RAILROAD IS ARROGANT
Pennsylvania People at Council Meeting Monday Night Make Arbitrary Demands Concerning Crossings Other Business.
The city council gathered about the j long table Monday night with the at one end, the clerk at the other andj mayor every seat occupied by its proper incumbent. The monotonous grind of regular municipal business was gone through with conscientious deliberation. The Plymouth Hook and Ladder company asked permission to remove the large and heavy extension ladder from their truck, for the reason that it is seldom needed and is a constant burden and impediment. The committee on fire department will investigate. A large number of citizens filed a petition for a 4-inch water main on West Pierce street to the Brownlee bridge and this was referred to the waterworks committee. Another petition asked that a quantity of dirt to be removed in excavating South Michigan street be used in the improvement of Horace and Schuyler streets and the street commissioner was empowered to use his discretion in the matter. The several officials interested were authorized to purchase certain supplies necessary for the new water mains and crosswalks, and a sewer was ordered to be constructed between Walnut street and the Vandalia railway south of the Washington school. A batch of bills amounting to 81,695.08 were allowed "and ordered paid and the finance committee reported that this would reduce the funds in the treasury to $552.82, a dangerously small sum, indicating the near approach of a period of borrowing. The question of certain sidewalks on Michigan and Laporte streets in the business section, which walks do not extend to the curb, was discussed and the city attorney was directed to investigate the legal phases of the case and prepare a resolution or ordinance compelling such walks to be widened and to present the same at an adjourned meeting of the council to be held Thursday evening. The tax levy for the current year was fixed as followes: For general purposes, $1.00 For waterworks bonds, 30 For schoolhouse bonds, 02

all the crossings it is entitled to in law without paying for them, or why any crossing now in existence should be abandoned, the slick Mr. McKim did not explain. The railway company closed Third, Walnut and Miner streets for its own particular behoof and without any lawful right so to do, but it gained no rights thereby whatever. Prescription docs not run against the public and the people are not bound now by the negligence of any former council or city or town official. The company simply took the public streets and has ever since held them subject to the city's right to retake them at any time. The use and occupancy it has enjoyed for nearly half a century is ample compensation to it for any expense it may be compelled to incur now in re-opening these streets. Its assumption of a right
to indicate what streets shall be opened, and how and when, and to demand any part of the expense from the city or to lake any terms' -whatever, is mere insolence. What will the city attorney advise and the council do?

W. W. Hatch & Sons informed the
frnrn tint thnir ffintnrt fnr nnviruM
North Michigan street is now fully
performed and asked that the work
be accepted. They also presented a
bill for paving the street intersections,
amounting to about $6,000, and asked
that it be paid. The council decided
that the bill ought not to bo consider
ed until the city commissioners make
heir assessment list for the entire
improvement and that the job should not be accepted until the contractors remove the sand from the surface of
;he paving and a proper inspection is lad. The star performance of the evening
was that of Superintendent McKim,
of the Pennsylvania railway, who ap
peared for the purpose of showing the
council some things about the needed
street crossings over that campany's
line in this city.
He said, did Mr. McKim, or practi
cally saidjthat the citizens of Plymouth
don't know anything about what they need, and if they did know it should cut no ice for the reason thrift some
eastern states have some laws, the ap
plication of which to this particular case was not made quite clear.
Mr. McKim had some estimates,
made by the company's engineer with
out any opportunity for examination
by anybody on the part of the city, and these estimates he laid before the council apparently with the idea that
the magnitude of the figures would staler the members and end the bus
iness then and there. A subway at Center street, said Mr. McKim, would cost $8,500; one at Walnut street, under five tracks,
would cost $17,000, and one at Third street, under two tracks, would cost $7,500, or under four tracks, $12,000. He did not suggest what it might cost to construct grade crossings at any of these points and protect them by watchmen, as is done in every other sizable city his railway passes through, and in this omission Mr. McKim was wily. ' 4 'Now,' ' says Mr. McKim," we will construct subways at Center and Third streets, at a cost of $16,000, of which we will pay $11,000 and the city $5,000, and the crossing at- Fifth street is to be abandoned and closed. " Somebody suggested Miner street, but that was met contemptuously with
the inference that there is no necessity for a crossing there and nobody wants It. Just why the city should not have
Look Out for Fakes. Soap swindlers are reaping a rich harvest in parts of Berrien county, says the St. Joseph Press. One day last week two well dressed young men struck the south end of this countv and worked their game to a finish. They have also been at Michigan City and Laporte. They claim to be introducing a new brand of toilet soap. The price of the soap was 50 cents a box, and they agreed to give five yards of Brussels carpet with each box purchased. The soap was to be paid for and delivered at the time of taking the order, but the carpet was not to be delivered for a week. When questioned as to how they could sell carpet so cheap they said that merchants were simply robbing the public and that Brussels carpet could be bought from the looms at 9 cents a yard. So enticing were tjiey with their promise that many families were taken in for one or more boxes. Within a few hours some $50 were obtained and the fakirs left. A strange thing was that almost every one realized within a few minutes after the swindlers were jrone that they were cheated. An cxamination of the soap revealed that it was of the cheapest quality.
EPWORTH HERALD ON ANARCHY
Methodist Organ Denounces "Yellow Journalism" and Its Cartoons. The Epworth Herald, the Rev. Dr. J. F. Berry, editor, which is a weekly Methodist paper with a circulation of nearly 150,000 and goes all over the world, printed the following editorial in its issue cf Sept. 21, under the caption, 4 'Making Anarchists:" 4 'It is no.v clear that Czolgosz is not a lunatic, but an anarchist. It is said that he learned his anarchistic sentiments from Emma Goldman. That woman has done much harm. But it is more probable that this man, whom every American loathes, got some of his education from certain daily papers which are widely circulated in centers of our population. The cartoons in these papers äre only a trifk more dangerous than their editorial utterances. Thev array class against class, and promote a bitterness which logically ends in open and destructive violence. Every wild-eyed socialist, every blatant anarchist reads thesi inflammatory sheets v with delight. He is strengthened in his war against all authority. He concludes that his industrial and political vagaries are indorsed in places of influence. It is no wonder we have anarchy in New York and Chicago. Indeed, it is a wonder we do not have more of it. "We do not risk much in asserting that the murderous Czolgosz had filled his head with this sort .of incendiarism. His act was that of a man with a diseased brain, and the utterly illogical idea that social inequalities can be changed by murder of rulers. The publication of tnese damnable cartoons has no excuse in disease or ignorance. They are incendiary attacks against law and order by persons intelligent enough to know the wrong, but reckless of the results of such inflammatory and diabolical incentives to do evil. 'In view of the murderous assault upon the President we wonder what the publishers of the Chicago Ameri
can, the New York Journal, and the
Detroit Evening News think of the teachings of their papers during the
past few months. Such papers should be compelled .to cease to incite hatred against men who have attained
prominence in commercial and politi
cal life, or be suppressed. The liberty
of the press is one thing. Unbridled license to promote the spirit of anarchy is another." -
