EDIToRs JoURNAL:-The fact has become
notorious, that Evansville has outsEipped
her sister cities on the lower Ohio,e and is
now far in advance of any other city in the
State as a commercial point. With her
Green river and Wabash trade her canal
aud railroad advantages, she must and will
keep far in advance of any and all conrJet-
itors. But while nature and art have thus
surrounded us with such advantages, it is
astonishing that those who iivdNhpon her
bounty, and whose property is greatly en-
HANGED in value by this increased amount of
business which she does, should slumber
upon one of the most vital and important
matters connected with her growth, and
upon which, to a considerable extent, the
Increase of her business depends.
We boast our Railroads and Canals, aud
may | ask for what purpose they were
built2 To facilitate travelsan the trans
portation of goods. These are now the
great Streets of our State. The State which
has advanced the least in this particular is
looked upon as " old fogy, or far behind in
this age of improvement; and the city which
neRlecIS 10 Improve HeT CnOTOuBuIdTeS
[streets) may be cIassed in the same cate
CORY. In this respect Evansville occupies
an unenviable position. While many cities
of our State, with less advantages, and a
smaller population than Evansville, have
miles of improved streets, she is compara-
lively without any. Hs ae@
At time like this, when the mud is so
deep that it is almost Impossible for country
people to enter or leave the city, would it
not be well to set about the work of getting
up petitions to present to the City Council.
There are many reasons why this should be
done, some of which we will name: By
| taking immediate steps in the matter, the
work can be commenced in time to secure
the completion of some of the principal
streets of the city. Again, a contract can
be made on better terms for the city, by let
ting the contract out early, that the con-
tractor or contractors may have the advan-
tage of the Spring rise to bring their
material to the city. Still another, and the
most important consideration-the sooner q
movement is made in this matter, the sooner
Evansville can boast OF improved streets.

to quote from bis past opinions respecting TIE question

dreps meeting 70 which he was invited by Mr.. John
Cochrsne, in July, 1913, Judge Bronson said:
Slavery cannot exist where there is no positive
law 10 uphold it, IL is not necessary that " should De
forbidden; il is enough that it IL not specially author
lied State iaps hare ertra Ierr'toraai anIhoTHyj
and a law Of Virginia, which makes slave there,
cannot make him a saye in New-York, nor beyond
the Rocky Mountsns. If our Southern brethren wish
to carry their slaves TO Oregon NewMexico, or Cali
fornia they will he upder the necessity OF asking law
10 warrant il; and 1t will then be in time for ne Free
States TO re.st the measure as caunot doubt they
would with unpapering frmness. But if our South
EN- brethren should make the question, we shalt hare
no choice but 10 meet 10 aud then @haterer conse-
quenees may follow, trust the people OF t3e rec
States will give A UNITED VOICE against allowing
Slavery on single foot of soil where it is not now
authorized by law"
