In plan, every-day words, Mr. Depew intimates that New York will go overwhelmingly repub- lican. BADEAU'S suit against the Grants has been again postponed. This is now the fourth time, and as the public still re- tains the fondest feeling for its national hero it is to be hoped that these post- ponements indicate the existence of ne- gotiations for private settlement, STILL another railroad accident in Pounsylvania with fatal results. Theo mail cars caught fire and all the letters were destroyed. And yet the public has been assured twenty times that a new system of heating had been devised, and that there would be no more holo- causts, Tne Knights of Labor of Indianapolis have ofticially taken it upon themselves to repudiate the fellow who is circu- lating the dollar-a-day lie counccted with General Harrison. This was a manly course. The order felt itself in honor bound to clear its skirts of any imputation that it took a hand in the mean little trick of an unserupulous po- litical worker. It is said that the forthcoming report of the director of the mint will show a considerably increased estimate of the consumption of the procious metals fn the arts. The consumption of gold will be shown to have been decidedly larger than the official estimates for recent years, and the same is true of silver. This is the result of an improved method in obtaining statistics. SENATOR TELLER hit the nail on the head when he said that the present ad- ministration had played into the hands of Wall street. From the moment that Mr. Cleveland wrote his anti-silver letter, before his inauguration, the whole purpose of his admin- fstration has been to put the interests of Wall street before those of the rest of the country. No wonder that Secretary Fairchild had an immense audicnce of New York bankers and their satellites. As WE have before pointed out, it is necessary that republicans should not forget the importance of electing a ma- jority of the next house of ropresenta- tives, which is quite as essential to the supremacy of republican policy in the government as the election of the pres- fdent. The democratic majority in the prosent house is but fifteen, and there is very favorable promise that it will be overcome. Probable gains of repub- lican congressmen in Ohio, Pennsyl- vaniu, and other states warrant the ex- pectation that the next house of repre- seutatives will have a republican wajor- ity Tue territorial governors their anuual reports. So fae the gov- ernors of Dakota, ldaho and New Mexico have beenheard from. The re- ports give glowing accounts of the in- @rense of population and wealth of the @veral territorics. The last year Las been one of great prosperity to the west, and it is gratifying to learn that the territories keep abreast with the states in progress. [t can be but a few short years at the most when all the territories will be admitted to the full vights of statehood, now demied to several on partisan grounds. have made AN important event in railroad eireles is the opening of a bransh of the North ern Pacific from Minneapolis to Winni- peg. This is essentially the first Amer- fcan road built on Canadian soil. It ocomes in direct competition with the Canadian Pacific railroad into Manitoba, and is to reliove the people of that ter ritory of the yoke of that monopoly. It remaius to be seen what succor will be given by the American railroad built at the invitation of the people of Man- ftoba. It may be effective in reducing freight rates forthat provinee, and then again, it may pool with the Canadian Pacific anda share in the extortion so long practiced, TO ADJOURN TO-DAY. The first session of the fiftieth con- geross will adjourn to-day, and the coun- try will hail the fact with no ordin gratification. For at least two months past there has been no veason why con- ess should remain in session. During most of that time there has not been a quorum of cither house, and what busi- ness has been done has been simply be- cause there was no objection. This sort of legislation is not what the country expects or wants, and in giving it to the country congress has not only gone contrary to all precedent, but has of- fended against what the people regard the proper function of their representatives. The fact that a majority of congressmen were away from their posts of duty for weeks, look- ing not after the public interests, but caving solely for their personal welfure, has not improved the public confidence in the representatives of the people. Its tendency has been to strengthen an impression that the majority of con- gressmen ars after all but politicians, with whom the general wolfare is al- ways subordinate to party or personal considerations. A political sensation on the part of the administration is possible to-day, but it is not easy to conceive what it may be that will have any cffect to the advantage of the democracy. The aptitude of Mr. Cleveland for theatric effects is well un- derstood, but there appears to be hittle opportunity for nim to do anything at this last moment of the session of con- gress that would not naturally bo re- garded by the country as a studied scheme for effect, and which would therefore necessarily lose the in- flucnce it was expected to have. He can hardly be so blind to the situation as not to appreciate this, and therefore not to attempt any such sensational move as he is thought to contemplate. The session of congress that will close to-day has heen the longost in the history of the government, and in most respocts it may be said to haye been also the least advantageous. A very great amount of le; ion has been proposed, but the practical results have been disappointing to the country. An unprecedented amount of bills have been introduced, and while there has been some legislation in the general in- terest, a very great deal that should have been done, and which the people had a right to expect of their repr sentatives, has either failed or postponed fo the next ses reason of it being the short session may not be able to act. As overybody knows the most im- portant work of the session was the passage by the house of the Mills tariff bill and the introduction in the senate of a measure as a substitute for this bill. Tur BEE has repeatedly insisted that there was no probability of any tariff islation at the present session, and the situation verifies the accuracy of its judgment. Both par- ties in congress having seen the impos- sibility of final action have wisely rel- ogated the matter to the popular decis- ion. This question was practically taken out of congress more than three months ago, and while it was unquestionably the duty of the republican senato to report a measure that should cle; define the attitude of the party respect- ing tariff revision and reform, nobody seriously expected that such action would result in practical legislation. It is absolutely necessary to await the ver- dict of the people on this question, and one party understands this equally with the other. The session that will close to-day has not been entirely devoid of important legistation. The r and harbor bill and the Chinese restriction bill were measures of general interest, and a matter of no small importance was the amendment to the act of last year relating to the transmission of the electoral vote for president and vice president. There has been some other useful legislation, but the session will be chiefly memorable for tl markable tarifl discussion and for the fact that it was the most extended ses- sion in the history of the government. us bes re- KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. The territories of the northwest have been knocking very gently at the doors of congress throughout the session, and whispering through the key-hole that they would like to be admitted as states, Idaho says that she is ready, that she has a population of more than 100,000 people who own taxable property to the amount of fifty millions of dollars, and t 460,000 acres of public land have been entered during the past year, showing the extent to which immigra- tion has been directed towards a al- ity attracting little comment. Wyoming has remarked in a low, sweet voice that she has a population exceeding 80.000, that her coal fields alone are sure to be a source of wealth and of increased population, and that her agricultural development 1s keeping pace with her mineral productions. Montana, perhaps, hangs a little back, but then she possesses the Yellow- stone National park, and tourists and travelers will help to develop her. As for Washington tervitory and Da- kota, they are fully grown, and the lat- ter is at thismoment more than the peer of many of the states of the south. Yet both these communities, powerful in rvesources and population, must beg with bated breath and bended knees for the admission which is theirs by right of the American constitution, and from which they are debarred by a demo- cratic house. Even if the house had been inclined to show a gleam of patriotic feeling, or a sense of justice, even if Mr. Springer of Ilinois had been as true to his duty as he has been false, it is to be feared that not one of these glorious territories of the northwe; that combine within themselves all the conditions of im- mense populations and coutinuous pros- perity, would have been admitted as states so long as Grover Cleveland could sign a veto. This president of the United States has shown that he isa Lo creature of the south, and that he recog- nizes the right of the south toshape the policy of the entire democracy. He is subscrvient to a degree that makes the nation blush for its ruler. The south is deterained to oppose the admission of 73 T tiiese territores of the northwest, be- as states they, would give the north & marked predsminance, and would prosumably bevepubl Henco the anomaly is presentod of a territory like Dakota with a population of 650,000, and with immense taxable property. There is n way to end this state of things. very vote cast for the repub- lican party is a step towards the admis- sion of these territories, w ¢ with hraska in local interests and aims, Their exclusion is a national disgra cause ran. WHERE IS THE GAIN ? A gentleman named Jones, a native of the state of Kansas, is endeavoring to breed buffaloes. I s now a herd of 150 head, some of which ar 1-bred, and the remainder three-quarter brec Me. Jones is evidently an enthusiast who views his plan through the roscate hues of his own imagination rather thun through the elear cold light of reason. There can be no possible prospeet of profit to his venture, even if he should be as suceessful as he hopes. The prob- lem in meat raising has been solved al- ready with ordinary cattle on the ranges west of the Missouri river, and in the states of Nebraska and Kansas pecially, The question is purely one of economy, the way to raise in the cheap- est method steers that shall give in pro- portion to their cost the st amount of saleable meat. The method that has been found most profitable is to eaise the steers upon the ranges and fatten them upon corn for market at points contiguous to packing cente It is pretty certain that the enormous crop of corn raised this year in the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Towa and Missouri will nearly all go into beef and pork. Clear demonstration of these truths with regard to Kansas is given by the heef packing houses of Kansas ( and that Nebraska oceupiesastill more favorable position for the raising of cheap beef than Kansas has been evident to every one for some years past. The establish- mentof a heof packing house in this city by 1’hil Armour was but to take ad state of things that al- ready existed. The man who has the ey has only to iook at a buffalo steer to be convinced that Me. Jones' idea is un- sound. The creature is big where it should be hittle, and its hindquarters, where the best meat is located, taper in the most marked way. The guestion of domesticity was a minor one, but Mr. Jones thought it the only one. No one who knows anything about bulls of any of the best domestic breeds will assert that they are thoroughly tamed. Bulls, like circus elephants, are alw dangerous, and must constantl witched, or they will kill. Atmost every farmer has a belief that his own bull is faultless, until the creatur charges him. Every one is ready to be lieve that the attempt to domesticate buffaloes would be in 0 measure success- ful if gone into persistently. But wher is the gain? What the people cry fc is cheap heef. Noone, so far as heard from, is hankerving for buffalo boef. And the demand for cheap beef has been answered gloriously by the farmers of this state and by those of the state to which the enthusiastic dreamer be- longs. ntage o > of abutcher A MINNESOTA MUDDL In the river aud harbor bill of March, 1873, there was a clause providing a grant of twenty-five thousand dollars for construction of a lock and dam in the Mississippi at Meeker's Island, pro- vided that all rights toland grants made by congress to parties at diff erent times for the prosecution if this same work should be fully relinquished to the United States before any of the appro- priation should be expended. The par- ties holding the land grants have never made a satisfactory release and none of the money has heen spent. But if r leases had been obtained the work could not have been commenced for the simple reason that the money approprinted w. insignificant for the preliminary test basings in the boitom of the river. The citizens of St. Paul since the develop- ment of electrie lighting have felt very desirous that the work should be done, for an immense water power would be obtained which would be more than ample to light both St. Paul and Minneavolis. The calculation of the government engincer, who made the estimates in 1571, was that 1t would cost about a million dollars, or something short of thut amount. And as cthing was much dearer in those days than now it is probable that the cost would not be rore than six hundred thousand dollars. This sum the municipality of St. Paul would probably have no objection in spending for the purpose, but matters are so muddled that it is difficult to take hold of the work. In 1857 an improve- ment company was formed for the pur- pose, and obtained a land grant and rights which were never utilized, ex- cepi by sale for twelve thousand dollars to parties in St. Paul in 1860, These parties did not obtain satisfactory title to what they bought, because the origi- nal improvement company’s charter contained various provisos which nega- tived their rights if certain work was not done. They could only sell the rights they had. Conseguently nothing s been done, and nothing apparently will be done unless the purchasers of the improvement company’s charter go to work themselves, build the dam, and then fight for the land grantsiu the courts of law. All prospect of federal assistance scem at an end, because one special grant of land has been aceepted by the state of Minnesota on the express condition that it would muke these im- provements. And in the rviver and hai bor bill of 1873 it was expressly stipu- lated that this grant, amounting to two hundred thousand acres, should bs :linquished, as well as the title to ants of land held by private parties, in the event of their doing- the work. The state of Minnesota has very prop- erly declined to relinquish this land in view of the fact that the appropriation vas so small that 1t could not be used. 0 the whole business is tied up. — Tue department of agriculture at Washington gives a table of the esti- mated production of corn in the United States for 1588, In this list Nebraska is credited with a crop of nearly one hundred and forty million bushels and ranks fourth in the list of tho great corn producing Towa leads the column with a crop of two hundred and forty million bush the greatest amount of co¥rbver d in any one Tilinois follows a close sccond with two hundred and thirty-one mil- lion bushels, and Missouri third with one hundred and ninet million bushels. he tptal corn crop for the country is estimbted at two billion bush- els. If this ithmense crop were dis- posed of st the nominal price of only ten cents a bushel, the farmers of the land could pocket two hundred millions of dollars as their share of the season. state. -one TiE Indian policy of the United States is a mass of absurdities and in- congruities, and the effects fall of course upon the states and tervitories where the tribes have been located. The price of the Indian lands in Dakot the main consideration, as Seerctary Vilas with picayune cconomy scems to im- agine. The fact that they are willing to depart from a locality where they arc a hindrance and a nuisance is the great point, and it would be a good bar- gain to give them what they ask to get rid of them. It must be noted that they ask only what they have a right to as N LIGENCE comes from Utah that a short road of twenty-five miles is to be built from Coalville to a point in the southwest corner of Wyoming Terri- tor Theve is already a branch of the Union Pacific which covers just those points. Parallel roads are a swindle on the community, Competition is always alleged, but combination is the certain end. All this was clearly brought by the inter-state commeree cominission but most unfortunately there can be no remedy for this state of things until every state has a strict law concerning railroad construction. Tie explanations of 1he Major Bartelloy increasing in num- ber, butnot in lucidity. Tt is now stated that he was shot dead by an African drummer of his own party with whom he remonstrated for disturbing his morning slumbers. This hogwash is given to the public to hide some very grave news, and the probability is that ippu Tib has turned against the Bu- ropeans in central Africa, and that Bartellot was killed by his orders. A SANITARIUM is going to bo estab- lished at Idaho Sprin Colo. Tts fail- ure is a foregope conclusion, The ozone of high altitudes is prejudicial to the mucous membrane, and the air is altogether too bracing for persons aficted with pulmonary complaints. Santa Barbava,rin California, is the true home for the consumptive. OTHER LANDS THA The Chatean of Loo, near Apeldoorn, in Holland, is the scene which the aged William, king of the Netheelands, has chosen to die in. It is a structure dating back only two centuries, in the heavy brick style, which is familiarly knowy as Dutch, Though the palace is by nosmeans beautiful, it is sur- rounded by lovely gardens in the quaint old Duteh style, full of perfume giving flowers, aud with none of the modern coleuses and acaranthuses and centaureas, all whose beauty is in their leafage. Beyond the ter- race where the flowers are stretches an ex panse of lawns of the most luscious green. “The old king is wheeled from one room to au- other, and from his study to the terrace that he muy feel the comfortof the sun. He is very weak, unable to siga his name, unable to feed umself, out is nursed and fed and washed and put to bed like a baby. Over the quict of Loo lowers the grim shadow of the Prussian cagle, watching for the breath to leave the body to make its torrific swoop upon the little kingdom. S0 Louis XI. watched for the death of Rene of Provence that he might add it to France. That king dom was built up precisely as Germany is beiag built up to-day, and who now regrets that the independeut kingdoms and princi palities and duchics were suppressed when the outcome was the great homogencous French nation that has done so much for art and science and literature, 1t England had been governed as wisely as France, it also would be homogeneous, which it is not Prussia is being governed wisely, and the result will be a Germany that may do great thinss for humanity. The tone of the German press in relation to the troubles at Zanzibar seems to be that the scheme of colonization was little more than a dream. The most recent dispatehes preseat an unbroken story of destruction of German property throughout the extent of the conceded land. The spirit of the peaple is thoroughly aroused and they pay no more attention to their sultan thanif he was a graven image. The organ of flnance, tho Borsen Zeitung of Berlin, claims that it has proof of the Hritish intrigues which led to the outbreak. If this paper is correct, tue British policy has been short-sizhted to the verge of blinaness. re may be a feeling that the British ave a shade etter than the German colonists, but if the sentiment of the natives is as furious as it has been de- picted, scant time will elapse before the Bit- ish will be treatea in the same way as the Germans have been. Their property will be destroyed, and themselves massacred, or forced to flee to their ships for protection. the meanwhile Emin Bey and Stanley are placed i the utMost embarrassment, for they now cannot csgape to the castward, and are safer where they are supposed to be th anywhere else.

They are instructed that in the defence of a position it is to be assumed that there will be neither smoke nor sound to indicate to the assailants exactly where they are posted. It is to be concluded, therefore, that the Lebel is as silentas an air-gun. This surely will revolutionize warfare. One can hardly belp the thought that such a weapon will make future wars a series of survrises and butcheries without any great pitched battle, aud the greatest general will be the mau who can utilize clouds of skirmishors to bide his whereabouts and to discover the po- sition of the enemy. If the Lebel is a suc cess there will be no more glory 1 war, . Of all' the crowned heads of the world, only one, Don Pedro of Brazil, ever visited the Unitod States, and he was such a splen- did specimen of imperialism that the sturdi est republican recognized that monarchs might be men. He travelod everywhere in this couutry for he tiked American railronds ad he was fond of utilizing them. He lin- gered in New York; he was present at the opening of the Centennialy he dashed off to Sun Francisco; ho came flying back and in- spected the porkeries and beoferies of Chi When he went to Furope, he made little tour in Spain and Portugal, his father land. When he returned to Brazil he used the information he had gained for tho prac- tical benefit of his people. He abolished sia- very, and made many uscful reforms, so that he became the darling of bis people and tho best beloved ruler of the time. It was, therefore, with consternation and real regret that Americans and Brazilians roceived the news of his being in a dying condition some- where in Europe. The news was a gross ex- oration. He was seriously ill, but far from dyine, and the strength of his constitu- tion carriod him through his malady tri umphautly. He returned to Rio Janeiro last month and was received by his subjects with the most exuberant enthusiasm, The streets were dgeorated with great splendor and there was tremenduous checring along all the line as soon as Don Pedro and the em- press appeared in their carriage, The diplomatists of Washington are §wag ging their jaws over a rumor that Russia has obtained the port of Lazaref for her own ex- clusive use fr ble cago. commercial privileges. The Euglish s d'affuives appear to be oxhila ated over the news, and this joy of theirs supplics a plausible explanation to the mys tery why Corea should turn her back on the United States and all the other treaty pow- ers. This is believed to be the state of the case. Corea desires independence, and has come to the conclusion that her best friend inst the pretensions of both Japan and Ching, and more particularly China, is Russia. The English are most desivous of seeing the czar turn his cue the direction of India, and would gladly sist him in any views he might zuinst China. [t is supposed that for this reason England last year ceded to Russia onc of her many islands in the north Pacitic for a conling station. Russia my be im ing the policy of Sicrman, whose antago- nists never knew wheae he was heading until he got there, or may have comoe to the con- clnsion that Tndia is an orange which has beeu squeczed to dryness already. When Poter the Great made his famous v pagoda tree was a fact, but the not only shaken off all the pago Hindoos used to call the large gold coin, but they have eut down the tree as well, as entertain Prime Minister Flouet has assured Amer- ican visitors that the new police arrange- ments with regard to immigration into France have nothing to do with the class whom the French denowinate rentiers, which word exp generally people who have an independent income. The new arrangements, it was explained, were di rected solely against an influx of Belgian and Swiss workmen into Paris, and of Ital- iau lab into the mountainous depart} ments of the southcast of France. Paris is more than ever anxious to keep all the strangers within_her gates, and to get more if possible, for she is well aware that they are the geese that lay the golden eguys, and she has remarked with chagrin a disposition nowadays to make Paris simply a resting- piace for a week or so before going to Vienna, which is now the leadquarters of pleasure for the well-informed. Vienna has great attractions of its own, and in these days of good railroad communication is within hailing distance of Trieste and Cat- taro and the casy-going capitals of S and Roumania--Belzrade and Buchare Therefore it can easily be understood that the Parisians wonld lay no restrictions upon the advent of those who still remain faithful to them. ors Ireland triumphs, the green flag glitters, and the harp of Tara's hall sends forth a deep,resonant note from its lowest chord. The case of the Times inst Parnell has vir- tually been surrendered, for the two leadng counsel engaged by the Thunderer have thrown up thewr bricfs, One of these is the attorney general of Lord Salisbury’s admin- istration, and his withdrawal must be a re- flection of government opinion. Lord Salis bury evidently has determined to dissociate the admmstration from the side of the Times. ‘The other man who opened the case for the Thunderer is the regular bloodhound of the unionists, and that he too should have thrown up his brief is an intimation that the unionists will not support the odium of the forged letters attributed to Parnell. But his desertion is peculiar, for he read these letters in court when he opened for the Eng lish paper, and almost pledgzed his reputation for their authenticity. A more disgraceful state of things never existed in England's legal history. The collapse of the case w immensely strengthen the powers of the Irish nationalists, and if they proceed with calm and dignified firmness they will win the autonomy which ulone car: secure to Irelun commercial and political faie-play, T struggle of the Irish nationalists has been for existence, and not for seutiment, as the Euglish have asserted. Good progress is being made, according to Greek papers, with the canal across the isthmus of Corinth in course of construction by a French company. The Greek govern ment has made liberal concessions of land, with the stipulation that no subsidy shall ever bo asked for. The canal lhas to be blasted through four miles of solid granite to adepth of twenty-six feet, with a width of oue huudred aud thirty-one feet. The penditure bas been fixed at six willions of dollars, but it must necessarily far excced this, The company hopes to make money out of the land concessions, but it is dificult to how those great espectations can be There is no commerce there save the comsting trade of the Greeks, which is big cnoughou paper, for the number of la- teen-sailed vessels of all descriptions is large, But there is a woful scarcity of coin, and un- less the company will take its tlls in olives, the coasters will sail round the Morea as heretofore. When will a stop be put to this frenzy of construction which for years past has been out of all proportion to the earnings of the producing elements! And all these developments are atax upou production. Porfirio Diaz has again been clected presi- dent of the Mexican republic. His hold upon the affections of his countrymen is marvel- ous, and this is not to be wondéred at, be- cause hie is a man of true pre-eminence, All Americans who come in contact with him have been impressed by the breadth of his views, by his nsight into public life, and by the steady dignity of his mann There was between himself and General Grant a strong and lasting friendship, and it may be doubted if any one in this country mourned the untimely death of the national hero more than Porfirio Diaz. The one great aim of his public career has been to establish relations of the utmost amity between Mexico and this country. He has fostered American railroad enterprise and has been most lineral in grants of land and concessions for mining to Americans in Mexico. Under his wmild and beneflcial sway our neighbor has im proved 1 population aud in Auancial strength, It is safe to say that at no time since Cortez made a new city rise from the ex palized. n Corea, bosides some valua-’ ruins of Mexico-Tenochtitlan has thers boen #0 much enterprise and so much sound pros- perity, Readers of Tae Ber who are acquainted with European politics, must smile at Mons, do Lavellaye's programme for the recon- struction of national territories.

The extinction of Polish nationality is the one condition of the existence of ’russia as a na. tion, and well did Iredorick the Gre comprehend it, Asithmeticians liave ways that are past finding out. In a recent comparison between the public debts of England and the United States, that of the latter was given as in round numbers sixteen hundred thousand dollars, and the English debt as about three and a half billions.

The consequence is that beer is brewed there scientifically, and then con signed to cool cellars, where it remains dur ing six months, fluing itself and getting fit for human consumption And now Dr. Schalze, of Vienna, advises stronily that the beer should be drunk from earthenware mugs, not from glasses.

After reading from the authoritics, the court said it scemed quite clear that the city cannot dovote tha stroots to privato use in such manner as to impair their primary purpose for use as pub- lic highways. 1t is also clear that tho clty may grant to the owners of lots such privi leges incident to the enjoyment of their property as do not interfere substantially with the public interest in the strocts. It las'been a practice of long standing in citics to allow land owners to build to the street lines of thew lots. In many cases it s absolutely necessary to havo the tse of the space under the sidewalks for ingress and ogress o the basement, and that privilege is seldom or uever demed. Individ uals may be permitted to temporarily use the walks and the streets for the. deposit of puu terial needed in the construction of an adja- cent building. That is wnincident to the en Joyment of property, but. it may not be per nent. This view' has been sanctioned by the supreme court of Nebrasku, and must e held w be sufiicient. 1t seems hard to draw adistinction s to excavations under tho sidewilk and under the street, Thore soots to be little philosophical reason for draw ing an arbitrary line ut the curbing and_ say inc: Inside that line the privilege may bo enjoved but outside it cannot be granted Whether inside or outside of such a liug such a privilege must bo enjoyed subject to the pulic use. As to whethor, under the charter, the inspector of buildings has power to grant such privilegos, the coury read from section 107 of the charter, which provides fora department of buildings and defines its duties. The court held thut 1f this power to grant the use of the stracts is vested in the city it may be delegated to the inspector, The court said it had fouud an or- dinance, No. 1004, that gives the inspector ex- traordinary powers. 1t provides that ownors of buildings may apply to the inspector and recoive permits for the use of adjoming strects. That clearly contemplates, said the court, excavations outside the curb lino, There is no doubt the city has assumed its right to grant such privileges, and has delegated its power to the inspector. . That power, 1t lodged in the hauds of an unprincipled man, is lisblo to great abuse. It is @ most extraordinary discretion for tho city to lodge with any ono person, no matter how much - confidence may be felt'in that person’s judgment and . integ: rity, The least the city can doisto dofing limitations for its exercise. In the mtter o the fire ordinance it laid down the ruies in detail, and the only power the inspector has is to see thut those rules are observed The court said 1t would not undertake at the present to announce adofinite or final conclusion as to whether power exists in tho charter to_grant the privileges under consid- eration. But, assuming that the inapector has no such power, is the plaintiff privilegod to make the complaint{ The excavation may be complained of a8 public or a private nuisance. It may be complained of as a_public nuisanco by a citzen. It may bo complained of as a pri vate nuisance by any one injuriously affected by it. There is no case stated in_its petition or its argument to entitle the plaintiff to sock the injunction. It is_not alloged that tho boilers will endanger Tie Bgr: buildiug, nor are there othe llegations of a private nuls. ance. 1t is not ulloged that there will be smoke, or noise, or offensive odor, or any other condition' constituting a_public nuis ance. - Whatever may be the rights of thy party making the excavation, the plainti has not the right to enjoin. 1t is shown that the coutioll the mspector had the right to g mit, by resolution asked him to revoke it. ' If any party had the right to complain the cily, a8 @& corporation, has pre-cmiuently that right. It has put itself on record as opposed Lo the excavation, and it is 0 necessary and proper party to this action, The conrt announced that it would make no journal entry at present, but would continue the case with a view to_ allowiug the ety to become a purty o the litigation If it do not take tho position of complaiuant, itmay, at the instance of the plaiutiff, b made 4 party to the defense.
