AS TO SIDEWALKS.
A Query and an Answer-The Law of Il
Matter

A Query and an Answer-The Law of the
Matter.
EDITOR FREETRADER-The dispar
aging remarks of strangers concern
ing the mud and coal dirt sidewalks
of this city has given rise to a dispute.
Does the city charter give the city
power to compel property owners to
put down sidewalks, which power is
exercised in other cities in this state,
or is it the citys duty to put down
sidewalks? Will you please publish
the law on the subject, and settle this
much disputed question, on which
there seems to be so much doubt and
differences of opinion. READER.
This question was made the subject
of an enquiry by Mr.. w. II. Stead
while city attorney, and upon his
opinion was based the subsequent ac-
tion of the city council on the side
walk question.
1t appears, from the report made by
Mr.. Stead, and from an opinion of the
Supreme Court, in the case of White 4.
The People ex rel. the city of Blooming
tom, that the statutory provision Civ
ing cities authority to build sidewalks
by special assessment Is constitutional
and valid.
The city council may, therefore, or
der by ordinance, lot owners to build
sidewalks in front of their premises
,, which shall conform to the standard
fixed by the city as to grade, width
and character of material to be used.
The ordinance shall specify the char
acter of the walk, the time within
which it may be built by the lot owner;
and in case the owner fails the city
may construct the walk as specified in
the ordinance and assess the cost to
the lot, which cost shall be collected
by the county treasurer as all delin-
quent taxes are collected by him.
There is, then, full power lodged in
the city council to compel the build
ing and maintenance of good, dry and
safe sidewalks, eveniflOtOwne them
selves refuse to do so. This the coun-
Gil has already done in several in
stances during the past year, and
should do so more frequently during
the season to come.

THE PEDELTY FAMILY.
The Son John IL Insane, but the Mothe
Is Not

Two members of the Pedelty family
were tried In the county court late
Tuesday afternoon for insanity. The
son, John. was found to be insane and
the mother, Jane Pedelty. was found
to be sane. The husband and father
was the complainant. The family
lives in North Streator, and the sons
are all coal miners. John Pedelty is
IS years old and has already been in
the insane asylum. According to his
fathers testimony he lies in bed all
day long and won't work and has
strange fancies about certain things.
Mrs. Pedelty gave her age as SO years
and said she was troubled with strange
noises which disturbed her sleep. The
jury went out to deliberate, but the
court called them in and stated the
evidence did not prove the lady in
sane, and they should bring in YER
dict accordingly.
Mrs. Pedelty will return to Streator
but she told the Court she did not like
to see her poor boy taken to the asy'
lum. Old man Pedelty did not like tC
see his wife taken to the asylum, but
unless she desisted from threatening
to kill their daughter Sarah, 1t
would make another complaint.

If Mr.. Blaine had seen the west as saw it
in 1888, when more than three-quarters Of
such states as Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri were untouched by the pillow, and
all beyond was magnificent but well nigh
trackless wilderness, and should see it as it
now is, he would not attribute the growth of
the United States to protection, nor would
he undertake to sustain his favorite theory
by comparing that growth to the slower
growth of the United Kingdom.
No one can tell what would have been the
condition of the country if the tariff had
been radically changed at the close of the
civil war, but this we do know, that its
present condition is not healthy. 1t is the
greatest producing country in the world,
and therefore needs the widest markets for
its productions. With all needed markets
open to it, it has no well defined and mu-
tually profitable trade even with South
America. Its manufactures as well as its
agricultural productions exceed not only tho
home demand, but what is left to it Of the for
eign demand, and as its productions are in
creasing more rapidly than the demand for
them, it is impossible for me to see where
relief is to come from except from increase
Of our foreign trade, which can only be
brought about by a reform of the tariff.
As have said, we do not know what
would have happened if the policy Of the
government in regard to import duties bad
been changed twenty years ago, but IL ID
clear to my mind that il the nation Of the
greatest producing power does not hold the
keys Of the worlds commerce, il she does not
make the nations her commercial tributaries,
the fault must be her own. Precious time
has been lost and immense sacrifices have
been made to build up and sustain one great
branch of national industry, but such are the
resources Of the country and the energy Of
the people that, with wiser legislation, which

" MUSH-HEAD BILL"

Once More Behind the Bars on Charge
of Felony.
An ex-eonvict named William ]. Taylor,
but who is known as Mush-head Bill, !"
was arrested early yesterday morning on
charge of assault with deadly weapon.
1t is alleged that the accused went into
saloon at the junction of Eddy and Market
streets and engaged in drinking bout with
several young men. Finally Taylor tried
to induce young man named John Bowlan
to 60 away with him. Bowlan objected
and Taylor at last went out and waited by
the door until the person in question came
out, which was in about half an hour.
Then, it is charged, Taylor rushed at
him and slashed him severely in the face
with a pocket-knife. The keen blade cut
an ugly cash across the left cheek to the
point of the jaw-bone. After this Taylor
threw off his overeoat aud coat and started
to run I'D Powell street. but was caught by
Officer Atkinson.
About fourteen years ago Taylor shot and
killed q gambler known as doc" O'Neill,
at the corner of Bush and Kearney streets.
He was sent to the San Quentin Prison,
but through "inf1uence was released after
serving three years. He has since then
been arrested ON several minor charges,
but ESCAPED punishment.

the previous mark of 2:31 from their bull
letin, officially announced Benefactor's
record as 29A.
This places another Palo Alto half
thoroughbred horse in the 2:30 list, and
makes him standard, and adds another
argument to Senator Stantord's theory in
favor of the thoroughbred cross in breeding
trotters.
The second heat, after some more tedious
scoring, was also taken by Benefactor, who
acted much steadier until entering the
stretch, when both he aud the Queen had
quite running match, the gelding going all
over the track. Time, 2:33A,
