It is not the purpose of TUB Bir : to
uriiniblo or find fault with the doings
t the men upon whom hnvo fallen
( he responsibility of conducting our
city aflaiis. Wo know that how well
soever any set of men would do in the
panic position , there will always bo
these who will find fault. Now wo
say , ns wo have said before , our pres
ent city fathers are doing ns well ns
they know ho\v. But wo would leave
it to any candid , unprejudiced citizen ,
who was in attendance nt last Friday's
meeting if they don't think they are
questions of the most vital import
ance. They are either not qualified
to grasp and understand or they are
Dulled by outsiders during vacation so
mucli that they forget in a measure
junt what their duties are as roprcsCil
tatives of our city. No truer words
have ever fallen in the council cham
ber than those spoken by Col. Snpp ,
und from them our city
council should have gath
ered wisdom enough to aid them
in the future on all questions in which
the public is directly interested. His
ppcecJi waa brief , but there wa.s more
nound sense in ono line of it than any
thing wo have hoard since wo have
had the honor of attending those ses
sions. The Colonel said ; ' 'You have
listened patiently to my friend Wright ,
who u hero , like myself , in the capac
ity of counsel for the parties inter
ested in the Blufl' street grade. You
are not , however , to consult the in
terests of his client , or mine. You
owe your first duty to the general
public , and in establishing this grade
you should weigh well their interests ,
and not swerve from n judgment
formed if you believe the public in
terest demands such judgment Where
u private demand conflicts with a pub
lic necessity , your duty is en the si'lo
ot the people ; but where a public de
mand can be satisfied , it should bo
done with the least inconvenience to
u private individual. " A few such
remarks cannot help being beneficial
to any body 'of men called
from. the walks of . private
business life into the council chamber
of any city.
'ho first business was calling the
roll. Five aldermen responded mak
ing a quorum.
Several bills were allowed nnd the
debit side of the account exposed to
view , showing total amount expended
ninco April 1 , ? 'J-1,50(1 ( , and n few
cents.
R. P. Wheeler , who took out n li
cense to exhibit the American flag ,
in n novel way in our city , because
the police would 'not nllow him to
make a nuisance ot it by showing the
thing to little girls nnd boys on the
ntrcota , petitioned thi council to re
fund the money back. The city got
the money , however , and will keep it
as Churchill moved to lay the petition
on the table. Fonda wanted to know
what the American ( lag game was.
Mr. Vaughan said it was a kind of
"Nowchartorherdiccoach'1 i amc nnd
was harmless. It waa a machine
with a window in each ond. You
looked in at the north end , and you
could nee J. M. Palmer and Severn I
other well-known citi/.ons , includinj
J. W. Chapman and the mayor , goinj
to the transfer on the now street
railway. Byjurniiifj the thing around
inui looking irom the name side but
through the other end , you could see
Chapman und Vauglmn riding by the
Ogdcm in a llordio coach , each hold
ing in his hand nn American flag , or
the red , white nnd blue. Mr. Fonda
ituid that it slwtihl never be allowed
on our streets , and seconded Mr.
Churcliill'H motion to lay on the
table.
Next came a complaint , from an
other gambler , who claimed that ho
paid Mayor Yaughan § 10 for a permit
to operate a game of fortune on a
vacant lot near Broadway , and had
been stopped by the police. Ho asked
the honorable council to refund the
money. The matter was laid on tlib
table. Petition of Henry Nwickhard
to open a saloon under Planter's
hall was grunted. Hoport of city
officers showed l'J2 arrests made
during the month of August.
.1. W. Moiso , acting city marshal , re
ported dog tax collected , § 40 : expressage -
pressago paid in going after the dogs ,
S35.GO ; balance on clogs in favor of
city , $ UO. This bill was referred ,
Quito a discussion was entered into
over a chloroform bill \hat Mayor
Vauglmn contracted to wo on the
man who had his hand cut oil'at the
Northwestern donot u short time ago.
Some ono claimed that the 85,000 ex
pended for the driving park was
largo enough to bo expended without
discussion , and that hereafter these
bills should bo more critical ! }
hcnnned. To bo sure it was only
cents , but ho thought the matter
nhoiild bo referred to u committee.
Horace Everett , Metcalf and Smitl
were suggested The muyor thought
i it should bo referred to Mr , Bur
roughs. It was so referred. After
few other matters of minor import
ance wore disposed , Mr. Dawsoi
jnoved the report of the citizens'com-
mittco bo laid on the table. Mr. Kel
kr seconded the motion , which was
i\ \ carried. Thus expired , on the oven
ing of the 3rd of September , A. D
1881 , during the third week of its ex
istcnco , the document that Hon. Her
new Everett , H. 11. Metculf andSpen
eer Smith gave birth to in behalf o
.Bluffs strcot , us a citizens'
committee. This report was pub
lished recently in THE BEE.
The ordinance known as the Killer
ordinance and whic settles the Bluff
street grade , so far ns the city is concerned
corned , reads :
SKCTIO.V 1. Bo it ordained by the
common council of tlio city of Coun
cil 1 Hull's ; That the grade of Pierce
street and Bluff street bo established ,
as follows : Commencing at the west
and northwest side of Willow avenue ,
( i ! ) feet above thu plane of reference ,
and at 100 feet north of Willow
street , 72 fee' , nbovo the piano of reference
orence , and ail'OO fed nbovo plane
of reference , 78 feet , and 'iOO feet
west of Willow street , 80 foot above
Die piano ot reference , and at130
feel north of Willow srect , 1MI feet
above the plane of reference , and at
( WO feet north of Willow street , ! ) ( )
Feet above the nlnno of reference , at
the junction of Pierce and Blull' , 70
Feet above the piano of reference ,
and at the junction of Picrco street
and Glen avenue , 70 feet above the
piano of reference.
Rr.c 2. That the grade herein es
Labliflhcd shall on the south side of
BlnlT street bo two feet higher than
on the opposite side of said street.
SEI. . ' { , That all ordinances or parts
of ordinances in conflict with this or-
dinancu are hereby repealed.
Mr. Churchill moved that the rules
bo suspended and the ordinance ) pass
ed to a second road ini' . Mr D.iWRon
Hccoiulcd thu motion. Goo. K. Wright
counsel for Phillips and Wallace ask
ed thu council to lay the matter ever
until the next meeting. There was no
particular necessity of rushing thiHUii-
mportant matter to a final passago.
i'ho now ordiimuco had already lifted
iis client's grade up two feet. That
was very well and lin thanked them
'or that Hinnll concession. Ho thought
perhaps his clients would bo satisfied
with the Koller.ordinanco , but they
would like a chance to look it over.
Ho was glad to have his friend Sapp
present. They deprecated a law suit
it the end of which some one would
liavo a heavy bill to pay. "Now , "
lie continued , "if the council will
: { ivo a little time the parties
can get together and arrange
matters and wave litigation. " Col.
japp said the city council had voted
: o end this matter at that meeting.
The ordinance had passed to a second
ending and under the rules it was too
ate to lay it on thn table. lie then
ave the council the advice mentioned
ibovo and retired. Uncle John Phil
ips was in the room , as was soon ap-
larpnt. Ho stopped to the rail and
aking from his pocket a piece of
taper addressed the council in behalf
of the citizens' report , ho said he
could not for the hfo of him under
stand why the council was treating
lim as they wore ; why they desired
o drive him into court to seek re-
Ircss , as they certainly would if they
lassed that ordinance. Horace Ev
irate , If. H. Motcalf and Spencer
Smith , thrco as honest , upright citi
zens as Council Bluffs contains , had
reported that Bluff's strcot would
lever make u business street. They
md ofl'pred a fair and just
: omproinisu of the matter.
'Why1 ' ho continued , "why do
ou do this ? Do you know , gentle-
nen , that John W. Phillip payn more
> orHonal tax , aside from thu firm , than
ivcry member of this council com-
jined ? I have hern in my hand u
copy of the record. I pay a personal
ax of § 025 , D8 , while you gentlemen
iltogothnr pay only § 490.1i2 ; and gen-
lemon , are you going to destroy my
irppcrty in my old ago , just to plr-asu
his man Kollur ? to enable him to gut
iirnituro out of the ba-jlo door of that
ion-coop ho i building on Broadway ?
rou never will doit'gontlemen never
never-never ! " But they did. The
Collor ordiimuco passed almost unani-
nously , after which the following resolution
elution wan passed :
Resolved. That the city grant the
iso , for thu term of fifteen years , to
T. M. Phillips , of the triangular tract
> f ground eight feet wide at the north
end and running to present street , line
at south end of Mr. Phillips' property
m the cast side of Blufl'street in said
city.
city.After
After Qua Mr , Holmes appeared on
ho ncono and Air. Wright and J. M.
1'hillips ( retired. llo\vaa not Ictok-
"ng as well us usual , having
not with nn accident at the
jiark. Ho yuvo his ouinion in
regard to the granting to n now com
pany the right to occupy our streets
'or street car purposes. Ho raid it
cannot bo granted by this city. Thu
mliimnce granting u now charter to
I. M. Palmer and others would have
no more weight than so much blank
paper This city has no right what
ever trt grant such privilege to u cor
porationofany single individual. "My
advice to yon gontlumon , " said the
city attorney , "is to tear up the peti
tion of these gentlemen and give it no
consideration whalover. If thuy want
to lay n track on our streets they have
u right to do so , nnd wend ! _ bo held
responsible for any damage to abut
ting owners. But if you gr.int this
right , having no authority under the
law , this city would bo responsible for
all damages. "
Fonda said , "That Bottles it. Wo
are bound by tlio opinion of our legal
advisoiH. " This made the mayor
smile. A member moved that it be
torn up ; another that it bo laid on
the table , Mr , Fonda remarked tluil
thu committee of the council had met
thu committee of the railway and they
Imd agreed on passing the old ordinance
nanco as nn amendment. Thu conn
cil committee did not like thu suction
requiring a vote of the council before
complaint for non-fulfillment of thu
amended ordinance , Ho believed that
both committees were satisfied with
the Holmes ordinance as amended ,
and moved that it bo adopted , Alder
man Phillips requested that the instru
ment bo handed to him. He said it
was the fust time ho had heard of it ,
Mr. Fonda said it had been before the
council for two mouths. Mr. Phillips
still insisted it was the first informa
tion ho had in regard to it , and moved
ns _ it was an ordinance of unusual
weight it be laid over until the noxl
meeting. Tin's was eaniod , and the
council adjourned to meet to-night.
BURKE "AND PINHEO.
FINE EX1III1ITIOK OK HCMBEMANSIIII' '
The last day of the races waa
grand success , like each and over )
day. To bo sure the number in nt
tendance on Saturday far exceedot
that on any previous occasion , "i
the FUCCOBS of the enterprise and the
plvaauro with which cyerbody attend
ing left the grounds at the close of
each entertainment , made the grand
affair a success from the tap of the
bell on Tuesday morning to the final
close on Saturday evening. Never
before in the history of horse racing
hnvo thu citizens of Council Binds
been furnished with nn opportunity
of seeing so many fine nnd fast horses
on a single track. Had this oxhibi-
taken place in Omaha five thousand
tickets at a dollar each would have
been purchased by the people on this
side. About the racei nnd how they
were patronized wo shall have more
to ay hereafter.
The last day of the races opened
riuspiciously. The rain of the night
before made the track all
that could bo wished for
the grand ten mile dash , the last scene
to be enacted before thu curtain fell for
the present season. Although the
people believed that thu price charged
it tlio door on prior occasions was ex
tortionate , they never stopped to con
sider this question on the a-itnrnooa of
Lhe ten mile dash between the daring
rider of the Coloradoi nnd Mrs
Buiko , of Omaha. The fourth heat
in the free-for-all race that was not
concluded Friday evening , owing to
: ho lateness of the hour , was called nt
II o'clock in the forenoon , with a
very few pcoplo to witness it. The
lorses came to time promptly. Anna
W. took the polo and led , Soiola fol-
owing to tlio quarter mile polo closo-
y. Little Sioux passed Sciola here ,
nitl'roko , nnd Sciola came up to Little
Sioux , and passed him again at the
mlf mile pole and held Anna W.
pretty hard to the three-quarter , but
it the turn Anna W. spurted ahead
mil went first under the wire , win-
ling tlie heat and the race in 2:22 : } ,
with Little Sioux 2nd , Rosa , of Wash-
ngton , 3rd , Scioln 4th , and Loafer
fitl ) . Thopursoofrorodfor thisraco was
? 500 , $250 to the first , § 130 to second
end , $70 to third , $50 to fourth.
The afternoon opened up with n dif-
'orent aspect. The teams filed through
ho main entrance so closely packed
.hat men had to bo stationed there to
ircak the jam. The spacious amphi-
licatro was filled to overflowing. It
vould bo safe to say that 10,000 poole -
) le , divided equally between Omaha
md the Binds and other surrounding
owns , were in attendance. After
waiting some time the monotony was
eliovcd by the appearance of Mrs.
lurko , accompanied by Lady Suffolk
and her attendant. They passed
lown the track nnd every eye in that
vast multitude was fastened upon the
woman who had had pluck enough to
challenge the young lady who had
ust defeated the wild rncoc of the
> rohibitory state , nnd who had won
ho golden belt of her own Colorado ,
tlrs. Burku was soon mounted for the
> no mile dnsh nnd when she rode up
lie track and passed the amphitheatre
cheer after cheer rent the air. Here
.he scene changed Miss Lizzie
1'ineo came upon the track nnd
, ho plaudits were now given to her.
Promptly nt three o'clock the riders
were informed thnt they must take
heir positions with Mrs. Burlco on
, ho outside for the first race on the
card ; purse $75 $50 to first and $25
o second. Mrs. Burke was dressed
n n riding habit of dark-blue , with
cap to match ; Miss Lizzie Pinnco in
u habit of the same color with a gcn-
ileman's cap. A heavy white belt
encircled her waist. At the word go
Miss Pinnoo took the lead nnd kept it
; o the end of the race , winning very
easily in 2:02. : . Miss Minnie Pinnco
nt this juncture nppeared on the
rack accompanied by her mother ,
md wearing upon her arm a beautiful
loral wreath , composed of geraniums ,
ttuddod with verbenas of every hue
md color , for the nock /'Sorrel
Dan , " and a bouquet of flowers of n
pyramid shape , tor her sister , who ,
: emporarily nt least , had emptied
Mrs. IJurko of some of her conceit.
The next-race wan the much talked of
one between Mias Minnie Pinnco nnd
MTH. Burke , ten miles , for a purse of
T,000. Miss Puineo entered Stock
ing for the first nnd sixth miles : Bis-
narck for the second and aoventh ;
Sorrel Dan for thn third and eighth ,
Smiler for the fourth nnd ninth , and
lim Scott for the fifth and tenth.
Mrs. Burke , Petrcede , for first nnd
sixth , Cousin Kate for second
nnd seventh Boston , third nnd
eighth , Nell , fourth and ninth ,
ami Resumption , for fifth and tenth.
At this juncture a squall struck up ,
and it seemed for a while ns if the
.lay's sport was to come to nn nnplcas-
int consummation. For porno reason
> r other Miss Minnie J iiinco was
: akon unwell , nnd it was BOOH noised
ibout that her sister , n novice in the
profession , was to bo substituted in
liurstendnotwithstandingMia. Buiko
md challenged Sly H Minnie. It was
IUT courage and pluck in making the
challenge that stimulated her friends ,
md to wittier * with what succors she
met thu party challenged , thousands
of spectators purchased their tickets.
Mrs. Bnrko , uooing the position that
this change placed her in , declared
that she would not ridu thu little one.
If Miss Minnie Pinnco did not rule
tier , she would not ridu. The crowd
in thu amphitheatre cried , "Good for
Mrs. Burke ; she is right , " and do-
innmled gate money. Sirs. Burke
continued : "If Mr. Pinnoo will take
the stand and make the public ac
knowledgement that hu diiru not
rule me with his older daugh
ter , I will ridu the litllo one , "
Mr , Pinneo stopped upon the phi
form of the judges' stand nnd said :
"Mrs. Burke desires mo to nay that 1
am afraid to have my oldest daughter
ride against her in this race. I wish
to say 1 am afraid for the following
reasons : My oldest daughter has been
under the care of two of thu best phys
icians in Colorado and is declared
by them incapablu of Inking part in
the rnco. I will s.ay that my oldest
daughter will.ride Mrs , Burke or uuv
other woman in America on any track
away from thuir immediate homo.
Col. Smythu of Onmlia , who is reluc
tant nlwuyu ill making speeches ) , came
forward and in behalf of Mrs. Burke
said : "Mrs. Burke drsires mete siy
she challenged Miss Minnie Pinneo to
ride a tcn-milu race for a certain sum
of money and on this track to-day.
Now Mr. Pinnoo doairea to Bubitiluto
his youngest daughter to which Mrs.
Burke very properly objects. But
she wishes it understood that _ she is
ready to ridu Miss Miaa Minnie Pin
nco for any sum from $5,0111) ) to u mil
lion for any distance i/W > wants. "
This speech settled Mrs , Burke and
she remarked thnt after Smythe hail
said that she would ride the little
ono nnd the contestants prepared
Miss Pinneo took the pole at thW ird
go nnd thf great * . mile dash wiis
begun , Ilcforo the first onc-lnlf of
the first mile was reached , Mrs.
Burke \\M about one-sixteenth of a
milo ahead of Miss Pinnco. She made
handsmno dash nnd wns at the
three-quarter stake of tlo | first milo
when Miss Pinneo reached the one-
half anil ucnt first under ( hu wire ,
making the first milo in 1:50. : By
the time Miss Pinnco was fairly
mounted for the second mile .Mrs
Burke had reached the one-half milo
polo on the second , and kept the same
distance between the two until she
reached tin1 wire , going under on her
second ui'Io in 2:00. : When Miss
Pinnco had mounted for her second
mile Mrs Burke was nt the one-half
mile pole mi her third nnd still widen
ing the cap between them. She
reached her third mile in 1:58. : Miss
Pinnco mounted for her third mile
when Mrs. Burku had reached nearly
the three-quarter polo of her fourth.
On this lomid Mis ? Pinnoo gained
one-fourth of a milo , nnd when Mrs.
Burke wuiit under the wire on her
third milo Miss Pinnoo wnsnt the
three-quarter polo on her third. Miss
Pinnco was some time in changing
horses anil by the time she waa mount
ed for her fourth milo Mrs. I lurk o
wns pasxiiiir the one-half milo polo of
her fourtli , nnd went under thu wire
when Miss Pinneo wan at the one-
hnlf mile pule of her fourth. Wlien
Miss Pinneo reached the vviro on her
fourtli Mrs. Burku wns at the three-
quarter milo polo on her fifth
md mounted for her sixth dash , when
Miss Pinneo reached the wire On her
fourth , making at this juncture just
ono milo between the two. Those
P'sitions were held and about the
snnio distance maintained between the
ladies until Mrs. Burke came down
the Home-stretch of her eighth mile
Miss Pinnoo was at the three-quarter
polo of her seventh , making nt this
time a milo nnd one-quarter between
thorn. On her ninth milo Mrs. Burke
crowded up to Pinnco a HHlo on her
eighth , and went under the wire on
her tenth wjioli Miss Pinnco was at
the three-quarter polo of her eighth ,
winning the race in 23 minutes and
10 seconds.

Of course it would bo impossible to
loll what the result would Imvu boon
f Miss Minnie Pinnco had ridden in
stead of her sister , Miss Lizzie ; but
wo are of the opinion , with a stronger
woman to handle the same hoisej ,
Mrs. Burktf would have boon put to
"icr mottle. Still , wo bolicvo she
would have won the raco. Mrs. Burke
does not sit upon a hprsu ns n jockey ,
but as a lady. She is n splendid fig
ure in the saddle , ancl her manner is
such that she at once gets the crowd
in her favor. How they arranged the
proceeds of Saturday's exhibition we
: ire not advised ; but should say that
it should go _ into the exchequer of
the association. The management of
fered no prize for n rauo between Mrs.
Burke and Miss Minnie Pinneo. Sirs.
Burke challenged Alias Minnie for n 10
milo race for § 5,000 , engaged the
Council Bluffs track for the occasion ,
paying the management twenty-five
pur cent , of the gate nnd amphitheatre
money. This race attd 1L bets were
declared off , nnd Miss Lizzio , in order
that thu whole- affair might not bo
considered a failure , offered to rido.
These ladies ought io bo remunerated
for their entertainment , nnd the gate
money go to the park association.
Any other disposition of the funds
would end tlio affair with n grand
swindle.
