BARRETT LAW RULING.

A recision of Much Interest i'm Street
Improvement.
The supreme court last week sf-
firmed judgment enforcing Barrett
law lien, all the judges cOncurring in
the result. The principal opinion,
written by Judge Monks, pointed out
that the supreme court of the United
States has expressly decided that an
assessment of sbutting property for
improvements, according to frontage,
is not in violation of the constitution of
the United States, and that it did not
so hold on the Norwood case.
Judge Bakers concurring opinion
admits that this construction of the
federal constitution is binding, but
still insists that assessment by frontage.
without hearing as to benefits would
be in violation of the state constitu-
ton, and both he and Judge Hsdley
concur in affirming the judgment on
the ground that an opportunity for a
hearing was afforded as to the assess
ment in question.

Streets of Gold VIII Suit Her.

One OF the men who are presenting
the remonstrance against paving South
Michigan street met with q serious re-
buff last Friday afternoon. He pre-
senttd the remembrance to Mrs. Un-
ger, who is q widow living on that
street and owning property thereon.
The promoter expstiated loud and long
upon the great expense and cost in
volved, but the widow still refused to
sign and in reply informed him that
were his statement of the cost true, the
council must be going to pave the
streets with gold and that for her whole
life she had hoped that when her days
were DER she would be allowed to walk
the golden streets; and now that she
was to be allowed to do 80 before she
died, she was willing to pay for the
privilege.

1850 Grant received a very large
measure of support in the republi-

his defeat. Grants position on the

however, popular, and is never

ORGANIZES TO FIGHT GLASS TRUST.


Former Plymouth Citizen at the Head of
Enterprise Glass Company.
j. r. Smslley, who seven years ago
was secretary of the Basket factory at
Plymouth, is now one of the directors
of the Enterprise Glass company at
Dunkirk, Ind, an independent concern
which will contest for business with

tors are A j. Bates, James II. Smslley

company will take q number of the
best workmen from the trust plants at
Dunkirk. 1t adds that the Smslley
brothers, in their various undertakings
connected with manufacturing, bank
ing and telephone lines, have met with
more than ordinary success and it
prophesies their success in the glass
business.
J. r. Smslley's many friends in

There has been some difference of
opinion relative TO the new law govern
ing street improvement. Opinions
have differed some as to who are en-
titled TO demonstrate, though it has all
along seemed to the Independent that
the language of the law IL clear. 10
order to satisfy ell on the subject, the
publisher of the Independent wrote to
Attorney General Taylor for his inter
probation. He has replied az follows:
"Mr. Clay w. Metsker, Plymouth. In
diana.
dear Sir: Under the street improve
ment law of March IL, 1901. governing
cities not under special charter, any
property owner can demonstrate
against the Improvement of any street.
But legally his objection does not count
for the statute, at the close of Section l.,
provides that if the remonstrsnce is
signed by two-thirds of the property
owners residing upon the lots sbutting
on such improvement and represent
two-thirds Of the number of linesl feet
of such improvement, then ell further
proceedings shall be abandoned.
avery truly yours.
June q, 1901. "W. 5. TAYLOR"
Thus it will be seen that anyone may
demonstrate against the improvement
of any street. though the remonstrance
of the property owner who does not re-
side upon lots sbutting on the street
proposed to be improved, will not be
legal Lr an effective remonstrator.
In order to defeat paving, two-thirds
of the property owners residing on lots
sbuttlng the proposed improvement
must demonstrate, and these two-thirds
must also represent two thirds of the
lineal feet along said street.
On North Michigan street, Mr.. Pack
ard, who owns the property occupied
by Mr.. Shsmbsugh, might demonstrate
but his remonstrsnce would not count.
Mr.. Rowel, who owns the property
occupied by Mr.. Clizbe, could not
effectively demonstrate; neither could
Mr.. Downs, who owns the property
occupied by Mr.. CRUDE; nor Mr..
Speicher, who owns the hole south of
Borton & Aspinall's.
Hence, those back of the remon.
STRANGE against paving North Michigan
street cannot possibly succeed. 1t 10
evident that they realize that they will
fail, and it is doubtful If the remon-
STRANGE, which has been signed by some
of the property owners, ever shows up
again.
There is practically no opposition to
the paving of Laporte street.

NAME COMES OFF REMONSTRANCE.

Frank Jacob Instructs Mayor Jones to
strike His Name of Remembrance.
Frank Jacox has been trying for sew
ersl days TO find the remonstrsDce Pc
tition against paving North Michigan
street, which he signed under a missp-
prehension of the facts last week
With all his efforts he has been unable
to find the signed remonstrance. He
has been sent to six or seven different
individuals who have had hand in
pushing the remonstrance and ell dis
claim any knowledge of its where
sbouts. Mr.. Jacox, becoming Disguised
finally went to the mayor and instruct
ed him to strike his name from the list
when the remembrance is presented
1t is understood that the demonstrators
have prevented him from removing his
name In order that they may influence
others to sign in consequence of his
name being on the list.
Mr.. Jacox tells the Independent that
1t shall make this public statement in
order that none may be deceived in the
matter. There Is now not q single re,

GRANT ANDTHE THIRD TERM

ID r. VI,
The reelection of General Grant
in 1872 by an enormous popular and
electoral majority gave rise, in the
course of his second term, to much
talk concerning third term. The
country was at the time in an I'M
settled condition. The south was
very much disturbed, the general
domestic situation was unpleasant,
unpromising and, IN a sense, menac-
ing. 1t was felt that strong hand
was needed at the helm, and many
good citizens thought that General
Grant was just the man to hold
down the element of disturbance
and disorder.
Grant, himself a thoroughly prac-
teal man, had no special liking for
the presidential office. He was,
first of all, soldier, with that keen
sense of loyalty to obligation char
acteristic of the true fighter for
country and for duty. He did rot
want third term, but if the coun-
try's needs demanded it, he was
ready to accept it. The Pennsyl-
vania state republican convention
had, in May, 1875, adopted strong
resolutions OH the subject of a third
term. Ii had declared itself unal-
terably opposed, under the unwrit-
ten law of the republic, to the cleo
ton to the presidency of any person
for q third term. This declaration
OF the Pennsylvania republicans
elected from Grant a letter ir

The Obituary They VIII Get.

No doubt some of these old citizens
with the large bank accounts who are
demonstrating against paving imagine
that the Plymouth newspapers will
give them q column obituary, telling of
their wonderful benefactions In the in
terest of the city, when they shu file OIL
this mortal coil. One thing certain, If
the opportunity presents, the Independ-
ent will include In such obituary q
plain statement that the departed re-
monstrsted against paving and stood
in the way of the city's progress. In SO
much as they are not ashamed Of their
course while living. it is doubtful II
they will care much what happens after
dead.

STOP GROWING AND DO BUSINESS
Daniel Mcdonald in last week s
Democrat says that the campaign in
Indiana next year will start out with
those who bolted Bryan and the
national platform in 1896 and 1900
in full possession of the democratic
state organization. There is posi-
lively no truth in that statement, as
each and every member of the state
organization Loyalty supported Mr..
Bryan in both campaigns. Brother
Mcdonald may not be too old to
understand that democrats can be
just as loyal to the party as himself
and still not sanction his ideas as to
party machinery and party manage
ment. So long as disgruntled edi-
tors take the course that the editor
of the Democrat has taken, Just SO
long will the party remain divided.
Instead of fighting over the battles
of 90 and 1900, the Independent
will suggest that the Democrat
should get back into the party or
change its name. Mugwumps
have no right to claim party leader
erShIp anywhere.

strikes me as too absurd TO notice.
