An Old Pioneer In the City.

On Monday and Tuesday of this
week, Mr.. Jacob Belts of Wetmore,
was transacting business in this city.
Since 1859 Mr.. Belts has been a
prominent character in this county.
His first visit to Canon was in April
1862, at which time there were Is
inches of snow on the ground. At
one time he was in Pueblo on his way
to Denver, when he was approached
by a stranger who inquired if he
would carry $1,000 bill to Den
yer for him and bring the amount
back to him in smaller money. This
Mr.. Belts did. James A. McCandless
was the owner of the big bill. The
Senator often laughs about the trans
action and thinks that in these days Of
greater enlightenment and religion (D
it would be be an unsafe proceeding.

Justice ATcKenna read a dissenting
opinion IN the De Lima case, stating
mat Justices sShiras and White Joined
in his views The majority, he said,
proceeded on the simple proposition

IA his view, it could not turn on so easy
definition Between the extremes
there were other relations which Porto
Rico might sustain to the United
states, and ii could be deter1niRed that
Porto Rico occupied one of these other
relations ana its products, hence, were
subject to duties.
\ Justice Mekenna called attention to
the fact that after CALIFORNIA; annex

tended oVer.it, and asked why this was
necessary if they applied of their own

iens saying briefiys that its judgment
appeared to him irrecOncilable with the
unanimous opinion of this court IN

ions of the majority of the justices in

DRIED SCOTT CASE.
In his opinion Justice Brown referred
at length to the decision of Chief JUS
tice fancy in the Dred Scott case, Civ
ing especial consideration to the senti-
nent expressed by him that there is
no power given by the constitution to
the federal government TO establish or
maintain colonies bordering on the
United States or at a. distance to be
ruled and governed at its own pleasure:
and if a new state is admitted il needs
no further legislation by congress, be-
cause the constitution itself defines the
relative rights and powers and duties
of the. state and the citizens of the
state and the federal government. But
no power is given to acquire a territory
to be held and governed permanently
in that character"
Justice Brown expressed the opinion
that it was unfortunate, in view of the
existing condition Of the country at the
time the Scott decision was rendered.
just sbefore the beginning of the civil
war, mat tne chleE justice had felt
impelled to discuss the question upon
its merits
1T is, he said, Sufficient to say that
the country did not acquiesce in the
opinion, and that the civil war which
shortly afterward followed, produced
such change ia Judicial as welI as in
public sentiment as TO seriously impair
the authority OF the case
He sdded THE power to prohibit
slavery in the territories is so different
from the power to impose duties upon
territorial products, and depends upon
such different provisions OF the consti-
tuition that they can scarcely be con-
sidered as analogous unless we as
sumed broadly that every clause of the
constitution attached to the territories
as well as to the states of arcIafm
quite inconsistent with the position of
the court in the Canter. case. The diff
ficulty with the bred Scott case was
that the court refused to make a dis
tinction between property in general
and a wholly exceptional class Of prop
erty."

PRUNED THE BILLS.
Aldermen Slice Big Piece Off Board
of Health Bulls.


The old board OF aldermen met last Fri.
day evening for the last time. Mayor
Greedy and Aldermen Stuart, Higgins and
Brady were present.
The only business to come before the
board were bills of DIR. j. L. Mcdonald
and George A. Parcher for services on the
board of health.
The matter of charges for services on the
board OF health was stirred up in THE
AMERICAN few months ago. At that
time some of the abuses which had been
allowed to continue for years in the mat
ter OF charges for services on the board OF
health were pointed out, and it was fur
ther asserted that, strangely enough, no
authority OF law or municipal ordinance
could be found fixing the compensation
for services on the board OF health.
For each complaint OF nuisance investi
gated by the board, precedent has estab-
lished a charge OF s2 by each member of
the board and each administration, with
many groanings, has paid 1t. Many of
these complaints are of trivial nature
a cesspooI or closet smells bad; some one
rushes to the board of healt h with COM
plant; he board "investigates", the own
er of the offending cesspooi Is told to have
1t cleaned out; the city gets bill for 70
for investigating nuisance.
For investigating a reported case of
contagious disease, measles included, the
health officer gets g. He may have to
call two or three times before he can de-
eide the case. He charges e for every
call. The physician who is attending the
case only gets 81 call. Ii the case
proves to be contagious, the tacking of
the required piacard upon the house is
made the excuse for another charge OF e..
The city has also been paying for the dis
infection of house after contag ious
disease. When the board of aldermen
| began to look into the matter few weeks
| ago, they discovered that the statutes re-
quired the householder to pay that
| charge.
The bills which came up Friday evening
have been pending for some time. The
| board struck out the items that, as stated
above, could by no excuse be made a
| charge against the city, then Jumped the
| balance and voted on what should be al
| lowed on each bill.
| DIR. McDonald's bill was cut from 800
down to 500. Mr.. Parcher's bill was cut
from S32 down to go.
Another thing which was pretty def
nitely decided upon at Friday evenings
meeting was to make the office OF health
officer a salaried one, and require de-
tailed report of each nuisance investi-
| gated, who made the complaint, and what
action was s.taken by the board of health.
1t is thought that the requirement that
| the names OF persons making complaint
be made public, will put stop to agreat
many trivial complaints, frequently in
| spired by spite.
