CLEANING SIDEWALKS.

In response to a number of our readers
who are making inquiries of the GLOBE
concerning the ordinance requiring side
walks to be cleaned. we will state that there
is an ordinance. or supposed to be one, of
that character. but it has slumbered so long
on the municipal statute books that it is
practically dead letter. The tenor Of the
Obsolete ordinance was that when snow
fell the owners of real estate should have
the feecy drapery removed from the side
walks in front of their property by 10
o'clock on the morning after the ''beauti-
ful' ceased to fall. and in the event of fall
ure to observe the ordinance a penalty in the
shape of fine should be incurred. In reply to
a correspondent who wishes to know whether
or not council has the right to enforce such
an ordinance, we will say that the law and
the prophets seem to be opposed to the
prOposition-that is, so far as there has been
an expression. In yesterdays GLOBE ap-
peared card from Judge BRIsBIN pro-
nouncing the ordinance an absurd one. The
only judicial decision on the subject that
we now have in mind was one rendered by
an Illinois court several years ago in a case
growing out of a contest between the city
of Chicago and a citizen and property
holder of the city in relation to a similar
ordinance. The property holder con-
tested the right of the city to
require him to clean the sidewalks.
The courts sustained him, holding that
the sidewalks were the property of the city
and there was no power to force free
American citizen to do mental service for a
public corporation. The tenor of the de-
ciSion was that if the city wanted house
cleaning done it would have to do its own
house cleaning, or hire some one 70 do it.
This dec. sion has common sense ring about
il. If there is no legal power to compel
one neighbor to clean another neighbors
back yard we fail to see what right the city
has to compel its citizens TO clean streets
and sidewalks. If citizen should place an
obstruction in the street or on the side
walk, then he ought to be punished and
made to pay the expense of removing it.
But when it is placed there by an invisible
power. over which he has no control, then
it is the height of abSurdity to attempt to
make him responsible.

ing the stealing of the county records some
willful Misrepresentation have been made,
and wish to do my share in setting right the
injustice done the people of this county, and
to show the outside world that no reputable,

but on the night of the 18th, heading mob of
drunken dead beats to the number of 20 or 30,
who overawed the few present, broke the
doors down, took the safes, desks, etc., and
scattered the county papers from here to La
Moure along the road. How can they claim
to be 'law-abiding citizens when it is the
common street talk in La Moure thar Judge
Francis will be rotten egged and tarred and
feathered because he issued an order restrain
ing the county officials from removing the
county records I'm IL the frauds perpetrated
could be investigated and the constitution
atty of the act calling a vote tested. He says
the election has not been contested and every
one knows 10 the contrary. Again
he claims that the records will
remain in La Moure, while he knows J. d.
Ellis is moving heaven and earth to get the
records lack to the county seat before thecourt
removes them for him and places him where
he will not cut much of figure as county
seat agtator. And further the writher of

quietly reposing in the bOsoms of their
families while their hired thugs did the dirty
work for them. Respectfully,

WAsHIN GToN. Dec. 1.-The governor of
Alaska in his annual report to the secretary
of the interior says:
Notwithstanding the order or request of
the secretary of the navy, dated July Is,
1885. the senior naval officer has not accorded
TO the civil government the aid and cO-Opera-
ton it had right to expect. The
discourtest of this officer was so
marked as to render it impossible for the
governor to subsequently seek his co-opera-
tion except IN the event of a grave public
emergency. AS the cooperation of either
war vessel or a revenue cut
ter is very essential to the
proper administration of the present gov
erument. the governor considers the action of
the naval commander more than q
personal matter. In this connection
he refers to the return of the
Chinese who were driven away from Douglas
island last summer as a result of the anti
Chinese agitation and says: ION
this occasion the governor re-
ouested the cooperation of Lieut..
Commander Nichols and 10th proceeded

RED Wing, Dec. 1.-When the district
court assembled this morning it was ex-
pected that the defense in the case OF Anton
Kartzerski, accused of poisoning his wife,
would begin it's case, the prosecution hav-
ing finished yesterday afternoon. TO the
surprise of every one, however. no defense
was offered, and the defendant arose and
changed his plea of not guilty of murder IN
the first degree to that of guilty of murder
in the second degree. The Judge accepted
his plea of guilty and sentenced him to
Saltwater for life KartZerski, when sen
tence was pronounced, remained, to all out
ward appearances, calm and unconcerned
as before. He was taken back to his CELL
and will be sent to Saltwater immediately.
The reason that no defense was offered was
probably on account of the overwhelming
evidence of the prosecution. Had the case
gone to the jury verdict of guilty would
most certainly have been rendered, and the
general opinion is that in this case the priS-
Oner would have suffered the death penalty.
AS it is he escapes with his life. This is
one of the most important criminal cases
ever tried in the district court here.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Railroad accidents are occurring with a
little too much frequency for the comfort of
the travelling public. An accident is nearly
always the result of careleSsneSs. 1t occa-
sionaliy happens that a rail- breaks or slips
from place, or that the accident is the re-
suit of broken wheel or some cause which
could not have been prevented, But in the
great majority of cases the accident results
from negligence or inattentiOn on the part
of some one who fills a responsible
post on the line of the road. The Rio dis
aster occurred from failure to close a
switch. and the accident on the Northern
Pacific road yesterday was the result of the
criminal stupidity of some one in either
falling to give the proper instructions o. in
falling to understand them when given.
Every now and then there is a species
of dare devil recklesSueSS manifested by
train men, which ought to receive the
severest penalties of the law. There has
been entirely too much leniency in respect
to these olfenses. and the time has come
when the travelling public must protect
itself by appealing to the courts for the
strict enforcement of laws regulating the
running of railway trains, and asking for
the severest punishment to be meted out
to those who violate the laws.
