IS ACT OF 1865 BAD? Municipal League Tries to Prove It May Be Assailed. a III Ik I I IboUto rMivirnLci i Shows Strength of Ninety-Nine Year Claim of Car Lines. Gives Gm4 lira of Iaaportaaee to City of Arrrpttas Caralt Ordlama.ee. PrP-. Published by George B.

Cief the Municipal Voters league, a. pamphlet ha recently V. 1 1 a nlMOv if thk street-railroad law of 1865. While In proof till article waa given -for publication and Indorsement to th-e newspapers in Chicago which are known to be hostile to the traction companies, a copy waa withheld' from The Inter Ocean under the fear. a Mr.

Cole expressed it. that "The Inter Ocean would cut th stuffing out of it." This paper la now able to give an account of the argument advanced by the league. So far from showing hostility to honest argument, however. The Inter Ocean and the street-rail road companies are atrongly in favor of It. This is hard for the enemies of the car lines to understand.

On of the most striking and significant contrasts between the attitudes of the traction companies mil ttuir nnrmnents la contained, la this fact. The street railroads have always asked for Investigation, for argument, and for popular acquaintance with the truth of their relations to the city. The trust newspapers and their allies, the "reform" organizations, have always sougm to suppress aji street -car matter not hurtful to the companies, and to keep wit. I 4 AB. tti.

Jsct a possible. The traction lines have con-' aistently prayed for light; their enemies have, steadily sought the darkness of Ignorance and prejudice. So the new pamphlet published by. the Municipal Voters' league Is welcomed rather tbsn otherwise by the street-railroad com-pauie. That Is because It Is honest and fair, though misguided.

Such publications as the Harlan rtport, however, being thoroughly dishonest and1 the outcome of wrong intentions, deserve a different reception. They and their authors merit being held up to the scorn and disapprobation of the community. luilratt mt the Passable. The Municipal Voters' league pamphlet purports to be a communication to President Cole signed by Alderman E. P.

Herrmau of the Twenty-First ward and F. M. Winston. Both of the writers are lawyers and occupy offices In the same suite. The entire argument as presented Is on legal forms and constructions, and is hard for the lay reader to understand.

Stripped of its technicalities. It Is an attempt to show certain points wherein the validity of the ninety-nine year act of 1865. under which the street-railroad companies possess the right to operate the majority of their trunk lines until 1958, may possibly be attacked. The general purpose of the pamphlet is best given by quoting its concluding paragraph, as follows: The conclusion to be drawn sad to be kept la mind in this matter is that the legal position of the companies It not by any means as Impregnable aa sometimes claimed." The pamphlet opens with the query. "I the ninety-nine year act valid The expressed opinions of the late Judge Julius 8.

OrinnelL, Judge Francis Adams, and I-. Bonney are attacked as follows: "It Is sufficient to say that neither Mr. Grinnell nor Mr. Bonney. who were legal representatives of the street-railway companies.

can be considered Impartial Judges. Their were the optnlons of lawyers In favor of their clients. As to Corporation Counsel Adams' opinion, ne unaouoieoiy aia noia ine ninety-nine year act' constitutional and valid. So far as the particular objection he considers Is concerned. It is conceded he was right.

He considered only the question of the Legislature's power to pass the act. But he did not consider the Interpretation of the act. What he would have decided on that question does not appear, end that is the one to be discussed. It has never been asserted, so far as we know, that the Legislature lacked the power to past the so-called 'ninety-nine year but It is denied that the companies secured corporate existence from their alleged charters, or that, rightly interpreted, the act granted ninety-nine year franchises." Lslltre Had Power. It has often been asserted, and in fact was relied upon as the main point of attack by the forces in 1883.

that the Legislature had bo power to pass the act of 1863. Careful study by lawyers, however, has always led to in same conclusion wnicn me authors of the pamphlet reach, that the Legislature bad the power. With the power and the intention to extend the franchises of the street-railroad companies- to ninety-nine years. It is not remarkable that the matter was accomplished. As for the objection made to Judge Orln-neli's opinion, it is sufficient to quote the statement with which be concluded an exhaustive opinion on the validity of the act of 165.

He said: "The conclusions above were entertained and expressed by me while occupying the position of city attorney, although such fact may add nothing to the weight of my opinion then or now. But it Is exceedingly gratifying to a lawyer that his mature research, study, and conclusions sustain the opinion of earlier years, and that the conclusions reached fifteen years ago are fortified by subsequent reason and decisions." It might be added, in stating the weight of opinion in favor of the validity of the act of 1S65, that Carter H. Harrison. expressed himself from the mayor's chair as perfectly certain It would stand every test In the courts. He said of it: "I have always entered upon the discussion of that act with all my prejudices arrayed against it, but I am forced to yield to the opinion of lawyers far better than myself that the act of 1865 is valid." Even In the Harlan report, ou page 17 and other places.

It Is not "hard to read between the lines an abiding conviction of the writer that the law of 1865 Is valid. With the exception of the authors of the league pamphlet, (ran first to last, all lawyers who have studied the ninety-nine-year law carefully believe in Its validity. Ararasaeat Is Iaarealeaa. The argument which Messrs. Herrmaa and Winston use to show that the act of 1865 and traat.n llro4 Ctm klT WFlk SDOtS in them, is incestous.

The clause Is theetat constitution of 1848 regarding ths titles of laws is taken. It reads a follows: "No private or local law which may be passed by the General Aeembly shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall De expresses in toe uue. Under this provision of the constitution of 1848 It is attempted to show that ths titles nf iii fnmrna ratine- acts and the extension set of 18C5, regarding tne street-ran roaa com- A M.I 1 11.11 1 ipaa.es, are dul mucicnu piiL. i alia' undertaken to prove that the street-car "lines in the territory which has been aa-nexed to Chicago are without authority. Here, however, the sad mistake was made of basing the argument on a statement st the Harlan report.

Finally, after saying a dosen times that the act of 1865 tried to extend ths ordinance rights of the street-railroad companies to ninety-nine years, the argument comes to the astonishing conclusion: "The ninety-nine year act does not in terms profess or pretend to extend ordinance rights for. ninety-nine years. WW frV- i. niMi rt ttita III V. iiiv W.K.i7'i..u.

line of argument should show, an effort Is made to. prove that the use of mechanical motive power Is unauthorised during the extension granted by the ninety-nine-year act. Ths' right of the city to purchase some six ur icu ujijve hi umKm vuuri viu viuiuava Is Also brought np, although the city at ver has had the charter power gives It to go lato mm i iuiui The pamphlet concludes with the following opinions backed -up by many cases and much legal technicality: even if sad other ebjectisns which might be made to ths- position! of the street-car companies are wholly fallacious, it must be noted that the-impartance of ths act of 1865. ss construed by. the companies, is vastly overrated." Even If the pamphlet proved all It sets out to prove, it would merely shew that the poet tloa of the street-railroad companies tinder the nlnety-slne-yesr law could be attacked legally, though with but small chances for succest.

But the weskness of the arguments adduced rather serves to confirm the lmpreg nable position which the car lines would oc cupy if they wished to resort to Isw for a continuation of present operating rights. The detslls of the legal argument will be taken up In a succeeding article, and the most con splcuous points la support of this conclniton will be ilven. The pamphlet is valuable in the Interests of popular education on street-railroad subjects. although so technical as to be hard reading for the average cltisen. No on perusing It carefully, however, can fall to see the strength of the street-railroad companies' position and the magnitude of the legal fight In which the city will become Involved If it refuses to exnd the compromise ordinances of 1883.

With an adequate and even generous compensation offered to the city by the car lines. provided all differences are put aside for fifty years more. It seems incredible that the officers of the present; jrorerBment will not strain every nerve to secure peace. For on thii point, more thsn soy other-one thing, the Immediate prosperity of Chicago depends. JAMES ft.

The fifth floor of the Mandel Bros, estab lishment, when will form one of the most extensive and thoroughly equipped dressmaking floors in the country, besides being sn interesting, artistic ides. The entire north snd east ends will be dereted to the workrooms, while the south division, facing State and Madison streets, is arranged in one long elliptical sweep, dainty and original idea for a reception aad show room, done In true empire, white with gilt BnUh-ings.

and lighted by myriads of depending electric globes. The room is bright with daylight on all sides, while off from It are numerous smaller apartments, amply large to accommodate a fitting without the usual cramping and stepping on of toes. Immense mir rors swinging from the walls giv a good view of the figure, and all appointments are upon the same liberal and tasteful scale. One side of the reception-room is lined with hesvy plat showcases, in which the costlier fabrics and laces will continually dis played. The lighting arrangement for these cases is excellent and adds a great item to the perfection of Beyond these sgsln will be a series of suites in which only evening gowns and accessories will be shown.

the Idea for this being to show the exact ap pearance of a style or a fabric under gas light and society surroundings. An equestrian room is also a feature, fully equipped with equine model and mount posts. The force of workmen were busy as bees until lste into the night getting down the carpet, which was made by the house, put ting into position the empire furniture, spe dally designed for the rooms, and putting the last finishing upon everything in gen eral. The ladies who attend the opening of these rooms tomorrow will find something dis tinctively novel and attractive, making the experience of fitting a costume more of a pleasure than a task as heretofore. The stock of Imported snd domestic novelties which this house will show at Its empire opening can be Imagined from the fact that a former Chicago society woman, now a resident of the Waldorf-Astoria In New Tork, and who has Just returned from a summer on the continent, happened Into ths showrooms last week snd was being shown the new goods and importations, "It's no use, Mr.

Mandel: yon cannot tcmot me; I've Juit left my order with Felix before a cam away uorn- Paris." she. said, when taken upstairs. However, after an hour's Inspection of the costumes snown her, she csbled to Psrls canceling her order snd left one with the Chicago house for almost 12.000 worth of gowns and millinery. A word to the wise is sufficient, while the rooms and their equipment will spesk for themselves. TELEPHONE RATES ARE.CUT.

Armies that have accomplished far less for their country and for humanity hav been welcomed home with triumphal arches, costly monuments hav been built to their memory, poets hav sung their valor, and history recorded their deeds In imperishable volumes, A man who battled for his country from 'SI to 'S5 gave up blj business and periled In ths cause of freedom has surely won the right to sit quiet ly his fireside. But whan that man a second time unsheaths his sword and goes to face sot only the enemy guna, but th awful fevers of a deadly climate, the country stands ready to applaud his valor snd commemorate nis aeeas. nut Denied tne officers were the brsve soldiers, with the musket: the brave sailors that stood at the guns ready to go down with ths ship-If needs be.

I am also one of those who believe that th boys who carry th rifle are the backbone of the country. The First regiment, I. N.

Of those who did not 60 percent wer unable to get in from physical causes or had families dependent on thetn and could not go. Th regiment did more hard work and mors kinds of work thsn any other two regiment in the service. It nursed the sick in division hospitals.

unloaded commissary stores week after week for a whole brigade. It built roads and dug trenches. It furnished the engineer corps for Port Rico and it stayed in Santiago for weeks after every other regiment that hat? been In battle there had gone. And it has never complained. Papers hsve published hundreds of interviews with me snd my men which were pure fabrications.

We have never complained. For the first three days thst we were in the trenches at Santiago we were short of rations, but was because there was no way of getting them to us. When they did corns they were good. I want to say to yon and to all the country that I never saw a moldy piece of hardtack or bad piece of meat- while I was out. And when we were st the front where they say we got all those things I had th same fare as the men.

I banished the canteen, not from temperance scruples, but becsus the use of liquor made our men unfit to face the climate. We lost aeventy men out of 1,800.
