MCs-fs. Eduorsf
As faithful sentinels you have signaled
= wrong inflicted upon the business men
! OF Cairo, that calls for the application Of
u speedy remedy. The question should
come home To- every citizen, shall the
Illinois Central railroad company be per-
United To continue their unjust and bur
densome DETERMINATION In the matter
Of freights against Cairo? Giving, as
that company does, an advantage OF six
" cents out OF every one hundred, TO
towns and cities around us, all efforts on
our part at successful competition In the
sale Of articles which Chicago or the
upper northwest supplies TO US viii! be
utterly vain and futile. Shall We not
demand Of that company, then, that
they accord to Us even-hnnded Justice?
Cairo contributes To the support of the
Illinois Central railroad one thousand
dollars. where the town OF Columbus
contributes one dollar, yet Columbus en-.
joys an advantage over Cairo equal to
hree.iiiths, in the transportation Of her
supplies from Chicago. Shall this con-
dition OF affairs remain undisturbed?
W iAl AtAt VI N&.Ab NAaAhAy
To this wrong that is sapping the very
foundations Of her prosperity, while It
stimulates and encourages the growth
aud prosperity OF her neighbours Think
not-surely not; and that the protest OF
our people may take proper shape, sug-
gest that there be an early meeting Of
the board OF trade. II, through the APP
peals OF that body, we cannot secure
our unquestionable rights, cannot be &C.
corded what IL ours rs a matter OF COM
mon justice, then it will behoove us TO
secure from other common carriers the
best terms they will accord to us, and let
those who must submit TO the exto! tons
OF the Illinois Central, ourselves not be-
ing among the number.

BuRDENsoME.


Cairo business men who patronize the
Chicago market, are not q little exasper-
ated at the discrimination made against
Cairo by the Illinois Central railroad, In
the matters Of freights. We alluded, the
other day, to shipment of goods over
this road from Chicago to Commerce, Mo,
at forty cents per 100 lbs, and to ship
ment by the same house to Cairo at one
dollar per 100 lbs We entertained the
hope, however, that this and few 9TH
er like cases that had come to our knowl-
edge, formed exceptions 70 general rule;
but we are now advised that only not
Commerce, but all other points have this
advantage over Cairo. Columbus, KY,
Memphis, Tenn, Hickman, Jackson, all
towns and villages reached through Cal
70, pay the Illinois Central only forty
cents freight per 100 lbs., while Cairo
pays it one hundred cents.
IL is scarcely necessary TO urge that
this discrimination against Cairo is ruin
Gus, and will, 80 long as 1t continues,
have paralyzing effect upon our BUSH
ness. 1t efiectually vetoes our efforts TO
compete with 1T. Louis and Chicago In
the sale OF many articles, the difference
Of sixty cents on the 100 lbs, being equal
In many eases, TO the margin for profit.
At all events, the business men of Cairo
can claim it as a right TO be placed on an
equal footing with their neighbors. They
are not hopelessly in the hands of the
Illinois Central; on the contrary, they
can avail themselves of the very ave-
MUGS Of communication that enforce low
freghts for Columbus and other points
reached by Chicago through Cairo.
In this connection we give place to-
day to a communication written by a
prominent business man Of this city, d.
rccting the attention Of the Board OF
Trade to the matter, and suggesting an
early meeting OF that body to take such
steps as will secure TO Cairo the rights In
the premises she eau claim IN the name
OF Justice and fair-dealing.

Fire Last Night.

The fire bells rang out another alarm
about nine o'clock last night, and soon
thereafter the glare of a luminous light
drew people from all parts Of the city
to the vicinity of the post office, where
the flames were discovered to be making
sad havoc and fearful Roadway in the
Queen City boarding house. Fortunate
ly among the first persons on the ground
were the Rough and Ready and Arab fire
companies, the Hibernians having a
somewhat greater distance to travel en-
tering their appearance shortly after
wards. Splendid streams were soon
playing upon the burning pile, giving
quick proof that In that contest water
was going to prove the master and that
right speedily. Hundreds of willing
hands being present the building was
soon Quilted of its contents, as were seve-
raj of the neigbboring houses.
The burning building was OF light tin
derish material and burned with great
rapidity.
On either side Of 1t were houses of the
same material, and the wind blowing a
DtlltCI lbt t6NNhNhNt Va hhS
work performed by the firemen will be
understood when we state that the fire
was actually drowned out before IL had
even scorched the adjoining buildings.
| The Rough and Readies threw perfect
deluge Of water from the very start,
which added to the splendid streams Of
the Arabs and Hibernians, formed such
i xf. knf.
cast upon building in Cairs. At an
advanced stage of the fire the Arab
steamer was put In motion, and notwith.
standing its bad hose, did effective work.
Quicker or better work was never per.
formed In Cairo; and to this very fact
IN ay be attributed the safety Of the en-
tire block Had there been any delay
in reaching the ground, or any lack OF
water the fire would have swept all the
frame buildings between Fourth and
Sixth on that side Of the avenue.
The building burned, or partly burned,
belonged to Mrs. Miller, and not Mar.
tin as stated by the morning paper, and
was valued at $1,000. 1t was occupied
| by Mrs. Rottier as boarding house, and
was uninsured. Solvent insurance com.
panies refuse, we understand, to take
risks In that immediate vicinity. Mrs.
Rottier's goods were damaged to the
extent Of $500, and several articles OF
value were lost. The effects OF adjoin.
ing residents were also considerably in
jured by n rough and hasty removal to
the street; but their escape was too for
tunate to permit them now to bewail
their losses.

John Stricken, alias John Jones, alias
Louisville" Is now in the calaboose, ru-
minatingi II IL hoped on the wickedness
of his ways and the pleasanter paths OF
uprightness and virtue. And who de-
plores his absence from the public walks
Of life? No one, as far as heard from.
On the contrary, his incarceration is spo-
ken of, on all sides, rs a mere taste of
that punishment his bad life and long
continued misconduct deserved. For
many years he has been loafer, the
frequenter OF the vilest dens Of the city,
the blackmailer of bawds and the COM
panion of thieves. gamblers and counter
feiters. A foul mouthed, brazcn- faced
blatherskite, he appears here, there and
everywhere, and has done more than any
ten loafers in the city to create the i'm
preston among strangers that Cairo is
the general rendezvous of black-guards
and villains. On the streets, in saloons,
In low dance houses and brothels,
among the wicked and debased, he has
spent ten years of his life In Cairo, and,
all that time, he has been permitted to
offend with impunity! He has been
fined, il Is true, time and again; but he

He seems to have been regarded in the
light OF an outlaw, or rather privilege

none Of the laws of life. There is scarce

approached by him, with the impudent
demnnd H,,iva nae n half n dOllar:u and
