THE NEW WATER WORKS.
A Legal Question Suggested by One Who
Feels Himself Aggrieved.
To ths EdNOr.

TO The Editor.
Allow me to submit, through your columns to
those whom 1t may concern, an important legal
question affecting the operations along the line oil
amendments to the United States constitution
says: Nor shall private property be taken for
public use without Just compensation" This has
always been Interpreted by the courts 10 mean
that before the government or any party by
authority of tho government can, in time OF
peace, take possession of private property, such
property must first have boen paid for. 1t is
well known that when railroads are authorized to
take land not shovel can be used OH 1t Till pay
ment has been made. Now. to the astonishment
of the legal profession and oflaymen, 1t is learned
that Fhe government has actually taken posses
sion of various and extensive parcels OF land. and
proceeded to cXcavate where not dollar has been
paid or rendered to the owners, and where no
appraisal Uf the value of the land has been made
by commissioners. and the commissioners
SSsa mot been dapp% That

year and half had elapsed since the act OF
congress was passed authorizing 1T may be true,
but what has that to DO With the legal rights OF
owners to be paid for properly before IL is taken
from them? A mans horse or dog could not be
taken from him in that way, and yet here are
parcels OF land valued by the owners at $500 900 or
more actually seized and put to use by the gov.
ernment in this free country without u cent of
payment or even an estimate of value. To say
that something will be done does not meet the
requirements Of the constitution as Interpreted
reasonably by the courts For, II payment may
be made after possession is taken, who shall say
when? The owner might be compelled 10 wait
an indefinite number of years. May not any az
grieyed owner in this case secure an injunction
from court prohibiting further trespass upon his
land and putting stop to the excavations until
the land snail be paid for? II the appropriation
to pay for the land was too small, that does not

A Word for Chalmers.

1t is reported that there are democratic members
of congress who propose to look into the merits OF
the contest between Manning and Chalmers
from the second district of Mississippi, and to de-
eide 1t on its merits. Unfortunately, rumors o
this sort too frequently premature, to say the
least Politicians who sincerely desire to be jus
and impartial are often overruled by party re-
qurements. Mr. Chalmers was unquestionably
elected. He received u majority ofall the vote
cast An error of clerk in making up the re'
turns reversed the decision at the pools. We be
lieve there is no question as to this. 1t would b,
a creditable aud an honorable thing for the de

eide upon this case, If possible, without regard t
