As To ShOveling Snow.

Persons who have lame backs from
shoveling snow from their sidewalks
may be interested in recent decision by
Chief Justice Blodgett, of New Hamp-
shire. In the case of the Commonwealth
versus Jackman he held that it is in con-
travention of the 18th amendment of the
United States constitution for a munich
pality to pass law requiring household
ers to shovel snow from the sidewalks in
front their houses. The amendment
quoted by the learned justice reads: "No
State shall make or enforce law which
shall abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States"
| Justice B)odgett holds that as a sidewalk
is part of a public street, municipalities
cannot impose on any citizen the duty of
keeping it clear of distractions, and have
no power to fine him for refusing to do
so. But don't throw away your snow
shovel on account of this. New Hamp-
shire decisions are not binding in Penn
sylvania, though they are sometimes
comforting. PatsbuTg News.
So far as the shoveling goes it looks
like good common sense if the sidewalks
are part Of the public streets. But ad-
mitting that, then property owner cam
not be compelled to build or keep in re-
pair the sidewalk in front ofhis property.
And right here developes the best COM
mon sense. The sidewalk is as much a
public thorofare as tie middle of the
street, and is dedicated to and used by
the public. In one portion of a town
walks are laid in another they are not.
In one portion of town walks are kept
in good repair. In another they are not.
In other words one property holder is
compelled to do what another is not. II
the snow shoveling decision is good law,
the further contention certainly is. And
we hope the time will come when a mu-
nicipality will have to construct and care
for the walks on the sides of the streets
the same as it does for the street ITSELF

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President McKinley's annual mes
sage was delivered to Congress oil
Monday. The document is quite
lengthy but exceedingly interesting
treating exhaustively as it does of the
momeutOus questions that have en-
gagged the minds of all the world with
in the past year. We give the mes
sage in supplemental form to-day,
aud since it is perhaps the best his
tory the country will ever have of
the causes which led up to the war
with Spain, as well as the conduct
and completion ofthe war, It should
be carefully read by all who have the
opportunity.

A New YORK weekly newspaper
has queer idea of what it calls "un.
necessary war taxes" One "oppres.
sive tax" to which it refers is that OF
one cent on every ticket for a seat in
a parlor or sleeping CIR. How the
poor people groan under this oppres.
sion is only hinted at, but the burden
must be tremendous. The Pullman
Company recently added millions Of
dollars to its already heavily watered
stock, and with all the "water" the
stock sells at 139, and large divi.
dends are paid regularly. As pas
seDgers do not p'y the tax on the
tickets, rates remain unchanged, the
oppressive burden oD the poor people
can we'll he imagined. The poor
brewers are also suffering because Of
the additional tax on beer. Their
profits are said to have been cut down,
so that dividends in some cases fall
below 20 per cent. Speedy relief
from such taxes is demanded. But
hard hearted Mr.. Diugley says that
no relief will be granted this Con.
gress. This is an awful state of af.
fairs.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor IL you cannot
get better price for il?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better.
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you ct the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent.
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass Judgment on them and use only the
better one.
