Kina llieharit III , act t , tcene I.
Among the proceedings of the cify
council , not included in the report of
the previous regular program , was the
adoption of tlio following elaborate
proimblo and resolution , in which the
expressions "this council" "the coun
cil" occur seventeen times , indicating
the literary taste of the author :
Whereas , thu common council of
the city of Council Bluffs have always
been courteous and accommodating to
the persons engaged in the reporting
of proceedings nnd nowa from the
common council in the consideration
> f public business being transacted by
the council , and to this end have ai
no time hindered any newspaper ro-
torter in thin business , but hove will-
ugly permitted the use of and granted
every opportunity nnd facility to niako
and have the proceeding of the coun
cil published for the benefit of all per
sons interested therein ; und
WitKHUAH , Wo fun ! and see on the
adjournment of every council the
greatest abuse of the courtesy ex
tended to one C. F. Adnms , the local
reporter of Tin : OMAHA BKH , a news
paper published in u foreign city , in
thu statement of facts and record
proceedings of the council , and that
the said AdaniB , without roi'ard to
facts , misrepresents the proceedings
of the council , ns well an the motives
of the individual members of the
council and other ofjlcors of the city
of Council Bluffs , in an ungentlemanly -
manly w.iy , ns to himself and to thu
common council , in the wilfully perverse -
verso medium of his misrepresenta
tion of facts and proceedings of this
council , thereby wilfully abusing the
confidence of this council nnd < ku
public as to facts , and the courtesy ov-
tended to him by this council ; there
fore be it
Resolved , That wo hereby express
our contempt for ouch willful abuse of
ourselves nnd the public as to pro
ceeding , und thu facts nctod upon by
this council , and that the said C. F.
Adams may still enjoy the conrtosy of
this council iu the unu of the city
chairs and desks to prepare article of
misrepresentations and deceit ns he
has heretofore done , and that we do
hereby express thu moatcomploto con
tempt for the said "Omaha Boo" and
the person aforesaid employed by it to
deceive'and misrepresent the facts and
proceeding ot this counsel , gained
from public meetings of this council ;
and that these resolution ! ) be printed
and entered on the records as part of
the proceeding of this council.
The foregoing was written by our
city attorney and introduced before
our "do facto" city government last
Friday evening by ono of the Big 4
"do facto" aldermen , E. R. Fonda ,
ono of the U. P. cabmen , better
known as "Chapman's hairless choru
him. " In presenting thu above , the
cabman stated that ho had been
iibuued and stung by TUB BKK long
onougli. That he was tired of it.
' 'Thoothor day that paper said I wa
foolish , and if they are allowed to go
on I am ufraid tuuy will prove it. If
it appeared in some papers I would
not say ono word , but Tun BKU has a.
wide circulation all through this state
and the went , is taken all over No-i
braska , away up the Platte river ,
whore I nm known. These are my
reasons , gentlemen , for asking you to
pass this resolution. "
After the cabman had concluded ,
Mr. Churchill moved that it bo laid
on the table.
Mr. Dawaon said tlmtTiiK BKE had
made light of the proceedings when
they should be treated with grave
solemnity. Ho for ono should vow ;
in favor of the resolution. A vote
was taken , resulting in its passage ;
Ponda , Uiwson , Keller and Spetman
noting in the ullirmntivo , Churchill
ind Unthank in the negative. Phil
lips and Cayin were not present.
Asi will bo observed tlioao charges
are made without any "in that's1 , or
specifications of what was pub
lished which has been considered
cowardly and dishonorable. ' Even
among the filth and slime of an ancient
or modern "Asatia" sincn lost , with
out money or without price , on
Monday mornings , following each
council meeting , 'we ' have given full
and complete accountjof the proceed
ings of the elty council. That we have
at times erred in our report wo do
not deny , but wo say in truth , dur
ing all this time neither by letterer
word hai our attention been but
once called to a mistake we had made
in our report of facts and this was a
mistake in a financial teckoliing.
We have not always published the de
bates ver batim , we have too much ro-
spcot for Council Blutfand her system
of free schools. They censure us be
cause wo dared to accuse them of nil-
fully and mnticioiuly dugraoing , our
city in the eyes of the civilized 'world ,
in refusing to examine the returned
abstracts , declare the loatilt nnd call anew
now election ai the law requires them
to do. Wo say no matter how honest
pcraonally theno men may bo , to defy
the will of the voters of this city expressed - '
pressed at the polls ( which nald in lan
guage an plain as that which appeared
on the wall at the fe.iit of Bel-
Bhan7.or , "You have boon weighed in
the balance and found wanting ) is n
willful , disgraceful and foolish viola
tion of u public duty on general prin
ciples. Ordinarily wo should feel
very much grieved to bo csnsured by
the city council of a ciy of 120,000 inhabitants -
habitants , for trying to do our duty
towards them by 'attacking wrong
wherever it may appear , on our
Htreots/in our saloons or in the halla
of our city legislature. But coming
from a sot of men who , like dunces ,
are too ignorant to be of any public
uuo and too stubborn to learn , who
for willfully reftming to do u sworn
duty are existing daily under the
sluulow of a criminal prosecution , and
are only kept from behind the bars by
the bonds of sympathetic friends , we
shall reserve our tiurs for n moro fit
ting occasion.

WANTED TO BLAP 1IIM.
Quito a disgusting scene was wit-
teased on Broadway. A man whose
lUsineHs seems to be to carry a banjo
round under his urm got into n war
f .woids with a woman , presumed to
ie liia wife. He was throating to strike
icr add seemed to be trying to get her
n some out-of-the-way street , where
nmolested by a citizen ho could carry
ut his threat. At the corner of
Jryant street and Broadway ho
wanted her to go down the former
treet. But she was too sharp for
lim. lie grabbed hold of her arm
nd declared film should go that way
r ho would give all she wanted. A
mil by the name of Kenno happened
tlong and remarked to thu man that
' he dared to strike that woman there
u the sheet he should take a hand in
ho affair. The wife declared if her
lusband didn't let her nlono she
vould nlnn him in the face , big as ho
was , "Novor tnind his size , madam , "
aid Kenno , "nlup him a good one ; I'll
; o you halves. " Between Konnu nnd
lin wife the man became quite rucon-
iled to the fact that he better let her
bun , nnd they walked down quite
iciicoablu to their boarding house.
