8 THE OMAHA DAILJIKJi ! ; WEDNESDAY , SEPTEMBER 12 , 1804. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mayor Appoints n Committee on tha Amend ment of City Charter , SEVERAL NAMES ARE OEJICTED TO 2lttcr Itcfcrtcil to n Special Committee JleKlltrur * Appointed nnd Ordered to Jlcport OrillmuKo fnr llonil * for City Ulectrln Unlit I'Junt. 1 With tii exception ot Mr. Itechel , all * r the members ol tliw city council attended Iho regular meeting last night , where they worked and talked until the clock tolled out the midnight hour. Ilcswell Miller , president of the Milwaukee Railroad company , wrote Ihe mayor under Onto of September 6 , nnd Iho Utter was rt- fprrcd to the council , Ho wrote upon Ihe HUbJect of a 'union depot. Baying Ihat If ono wus lo be built It should bo open to tlio use of all ot the roads entering Omaha , on fair nnd equal terms , the power to rcgu- late these lei ma lo bo placed in the Imntla of the city. As Miller understood it , ho Bald that this whole matter was to bo left to the Union Pacific company to prescribe terms and admit other roads , Ho thought that such u. plan would keep other roads out of the city. Air. Hancall talked loud and Ions , saying Hint Iho Milwaukee road had no Interests In Omaha which the council could protect. It the Union Pacific nnd Darlington wanted to go and build the depot , they should bo nil owed to do so without Interference. The viaduct on Tenth street was built with Iho express understanding that the the d.pot eliould be constructed on tlie Mason street crossing and there waa no sense In trying to change the location at this late dale. Several other members wonted to talk , tut as Hascall hud worn out a large portion of the night , the regular order ot business was taken up and Iho proposed oratory waa lost to the world. TO AMEND THIS CHANTER. In order to get the work of preparing pro posed amendments to the city charter Btartfd , Mayor Dcmls wrote the following communication la the council : It has been apparent dm Ins the past year that , notwithstanding tlie labors ot the charter revision committee two yearn ago. there are many serious defects in our city charier. The time la Tipproachlng when our legislature will convene nnd slops must bo taken ut once to make such corrections nnd changed ns experience shows lire nec essary. There are several very Important mutters which should be Incorporated In the charter. 1'robubly the must Impoitnnt change Is a provision for n city assessor \a \ fix the taxable value of nil propel ty nnil do awtiy with the absurd valuations which Mow obtain. These matters should lie given careful nnd deliberate attention nnd care fully prcimied befoie the legislature con vener , so they can be proptily InUoducctl nt thebeginning - of the session , and not left until the last moment to be gaiblcil l > y interested parties when It Is tou I.U to correcl error * . I have therefore con cluded that this mailer should be taken ii | nt once , and I have the honor lo inform you that 1 have appointed tlie following lif- teen citizens us members of n committee on charter revision , unit suggest thai Ihe coun cil nppolnl live members lo co-operate wltli them , the twenty no appointed to constitute a comml tee > to tKtorm ne u.an such change.- ns nre thought necessary nnd endeavor tc pccure their enactment by llio legislature !

As soon an tha communicitlcri was reni Mr. Hascall was upon his feet clamorlnf that the members of "the last legislature were the gsntlcmpn who knew what was wanted. Somb of I ho men were good enough but many of them had axes to grind. T ( Blimp in five men with llic fifteen wcult bring In discord and could result in no goat' ' for the clly. There was no reason why llif l mayor should limit the number of men whlcl the council should appoint. Mr. Specht wanted to see G. M. Hitch cock on the committee. Mr. Wheeler said ho know seme cf tin men whom the mayor had named , andUnev that they were drones in the hives. The ; -nero on the committee two years ago , am K Utter meeting two or three times , they re IK fused to act. For one ho was opposed ti fifteen citizens coming In and bulldozing ( lv < tnen whom the council might name. On motion ot Mr. Kdwnrds the presldcn appointed Messrs. Burkley , Edwards em Wheeler na a special committee to whlcl tlio mayor's communication was referred. SIXTEENTH STHEDT VIADUCT. : Mayor Memls relumed , without his approval P the resolution ordering cinders laid o\e tlio old block pavement on Eighteenth slrce PP bolween St. Mary's avenue and Ilarne ; P etrcel. lie urged that the cinders would b worthless and would be only a makeshift I ftepavlng , he Bald , was " wliat was needed The veto was rejected"by vote of 13 to I and then followed Iho reading'ot ( lie follow ing vela niBisaga with reference to Ihe re planking ol the Sixteenth street vlaductr I relurn herewith , without my approval. resolution directing the Hoard of Publl Works to luivu the Sixteenth street viiuliu replanked. as mny be recommended by th city engineer. The resolution does nut slat the amount to b expended for this wort nor Is any limit placed upon the expend : ture , I deem it unwlso to appiovo n rest lutlcm which is so broad In its lenns. Mori over , I do not think the cllv should nssum the expense of this work. . The presonl coi dillon of the viaduct Is due largely to til street railway company , the weight of II cars doing1 more -weaken the stiuclur than any other cause , nnd it would seei na more than Jimt that that company shoul bear the gienter part of the expense of n pairs. .A single train ot two earn , whc loaded , weighs about twelve Ions. Whc * two trains meet on the vluurtct there Is h weight of twenty-four tons on u ppace ( a few feet. The constant thumping oC thes r trains ) m caused the viaduct to be In II present condition. This company li icriulre to pave between Hi rails on paved streel nnd should bo required to do the same o the vlndurls. Tlie roadway of Iho Sixteen ! Direct vlmluct Is twentw feet at Us vrldi'i part and Is seventeen feet In width UIIOIIK the trusses. Of this space tl trucks of the street rnllway con pttny occupy ten and ono-lhlt t tcct , or more than half. At Ihe time tl agreement was made with the- railroad nr street car companies , It was not know that replanklng would be necessary over tl entire stwture. II develops , however , tin the expense nf repairing Ihe trestle woi will amount to about $3.100 , leaving IIs of the $5,000 covered by Iho ngrermont i > Hie repairs. The cxpcntc of laying a flo. . of n single- layer of two-Inch oak plar over the roadwny of the vluduet. under tl contract with Mr , Mayo , will be Jl.MC , But ojloor would make the vlmluct passable fi teams , nnd the clly Is under no obllgalU to make II passable for stret-l earn , Tl old contract between the city and the plrc .railway cqinpany , whereby the latter wi to use the viaduct , required thepayni < > of 15 per annum to tlie city , the only cffr of which wna to make the city rrsponslli for the safely of the slrurturc. I iccoi in end Hint the Hoard of Public Works 1 Instructed to have the viaduct replanki \vltli n Mn le Jay r of two-Inch oiik plat nnd thrown open to travel , and If the tstre railway company wants to use It. nrrang nients can bu made on proper terms ivhli vlll protect the olty , In Oils connccllon tl Btroct railway company should be compel ! to use T rails acinss the viaduct , the sail as. It uses on the streets. Flat lalls lia Veen used heretofore , nnd they are not BI : lloleiit to stand tha Rtnila | iut upon tlit-i These rails nri > prohibited in ouMern cltl nnd they should lie piohlUlted here. Mr. liascall declared that itvas the du of the council to override the veto , as t property owners along South Sixteen rtreel vrrre clamoring lo have tha vladi ugaln opened to tranic. Mr.VhseIer \ thought the viaduct shot be rootietn-d. tint in his opinion It was dangerous practice to pass resolutions for t expenditure ot money unless the nmou wai stated in Ihe icsolutlon. Mr Ilatcrll was sure that there would no steal In doing the work , as rverytht conn ctel wait tlie repairing was under t direction of HIP Hoard of Ilubllc Works a Ihe city engineer.

The appointment was con firmed. firmed.FLOOD FLOOD WANTS TEN THOUSAND. Andrew Flood presented a claim for $10,000.

The registrars , 228 , who will serve during the coming election , were appointed nnd confirmed. They are requested la appear before the city clerk on or before next Mon day night , when they will slate whether or not thty are willing to serve the city. Mr , Il.isrnll offered n resolution taking $2.10 out of Ihe curbing and guttering fund nnd applying It on the $11 250 street repairing bill of Iho Harbcr Asphalt company. The resolution also provides that the balance should bo paid when funds were available. The resolution was adopted and the cash Item went Into the appropriation ordinance , Hy resolution , all of the clly offices were ordered closed tomorrow , In order to allow Hie employes an opportunity to attend the state fair.

The sum of $200 was appropriated to be used In the renalilng of the bridge over Saddle creek , where the same crosses I < eaven\vortli street.

The ordinance p'rmllllng the reopening of the old Ilairia & risher packing house at Sheeley station was passed by a vote of 12 to 5. The resolution ordering the repaying ol the floor of the Tqnth slreet viaduct was amended by striking out the figures Jl.OOC and inserting the figures $500. City Engin eer Uosewatcr was of the opinion that $500 would cover all of the expenses. As amended , the resolution was referred to the committee on railways and viaducts , to be considered at a subsequent meeting. JI.VYDl.N HKOS.

SEIK3 HONEST MEN , NOT PARTISANS Lust Nlglit'fl Mcellnz AtlilrcMFd by Dr. J'liryca nu < l .Mr. Itotcwnter linixirtmico of I'urtrjliiff City rolltln Machine Must 11 n Itrokcn. The Municipal league held an opsn meet ing last night In the Hard : of Trade rooms. Owing to Ihc fact that a political meeting was also held last evening the attendance was comparatively small , but as largo as expected. The deficiency in numbers , how ever , was fully made up by the character of those present , almcst all being property owners , and imioiifj them were Included some ot the moat , prominent business and professional men of Ihe clly. The meeting was presided ever by Judge Q. W. Doano , president ol the league , and was addressed by Mr. Ilosewatcr and Dr. Duryea. JuJge Doano opened the meeting by giv ing A skelcti of the objects and methods of the league. Ho staled lliat- the first nnd main object was to elect competent men to city cilices , nnd secondly , to watch them when they got In. Many of the men who were now In cilicevero unfit for their po- sltlona. The other objects were more gen eral and Incidental and of a charitable na ture. ture."The "The manner of the rctorms , " continued Judge Doane , "must bo copied after the methods of politicians. 0dices are now sought and obtained by complete and working organizations. The league must do tbe same. We must organize in every ward nnd infuse spirit Into every element , Wo have at present a central council , which Is at the head. This la divided Into various committees , to which different brandies of the work are assigned. Auxiliary to the central council are the ward councils. These are Intended to direct the ward leagues , and have delegates to the central council. The members of the ward leagues pledge them selves lo nllend the primaries of their party. We are not trying to form a new party , In fact are not in pollllcs. But we do propose to use the same kind ot warfare to a certain extent as Is used now. Therefore we da , not ask members to divorce themselves from their parties , but to attend.primaries to sec that good men are put In omce. - FOU THE CLEAN MAN. "If good men are nominated by each party , members can vote as they please. Uut 11 one party nominates n clean man and the others Indifferent men , then wo must vote for the clean man. tf no parly select a man for whom we can conscientiously vote , then it Is our duty lo put forward an independent candidate. Party men now do not try tc select good men , but leave the choice lo the ward machine. In eacli parly the men whc control the machine are nominated , and noth ing but I toll son's choice is Icit us , The rule Is that the best men are never selected , "We do not try to control men's convic tion , except In municipal affairs. Outside of that a man can follow his party's candi date. Ilul wo ought lo have Ihe good ol Ihe city enough at heart loconlrol the clec- lion ol such men as we oticht to have. There arc great abuses In the city now. They have been ventilated and denounced but no good has resulted. When the oftl- clnls have some selfish sclf-liiteresl , if It isle lo their adxantage to supo-rt these interests , they will do so , and let the city go. To re- lorm this It Is necessary that all the EooC men should band together , and not only s few in each ward. It Is a question ot goer citizenship whether or not wo are wllllnt to forget yarty for publlcngood. If we nn we can conlrol the election In November If we arc not we- must have the same guv- ernmcnl which we now have , and hope foi no reform. " REFORMS NEEDED. After tha conclusion of his remarks. Judge Doano called upon Mr. K. Uosewater , whc had been invlled to addrtss the meeting Mr. Rosewater spoke in substance as fol lows : "I have been trying for years to get thf people of the city to disregard party llei In selecting city ofllcials. My success hai been doubtful , lo &ay the least , The glar Ing scandals In the city hall from the tlmi It was begun are evidence of this. Yet wi are Inclined to think that rotlennesa exist : here and , looking outside , think we sei reforms successful. I had heard much o the system of government of Cleveland amen on a recent visit there I went to the clt ; hall lo investigate. I found Ihe same ok machine , bul under n dlfterenl name. Then were 'dlreclors' of every deparlmenl , bu Ihcy wore appointed by a machine mayo and confirmed or rejected by a machln council. Every two years they went out , n < matter how competent they were. "You cannot make any great attemp at reform this fall. Only ward councilman five members of the Board of education am assessors from each ward are to bo selected These last are the most important , bccaus It Is hard to undo the v.ork ot a fraudulen assessor. The only redress Is to cdmplaii and possibly equalize the burde'n , but on would rather bubmlt than go against hi neighbor. What wo need is a more unlforn rate of assessment. "In my opinion the plan ot the league- 1 good. The ( list thing Is to go lo the oiu cuses. Machine politics control the cancm the latter controls the primaries , and henc Ihcso are a farce. Most voters accept 111 caucus ticket. They are too cowardly t flghl It. although It had been dictated b forty persons or less for 2,000. The sam llilng Is enacted in the cily convention. Th result Is that out of the three tickets U I 'Impossible lo pick out nine men lo whor ono would care to entrust even $5. If on votes as his conscience bids him ho ca perhaps cast his ballot for four of live me and leave the other , perhaps forty , canill dates blank. The Australian ballol prove that tills Is so. It is not that the peopl can't read , but they cannot consclentlousl vote for the candidate without shame. Tli difficulty with reform clubs is lhat they .de : with theory and not practice- They d things in a way lhat does no-t bring n suits. The bolter Is the eonselenllous clt zen. He who always voles his parly's tlcki Is either a numskull or a rogue. "There is not n vast amount of work I bo done this fall , but it ought to bo ilon well. Politicians scheming to get nomlm tlons are already ahead cf you. WAR ON THE MACHINE. "This fall you may be forced to the e ) trcme alternative ol pulling men in the flel who have not been heard of at the caucusi or primaries. You must arouse the people lo vote for good , first-class business men i the league Instead of dead beats who have pi themselves on the ticket and who can on ! show a sand block as property. You ca make a start. If you break up the part machine In municipal politics'you will ha' a different government. It will not be pe feel , because It will he the work ol hunu hands. Cut the people oughl to stop votlr tor men who give thousands ot dollars corporations or jobbers and alongside whom a pickpocket Is a gentleman. "You will have to hunt for candidate There are plenty of people hunting for olTic but not of the right kind. Gen n good business man and ask htm lo run fi olllce and he " 111 say lhat he hasn't time does not care to rub up against such peep an uro often In the council. This Is why i have bad government. Uut you must try arouse the properly owners to a state of de Iteration , pound U Into Ihe people that Omul must be relieved ot boodlerltm and boodl Ism. " Upon the conclusion ot his speech Jl Rosewater was liberally applauded. I was also frenuenUy inWrrupled In the cour of hU remarks by applause. Secretary Powell of the league suggest that before- calling upon Ur. Duryea t meeting : listen to reports from the war In which leaguea have already been forme The Fourth , Fifth , Sixth and Ninth war were represented by officers ot the wa councils , who stated In each case that t preliminary work had been done. During t cominir wiiek all these- wards -will divided Into precincts and men appoint over each precinct. It la hoped (0 ( ha men appointed even for every block. Jn ( peaking of the Ninth ward , W , L. Gibbon caul thai many partisans be aled to join the IC RUI on account ot party iteglane ? and It wag necessary lo explain hat the league m&kott a democrat a better nr.ocrat and a republican a belter republi can. The city nfteriall IB nothing but a gigantic corporation-he continued. DlK ! 0tpartitions do- not Inquire whether n mnn s A democrat or axrepubllcan , but whether or not ho Is honest and competent. No jueitlon ot currency or tariff arlnes. Muni cipal and national ; politics should be ab solutely divorced , Secretary Powell , said that li expected o too a league In- every ward within two necks. TUB IinDlROCK OF.IT. Dr. Duryea then spoke substantially as allows : "Tho object of the Ifimuc Is great and Im- lorlaiit , and ought to claim great attention. Government touches us In our < nvn person , n our property and In our higher Interests of the mind and character. The founders of ho government hoped for Its futurity In : ho perpetuity ot local self-government. This ocal self-government had lt Inrcption In the town meeting , In which on came to understand the principles which underlie government and are immediately engaged In Its processes. Men who analyze- our govern ment will get to bed rock when they reach the town meeting. The nearest and dearest Interests of yourselves , your families and your friends must depend on good govern ment al home. On It must depend good state Government. You can have no good , right eous , economical state government unless you have good , righteous , economical city government. 'If town politics cannot be purified those ot the state cannot ; It these cniiot , the cor ruption will extend to those ot the nation. Then. If It Is true that local self-government Is corrupt in all the cities of the United States , Uio nation Is doomed. "I am surprised to see with what non chalance the m/chlne men do as they wish. They have organization , and they think they are Impregnable , because no counter force can be rallied against them. If It were , they would Dee. The reform must ba accomplished by the slow hut sure method. We must enlighten and then enlist the people. AVe must or ganize , and for all time. Custom has pro duced certain effects. The effects are be coming sore. We read an exposure In the morning and forget about It by night. If we remember It we smile and think It rather smart. It ought to arouse such a sentiment as would blast and burn thoeo guilty. We are opening our towns to the presence of adventurers who will come some day and take iho spoils. A man will say that he Is too busy to pay attention to city politics. He must recuperate during bis spare time to carry on his business , If this Is so , we ought to find some other sys tem ot government , for things will go from bad to worse. We must not work by spurts , but keep It up year In and year out. We must begin by thorough , complete organiza tion and personal work. Then the victory will be sure. " Frequent applause was given during the course of Dr. Duryea's speech. Judge Doane announced that dnother meetIng - Ing of the club would take place on Sep tember 25 at the same place.

OUT ON THE WARPATH AGAIN Judge Soott Treats an Attorney with Qro a Indignity and Insult- LAV/YEh / FOUND FAULT WITH HIS RULINGS UroiyltiK Uut of the Closing of tlin Judge' * Snloun AHornry lltmnmn 1'nfl the L'ennlty fur Not Apr eel tig- With the Court. Judicially mixed cockta'.U are a thing of the past at the "Court" saloon , Icc.Ued al the alley ccrncr on Sixteenth between Far- nam and Ilarney streets , the white aprons have been slid Into the basket for soiled linen and the light of John Drcxcl's glitter ing diamond , nhlcli shone from behind the bar for a couple of days while he was rep resenting Cunningham U. Scott as receiver ot the place , has become d mined , In fact , this judicial drinking fountain 1ms closed up shop and Is new In the hands ot a. cus todian , W. II. Sheep , a man of Scott's se lection. Why the bar was closed to the trade Is not known , as the head pusher In the enterprise refuses to give cut the Informa- tbn to the mercantile agencies or the press. All of ttio facts concerning the manner In which Scott hflpp ° ncd to get Into the alon business were recited at length in The Sunday Uce , as well as were the facts concerning the reason why Horace 0. Han- croft relinquished possession. That was the first chapter , but not the last , as another was added Monday afternoon , when Judge Howmnn appeared before Scott In the Interest of Bancroft. The session of court , for It was such , was held In Scott's omce in the New York Life building , where for a couple of hours there was a scene that was Intended to hustle timid men to cover. Scott was on one of his tantrums agjln , and he proceeded to make It ex tremely Interesllng for all Ihose who dared to lake exception to any of his statements or rulings. The hearing1 of the Bancroft saloon case , was on before Judge Scott and Judge Downian was contending for a position that the si- loon was cloecd In an Illegal manner. He had talked something like five minutes , when , fidgeting about In his chair , Scott broke out by saying , "Sit down there ; I want to hear what the other side has to say with reference to ( he matter. " Taken by surprise , Judge Bowman dropped back In his chair , and Attorney Tuttle , who represented the other end of the fight , took the pole , holding It for something more than an hour , going into all cf the Issues. After he bad concluded Scat sailed In and dis cussed the case pro and con , arguing the point of what property belonged to the es tate , what belonged to Bancroft and what belonged to the creditors c-f Bancroft , as well as the Interest nf the mortgagees. > \ lien he had concluded Bowman asked to be heard , but with one of the waves of Scott's hand ho was motioned to a chair and told to keep still , after which Scott held that any property put Into the business by Bancroft for the purpose of replacing es tate property that had been used was not the property of the estate , but was the In- d.vldual property of Bancroft. ABUSCD TUB ATTOUNRY. When this statement was made Judge Bowman intimated In a gentle manner that the authorlllcs did not agree with the court upon the legal proposition. This was like showing the red rag to the enraged bull , nnd forgetting Iho dignity of his high pos.titm , Scott bellowed and pawed the ground , so to speak. He denied that there was any gucli law and Intimated that the attorney was tryIng - Ing to mislead the court. Judge Bowman was armed for the occasion nnd produced a law- book In which the rule was laid rtuwn , Scott tossed it aside , saying that hevould not look at It , adding that If lawyers wanted lo show him law they would have to pro duce their authorities Jn court. Bowman then wanted to read the law , but Scott would not listen , and ns Bowman otnr'.ed to read , Scott took the book from him and threw it down upon the table. This ended the legal portion of the fracas , after which Bowman intimated thai the court't mind was a trine distuibed and that lie waa feeling and looking a Hitle'bour. When this remark \vaa made Scott flushed to the roots of his hair and then grew atiy - pale , while his whole frame trembled vith anger. For a moment It seemed as If an explosion was to lol v , but cooling down a little , Scott hissed through his cli-ced teeth the words , "You look as sweat as a IOBC. " nowmnn asked to be allowed to npologl/e , when Srott informed him that hewould not listen to an apology , Bowman lold Scott that he did not Intend to d ) anything to of fend the court and that he had been crly acting In the beat Interests of his client. Again Scott told him that he would not listen to any apology and gathering up his booke , Bowman left the office. After ho fail gone Scott cut loose and roasted him to the queen's taste to the crowd which had bten attracted to the door hv the loud conversa tion. He said that Bowman was Ihc most Impudent and Impertinent man that he had ever seen and that he hoped that he would never come before him again In the trial nf a cause , adding , "If he does he had better bring along plenty of money to pay a fine. " The further hearing of this case will come before Scott nevt Monday upon the opening ; of the September term , nt which time Bow man will ask for n change of venue. Kiid of DIB Kussnll TrntililcN.
