A Forgotten Principle.

A city has the right to irTpoS
charges upon corporations or other
for the use of its streets against al,
powers given such corporations by
All act of Congress. This seems to be
in effect the recent decision OF the
United States Supreme Court, uphold
ing an ordinance of the city of St.
Louis imposing a franchise tax of SIS
on each pole put up i'll the streets of
the city by the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. The lower court had de-
cided 10 the contrary, holding that
the power given the telegraph COM
pany to condemn a right of way over
postroads covered the case in question.
This decision of the supreme court is
of particular Importance in giving the
sanction of high authority to the
the principle that the public streets
are public property, and their use by
telegraph, railway, gas add like cor
porations is as properly made n SUBJ
ject of rental charges OIL franchise
taxes as is the use by private interests
of the city hall or any other public
property. 1t is a principle which has
been ignored too long and too gener-
ally in most American cities.-Spring-
field, (Mass) Republican.

A late Madrid dispatch contains the

this disease is notorious, and she would
not willingly go to any place where she

This dread. it may be said, is common
to all SraniarGs. Moreover, the ex-

anything ever witnessed at Bavreuth:
indeed" said Mr.. Seidl, "here will be
realized all that Wagner dremed of;
the rainbaw, for instance, which al

that this summers experiment would
ultimately lead to a grand American
