One of the most important decisions
in the history of the supreme court of
Minnesota was that handed down yes
terday in the appeal of the city in the
matter of the construction of a bridge
across the tracks of the Great Northern
railroad at Twenty-ninth avenue NE.
This decision sweeps away the hither
to accepted. burden o the eommtmity
to bear the cost of bridges over tracks
which antedate the opening of the
streets across them. In the district
court Judge Holt held with the rail
roads that auch a burden was on the
city and dismissed the complaint. The I
supreme court reverses his decision and
Temands the matter for retrial and in*
eidentally lays"'down the principles to
be followed in such a manner that there
can be no doubt of the outcome of such
cases in the future.
The supreme court, in brief, decides
that the railroad company accepted its
charter -with a provision that it would
keep highways crossing its right of
way in such a state of repair as not
to interfere with their free and proper
use. City Attorney Healy, in his argu
ment, contended that the railroad's
duty was the same at all times that its
priority in the matter of time was im
material that the provision of its char
ter applied to streets laid out across
the railroad after. its construction as
well as before that the city could not
contract away its police power' to, en?
force the rights: of.- theHpTubHci that
the bridge demanded ts^as-purely-.'!a
safety device differing in./construction,
but not in vr^i^aS|)le, frorjou a, ga|e
The court'upholds him on eye*y'point
raked' arid adefs ^nlLt'-hei^W^ffia^tate
~nor any subdivision thereof can by
affirmative ae^iQa^or /By injao^on -per
manently divest itself of thJs{.aattiority
and power to exercise its police rights
and duties.
The laager aspect of the case is in its
influence on the general grade crossing
problem. The proceedings in the coun
cil have halted while this-vmatter was
in the supreme court, but how that the
law is laid down it becomes the duty
of the city council to press for an ar
rangement which will be adequate for
the protection of the public, without
having to face the proposition that
nothing can be done because of the bur
den of bonds involved in building the
necessary bridges over streets -opened
subsequently to the railroad, the de
cision will, no doubt, make a difference
in the railroad attitude toward the
problem, too. If the railroads must
pay for all bridges, they will have to
be shown the necessity in each case.
This will be but a matter of .gathering
competent evidence and presenting-ft
to the court. The grade crossing prob
lem is put in the way of solution.

The New Tork Daily Banker aud

is not responding as freely as could be
wished to the overtures of the 'currency

of Commerce with regard to legisla

Tho Resultp of the Session.
The fifty-ninth congress has made his
tory. It has had an eventful exist
ence. The group of laws made by the
first session of this congross maris &n
era in American legislation. The rate
bill, the pure food bill, the meat in
spection bill, the free alcohol bill, the
canal bill, and the immigration bill are
ail noteworthy."\The rate bill aarts
the right and duty of congress to" con*
trol corporations -engaged in interstate
transportation. The" meat and pure
food bills assert the same right and
duty over the manufacture of articles
intended for interstate distribution.
These bills met some opposition from
the state's rights, people, but that oppo-
-sition gave way before the argument
of common sense that congress having
the power to act and- the duty to apt
being pressing it should not shirk the
burden, but assume it and carry It
The states axe not debarred thereby
from exercising their own police powers
concurrently within their own .-jurisdic
tion. V- "c
The ree) alcohol: bill was a piece of
remedial legislation calculated to bring
down a.oorrupt monopoly of the means
of power and light. I was simple in,
principle involving nothing but a re
mission by the federal government of
a tax which it had a perfect right to
levy and collect.
The canal bill settled a question
which had vexed and annoyed the coun
try and amused foreigners. It makes
up the mind of the Amerioan people.
The immigration pill iB not specially
noteworthy except as showing that, con
gress is-ibeginnings toJthink seriously

The passage of such a remarkable

congress as having'"had leadership.
But wh'en'we ebme to look for the lead
er, iir is -rather remarkable that we do
not find him in- either house of congress.
It is merely stating the truth to say
that the hand is the hand of Boosevelt.
The .rate. bill and the meat bill were
passed him. The canal-bill-is in. the
same category, and the alcohol bill and
immigration bills were urged wptrti thetwo!
attention of congress by him In Spe
cial and general messages. The pure
food bill passed in the senate as the re
sult of a long wrestle1
of that body with
the question. When it reached the
house~it was fortuitously mixed up
with the meat inspection discussion,
which the president had provoked. In
the. eyes of the people the two were
one.. They demanded both and.^wevare
inclined to believe that the' house un
der the thumb of Speaker Cannon
grudgingly gave either.
Congress at the "session just closed
has given the country results of more
than.ordinary value It. would be. pleas
ant to be able tOj.aceept them as from
the hands1 of aii altogether cheerful giv
er^Vtt Would be an-error, however, to
ignore the fact that- the national legis
lature has been under heavier pressure
during the past session from public
sentiment and from the executive de
partment than it has been accustomed
to. It would be quite too generous tb
grant that such highly beneficent re
sults would have been attained in such
large measure without the spur of a
thoroly aroused public and the nearby
presence of an executive whose most
distinguished characteristic is his habit
of going directly after results.

Saloons and School Buildings.
The city council" Was busy last night.
It. transacted a.Jlarg e, amount of rour
tine work'and started'some matters of
general interest. Among the latter was

purchase of a municipal stonecrusher,

proximity to ischool builclingS" aitd' the
movement to repeal the Duryea ordi
nance regarding additions. -T-:
"The latter has been asked by the
Real Estate board, which feels that
the ordinance may tend to retard the
healthy growth of the real-estate mar^
ke't by imposing an unnecessary bur
den upon the platting of additions.
There are gbod features in the Duryea
ordinance. It should not be abandoned
entirely, tho, as h, our a 1

decision means millions, of dollars tb

eduction of "Joan of Are,"'St the
next week. The title role
will be-played by. Florence Stone, whose
interpretation- of the. "Maid, of Or
leans" has won.the praise of critics
and the public. This will be her first
local appearance in the part, and sup
ported as she will be, by the members
of the Ferris' stock company, a rare
treat for devotees of dramatic art is
assured.
The version of "-Joan of Arc se
cured by Mr. Ferris is a translation
from the French play in which Sarah
Bernhardt won the enthusiastic approv
al of. the most critical audiences, and
is the script used by Fanny Davenport
and several other great artists.
-iTo expense or -work, has beeftj. spared
by Mr. Ferris and Sedley Brown, his
stage director, ta make the production
worthy of the play. The scenery, from
the "vision scene" to the burning of
Joan at the stake and including a
most elaborate battle set, has been es
pecially prepared.
Lyceum Theater
"The Silver King, a melodrama

leading woman, wilr ap

Will afford her the best opportunity of
her engagement. All the other favor

parts.
It is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that no play dealing with human emo
tions, with the possible exception of
"Monte Cristo," ever appealed more
strongly to the best impulses of the
human heart that "The Silver King."
The story of "The Silver King," is
the story of a crime. A drunken hus
band is axonBed "trom a, brawl to believe
himself a murderer. His hated rival
has been slain, there has beea a fight
in' which he participated"the rest
