Show !NO PAY FOR PATROLMEN, SAY THE EIGHT IMMACULATES. The Eight lroraaculates enacted another of their seriocomic travesties in the Council chamber cham-ber last Monday evening. As usual the Eight Serviles played the role of Buftoons, while the legitimate representations were enacted by the I Handicapped Seven who monopolize such ration ality and sense as is stored in the councilmanic granery. In their trenzied effort to wrest the title of chief of police from Mr. Sheets, the Eight Unmentionables Un-mentionables last Monday presented an abject and humiliating spectacle. In ordor to totally Ignore that painstaking and efficient official, the Eight Effeminates, with vapid and senile protestations of party loyalty, voted down a resolution which overlooked Mr. Sheets as a ralaried officer and morely provided for the payment of the monthly stipend of the patrolmen and captain of police. In no municipality from tar Baluchistan to Calumpit has such a petty and transparent farce ever been perpetrated. While the patrolmen and their families are suffering tor their monthly remuneration, re-muneration, it is time for incensed citizenship to rise in revolt against an exhibition of paltroonery which makes a burlesque of municipal government. govern-ment. In olden days rools and lepers were driven with wrathful declamations from the midst of the decent populace. It has remained for the pres-, pres-, ent majority of the city council to vindicate the action of the ancients, and a whip of thongs constructed con-structed with the most vindictive and cruel cunning cun-ning should be utilized to lash this depraved cluster clus-ter of incompetents trom the seats of municipal control. "While the "Jight Immaculates nowl and sputter, sput-ter, and in the spleen and chagrin born of the most intense egotism and church domination deprive de-prive the servants of the public or their just reward re-ward for sei vices performed, the city is enjoying enjoy-ing the best and most benignant pollcemanic administration ad-ministration the city has ever received We protest, pro-test, in benalf of a suffering public, against this gross hyperbole or municipal injustice. . Such meddlers as compose the band ot Eight Buffoons are black blotches upon the canvas of proper and just municipal government. They should "be given a hypodermic injection of the blue vitriol of common contempt, and hurled amid shouts of derision trom a governmental chamber where are supposed to be represented lreedom, decency and Americanism. Salve, Buffoons and Slaves, say we again. |
