THE Evansville JOURNAL is Ger
tainly pursuing a very dishonest
course in relation to railroads. A
short time ago, when the proposition
to order an election in Pigeon Town
ship to vote $4,000 aid to the
Straight Line Railroad was before
the Commissioners of Vanderburgh
County, that paper. With determined
effort to defeat the proposition, de-
voted column after column in argu-
ments that the success Of the propo
sition would impose a ruinous and
hlrdensome tax upon the people Of
Pigeon Township tax they could
not bear. The result was the Com
missioners refused to order the elec-
tion.
Now the JOURNAL, a few weeks
later, day after day, lit lengthy articles.
is urging the citizens of Evansville to
subscribe $500, 600 to aid In the build
ing of the Evansville q Carmi Road.
If there is anything honest in the
JOURNALS S course we fail to see it.
Petersbrgh Press.
We regret that the ill-nature of the
Press has caused it to deviate 50
widely from the truth. The JOURNAL
never devoted column after column
il arguments against a donation to
the Straight Line Road, on the ground
that it would impose a burdensome
and ruinous tax upon the people o1
Pigeon Township. The position the
JOURNAL did take was, that the
County Commissioners had no right
to order an election in the Township
after the county had exhausted its
power to donate in its appropriation
OF two per cent. to the Evansville
Carmi & st. Louis Railroad. The
Commissioners were sustained in the
same view of the subject by the bes
legal talent in the city. and the
friends of the Straight Lice ROAD
conceded the point by not bring
ing the whole subject before tht
Courts as we repeatedly advised then
to do, if they thought the action o
the Commissioners was wrong.
The friends of the Straight Line
Road were repeatedly urged to asl
the City Council to take stock IN thei
enterprise, but refused to do so, OIL
the ground that they did not wan
any more stockholders. Donation
were what they wanted, not partners
Had they asked the city to take stool
in their enterprise the Straight Lin
would, in all probability, have take
precedence over the last subscriptio
to the Carmi and st. Louis Road.
But does it not come.with poo
grace from the Press or the people G
Pike County to lecture US in behalf
the Straight Line Road, after votin
down donation Eto that enterprise
as they did few weeks ago, b
an overwhelming majority2 Is no
such conduct what the Press call
downright impudence coupled wit
pure cussidness?" 1t strikes us tia
way.

The proposition to donate one
hundred thousand dollars to the
Evansville, Carmi and st. Louis Rail-
road, which was submitted to tho
voters Of White County on the I'd
inst, was defeated by majority of
seveatythree. Sisgularly enough, the
vote against the donation in the town
of Carmi was precisely seventy three.
We think the progressive citizens of
the town viii feel considerably like
drumming the seVenty-three out of
The community We see, however. by
the Carmi Courier that the County
Court has ordered special election
on the same proposition, to be held
On the 18th Of fDecember, at which we
have no doubt the donation will be
carried by a handsome majority. The
Road must be Constructed, and White
County is expected to contribute her
share. We feel confident that the
people will do it.
