IL there was any doubt Of the diabollcai
malice of the Pioneer Press in the assaults
upon the fire department of the city, 1t is
found in the comments of that disgraceful
sheet upon the fire Monday night. The
fire occurred in the absolutely most haz-
ardous portion of the city. 1t was IN the
midst Of compact nest of frame build
inss, devoted to planning mills and
other wood work Industries.
In spite OF this it was confined to the
building where it originated ard even that
was largely saved. The spectators were
enthusiastic in their commentator of the
management of the fire, and the suf-
ferers, as well as the prop
erty owners in the immediate vicinity, felt
such degree of Indignation over the at
tack of the disreputable Pioneer Press
that they could not denounce it
too severely yesterday. They have united
in voluntary card of commentator of
the fire department, which they send to the
GLOBE as simple act of justice. No one
assumes that the chief OF the depart
ment are infallible, but it is shameful that
gang of Irresponsible harpies, who pay
no taxes and never had a dollar of prop
erU at risk in st. Paul or anywhere else,
should illuminate their malicious lies rela-
tive to faithful public servants. 1t is
about time for the scoundrelly liars to
cease their malicious libels. Their last
is so openly infamous that their venomous
falsehoods can ne longer harm the objects
of their vile attacks.

Judge of the Eighth judicial district,
respondent
syilabus-A party complaining that a
statement OF the case, or bill of exceptions,
is enormously settled should ordinarily in
the first instance make regular app.ca-
ton to the court or judge, for re-settle-
ment, thereafter if necessary, mandamus
will lie TO compel a correct settlement.
Rule dismissed. VANDERBuRGH, j.
George E. Morris, respondent, VS.. the St.
Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba Railway
company, appellant.
Syllabus-In an action BIZ the owners to
recover lands which have been appropri-
ated by railroad company without the
payment of lawful compensation therefor,
where the defendant corporation seeks to
have the amount of plaintiffs damages
assessed on the trial. pursuant to sec. 35.
CHI. 81, gen. stat, such damages are to be
assessed as of the time of the trial.
When the effect of the construction and
operation of the railroad through partic-
ular section of the state has been to en-
nance the general market value of real
| estate, this fact as well as any
other tending to the same result, will nat
urally and necessarily enter into the opin-
ions and evidence of the witnesses as to the
| present market value of the particular
| tract in question on such trial.
But in estimating the value of the prem
ises apart from the effect of their occu-
pancy by the corporation, it is erroneous
to instruct the jury ''to consider what the
value of the farm would be if the railroad
was on it, but if the railroad were in the
immediate neighborhood."
Where in such an action the plaintiff
failed to establish title except to an undi
vided interest, but the jury assessed and
allowed to him damages as the owner q
entire tract, it was held that new tria
should be granted.
Order denying new trial reversed.

AMONG all civilized people there is gen.
eral recognition,by gentlemen. of certain
degree of courtesy due to lady. The
statement Nigh. e7er &c moro sweeping,
for the history of semi-barbarous nations
shows that the men though not gentle, or
perhaps what in more modern days would
b. styled gentlemen, had chivalric in
stinct which led them to defend the female
sex and in no event, and under no pro-
vocation attack a lady. The Amer
lean Indian. in his savage state, is about
the only. human POSSIBLY we should say
inhuman,) being VINO, mas no respect
for womanhood, no regard for sex, no re-
spect for the mother who bore him and no
care for the squaw whom he employs as a
wife to do his drudgery. It is perhaps be-
cause the earlier years of the editor of the
Pioneer Press were absolutely
spent 5. in company With the
lowest grade of American savages, that
he has never been able to reach the grade
of decency in civilized life and much less
attain the rank of gentleman. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that yesterday morn
iEg's Pioneer-Press should contain wan
ton, shameless and indecently vulgar at
tack upon a lady, whom the low, nomadic,
degraded savage assumes is an asplrant for
the position of State Librarian. Whethe
the lady has any such aspirations,
the GLOBE is not advised, but that is not
q material matter. 1t is an honorable
and legitimate aspiration, if it exists.
Whether true, or assumed for the occasion,
this indecent wreck, who in such lucid in
intervals as his early dissipation and as
ISOLATION with American savages permits,
presides over the columns IF newspaper,
makes it the pretext for such vulgar
abuse of Lady that no gentle
man, with the slightest regard for
decency, could admit the sheet to his family
circle. A person who is thus shameless,
who so openly and wantonly advertises
himself as the dissipated savage that he
is, merits the same sentiment which civil
lied people accorded to his associate
brutes, who in 1862 deva stated the Min
nesota frontier, and by their outrages of
defenseless women, and murder
of helpless babes made a
page in American history so
horrible and indecent That it has never
been recorded in written language, and
lives only as terrible but true tradition,
passing by word of mouth
from generation to generation.
It is disgrace to journalism that the COM
panion and associate of the savage, whose
highest instinct is rapine~ which ranks
below the brute creation should, even tenn
porarily, be enabled to insult civilization
by his vulgar utterances in printed col
umns. lsss tt -

The argument in the tax case of the
county of San Matso, CAL, against the
Southern Pacific Railway company began
in the United States supreme court this
afternoon. Much interest is manifest ed.
The court room was filled with lawy ers
and spectators. The pri ncipal questions
involved in tie litigation are whether the
fourteenth amendment to the fed
eral constitution has any proper
application TO the revenue system of
the several states; whether by that.
amendment Limitation is imposed upon.
the taxing powers of states, and if so, what
is the nature andnextent of that limitation.
A number of other subordinate questions.
are raised, among them, whether private,
corporations are persons within the
meaning of the fourteenth amendment;
whether that amendment, in declaring that
no state shall deny to any person
within its jurisdiction "eaual pro-
lection of the laws" is to ba understood
as forbidding unequal taxation, and.
whether under the reserved power to,
amend. alter or repeal laws-under which.
private corporations are formed, the state
can exercise any control over the.
property of corporation except such as.
may be exercised through control
over its franchise, and even like property
of national persons engaged in a similar
business. The argument in behalf of the
county of San Mateo and state of Cali
fornia, who are plaintiffs in error, was,be-
gun by ex-Chief Justice Rhodes, of Cali
fornia. He will continue the argument
tomorrow. The eminent counsel engaged
in the case lends additional interest to it.
