this NAV be- il seems TO us that the con-
tinued operation Of the road may itself be
regarded sufficient consideration for the
extension of the franchise.
This ordinance is also attacked upon the
ground that il was never formally accepted
By the company. There is really nothing
In this contention. No formal resolution OF
acceptance is necessary in any case, If the
facts show an actual practical acceptance
by the company. We are also Of the opinion
that acceptance may be presumed from the
fact that the amendment was beneficial to
the corpora ton. There is nothing in the So
called electrical ordinance which affects
law OF the State permitting electricity 10 be
used. and it is now claimed that the Com
mon Council exceeded it's powers in au-
thorizing this change to be made.
1--WE are. therefore. of the opinion that
the complainant company had valid con-
tract with the city under the original or
dnance of Jan. Is. 1864. amended by the
ordinance of April z 1880. which will not
expire until Jan. IS, 1901, and that the
"a. 1893. with the defendant com
pany is invalid in so far it
may be construed to interfere with the
complainant in the construction, operation
and maintenance of its street-car system
in the city of Indianapolis. But as we are
not called upon 10 express an opinion
whether the complainant is entitled TO a
perpetual franchise for the city, the decree
of the court below must be modified by
striking out from the second paragraph the
words, Without regard to any limitation of
time mentioned in any ordinance of the
city and also the word forever and SO
modified, it is affirmed"

A Victory for Law.


The attitude OF the Indianapolis Street
railroad Company in resisting the enforce
ment Of the 3-cent-fare law was entirely
indefensible. The law having been enacted
by the Legislature, the company had no
right to violate it on the ground of alleged
unconstitutionality, which could be de-
termined only by the courts. While tenn
porary injustice may result from the rigid
enforcement OF law. a lava biding COM
munity ought not TO tolerate any other
course. If a corporation deriving its power
from the State be allowed 10 defy the law
of the State, the same privilege must be
extended TO all citizens and of course the
result would be that all law would be
treated with contempt That would be an
archy. The citizens OF the Hoosier capital
have compelled the company to obey the
law until the constitutionality of the act
shall be determined by the court of last
resort. The surrender of the company Is
a. victory for the enforcement of law and
that is mere important than the reduction
of fares on Indianapolis street cars.

OHICdBO IOSI.
After a brief and but partially success
full resistance the street-railway company
of Indiana polls has decided that discretion
is the better part of valor. This is a re-
spectacle conclusion, backed by manifold
precedent and eminent authority. The
company Is entitled to fight the 3-cent-fare
law in the courts and use all legal means in
securing its rejection but it is not entitled
TO defy the Legislature and resort TO wha [
is equivalent to revolution on a small scale.
But while the company has retreated from
