don II II 1t Ia psi for IL Our distiD guished
fellow townsmsn, Hon. y. II. Reynoldr,
who is equal to any proposition In any
place and at any time, communicated this
idea OF tho company to the city councils and
asked for a committee OF conference, which
was granted. We presume that the COM

The Contest for the Mayoralty.

MIR. Hewitt has fairly launched him
self upon New York as the candidate for
mayor Of one Democratic organization
and OF a citizens mass meeting. Mr..
Hewitt in accepting the nomination de.
clared that he did not want it, but was
bound to run because Tammany Hall
had not put up its own candidate ;
and Mr.. Hewitt thought that its candi-
date should not be mayor though the
man was good, the organization that
would own him was bad. 1t is a star
chamber, and not popular creation. 1t
Is trust in fact, in Mr.. HewiL's. opin.
ion /; and what could be worse ?
1t Is an amusing attitude for Mr..
Hewitt to take, because he has been a
Tammauy man and Tammany candi-
date often. For his present Office he had
IT, nomination. There is no doubt at all
OF Mayor Hewitt's honesty, sincerity and
force. The fact now undoubtedly is thu {
he finds Tammany Halls hand raise d
against him, and he will not
lst II strike him down, II he can help it..

The Daily InteIligencer.
The Collapsed Law.

Judge Paxson tells the Philadelphia
Press from Pittsburg that the suprms
court has filed no decision in the munich
pal Law case and declines to say what its
decision has been in advance Of such
filing. Such reticence, however, was
wholly unnecessary in view of the fact
that the opinion Of the court, in
the case Of Grant street, Lancaster,
which we printed in full yesterday, Ger.
tificate and all, declares that the mum.
cipal act of 1887 has been unanimously
decided to he unconstitutional, in Ayers
appeal. That the decision In the Ayers
appeal is not yet filed does not effect
the fact that it has been made. 1t is not
to be supposed that decision deliber-
ately and unanimously made is withheld
from record by the supreme court from
any doubt as to its correctness. 1t
must be assumed that it is not
aled because it is not fully writ
ten out, or for some other formal
cause that does not at all affect the
certainty of what it WILDE. Itiswrong,
Of course, for the supreme court to an.
nounce decision indirectly in another
case before the decision in the case itself
Is ready for filing. 1t twas piece of gross
carelessness. But now that the decision
has been thus announced it should be
promptly recorded, that the municipalitie:
affected may set their houses ip order.
We want to know just what has been
decided. The Grant street case seems
clearly enough to state that the act OF
1857 is unconstitutional; but there
may possibly he some saving ex'
ceptions in the decision itself. II
the act is unconstitutional alto
gether, Of course it is as though il
was never passed and every act don't
under it is void. Every officer elected o.
appointed under 1t is out of Office and ha
never lawfully be in office. Those whit
occupy offices that no other person cal
claim under the old law, will hold on Il
their offices aud be the dc fdcto official
until someone with better right present
himself to claim them.
The day of election under the new Law
is the same rs under the old, the third
Tuesday in February and the day upon
which the new officers take their places
is the same, the first Monday in April
The term of the former mayor had there
fore expired when the present mayo
was inaugurated, and his election took
place on the proper day. Their
seems to be good ground therefore for tn
opinion the city solicitor is said to ex
press that the mayor will hold his otlic
for the two year term under tn
old law, though he was electe
for four year term under I'll
new. But the city councils are different
constituted under the new law and
B would seem that its collapse will carr
the council down with it, along with a
the new officials it created.

The Turnnike Qnesflan.

The Board of Trade has listened to an
able presentation Of the objections to the
proposed purchase of the turnpikes by the
county, and it is cheering to the friends
of the measure to find the best effort Of
their opponents so extremely feeble in
eQl1 worth .SSfsIp.c SSfs Ifpa.ct or argument. It's not
true lhiS roaas can not be well managed
by public officers, for they have been
and are SO managed all over the world,
and in fact toll. gates, along with other
customs of past ages, have been long for
gotten in many parts of the land. The
posed because good roads are a
benefit TO the whole county, and
the whole county should pay for
them. The traffic on them should
be encouraged and not taxed rs il
is at present. The farmer who brings
his produce to town through toll gate
must make good his loss elsewhere. His
customers really pay his toll. The do.
velopment of our town has been held in
check by this tax on traffic, o tax that at
eQne time was justiliab!e and wise, but is
now driving our country people to other
towns that can be reached over free roads.
The poor farmers who pay this tax would
hardly object to proposal that it should
be shared by the people of the city who
profit by it. As matters are, no farmer
will pay toll to get into the town if he
can do his business as well elsewhere free.
Under the proposed freedom of the roads
our city will be at no such disadvantage.
The county will not object to removal
OF this tax on traffic, which will fall more
lightly than the present toll upon every
poor farmer who must use the pixies. Mr..
Eshleman argues that the benefit of the
measure to townships now having roads
will be greater than to those that
have none. And SO will the cost be
greater, for they will have to keep
up the roads. There is nothing in
the point any way. The govern
ment improves rivers and harbors,
though few own ships; it keeps up an
expensive consular force in the interests
of few citizens abroad, and in thou
sand ways appears to tax citizens for ser.
vices that can only affect them remotely.
The state and county maintain asylums
and jails that are filled more from the
town than from the country, and more
from one section than another, yet all
are taxed alike and there is no injustice.
Mr.. Herr gave the advocate of toll-gates
an awkward topic when he asked him
to consider how the measure would at
feet the county as whole. That is
the way the matter must be considered,
and what is good for the whole county
must in tfeela be good for any part.

The old Adam is raised within him and

horse he shifts the battle from afar,

not the crucial question in the issue with
Mayor Hewitt; it interests him more to

Fortunately the contest Of the mayors
is not likely to affect the presidential con-
test. Both candidates for mayor and
their fpartisans sustain the Democratic
state and national tickets. The Republic

will be in their favor; but 1t cannot be
