Not the PrOper Thing

The Brush Electric Light Co, accord.
ing to Manager J. r Johnston, proposes
TO stand on its rights with respect to the
vexstious tower at Mitchell & Lynde's
corner. 1t was located there by the
council and the company has a contract
TO supply lights there which runs to next
December; consequently there is live
property interest in it. The city can, he
says, remove it only at its own risk and
will be held responsible for all damage
and loss sustained. The city council has
an undoubted right to order the company
to remove the tower after the contract
expires, but until then things look lit,
tie dubious Union.
Ii the above outlines the course to be
pursued by the Brush company, as it no
doubt does, bearing as it appears to, the
authority of the manager, the company is
not disposed to show the accommodating
spirit that should characterize a corpora
ton doing business with the city. If the
Brush company proposes to put on airs
with the city and hold it to the strict
letter OF the law, on its transac-
tions with the city, it is showing dispoe
sition that is not calculated to make it
friends either with the council or with the
public at large. Instead OF aiding as it
should public improvement, and shows
ing Its good will toward the city by re.
moving the tower. it simply says the
tower must stand, and if the city damages it
it will be held responsible. What is the
city to do in the premises? The
tower stands In the way of Mitchell
81 Lynde's proposed building improve
ments. Evidently the only thing the
city can do is to make the best ar
rangement possible for the removal
OF the tower and when the pres
ent contract which is so oppressive to the
city expires order the towers out of the
way entirely. In this one case at least
the system has proved an Internal stiff
necked nuisance and hindrance to pub
lie improvements.

A Policc'nan's Impetuous Action Which
Cost the City IA Quarter.
Policeman Hennifn, active and watch
fUl of the public welfare, saw a cabman
whipping a horse.
"What are you doing there" the POI
liceman called.
Don't you see what l am doinr?"
YES, do"
Then why do you ask me-
''Gou impudent rascal, | II run YOU in. y
The policeman got i'll the cab and ord
cred the fellow to drive TO the Harrison
street station. The next morning the
cabman was arraigned before court, and
when the judge asked who had made the
arrest, Hennifin stepped forward and
said:
Your honor, | saw this man whipping
his horse and arrested him."
And your honor" the c;bman broke
in, Il whipped him because he kicked
me. There's not a man in this town
that's been kinder to horse than I've
been to this one, and under the circum-
stances had right to whip HIM"
THAT may be- the judge answered,
but | am compelled to fine you, even
though the amount be merely nominal.
| will therefore assess your fine at fifty
cents"
''All right" the cabman replied, and l
wish to present a bill for seventy-five
cents against the city
What for:' the judge asked.
For hauling this policeman to the sta
ton"
Did he bring you in his cab?" the
jddge asked of the policeman
Your honor, | arrested him, and in
stead of calling a patrol wagon thought
the easiest way would be to have him
drive down here and
Give him seventy-ffve cents said
the judge.
The cabman received the money,
placed fifty cents on the judges desk,
put twenty-five cents in his own pocket,
grinned at Policeman Henniiin and
strobe out.-Arkansaw Traveller.
