And now 1t is discovered and exposed that
the old Pontchartrain Railroad has been rum
ming for forty years on and using as it's
property portion Of Elysian Fields street,
which was never ceded to 1t. The property
on which the track was laid belonged to Mr..
Bernard Marigny by title acquired in 1905,
and right Of way for railroad WAS only ae-
auired by the Pontchartrain Company, but
not q right Of property in the street. The
company claims and exercises all the rights
of owner Of this property. But our present
City Administrators employed diligent
young lawyer, grandson OF the first Gov
ernor of the State. who has investigated the
titles and history Of this property, and places
beyond doubt that it never was ceded or
conveyed to the company.
This Is one victory of the city over the cor
porations which have been SO long holding
from II its property and rights, and relieving
themselves of burdens imposed on all other
pers ons who enjoy the protection and bene-
fits of the city government II q thorough
investigation could be had into the relations
of the various corporations In this city to the
municipal authorities, it would develop o
startling array Of losses to the city and mis-
appropriation Of corporate property to pri-

A great many designations and Withdrawals
Of Republican candidates in New York have
been ehronicled of late. 1t commenced with
the retirement Of Senator Woodin, Tweed's
friend, from the canvass, under the Boss dis
closures. The retirement idea is spreading
and has reached the state ticket
Mr.. Sylvester, the Republican candidate for
Controller, has just retired and Mr. Ludding-
ton of Monticello, has been put in his place.
The Republican nominee for State Engineer
has been discovered to be implicated In the
canal frauds, and Is called on by Republican
papers to step down; the other two candi-
dates for State Offices, the Secretaryship Of
State and the Treasuryship. are also said to
contemplate retirement from the canvass and
want some other men nominated in their
places. The result will probably be an en-
tirely different ticket from that nominated by
Conkling at Rochester. II Hayes friends
would follow this up with retirement of q
few panks in the Rochester platform all
would be well again.

No stump orator throughout the campaign
ever referred to these amendments; they

day came around and the voter marched up
to the polls and was called on to vote on

not the slightest idea what these were. Four
out of five Of the voters solved the difficulty
by voting blank on these questions; while it

In one county Of Ohio the exact strength of
the Presidents policy within the Republican
party has been tested by popular vote.
This county Is Ashtabula. in the Western Re-
serve, the home Of Ben Wade and one of the
strongest Republican counties in the State
In Ashtabula the regular Republican nomi-
nee ran on the Cleveland platform. The
friends OF the President, however, were not
satisfied with this, organized a bolt and nom
mated an Administration candidate, on a
platform extremely laudatory Of Hayes.
This candidate DR.. Seely, vigorously can
vassed the county, and called on all voters
who desired to express their approval Of and
trust In Hayes to vote for him. AS the DEM
ocrats stood no show in Ashtabula, the fight
was practically between these two candidates.

The result Of the vote Is now announced as ::
Regular Republican, $500; Administration
Republican, 1900. That Is, only one Republi-
can in four in the Western Reserve approves
of the Presidents course; only one-quarter Of
the Republicans of that territory place con-
fidence ana faith in Hayes.

The liuuor men of Richmond have been
pretending for some time past that the Moi
fett register law was unpopular In that city,
and that II 1t we're submitted directly to the
popular vote, an immense majority would
be scored against it. Of course there was no
opportunity or possibility Of doing this; the
constitution of Virginia puts some trust In it's
Legislature, and does not submit to popular
vote every law passed by It, However, as the
liuuor men persisted in these boasts, it was
resolved the other day to test the popular
feeling on this point. On Tuesday, 22d,
primary election was held in Richmond for
the nomination Of Democratic candidates for
the Legislature; at this election, by general
request, the approval or disapproval OF the
Moffett register law was also voted on.
The supporters and defenders Of the law
had no organization or money, and made no
canvass; but the liquor men, on the other
hand who hoped for some good result from
the election, made an earnest fight against
the law. Whisky and beer, it became gener-
ally known, could be obtained by any compe-
tent voter, and the whole election consequently
passed off gloriously, pleasantly and hilari-
ously, and was carried on far into the night
by over-excited partisans of the liquor men.
But alas! though many took the bar
keepers liquor, they voted, at the same time,
against the bar-keepers. A count Of the votes
shows: For the Moffett law, 1868; againstit,
1902; majority for the law, 261. The liquor
men have failed to score that victory they so
anxiously looked forward to, and are gloomy,
disconsolate and sullen. The Moffett Regis
ter is still triumphant.

The police jury Of 1T. Landry passed, last
week, very severe Sunday law, Furnishing
with fine and imprisonment any person
carrying on business or work on Sunday. A
strange coincidence Is that the Pennsylvania
courts passed, that very week, on the ques-
ton Of Sunday laws, and declared them un-
constitutional In this country. A Mr. Waldo,
q pious Seventh Day Baptist, of Crawford
county, In that State, believing, like 10
Jews, that Saturday is the true SabbatV
asserted his belief by working on the follo@
ing day--a Sunday. He was brought befoif a
magistrate under an act Of Pennsylvania &bf
17e4, convicted and fined four dollars. an
appeal was taken, and on appeal the higHsr
court reversed the decision of the lower one,

OMNIVEROUS LITIGATION.

Our unfortunate city is In the condition OF
Acteon when his own hounds turned against
and devoured him Now it Is possible that
In the case of ActRon he may have given
some offense or done some wrong to or with
held some right which his hounds had set
up. It Is possible that our city Administra-
tors in the past, and even In the present,
may be chargeable with a like delinquency
and injustice; but if, so far as the present
Administrators are concerned, the demand Of
the citys innumerable pursuers in litigation
is like that Of Acteon's dogs, for the satisfac-
ton of large appetites we fear that 1t will
prove but feast over dry and marrowless
bones.
Never was public or political corporation
pursued or beset with so many and such vex-
atious suits as this city now Is. It appears
in many cases as II everybody who had suf-
fered from the universal shrinkage of the
last five or six years looks to the city to re-
pair his losses and damages from its empty
Golfers. In many Of these cases the claim
ants seek to profit by the bad legislation and
administration of the past. There has been
some corrupt and a great deal of improvi-
dent legislation and administration both Of
the State and city, out of which some per-
sons calculate to make profit at the expense
of the present Administrators Upon them is
thrown the burden and responsibility of all
the past improvident, and in some cases
corrupt, transactions and obligations of
the city; and there is a vast accumula-
ton of these claims and suits, against
which she can only fight for delays, COM
promises and for that last chance Of des-
perate debtor who cannot go into bankruptcy,
of striving to beat the creditor on the execu-
ton. Even this last hope has been snatched
from her by the recent decisions Of the United
States Court recognizing the right and power
of the United States Courts to mandamus
and compel city corporations to assess tax
to pay judgments against them.
Parties are evidently intent on the employ
ment of this mode Of satisfying their iudg-
ments. and In spite OF legislative restrictions
it will be attempted to add to the general tax
alton OF this already heavily taxed people,
special taxes to satisfy judgments against the
corporation In favor Of individuals.
or this character we may cite the claim Of
the defendants against whom Mrs. Gaines
has obtained Judgments, amounting TO sew
ersl millions, who call the city in warranty

There we're two amendments submitted in
Ohio last month, both very desirable ones.

ner that he does. Instead of the long
braided tresses which we had expected
to see falling to their feet, their hair
was cut short, and surmounted by an
embroidered gauze handkerchief put
on like n turban; but TO compensate
for the lack of Oriental splepdor in the
rest of their dress, their jewels far
outstripped our Imagination. This be-
ing the only manner IN which Turkish
females can safely invest money, and
often all that is left TO them at the
death or sudden disgrace OF their hus-
bands, they seize every opportunity 70
