A CITY BRINGS SUIT.
Rochester Wants to Cancel its
Rochester & st. Paul Bonds.

Rochester Wants to Cancel its
Rochester & st. Paul Bonds.
The city of Rochester began an ac-
ton yesterday in the district court
against Robert A. Smith and the Roches-
ter & st. Paul Railway COMPANY for
the recovery of bonds to the amount of
$500
On the 4th of October last the Roches7
ter * st. Paul Railway company was
incorporated, and representatives of the
company went to RocheSter-a town of
1000 inhabitants and asked that itis-
sue bonds to the amount named, to be
turned over to the company when the
work should be completed and ready to
be equipped with rolling stock. The
bonds were to be delivered to Robert A.
Smith, of st. Paul, to be by him turned
over to the road when so completed
from Rochester to WaSioia, provided
the road should be completed by Sept,
/. 1890. A further understanding is
claimed to have existed to the effect that
the road was not to lease, to sell to or
consolidate with the Ghicago'& North
western or the WinOna IL st. Peter
roads.
An election to issue the bonds was
held, and they were issued, paybie in
Unity WIFI CcUO lIiICIcSJ.
They were signed by the mayor, o. S..
Porter, and Elmer G. Yetter, city re-
cOrder, and delivered to Robert A.
Smith on Dec. 26 last.
1t is claimed that there was no proper
registration of voters or election held
authorizing the issue of bonds, and shat
their issue is void for the additional
reasons that no return to the city is
made in the way of providing that the
city shall be entitled to stock in the
company equivalent to the value of the
bonds, or for any amount; the bonds do
not contain the provision as to forfeiture
by leasing, selling or consolidating with
competing lines.
1t is claimed that the common council
did not authorize the mayor and re-
corder to sign the bonds, or to aftiX the
seal of the city thereto.
The complaint charges that the mayor
and recorder secretly and surrepti-
tiously, without the knowledge of the
common council or city attorney, took
the bonds to st. Paul and delivered
them to Robert A. Smith. The bonds
being negotiable, the court is asked TO
restrain Smith from delivering them to
the railway company. 1t is also asked
that the railroad company may be re-
strained from negotiating the bonds,
and thus prevent their going into the
hands of innocent holders, but that the
present custodian be required to sur
render them to the proper authority to
be cancelled

THE LAW is LEGAL
Creating the Board Of Public
Works, but Testimony Varies
. Widely

w lIGly.
Judge Kelly has rendered decision
in the appeal of James Stinson in the
matter OF assessment of benefits, dam
ages, etc, on account of widening and
extending Chestnut street. The court
decides that the board OF public works
had jurisdiction in the case; that the
valuation of the property, as made by
the board, is not fair valuation or an
impartial assessment, and orders the as
SesSment, in SO far as it relates to Stin-
son, annulled.
The court in holding that the law CIV
ing the board of public works the power
to condemn land in such cases is con
stitutional, remarks that it is a law the
justice of which is forcibly illustrated
i'll this case. The board awarded Stin-
son $1,000 as damages, and assessed his
benefits at So, 800, leaving him net bal
ance of $500. StinSon testified upon
this appeal that his damage was S276.-
600, while five other witnesses testified
to the damages, the lowest estimate
being SS4. 000-S171, 900 being the high
est. If the court should assume the re-
sponsibility of fixing the damages upon
the testimony offered it would amount
to a confiscatiOn of surrounding prop
erty for the purpose of paying the dam
ages claimed. 1t would be Impossible
for the board of public works to find
property benefited to the extent claimed
by the testimony. The law is held to
be valid, and the board of public WORKS
Is the proper body to assess the dam
ages and benefits.

THE STRIP AROUND COMO

Rights.

Caused by the Recession of Water,
Jeopardizes the City's Riparian
Rights.
At the meeting Of the park commits
sion held yesterday afternoon there was
a large representation of property
owners, interested in the Ridgewood
park matter. The first business taken
up was that of the Como boulevardS, in
connection with which a communication
was read from Gordon b. Cole. The
communication pointed out that the
claiming by the property holders along
the lake shore OF the strip of land left
by the receding of the lake would inter-
pose linz between the proposed boule-
ward and the lake. thus robbing the city
of all riparian rights in the case. 1t
was also shown that if the residents
along the shore Of the lake persist in
claiming this intervening space, the en-
terprise must be abandoned until further
legislation can be had. With regard to
the Lincoln park, Mr. Gordon had called
Oh the city attorney about it, and that
dignitary had expressed a desire to
confer with the attorney of the board
on all such matters. Further proceed
ings III the matter will be postponed
until after the nearing of the mandamus
proceedings in the Roche case.
After good deal of discussion as to
the line TO be taken by the boulevard,
the following reSoi ution was offered by
Commissioner Stevens and adopted:
Resolved, That the superintendent be and
is hereby instructed to report at the next
meeting OF this board line for the Boule-
ward around Lake Como varying from that
heretofore approved. as follows to-wit: BY
following the line OF Lexington avenue from
where said boulevard strikes said avenue on
the east to the line of Como Park; also by
running from the west line of lot 8, of Strand
addition No. ., at the intersection of the
light red line upon the accompanying plat
thence along said light red line easterly to
the west line of Como avenue for further
consideration at that time.
Several of those property owners who
had been assessed for Ridgewood Park
were heard against the assessment.
No action could be taken however,
there being only five members of the
board present, six being necessary to
resembling of former action.

Some Of the Prominent Measures Pro-
posed by the Alliance, and What
Their Success Is OOndl-
TONED upon.
CURRENCY REFORM.

One of the chief methods proposed by
the Alliance for the betterment of the
peoples condition is an increase of the
currency volume, with provision at
tached requiring the government to call
in aud cancel the bank notes and issue all
currency thereafter to the people direct.
What will increase Of the currency do2
It will raise the price Of the farmers
farm, his hogs, cattle, wheat, corn, pota-
toes and everything which he owns or
prepares for sale. What else will il do?
II will raise the price Of the sugar trusts
sugar, the coal monopollsts COAL the COT
fee kings coffee and everything which
the farmers must buy That is, money
will become cheap and everything other
than money will become dear This Is a
point take for granted will be admitted,
hence l shall not occupy time TO try TO
prove IL.
The question then arises, will the farm
er be benefited by currency increase? SO
far as it relates to the exchange Of his
products for such products Of others as he
must have, he will not, His products will
bring him no more goods after the in
crease of the currency than they did be-
fore the increase. He will get more money
for his products, it is true but as the
commodities Of others as well as his own

where the Alliance Exchange will effect
favorable change In the price Of com
mOditles, but these instances will bo the
exception. In the main while, an array
Of trusts exist prices will be trust.helgh-
tened and trust-depressed TO suit the
managers OF said trusts
THE sUB-TREAsuRY.
A third chief method proposed by the
alliance is the construction OF ware.
houses wherein tho agriculturists can
store their products and use them Oh So
curity for obtaining cash advances
thereon.
What will the sub'treasury plan doH
IL will supply the farmer with cash TO
meet his pressing needs, thereby reliev-
ing him Of the necessity TO sell upon
downward market OF before the time is
Opportune, and It will enable him TO
profit by such other advantages as the
sub-treasury plan is calculated TO give
What will the sub.tTeasury plan not
doP IL will not prevent the formation Of
Touring mill combines, and cotton goods
rings and exporters trusts and kindred
organizations TO prevent the farmer from
realizing fair price upon his products
though he held on to them the season
through. The farmer could not hold on
TO his product forever. Trustmakors are.
people who can afford TO wait and wait
they would until they got the farmers
product at trust depressed prices,
What are the conclusions, now, to be
drawn from che aboveH There are two,
both OF which, In my opinion, il is Inn
portant 10 keep in view;
/. The @lccesS of the methods above
referred TO are conditional upon the sap.
preston Of the trusts.
2. Legislation for the suppression Of
the trusts must bo kept abreast with leg
islation upon the other subjects.
Legislation upon the other subjects
without a provision destructive Of the
trusts would be bad thing for the cause
Of reform. In that event attempted re-
lief In other directions would be obstruct-
cd TO such a degree and rendered so
futile by the actions Of the trust-malxers
as 10 render the people entirely disheart-
ened and averse TO looking further for re.
lief measures, at least for many years to
come, Indeed II might be impossible 10
again rally them around the standard Of
reform until il became forever too late.
Let us therefore keep the suppression Of
the-trust Issue we'll TO the front.
l want now to say a word or two in re.
gard TO something else. Mr. Geo. Thomp-
son, in the March 18th number Of The
ADVOCATE, says, In the course OF his re-
marks, "We think many alliances are in
. state Of inactivity. We know
Of important questions reaching certain
alliances that have not been discussed,
SCARCELY respected" What / want to
