War on Telegraph Poles.

BALTIMORE BUSINESS MEN MAKING DETERMINED
FIGHT.
William Reed, prominent business man and
member of the firm of Morton, Reed & Co.,
was arrested in Baltimore Saturday, charged
with maliciously destroying the prop
erty of the International Telegraph Dis
trict Construction Co. The case, which will be
heard on Thursday is an outcome of the fight
of the merchants of the dry goods district
against the telegraph poles. These poles have
been nuisance in that locality for long time,
and when the construction company few DAYS
ago planted pole in the pavement before the
store of Morton, Reed & Co. the firm came to
the conclusion that forbearance had ceased to
be virtue. delegation called upon the
mayor and upon the police commissioners.
Mayor Latrobe instructed City Solicitor Carter
to sue out an injunction restraining the COM
pany from erecting any more electric light
poles along the streets. The employees of Nor
ton. Reed Co., however. decided to take the
initiative in the war upon the poles and sawed
down the piece of timber before their store.
Their triumph was short lived. William A.
Dunn. president of the construction company.
gathered a force Of men and on Friday night
regretted the Objectionable pole The arrest
followed Saturday. The business men express
their determination to defend Mr. Reed and
to push the matter. 1t is interesting fight.

THE decision of Vice Chancellor Bird,
OF New Jersey, decreeiDg void legacy
Of $50, 900 left By deceased admirer to
Henry George for the propagation OF his
land theories, is Significant as marking
the uttermost limit to which the law has
been carried in its disapprovsl Of social
istic teachings. The right to dispose OF
property as the testator msy see ut is,
under the American system of iarispru
dence, almost without Limitation, and
though Chancellor Birds decisionwill meet
with the approval Of conservative minds, 1T
is without precedent in the American re-
ports. 1t is founded on the principle that
the law ought not to be invoked to pre-
mote lawlessness-s declaration so sound
and timely that it will meet with hearty
amen from the peaceIloving, lsw-abiding
classes of the country.

THE ncmirsticn of "Bob" Taylor for
Governor of Tennessee, which was &C
complished lgseg long deadlock in the
Democratic convention points significant
ly to the decadence Of the power Of the
"bosses," who have ruled the party n
Tennes see for 8 quarter OF century.
Governor Taylor incurred the hostility OF
these at the outset by his failure to take
from them, as the ancient oracles OF the
party, the policies to be pursued by bis
administration, and his political
ruin was confidently announced more
than year ago. The ukase condemning
the independent young Governor to polit-
lea, ou,lswry is said to have issued from
Senator Harris, who has long played an
autecratic part in Tennessee politics
But the Governor was renominated and
now the Senator will have to face sharp
contest for his own seat. 1t looks az If
movement was impending all along the
Democratic line to bring the alleged
holders of pocket boroughs into cour'
on an issue to try the right OF property.

In 1883 there will be In st. Louis no
New Yorker to mention any other name
than that OF Cleveland, and. ouE delega-
ton will carry, not merely tformal prom
Use, but.the hearty resolve Of every Dem
ocrat that the Presidents state shsll sur
pass all others in Its msj oritY for the
Democratic electors.
Mr.. Coudert, in his ectric speech on
taking the chair, auspiciously alluded to
the great meeting held in the Academy Of
Music in celebration Of the victory OF
1884, and the convention in its choice OF
electors to represent the state at large
selected four eminent Democrats, insep-
arably associsted with the triumph OF
that year. Mr.. Cooper, Mr.. Flower, MI.
Chspin and Mr.. 4 vines typify Democratic
harmony based on the principles which
Clevslxnd's administration illustrates,
and out Of which his first candidacy arose.
The resolutions adopted are simple,
sound, practical and eloquent, ald renew
the famous assn ,ances Of recent Demo-
cratic conventions, state and national, on
which the country has placed reliance Is
guarantees of freedom, progress and
prosperity.
Appreciation Of sound and successful
state administration WAS wisely united
with eulogium Of national policy, and the
Star may of good right take special pride
in the clear enuncIation Of Democratic
adherence of the infamous plot to de-
base the suffrage against which the warn
ing voice OF this journal was long raised
