ion ailirms the order of Judge Ramsay

ance, the action following the appeal
of the company's employees to the coun-
ell, the repeating ordinance. the reso-
lutions and the chopping down of the

proceedings in court.

In his opinion, Justice Dibell holds
that an ordinance similar to that of

city. does not grant a franchise, but

of 1897 10 erect a plant. was a contract
and can not be abrogated by the city,
unless. indeed. it could be revoked
| for cause. which we need not now de
eide"
IL Not Perpetual.
The court holds that while the ordin-
Iance of 1887 did not limit the period
that the company might maintain poles
and wires on the streets, ii did not
make a grant in perpetuity. but during
the life Of the company, in this in

1T is obvious that under the plainest
principles of ordinary justice it can not
be deprived of these property rights

Gil" Justice Dibell takes occasion to
indicate that the claims of the city are
ioverdrawn as to the condition of the
IcGmpany's apparatus, its charges, and
the conduct of its employees and repre-
Isentatives. He also indicates that the
city may not have the right to regu-
late the conditions of the plant and

that such an ordinance. if the city has

hardly permit the city to judge its own
cause and execute its own decree in

Decree Not Too Broad.
The closing pages of the opinion deal
with the question as to whether the
decree was too broad, and the order of
Judge Ramsay is sustained by Justice
Dibell: The injunction, it was held.
properly permitted the company to con-
tinue the erection of its lines, it being
maintained by the court that a condi-
ton OF status quo in this case is not a
condition of rest, but of activity and
growth. One of the sentences of the
opinion reads. 'If the company is
wrong and shall be defeated in the final
decree, it can be compelled to remove
or submit to the removal of the new
poles and wires so erected during the
pepdency of this suit under the protec.
ton of this Injunction, and the city
will have suffered no substantial loss.
Must show Grounds.
The substance of Justice DibelrS
opinion is similar to that of Judge
Ramsay. 1t holds that the city can not
repeal the ordinance of 1887. and if the
company has not lived up to the con.
ditions of the ordinance, the city to
| have the contract annulled, must prove
| in court that the company has so VIC
lated the contract. The general power
| of the city to remove distractions in
the streets located unlawfully is not
questioned, but the poles are held tC

fully. IF the contract has been vic
lated by either party, such party has
the remedies which the injured party tC
other violated contracts would have
and those remedies are to be sought il

One of the strong points of the opin-

That such is the case has been con-

if there is a Democratic party
alive to the danger and the duty

one steady Democratic princi-
