A geod Light DecisIon.

JudRe O'Gorman, a Judge OF nlgn rep
ntation in New York city, has refused
10 dissolve temporary injunction OBJ
tained by Tiffany & Co., the jewellers OF
Union Square, against an electric light
company that sought to plant pole in
front OF their store. The judge con
cedes, In his opinion, that the company
has obtained all the municipal ana
legislative authority 1t can get TO war
rant its use of Tiffany & Co. 'ssidewalk ;
but he challenges the power OF the Legis'
lature to grant them such priV'lese
without compensation to the properly
owner, IL it interieres with the rlgnt
which the latter has to free air, iignt
and ingress upon his premises. ihe
iudpe comedies that upon the iacts 40
appear in the testimony there Is such
interference with use Of the sidewalk 10
which Tiffany d Co. are entitled, as
owners of the property. He furthermore
points out that the poles are unnecessary,
since 1t is shown that the wires which
they carry can be as well conveyed
under ground, where they will not
damage the property owner. He refuses
to dissolve the injunction, and the
electric light companies Of New York
city will have to do without their poles
until they can get Judge ONGorman'
decision reversed or can purchase the
valuable grant they want from the
property owners whose premises they
desire to use.
This construction Of the law commends
itself by its good sense The law would
not be reasonable which would enable
state or city to take away without com
pensation from the owner of the proper
ty any part of its use. Roadways can
not be laid out without assessment Of
damages TO the owners of the land, and
why private business corporation
should be permitted to have any use of
another's property to which he objects,
without compensation to him, is quite
incomprehensible. The stupidity and
supineness of property holders generally
has permitted telegraph, telephone aDd
light companies TO make such free use OF
their property that the people interested
in these enterprises have come to think
that they have some special right TO ust
property that is not their own to make
profit for themselves and our council
men, who are often the stupidest peopl
in the community, are frequently foun'
to agree with them. 1t may be that
is rather the kuavery than folly Of couE
cilmen which makes them thus complai
SAINT to these impudent and sggressiS
companies but whatever the cause, II
fact remains that the citizen who wan
to preserve his property rights is calle
on to do so by his own efforts, and NJ
only has no help from those who shoul
guard them from intrusion, but has eve
them to contend with. There are sui
now pending in this town, caused BY Il
fact that councils have lent their aid
the spoliation Of property owners, I,
the sake of accommodating the demsI
of the miserable electric light compar
that its worthless wires shall be struu
through the streets on their clumsy pole
When these suits are decided we wi
know what protection our propert
rights have in Pennsylvania.

Mr.. GEORGE BLISS tells Mr.. Spring
er's committee that his bills for services
as attorney in the Star Route cases
amount to some sos, 900, exclusive of
expenses, which were some four thou
sand more. He says he charged gener'
ally at the rate of 500 day, unless
when his brain was particularly harassed
by the consideration of the business in
hand. He declares that the man who
figured up his charge at $3.50 a day put it
too high, because he didn't count days
enough and omitted Sundays. Mr..
Bliss worked on Sundays and counted
them, and also his time on the
railroad cars; and got IN the
most of the days between his ap
pointment and the failure of its object.
The degree of labor which Mr. Bliss be.
slowed upon the Star Route cases Is
only paralle)ed In magnitude by It's

or legal robbers, New York, where Bliss
says lawyer who does not get away
with hundred dollars day is poor

sharks have the courage 10 ask $50, 900 or
a tenth part of 1t, for such result to
his efforts as that which rewarded those
