MORE BOND OPINIONS.

Prominent Citizens of Allegheny Continue
to Write to Mayor Kennedy In Favor
Of His Street Eepavlng Projeot-Mf.
Eberhardt Disagrees.
Mayor Kennedy yesterday received
large number Of letters from taxpayers In
answer to his circular in relation to the is
suance of street repaving bonds The num-
Der received yesterday was about 40.
William A. Carr, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Union Trust Company, writes:

of North, Cedar and other avenues around
the parks the streets should not encroach
upon the pavements next to the park. re-
side on North avenue and know that many
property owners prefer that the street width
be left as it now is The south side pave
ment of North avenue is well shaded and a
favorite walk Of many. This is particularly
noticeable during church hours of Sunday"
2. Reymer the senior member of the
firm of Reymer & Bros, writes: "We not
only want good streets, but good light (not
tower lights) aud also good water, and
think the sooner we get them all the better
for us. We will not then have so many
vacant houses"
DR.. J. s. Phillips says: 'Let Us hare
good water, light and streets and the future
prosperity Of our city is assured"
From Judge w. D. Porter came the fol-
lowing: 'The suggestions contained in
your letter of the 9th inst. are without
doubt founded in good business sense. The
improvements indicated would be of pres
ent and lasting benefit to the municipality.
The financial plan proposed seems unob-
jectionable, and either that or one Of similar
nature ought to be adopted. In your efforts
for the advancement Of the interests of the
city all good citizens ought to sympathize."
John Huckestein, the contractor, ex-
presses his ideas in the following manner:
"If I may take the liberty would like to
suggest that where the streets are improved
the plan should contemplate first the laying
Of all pipes for water and gas, and connec-
tion made to the curb at each lot, whether
the lot is built on or not-thus to prevent
as far as possible the tearing up of
the paving. Where the lots are not built
on, the city could carry the cost of
this extension to the curb until such time
as the owner may build, aud then collect
from the owner a fixed charge for this e1-
tension"
William Eberhardt, the brewer, writes in
opposition to the measure. He does not
think it fair that all the city should be
taxed for the repav1ng of the streets in
favored parts Of the city.

TRICKS OF PILOTS,

How tho Navigators on the Missouri River
Kept Up Their wagea
"I remember" said David Garrett, of st.
Louis, yesterday, "when the pilots on the
Missouri river had grand combination and
kept up their wages to the top notch. They
used to charge $4,000 for trip of 60 days
up the stream and return. Whenever an
accident occurred all the pilots went into
court and swore that only man familiar
with the river could successfully guide
boat on it. The steamboat owners con-
cluded it must be 50, and for years little
coterie of men reaped q harvest on the

that any man who is judge of water can

tain any such luminosity towards President
CLEVELAND for his outspoken rebuke to
premature applicants as the Republican
carpers imagine. They appreciate his po-
sition and understand him exactly.
There may be some aspirants that are in
hurry to push forward their applications

CLEVELAND will not initiate some of his
Republican predecessors and give promises
of place before there is any vacancy. They
had better be patient and wait until the in
auguration before they present their
claims as the newly elected President
announces that premature applications will
only damage their cause
But after all, is not the position OF these
gentlemen who anticipate recognition for
services rendered the party" or other
wise, even if they have TO wait
until the President is iuaugurated
quite as pleasant and desirable as that
of their ieering antagonistsa If they have
to wait four months before filing their ap-
plications, is not that better than four
years with only a contingent and doubtful
prospect of anything to come even in that
timel How about disappointed ambitions

And on what are their future forlorn hopes
predicated! On possible Democratic blum
ders that have not yet been made, on the
overturning of party that has greater
probabilities of permanent success than
ever before for third OF century,
We do not think our Republican jibers
have any occasion for irony or caustic re-
marks about Democratic opportunities or
detentions. The gentlemen who are made
the targets of such squirt guns can well
afford to wait, aud spend their leisure time

Constitution Mending.

One result Of the late election in New
York is decision of the people against
amending the constitution of that state
There were three propositions submitted
to the voters: One to permit the sale of
the Onondaga salt springs; another to in
crease the number of justices of the su-
preme court; third TO refer legislative
contested election cases to the courts. in
stead OF leaving them to the decision of
the legislature. Only the last named is Of
general public interest, but none of them
prevailed.
1t is not good thing to tamper with the
organic act of 8 state or of the nation. Only
imperative necessity will Justify radical
change. The power to amend is very prop
erly vested in the people, so that when it
becomes requisite to the public good alter
atoms may be made or new provisions be
added. Also that the people, from whom
all rightful power springs in this country,
may adopt or prevent such changes, &C
cording to their sovereign will expressed
at the polls.
1t does not appear 20 he wise thing to
send contested election cases for members
Of the legislature 10 the courts of the
state. 1t is an established principle that
legislative bodies are the proper judges of
the qualifications of their own members
and OF the returns of their election. 1t is
true that partisanship often has strong
influence in such bodies. and that injustice
sometimes appears to be done because of
It But would matters be mended by
bringing politics into court. and tainting
the judiciary with suspicion OF the same
partisan coloring which is deplored in the
legislative branch Of the government
We think the citizens Of New York de-
cided wisely in leaving the matter where it
stands. II the legislature or any of its
members exhibits offensive craftsmanship
to the extent OF injustice or any manifest
urfairness, the remedy is in the hands of
the people, who can show their condemna-
ton OF such proceedings when they again
go TO the polls. Tinkering with constltu-
tions is usually not profitable work; better
let well enough alone.

Morsgaued Property.

A correspondent asks TIE HERALD to ex-
plain who is exempted from paying tax es
on mortgage. the holder of the mortgaged
property or the holder of the mortgage; he
says many others besides himself do not
understand the law on this subject.
The answer is: The property is In all
cases liable for the taxes upon it, whether
it is free or under mortgage. That is the
only safe rule. 1t is not the person who
holds the property but the property itself
that will be proceeded against in case of
failure of payment of taxes.
Under the old law the property was
liable for the tax and if it was
mortgaged the holder of the mortgage
had to pay taxes m the mort
gage. This double taxation was en-
forced. The last legislature relieved the
holder of the mortgage from this extra
taxation. This looks like legislation in
favor of the money lender and against the
borrower, helping the rich as against the
poor. But that is not the fact. The bor-
rover had no benefit under the old Law
more than under the new, and if the lender
was required to pay the tax instead of the
property owner, he would undoubtedly
provide for that in the interest demanded
for the capitalist generally keeps both
eyes open in a financial transaction.
The law as it stands simply makes one
tax on the property owner. and the prop
erty owner viii have to pay it or the col
lector will proceed TO sell the property.
