An Important Decision.

The Supreme court handed down
decision Wednesday which is of great
importance to Kenosha. Unrelated to
the status of electric interurban rail
ways and is of Importance to Kenosha
mainly for the fact that there is now
pending in the common council fran
chise ordinance for just such railway.
The main purpose of the decision
was to settle the matter of an injunc-
ton asked for by the Chicago & North
Western railway company, but in CIV
ing its reasons for remanding the case
to the circuit court with instructions
to grant the injunction asked for, the
court held in effect that the Milwaukee,
Racine & Kenosha Electric Street rail
way was commercial railway and
that a commercial railway in the pub
lie streets would tend to obstruct and
interfere with the ordinary use of the
streets, making an additional burden
" Ci1O dOuUCIbS p4OpOAOJ Wv hOA0f ~
which they are entitled to compen-
sation. Stripped of all unneces-
sary verbiage this means that
if the electric road proposes to carry
personal baggage, mail, express or any
class of freight, it is of the same class
as the steam railroads and must pay
for its right of way, because it is a dis
tinct damage to the abutting property
owners.
The franchise ordinance now pending
expressly provides that the company
may carry small packages and freight
and the court, by inference at least,
held that there is no drawing of lines
between what is light freight and what
is any other kind.
The effect OF this decision will I'M
doubtedly be to stop all further pro-
ceedings of the Kenosha council until
the electric road company can amend
its articles of Incorporation so as to
eliminate all the freight carrying pro-
visions.

it is impossible tor him to give as much

O'Donnell has made a first class COM

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY shows every
evidence of being willing to carry out
the pledges of the platform upon which
he was elected. The campaign was
mainly fought on the question of BIZ
metallism. The great mass of Ameri-
cans are bimetallists, but the serious
break between the parties last fall
simply concerned the method by which
it should be brought about. Mr.. Nc
Kinley held that it should come by in
ternational agreement and he was
elected largely for that opinion. Now
he proposes to do what he can to bring
about such Engagement. In conformity
with this proposal he has selected
Senator E. O. Wolcott, of Colorado, c..
L. Paine, of Massachusetts,, and eX Vice
President Adlai E. Stevenson, of
Illinois. as special ENJOYS to various
foreign countries, for the purpose of
accommodating to see what can be done.
uO DlG0IOCuU uCLO G1O w OCOA1
an international conference on this
question and the appointment of these
ENJOYS is the first step in the matter.
They do not supercede any ambassa-
doris or ministers, but all the latter
officials must aid them all that in their
power lies. If the ground is ready for
an international agreement, as Senator
Wolcott had reason to believe it was
when on his recent junketing trip, and
such an agreement can be arrived at
to the satisfaction of the United States,
there will never be such battle fought
again in America as that fought last
fall. That is a consummation devoutly
to be hoped for.

singing was all good, especially that of

those who have heard much good read
ing to be the best heard in Kenosha in
years, Miss Leonard's reading was
also pronounced good. Every other
number on the program was heartily
received. The concert was an I'M

Road From Tburon to San
RnfdeL

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, March ia
boulevard having grade of not over per
cent is being constructed by the convicts
of San Quentin from the town of Tiburon
to San Rafael, the county seat OF Marin.
The boulevard will be one OF the finest in
the State, and is costing the county only
the trifling expense of maintaining a
guard ever the prisoners while they are at
work.
The boulevard will be thirteen miles in
length, and will, when completed, afford
an excellent track for bicyclists. At pres
ent sixty cohvicts, under tho direction of
the State Board of Prison Directors. are
employed on the boulevard, which is
thirty feet in width, and has been COM
pleted from San kaiael to Green Brea sta
tion, on the San Francisco and North Pa
cific Railway, some three miles.
President A. W. Foster of the railway
company has signified his intention of
hauling rails to Green Brea free of charge
for the construction Of tramway which
is to be built across the marsh, and from
which cars with loads of rock and dirt will
discharge.
There will be connection between the
Sausalito-L Lime Point boulevard and the
Tiburon-San Rafael road when they are
completed, and Marin County will possess
highways equaling the best in California.
