The absorbing topic Of discussion in
the streets yesterday was the Cairo and
Vincennes question. Only few citizens
expressed = determination to not sign the
petition to be presented 10 the County
Court on next Monday. These objections
are men of two or three classes, about ten
being in each class when AN everage is
made. The first class is composed Of gen.
tlemen who desire the road 10 fail because
the council has granted the right of way
down Commercial Avenue on which they
own houses. The second class is composed
Of the incorrigiblc moss-covered citizens
out of whose eyes fall foods Of tears when
ever new building is projected and who
look upon newcomers as persona
enemies. The third class is composed Of
friends of Judge Bross who do not
reason for themselves, but follow him
Is Aock Of sheep follow their
bell-wether. We must not forget-there
is another clsss-the men who are in the
interest of the Illinois Central Railroad.
Not one of them has good wish for this
enterprise, which would be competing
line but all Of them pat Bross on the
back and praise him as firm, brave man.
They know that the action Of the court
gives to the officers of the Illinois Cen
trail much gratiication-that that road
could we'll afford to pay i've thousand dol
lars-yes, ten thousand dollaIs to have
tho Cairo s. Vincennes enterprise killed,
and that the best way TO kill it is the
course now being pursued by the County
Court of Alexander county. But the
great majority of the people are in favor
of the project, and hundreds have already
signed the petition. Let the ball roll on,
and let us see If the County Court OF
Alexander county shall dare to act like q
despotic body and say to the people; "Iou
| demand that we shall do this but we say
to you, we will not obey you. We are
not your servants, but your masters. YOU
obtained your ideas of government in fret
America, but we imported ours with Vi
from despotic Europe, and ours is the best
Be quiet" Let the ball roll on.
