W. F. SMITH, Jeweler,
805 Washington Ave.,
Cairo, Illinois.
The time has come when there
should be a great awakening on the
subject of inland navigation. River-;
men ttill hope for a return of the pond
old time when the .te.imbiiatd w 11 en
joy t'he piesuii'.e they once Hd. A
revival hus been felt in the
business of thf? boats in all sections
this year, reople appear to haw come
to the conclusion that the best thing
they could do was to make the best
possible use of the means of trans
portation nature has given them. No
country on tartn aas oeen so oounu-
fully supplied wiih waterways a tile
United States, and part'ctilarly that
portion of it lying between the Alleg
heny and the Rocky mountains and
no oth.?r part of the globe is so fruit
ful in the production of all things that
conduce to the support of and happi
ness of the human race.
When put in careful cultivation and
ill that is in it can be brought out.
the MissUs'ppi valley can feed and
lothe the world. It has every va
ic;y of climate from the frigid to the
emi-tropieal. and is Ty all odds the
-nost desirable place on the planet for
he abode of men. When all these
hings are taken info consideration, ii
s plain that tno rivers me natural
means of transportation snoum tie
kept !n good shape at all times. .
The Mississippi river is the natural
route from the grain fields of the north
o the Gulf of Mexico, near -which
essels can be loaded for all parts of
he world. In its meandering course
'mm ita head to its mown, it laves thf
tore? of ten of most produtm
slates of the union and besides thf
rain, which can be produced n nnltm
fed quantities, it. passes through the
otton and sugar plantations of the
south. Many of the tributaries of the
father of Waters are no less impo"
ant than the main rrream Itself and
he people dwelling near them have
earned to appreciate their value.
Without the Ohio river to float the
rent fleets of coal to a market, the
vast deposits of m'neral fuel found
lear the head of that stream would
Kit be worth one-naif what it. is at
present, and hundreds of manufac
uring establishments that -are. not
'in at a profit, without cheap cort!
vnuld be compelled to remain idle.
It is perfectly natural 'hat peop!
-hould be interested in river improv
ments, and that they should assemble
ogether. in convention to discuss th
best methods to be pursued, and to
letition Congress for the necessary
funds to carry them into effect. The
?reat importance of the Mississippi
river as a commercial highway, the
ast extent of the interest dependent
pon it and affected by it, and its in
'V.M-ncp on the general prosperity of
(., erjtira cnmmun'ty are all such :
deserve the mot liberal 'reatme
it the hands of the general govern
nent, to the end that its improve
nent may be made so complete that
t will furnish at all tiroes an unob
ifructed outlet, to the sea for th stir-
ulus products of the Mississippi Val
ley.
The time will come when steamers
will do a greater business than they
lid before the country was a net
vork of railroad. It. will be greater.
'.lecauso our rivers will have unob-
t'ticted navigation. Everything is to
heir advantage, for instance' one
owhoat can easily take as much down
'he. river as a dozen railroad trans,
ind at a much less cost. It Is strange
hat more people do not travel by
v uter than do. It is a thousand time-
more safe than a railroad train. Pas
senger business has been better this
ear than for many years and it will
inly be a question of time when peo
ple will give the river preference boih
in travel and rrcight. aterway s
Journal.
For the purpose of making answer
to the large number of inquiries ami
complaints that have reached the gov
eruor and the attorney general in re
gard to enforcement tf local laws, At
torney General Stead Saturday gave
out an opinion in which he gives as his
interpretation that it is not the duty
of the governor tei l:tl;e a baud 111 tne
enforcement f p.ilie' and munii ipal
l.i"'. The (a'nu.is run ;. lilt i. hi pro-vid-s
thflt -the Minrrme executive
power shall be v.--ted in the
governor, who shall take ear.' uiai un
laws be faithfully evecut.il." Accord
ing to the opinion of the attorney
general, so far as municipalities, coun
ties or towns are concerned the peo
ple shall have, local self government,
but of the civil enforcement of these
'aws through the courts is resisted,
then it is the duty of the governor
of the state to call upon the military
power.
The opinion has gained some preva
lence in the sate that wherever local
officials fail in the enforcement of the
laws that it the duty of the chief ex
ecutive to interfere. The objections
that have reached the .governor and
the attorney general are mostly from
ministers, who state Hint the local offi
cials fail to prevent burse racing
ambling and Sun. lay base ball games.

Robbed Villa Ridge Postoffiee.
Oliver McCool, agd 19 years, is in
he jail at Mound City, charged with
having robbed the post ffice at Villa
iidge ' recently. He stole a small
s mount 01 money ami aiso a tew ar-
el'-s of wearing apparel from th
-tore of Snaulding and Crane, in which
he poet office is located. He was ar
rested by Pulaski county authorities
Sunday and soon after confessed. Ho
viil b3 turned over to the United
States authorities.
A further delay in the settlement of
tho Uinois freight ra'es cases, which
is being watched w;lh interest by
many local shippers, wherein a mini
ber of shippers of the state seek to
procure a reduction in freight rates by
the state board of railroad and ware
house cr mmission, will probably result
from the filing of the supplemental
bri.'f by Form.'r Attrney General It
.1 Hamlin who represents the ship
per;. The :-iipplt'iu.-iil:il bii.-t a - fil') With
the FPcrct.iry of tho commlrp,ion petfl
forth i number of allegations not
contained in the original briefs and n
copy will be sent to each of the rail
roads interested in the case and the
defendants will probably make their
replies to the secretary within a short
time.
Status of Railroad in State.
In the i-upplemental brief Mr. Hutu
:;n presents the Iliino's status govern
ing the operation of railways in the
State and also defines the power of the
State board of railroad and ware
house commissioners. Attention is
called to over capitalization and d;s
crimination and argues that evidence
has ben introduced to show that this
provision of the state law has ben
'violated by tho railroads.
Commodity and special rates n cer
tain localities of the state are also
.dealt with in the additional brief pre
sent ed by Mr. Hamlin.
Contracts have been let by (he Big
Four management for uew equipment
to be delivered to it before Jan. 1 next,
which will cost $3,500,000. It will con
sist of fiftv locomotives and 3,000
freight cars. This additional equip
ment has been procured with a special
view to the ulevelopment of the ccal
traftie of the road In its Cairo divhdon.
It U the intention that through lb
iieM-lupmcnt of (his coal traffic the
Bis Four .shall become the supplier of
all fuel required by all the Vanderbilt
mads west of Buffalo. To assist in
the development of this traffic. 100
miles of new road are now being built 1
between Danville and Indiana Harbor,
at a cost of about $3,000,000. The ex
pense of its construction will be born?
lointly by the Lake Shore, the Michl
san Central and tho Canada Southern.
Ir will give the Big Four direct con
nection with the Lake Shore and fur
nish that road with an entry Into the
city of Chicago, entirely Independent
of that it now has over the Illinois
Central from Kankakee.
In the opinion of Big Four officials
the completion of the plans now in pro
gress will' strengthen the line 50 per
cent in its ability to compete for traffic
and to enlarge its present volume of
business in territory strictly its own.
iThoy believe that before May 1. next.

on Sycamore street a week ago yes
t. r.i 1 . by city ja.i. r m. L.titz.
No one has called to make inquiry
regarding the property and the police
