preme court has denied the petition for
a rehearing in the case of the city Of
Spokane VS.. Stevens. This case. by the

be brought to collect assessments for
street grades. The court, in its decis-
ion, held that the limitation is two
years.
CThe case Of the city against Stevens
is but one of hundred cases brought
two years ago to collect assessments on
street grades. The case was contested
in the superior court, the court hold
ing that the defendant was entitled TO
Judgment for costs, the plaintiff having
no case, since the statute of limitation
had run before the commencement of
the action. From this decision the city
appealed. The matter of the statute of
limitation on this question having been
settled in other cases Of like kind in
the supreme court, it was not expected
that the court would grant petition
for rehearing. having once decided the
question. During the past month or six
weeks a large number of these cases
have been dismissed a plaintiffs costs

Eonored 10y a public monument in this city.
He is Thomas Moore, the Irish poet.

The Germans OF New York. less numer-
ous and perhaps less active in the direc-
lion Of putlic affairs. are represented by
The statues of Humboldt. Beethoven. and
Schiller. The Schiller statue Vas erected
ia SO, The Humboldt statue in 1863,
and the Beethoven statue in SSl. The
Schiller and Humboldt statues were erected
with Contributions from Germans generally;
.he Beethoven statue was erected with
a fund contributed by the German Manner
riior.
The Scotch residents of New York, few
in number but of much public spirit, are
represented 10y the Scott and the Burns
statues; the Italians, by the AaZZini statue
IN Central Park, the Garibaldi statue in
Washington square, and the Columbus
statue at The Filty-ninth street circle of
Broadway and Eighth avenue. The Swedish
residents OF New York are represented by
the John Ericsson statue, erected at the
Battery in April, 1898; The French resi-
dents, by the statue OF Lafayette IN Union
Square; the South American residents of
Spanish ancestry, by the Bolivar statue
in Central Park, west side, near Eighty
first street, and the Danish residents, by
the ThOrwalsden statue at Fifty-ninth
street and Seventh avenue
Just why the Irish residents of New York
are not represented more largely among the
permanent monuments in New York has
never been clearly made known. Perhaps
the inartistic and unsatisfactory character
OF some OF the public statues erected 10y the
representatives of other nationalities have
induced the Irish TO withhold their par
ticipation in such a contest as the setting up
OF new statues would invite. Ii is certainly
fromn0 lack offituBg subjects, either among
thepatTiotic Irishmen of their country or The
Irishmen conspicuously represented in the
achievements OF American arms.
John Barry. the first commodore of the
United States Navy, was born at Tacum-
schane; Richard Mont gomery ma lor general
in the revolutionary war, was born at
Raphoe, and the military commanders of
irish nativity ON the Union side in the
civil war were distinguished and numer-
Gus. There is one statue OF an Irishman
however, which, although not included in
the official list OF monuments established
i'm public places, perpetuates the memory
Of one of the most remarkable and Illus
iriOus of the Irish-born residents Of this
city. The man is Archbishop John Hughes,
