THE decision handed down Tuesday
by the Supreme Court has opened up
again the whole question of the street
railway. The time has come when the
city must either fish or cut bait.
Either the Council must take the mat
ter in hand and make some sort of
terms with the company headed by
Mr.. Arnold, or the city must go way
back among the back numbers and
confess her inability to secure any sort
of a street railway without sacrificing
the interests of the city, and that al
tentative is not to be thought of for
moment. The consensus of opinion
among our citizens seems to be that
this is a very favorable time to take
up the question and settle it once for
all. AS result of the last election
there is a clear working majority in
the Council that can safely be trusted
to look carefully after the city's inter
ests and a Mayor in whom the people
have confidence. The city's interests
are safe in their hands In Mr.. Arnold
the city would be dealing with a man
who has the financial ability to carry
out his part of any agreement that
might be made. The heavy invest
ments he has already made in the city
are rendered practically va1ue1ess by
the decision of the court, unless he
can make terms with the city. Since he
came into possession of the franchise
he has acted in good faith and he has
every right to expect fair treatment
from the city. Kenosha must have
street railway. The merchants of the
city are losing money every day be-
cause of the lack of some cheap and
easy means Transportation. The city
should be willing to meet Mr.. Arnold
half way in any move he may make to
relieve the present situation. If he de-
cides to reorganize his company so as
to conform to the decision of the court
and applies for a new franchise, he
ought to have it. He is no specu1ator
trying to secure a valuable concession
in order to sell out at profit, but
business man who has faith in the fu-
ture of the city and the financial and
executive ability to carry out any con-
tract he may make with the city.

FELL FROM THE TOWER.
Michael Doherty Meets With Serious In
juries During the Windstorm Tuesday

Michael Doherty, the gateman near
the Elizabeth street crossing of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company, met with serious accident
Tuesday afternoon when he fell from
the tower, near the crossing, sustain
ing severe injuries which will probably
lay him up for several weeks.
The door of the tower is some fifteen
feet above the ground and Mr.. Doherty
had climbed the steps of the tower.
Just as he was opening the trapdoor he
slipped on the wet steps and fell back
ward. He fell to the ground a1ighting
on his neck and shoulders and wrench
ing the shoulders. He also sustained
slight internal injuries.
The old gentleman was dazed for
over an hour after he was taken to his
home near the city limits on Ashland
avenue. Drs. William M. Farr and
George Pugh were called to attend
him. They report this morning that
the patient is resting easy and it is not
thought that his injuries will prove in
any way dangerous.

The experience of Chicago during
the recent epidemic of smallpox should
be an object lesson to all cities whose
health officials are remiss in urging
systematic vaccination. Chicago has
the most stringent vaccination regu1a-
tons of any city in the world and they
have been rigidly enforced for years.
The Board of Health of that city has
just compiled statistics showing the
results of the operations of the vaccin-
alton regulations. During the last
four years Chicago has had but one
case of smallpox in 1900 of popp1a ton
and more than Is per cent. of these
cases were brought into the city from
the surrounding infected districts. In
some of the cities where the VAGINA
ton regulations were slack or were not
strictly enforced the percentage of
smallpox cases has gone as high as
one in 1877 of population during the
same period.

the ordinance providing for the vaca-
ton OF Summer street was laid over
for another fortnight.
An invitation was received from
q. =. Simmons asking the City Coun-
Gil to pay visit to the Simmons Man
ufacturing Company's plant and the
visit will be made on Thursday after
noon. At the same time the Council
will make some arrangements with
Mr.. Simmons for the advance of
money for the payment of the running
expenses of the city for the year.
Following the usual custom the
Council appropriated SIS for the use of
the Grand Army in celebrating Me-
mortal day.
The Chief of Police reported that
Mat Willems had retired from the po-
lice force and the Council proceeded to
ballot for his successor. On the fourth
ballot Owen O'Hare, former member
of the force, was selected. Officer
O'Hare is we'll known in police circles
and has record as one OF the best off,
GERS that ever served the city. Many
people in the city will be pleased 10
know that he has been returned to the
force for another year. Officer O'Hare
will begin his duties today.
Without further business Council
adjourned.

By vote of 247 to 81 the lower house

By a vote of 247 to 81 the lower house
of Congress passed the Cuban reci-
procity bill Friday. The bill as it
came from the committee was amended
by providing for the removal of the
differential on refined sugar, in add
tion to the twenty per cent reduction
on raw sugar.
Tits expected by the beet sugar men
that the adoption of the amendment
will kill whatever chances the bill may
have had for passage in the Senate.
The facts which have been brought to
che attention of the people by the dis
cussion of the whole question of the
sugar tariff have not raised either of
the parties to the controversy in the
estimation of the people. Between
Mr.. Havemeyer's trust and Mr.. Ok
nard's syndicate of beet sugar men
there is little to choose. Both are
working for their own pockets all the
time. Their arguments have deceived
loud walls of Mr.. Havemeyer's trust
over the suffering Cubans were in
spired by the purest philanthropy and
a patriotic desire to see the Nation re-
deem its tacit pledges to the Cuban re-
public. The weeping of Mr.. Oxnard
aud the beet sugar syndicate, over
what they are pleased to term "the de-
straction of promising industry" has
not made much of an impression either.
Mr.. Oxnard stated in 1893 that the
beet sugar industry could prosper
under free sugar. The cost of produc-
ing beet sugar has decreased since
1898, and the consumption has in
creased enormously, so that if the beet
sugar men were in position to COM
pete with free sugar at that time it
does not appear that their industry is
an any immediate danger by the admis-
sion of Cuban sugar at a reduced tariff
gate.
The President declared in his mes
sage to Congress that the first essen
tial in dealing with the trusts was
knowledge of the facts-publicity,"
aud the publicity that has been given
to the operations of the two sugar
trusts in the discussion of the reci-
procity bill has not tended to place
either of them in particularly favor
able light before the people.
The Cubans were influenced to ac-
cept the Plat amendments to their
constitution by direct pledge on the
part of the United States to make
&ariff concessions. The Cubans have
acted in good faith and we are "bound
by every consideration of honor AM
expediency" to carry out our part of
the program. If Congress fails to re-
deem the pledges made to the Cubans
it's members must expect to be called
to account for their actions by the peo-
pie who have a higher regard for
national honor than they have for the
profits of any trust.

SOME of the old reliable tax dodgers
of the city and county are up in arms.
They seem inclined to make the deter
mutation of the Assessors and the ST.
pervisor of Assessments to carry out
the law, and assess their property at
something near its full value, per-
sonal matter between themselves and
the officials. They should remember
that the Assessors have no option in
the matter. The State law provides
that all property, except such as is es-
pecially exempt, shall be listed for
taxation at fair cash value. If this
matter of an increased assessment is
approached in proper spirit, and the
Assessors are assisted in their efforts
to equa1ize the assessments, the tax
rolls of the city and county alike can
be adjusted so that all interests, both
corporate and private, will bear their
just proportion of the taxes. The AS
SCISSORS will undoubtedly make an eff
&OLl ~ SdAA Shl lAAC 40 ohO ASSESS Gal
property at fair cash value, and every
good citizen should give them all the
assistance possible. Their duties will
be trying enough even if they are
properly supported by popular senti-
ment. There is a we'll defined fear
that certain interests are to be favored
at the expense of others. This fear is
groundless. We believe that an hon.
est effort is to be made to carry out all
the provisions of the law to the letter.
But even if the Assessors desired to
favor anybody the heavy penalties
provided by the law for any neglect of
duty on their part would make them
hesitate, for the lists are going to be
more closely examined than ever be-
fore, and any marked discrepancies
are sure to be discovered. The Super
visor of Assessments is d mau who
can be relied upon to do his whole duty
without fear or favor, and his strict
instructions to the Assessors show that
as far as it is in his power the law will
be carried out to the letter.

The man who wrote the report of
the committee appointed to investi-
gate the conditions at West Point
ought to be given regular job as re-
port writer for the government. He
drew such trenchant word picture of
the conditions at the academy that
Congress seems likely to abandon it's
parsimonious attitude toward the
school and make an appropriation that
will put the buildings and equipments
on par with the European national
military schools.

HIRED BY THE CITY.
DR.. ]. L. Clearv Was Duly Employed to At
tend Smallpox Patients.

A mistaken idea has been given out
in regard to the bill sent to the City
Council Monday evening by DR.. J. L.
Cleary for the treatment of smallpox
patients and in speaking of the matter
this morning the doctor stated that he
had been employed by Mayor German
and Health Officer Spalding to take
charge of the smallpox cases for the
city and for this reason he had sent in
his bill to the city and expected them
to pay it.
DR.. Cleary was called as practicing
physician to attend the Wilson case
but when the other cases came up he
was called in by the city in order to
have all the patients receive proper
treatment. In some cases the doctors
of the city had refused to take charge
of smallpox cases and Mayor German
decided that it would be better to have
one physician attend to all and for this
reason DR.. Cleary was employed.

Kenosha Cannot Act.

"The descriptive words used with
reference to the permitted Individual
grantees are well adapted TO segregate
those who already had franchises from
the rest of mankind. Those who have
not received such franchise cannot in
any fair sense be said to have the
right to construct, maintain and oper-
ate street railway Men generally
may have the natural right to build
and use railway on their own land or
that of others by their license, but
street railway as mentioned in the
statutes means one laid in a street,
and no man has right to either con-
struct or operate railway there with
out permission SO to do from the State.
tsThat an authorization to grant
such franchises only to corpora tons
excludes any power to confer one on
individuals and renders void any at
tempt so to do has often been decided
by other courts. The reason
for such holdings are obvious. The
Northumberland dcorporations
for the public purpose of operating
street railways, having hedged them
about with code of statutory regula-
tons for the safety and convenience of
the public, and having the reserved
right to change and control them, even
to destroy them, may well adopt a pol
icy of comforting extraordinary rights
in its highways only upon the corpor-
ate bodies SO within its control. We
cannot doubt that such legislative pol

statutes, and that from the municipal
