railway, like all other corporations. get
their rights from the State and apparently
get them Tor nothing. Nevertheless the
rights which are given them are supposed
to inure to the bsnetit OF the people. II
tho company, therefore, does not use the
tracks they should be vom Delled to take
them up and allow the street to be en-
ployed by those who would use II for the

Notwithstanding this, the city had no
right to declare the track abandoned. A
corporation can violate Its charter, but
IL is the state which must move and take
Its rights away. He said the Street aud

compel the railway company to put the
