. " end manager of the Chicago & .North

lieved they would not como to any

carriage , wby the committee who went
! to Chicago and also road the contract.
Ho reported that they had ordered
l.OOQ feet of new 2A inch hose from
Sbhoca Falls , Now York. Thu report
was received and concurred in.
Mr. Dawson recommended the fit
ting up thu Blulls City hose cart
- ' - iding ! and keeping the old steamer
there : also the construction of a new
building on the city lot on Main street
for the use of the new steamer.
Mr. Churchill stated that live-eighths
of the taxes of Council Blulls were paid
by citizens owning property south
of Broadway. That in his opinion the
now steamer should bo placed whore
it would oiler the best protection for
all this property.
Mr , Bookman being present at this
juncture took a hand. Ho said that
the eastern portion of thu city was Uo-
teruuiiod to push him and Ins neigh
bors over to Oinuhu for
NUB I'llOTKCTIOtf ,
( "a very poor place. " ) At his own
expense ho had purchased a force
pump and unless the council located
the now steamer somewhere near his
house ho would smash thu pump and
1 lot the house take care of itself , Ho
made considerable of a period with
his list on the rail and retired.
Mr. Bpotman thought a desirable
accommodation for the now steamer
could bo procured from the county
without qoing to the expense of built' '
ing. The matter of loc.Uing th
steamer was deferred until the nox
meeting.

ing fees , bo turned over to the cit ;
treasurer.
A. T. Ellowcll made his report
showing cash on hand , $4,8 ( > ! ) .08.
After transacting some few otho
minor matters , the regular business o
the session was concluded , when
AI.DKUMAN DAWHON
offered the following resolution :
llcsolvod , By the council of the
city of Council Blulls , that the city ut
Lorney and committee of three pro
cced immediately to take such stops
as are neccasary to procure the righl

nlmll have full power to audit all bids
or work done with the city and
county monuy , nnd the city engineer
will aid said committee in procuring
ight of way , and setting grade stakes
or said leveo.
Andy Graham wished to bo beard
> oloro this resolution was acted upon ,
Io stated that tliu money appropri-
ted by the county was at the solid-
ation of Mr. Motcnlf and himself ;
hat they had pledged their word that
ho money should be judiciouly ex-
> oiided ; that the county board had
NO FAITH
n n levcp 8 foot wide on the top.
'hoy believed that a stronger levee
hould bo constructed , to bo not loss
han 1C feet across the top. They
wore willing that the route marked
9ut by the II. P , engineer should bo
ollowod , but would render no assiat-
nco unless it was 10 feet wide at the
op and 1 foot higher than the U. P.
urvey.
There seemed to spring up a misun-
crstanding at once between the
lembors of the board of trade pros-
nt Andy Graham , H. II. Motcalf ,
nd Dr. McKutio. The mayor and
ouncil souinod to think that the
oard through these representatives

hem into handing over into their
lands the 2,000 appropriated by the
ity for the purpose. The lity council
oliovo that as the city must father
bo lovco after U is built , keep it in
opair and bo responsible for all dam-
go , that the name should bo con
ducted under the direction of the
ity. They were willing , however , to
How ono member from the board of
rado to hold and handle the money.
Mr. Motcalf said that the council
ertainly misunderstood his position ,
io was not around hunting a job to
audio § 2,000 of any man's money.
10 wanted nothing whatever to do
vith the 82,000
ONLY HO 1'AH
is ho had given his word to see that it
vith the money appropriated by the
ity , wont into the levee. Why the
ounty board made this u condition ho
ould not say. Ho then explained
liat the county did not furnish the
nah , but 10 per cent notes , and that
. J. Brown , a man in whom the
ounty board had confidence , had not
nly agreed to take the paper at
ar but to superintend the construe-
ion of the levee without money or
ivithout price , provided they came to
omo understanding at once.
Andy Graham said that ' if the city
ouncil wore ageing to wuk'o up and
iolp the board oftradu ( it was time
liey were about it. Mr. Brown had
ery generously offered his services
ratia , provided they acted at
nco. The work lied out for this
vll could bo done in three weeks , nnd
e wanted the council to net at once
o that Mr. Blown could

londuy , to make the dirt fly onTucs-
ay. Dr. MoKuuu made u splendid
lioooli , defering the position of the
oard of trade in the matter ,
'hat the board hud no desire
p usurp the powers of the city coun-
il. They wore after no glory in thiH
usinoss. They were interested ns
ilizona in getting the levee construct-
11 in the soonest possible nuiniKjr. In
loquont and well chosen words ho
rgod the council to act in the matter
t onco.
Mayor Vaughan had sot still until
ow , when ho arose and gave the
oard of trade u little lecture. Ho said
t was no use for the city council to
wear the mask any longer , and ho was
oing to pull it off. Ho
cached over the desk in "imi-
ation of pulling on"n mask. "
'This city council , gentlemen , think
1ml you are trying to run the busi-
ess of this city ; that you look upon
his.august bQily as not capable with-
ut you , and of constructing n levee
r of expending the city's money ,
YOU WANT ALL TIIK OLORY.
So far as your procuring the money
rom the county , it is simply a mis-
-ako. That money came because- the
igh floods last spring drove people
rom their homes on the bottoms
ito the county court house
or the board of supervisors to food
nd clothe , Talk about your procur-
ig this money. Wo can compel theme
o pay it whether they wish to or not.
Vo , the city council and myself , ask
o odds from anybody. Wo propose
to build this levee withont the nssis
tanco of any money that is not givci
directly to the council to bo cxpcndm
by thorn. Thin lovco wilt not belon ;

T/io / members of the board , of trad
retired with disgust. There wai a
calm for a moment , when an alder
man ofl'orcd the following amondmon
to Mr. Dawaon's resolution :
RcHolvcd , That J. J. Brown bo
and is hereby authorized , to procee <

The Dawnon resolution as amcndot
was unanimously adopted. The mayo
appointed as that committee the com

At the suggestion of Mayo

and adjourned ,
Mob Vlolonos.
The mayor and city council before
entering upon their several official po
Bilious , as the servants of n trusting
constituency , each took upon himsel
nnd his conscience a most solemn oh
ligation and oath , for the faithful por-
fonnimco and keeping of which , they
each , with uplifted hand , promised ,
vowed , and swore before Almighty
God.
God.Tho
The state enacted that they shouk
take thut Holomn oath before they
could perform oi.o legal 01
official net. This perquisite was.
deemed essential by the highest legis
lation authority of the state , upon
the theory that men will bo bound by
their solemn oaths , when nothing else
will bind them. Practice has demon
strated the verity of this thcc ry as n
rule , although frequent lamentable
exceptions to that rule are not want
ing
That oath , as solemn and as con-
icienco binding as it is possible for a.
mman being to tnko or charge his
soul with the keeping , called God to
witness the fact that they and each
of them would support the constitu-
ion of the United States and of
he state of Iowa , and faithfully por-
brm their several duties under the
state made for their guide and direc
tion ,
Ilavo they been bound by or kept
.his most solemn of all earthly obliga
tions ?
The votes east at an election held in
.his city on the 3d hist , were cortfled
up to the city council from the several
election precincts by members of this
council , who were judges of said olec-
ion.
ion.This
This election was presided
over , the votes received , count-
oa , tallied and certified by
nembors of the city council under an
oath as oflicora and judges of thatelec-
ion. They certified under oath that
, here were a majority of 257 votes
cast at that election in favor of aban
doning the old city charter.
Section 437 of the code , in express
orms provides that the city council
'shall ' ( not may ) canvass the same and
leclaro the result which shall bo en
ured on the journal. "
Section 438 , with equal emphasis ,
irovidos "if a majority of the votes
iast at such election be in favor of the
abandonment of thu charter , the
council shall immediately call u
ipecinl election for the election of of-
icors for such corporation according
o its class. "
The duties of those officers , ns above
iolinod nnd so explicitly marked out ,
were the express duties they and each
of thorn so solemnly swore they would
lanh do and perform. They know
his when they took the oath. They
enow it now. They cannot plead ig-
mrance and at the same time chim
ntolligenco. They did not 'tako on
> ath to decide the legality or illoguli-
y of that election. They are not ju-
jcinl officers. There is no law giving
liom any judicial functions whatever
n rospoot to that matter.
Moreover , the supreme court has
ecided that they have no "authority
t discretion but to count the vote
nd declare the result. " They know
when they refused to canvass that
oto that they had
NO AUTJIOIIiry IN LAW ,
lorals , religion , or their oaths so 'to '
do. They know that their oaths ro-
inired them to count that voto. They
mow that the law required them to
ount that voto. They know that
hey had no authority to pass upon
cgal questions in respect to that mut
er.
They had no more authority under
heir onths and the law they were
worn to support , to refuse , .or oven
elny , the counting of that vote , than
hey had to stud' the ballot boxes
vith tickets " "
"against abandonment ,
r to form into a lawless mob nnd by
orce break up the election , and in
hat wny defeat the will of the people.
Thoru is the same llconso for the
no us the other. There is no legal
iconso or authority for either. The
no is just ns respectable and respect-
ul as the other. The latter mode of
efeating the popular will has this to
ay in its favor : The outrages upon
ho election franchise may not boone
ono under oath. In the former mode
10 outrage is perpetrated under an
ath. Both modes of procedure are
'twin relics" of usurpation , violence
md wrong. Both lead to the same
novitablo , doplorablclond. a denial
f the right of the people peacibly to
ecido by ballotjtheir choice or will in
ny public matter. The ono OR much

iplo of all republican form of gov
rninont the majority * rule. The
no as much ns the other exemplifies
nd verities thut other axiom , "Whoro
yrants rule the people do mourn. "
They tell us "when you got an or-
or of court wo will count the votes
mt not bofpro. " As well might they
ay , "wo will obey our onths when
on get an order ot court but not be-
) ro , " In fact to bo con-
istont , that is what they
ught to say. This is what the poo-
ilp say of und for them. AH well
light the mob that is , by violence ,
'
revontin'g the people from express-
ressing their choice at an election ,
say , "Got an order of court and w
will stop our lawlessness but not bo
foror"
Ono moro stop by this city cminci
nnd mayor in the direction indicntcc
nnd ballot box stuffing , tissue ballots
bulldozing nnd shotgun intimidalioi
nt the polls will become not only the
order of the day to defeat the populn
will , but eminently respectable niu
preferable , because not involving tlu
infraction of solemn , recorded vita
onths and obligations.
Alderman D.iwson. Keller , Cavin
Spotman nnd Cherubim Fonda have
the same right to usurp authority am
perpetuate themselves in power undei
the old city charter , against the pro
nounccd will of the people , at * 11 sub
sequent city elections , and for nlltimo
to come , that they have to refuse to
count the vote in this instance.
THEIR ACTH
are not only base usurpation ? , illegal
void , oath stretching and unconscion-
nblo , but border on revolution , law
lessness nnd anarchy. Such high
handed vandalism upon the ftinda
mental rights of the people would no
be tolerated in u government of dis
potism. They should not and will nebo
bo tolerated in ono of the first citioi
of free Iowa. If those men will 1101
tnko their hands off of free government
mont in our city , they ought to bo
shunned and execrated by all lovers
of n republican form of government ns
they would shun pestilence nnd fain
