ulow cur. :I think Mr. Grant has been mistepresental. ” k Alderman Obee .did not hear Mr. Grant’s origin“ 5139901123 ‘Aldermâ€"an deidson said; “ I don’t think the council can afiord to take this action. I don’t know. as yuucau do this; This council could not make a worse Hunter." Alderman Clampitt: ‘9 “No man tegarda Mr. Grant highei. thin I do. but I do not think I could vote for this motion. I don"t want any map 8130;, I uk‘Mr. Van Ripe: to (itpdraw hfs mo. tion. cent." Alderman Davidson: “There has been no trial! I believe. only Wham" Alderman Van Riper said: “ I will if- the‘ reporter will rbcaut." But he Bid not recnnt worth a May‘or Cobb: “I think thq paper (THE ans) has done this administi‘utiou injustice. The courts don‘t believe in libels. I suppose the reportér works for $2 a month. The paper should serve the mph." (That is just what it is doing and prupoees to keep at it.'â€"â€"E1'irron.) - There‘ seemed a disposition at this point to give up the fwitless attempt to ‘ bulldoze. and coerce the reporter 'as a bad job, and ,when City Clerk Finney asked how it should appear on his records, Alderman/Vat: Riper withdrew his motion. Mayon Cobb told the clerk to drop it all out and make po record. of the trmisaetion what- ever. This performance eOnsumed just 40 minutes of the valuable time of the city council. ‘ Copies of Fofmer Issue Wanted.
