unless helped. The food in which ho
invested mainly proved to be corn juice.
Yesterday ho appeared horo. IIo struck
ono of the citizens on the cork leg racket
and won n good deal taken back when
told : "I'vo hoard of you before. I road
TUB BEE. " The follow who Is always
about to pawn his leg , turned away
angrily , and walked off , rather discourag
ed at the prospect of working this side of
the rivor.
There was not a very largo audience at

uro excellent. And what in strange , they
nro now. A more enthusiastic reception
is seldom over given to a play than was
accorded to "Tactics" last night.
The paving of the streets and alloys
will do little good if persons are to bo
illowcd to throw out ashes and rubbish ,
Mid mud and filth are allowed to accumu-
ato. The first paving in the city was
; ho alloy back of Shugart's ; Whollor's ,
) tc. , on Main street. That alloy is now

THE STREET OAR LINE ,
Will tlio City Council Ilorrow Alone
I''or the Union PnclllcV
The city officials nro still discussing th
matter of paving the street car track
All agree that the law is very plain 01
the matter and that the company nwnin
the street car line must either pave th
same or neglecting to do so the city ma ;
cause it to bo paved and the coat assessoi
up against all the property of the compn
ny within the city limits , and if the as
scssmont is not paid within sixty day
then the city can proceed as in case c
other property delinquent for taxes.
The Union Pacific company has tel
the council that it cannot pay for pavin ;
just now , and that the city may go ahoai
and let the contract but wantfl the cit ;
to issue bonds and give the city oigh
years in which to pay the same as othc
property owners instead of foicing payment
mont within sixty days , City attorno ;
Holmes has presented to the council
way by which the city council may h
thinks , dodge the state law , and give th
company the time nsked for , and Ooorg
F. Wright , attorney for the company
has protoutcdhis scheme for dodging tin
law.
law.Tho
The fooling of the citizens , however , i
atmnttly against any dodging. It seems
pretty evident that the Union Pacifi
company does not propose to pay fo
paving if it can got out of it , aid if then
is to bo litigation to any great extent
the city can ill ailbrd to makn mattori
worse muddled by doing an illegal act
The Union Pacific may promise not to
litigate , if the city will only do an illega
act , but as soon as the act is done , tin
Union Pacific would bo the first to taki
advantage of it , and get out of pavin ]
altogether.
The only safe course ia for the cil ;
council to do what it iaaworn to dofolloi
the law , and then lot the Union Pacifi
borrow its own money instead of borrow
ing it for the corporation. Any dodginj
of the question , or evading the law , wil
simply involve the city in a litigation , o
else will result in the Uni"n Pacific getting
ting out of paying for the pavement.
It is nonaonao for the Union Pacific ti
aoy it cannot raise § 20,000 , while at tin
same time it has the cheek to ask thi
city to raise the money for it , and premises
isos to let it bo a lien on § 500,000 wortl
of U. P. property in this city. If thii
security is good enough for the city , whj
is It not good enough for some money
lender to advance the § 20,000 on. If it i
not safe for the money-lender to loai
$20,000 , it surely ia not safe for the city
The city is not in the monpy-londing bus
ineas , especially not lending money t <
corporations. But all this poverty ploi
of the Union Pacific acorns simply a pretext
text to got out of paying at all for the
pavement.
The company may threaten to take uj
ita tracks , it may show its tooth , but it"
throats are no worse than ita promtsoa
nd even if the desired accommodatior
ivna done by an illegal trick , the company
would bo very likely to resume its throat
when collection of assessments were at
tempted. The council will only do thi
public will when it fol ows out the law
If the law is too ironclad , that is thi
fault of the legislators , not of the council
