Makes the Fur Fly.

The IaiJa Is exposing the treachery and
Misunderstanding Of John g. Hawley. in
right down good earnest This morning it
publishes long letter from Hawley to
Hayerstick in regard to the Island horse
railway bin gotten up some three years ago
The EnioE SAYS
The letter was not written for publca-
ton but rs Mr. Hawiey and his friends
have set the example OF violating the Sc
crecy of private correspondence we pre-
sumo they will not object if the same rule
is applied to them We have a few
more OF the same sort on hand for future
use

Mr. llawley pledges himself, in the most
emphatic language, 10 support the bill

his warm personal and political friends

filing them he declares his emphatic op-
position to the Robinson bill he delays

warning to those he 50 faithfully promised

Nearly all the lawyers in the Is counties
composing the 9th Judicial district have, by
circular letter, brought out Judge Law
renee for reelection, and he has replied
accepting the nomination of the lawyers
The farmers of the 5th district will hold
convention at Princeton, on Wednesday the
Both. 10 nominate candidate for Supreme
,Judge for that district. The Chicago
Times in publishing Judge Lawrences
letter says:
Judoe Lawrence has done some re-
markable things since he has sat upon the
bench of the Illinois supreme court, but
nothing more remarkable than the letter
which he has indited to the lawyers of his
district and which is published in the
Times to-day. Judge Lawrence claims a
reelection substantially ON the ground that
the threatened popular movement TO elect
somebody else has for its object TO bring
about the decision of particular questions
III particular way. In this Judge Law
renee is mistaken That is not the object
of the popular movement at all. The Cd
ject Of the popular movement is, to Prerehs
the decision of particular questions IN a
particular way. The popular movement
seeks not to elect the representative OF a
class TO the supreme bench 1t seeks to
elect one who will net be the representative
of a class. There is suspicion IN the
pubEr mind that there are representatives
NJ n class IN the supreme bench, and there
il . nnrnosp in this same public mind to
evrlnde these suspected judges from the

And the people Of Illinois will commit
fatal error if they do not, at every op-
portmity, place upon the bench Judge

ency u class The supreme court OF
| Illinois has often been called, with how
much Justice we will not undertake to say,

ground for the suspicion, it is occasion for
alarm as it would be occasion for alarm II
there was GROUND for suspicion that Il Is
an anti-railrOad court The one would be
as bad as the other
We have no disposition to interfere with
the election in the Fifth judicial district
/ further than 70 defend the popular move
ment against the dispersion which the pecu
/ liar friends Of Judge Lawrence are dlspos
ed to cast upon it. We suspect that the
people of that district have pretty good
understanding OF the thing that ought u
/ be done, and that they will do 1t, without
much regard TO any arrangement which
the LAWYERS and Judge Lawrence may
make between themselves. Whatever elsC
may be true, itmay probably be set down a.
good doctrine, at the present time and il
the present case, that the entertainment t,
which the lawyers would invite the people
is not the entertainment to which the PEG
pie ought to sit down. At any rate, i
would be interesting 10 know how many o
these lawyers who are so anxious tina
Judge Lawrence should be continued upol

news of the Illinois railroads.

NOTES. HERE AND THERE.

The bursting Of water pipe on Wash
ington street between Illinois and the river
was the cause of the fire alarm at G O'Clock
last evening.

cut. for Governor, as a Christian States
man. Majority for the other man, away
up to 1000 or somewhere.-Ch Chicago Irt-

If the thing is steal those who take
a share of the "swag' are as bad as the
ninety odd who cracked the safe. The man
who profits.by keeping a fence is certainly
as bad as he who brings in the spoil. -Chat-
taH0oga Times.
An eastern reporter accuses another of
having stolen his account of a meeting,
which was recognized by certain ear marks.
The retort courteous is that the first report
er should tie his ears over the top of his
head while writing, to keep them out of
the ink bottle
Whose business is it to look after the
bursted service pipes? Quite a number
are pouring streams of water down our
streets-one near Cable and Madison cor
ner another in front of the stores in the
Harper House, etc. Ofcourse the cxpen: c
must come out of the water takers who put
them in for it was their business to put
them below frost But if they neglect il
who is to stop the water? If is the bust
ness of the Superintendent, why don't he
act? If it isn't his business, then the Stree
Supervisor will have to act viii the Watel
Board infuse little life and vigor into il
department. Or must the Mayor taxi
the thing in hand?

BAD Marararnent.

One Of Thomas Murdoch last jobs was
the building OF two engine houses. One
Of these houses was built in the middle Of
Pleasant street near Otter-in the soft
mud Of the slough. Osborn a Curtis re
monstrated against placing the house in
front of one Of their lots, but no heed was
paid 10 their remonsuance, and now, we
hear tina; they have commenced suit
against the city for the removal of the
building from the front Of their property.
The house wa. built when the ground was
frozen, but has it uow thawcd out and the
foundation is going down out Of sight
The building has never been accepted or
occupicd-but it will have to be accepted,
of course, and paid for because it i, be
Heyed to be built according to contract
The present administration, in order to
save the building must buy or hire a lot,
on hard ground somewhere. and move the
building on to it OF course the building
will be injured and the expense will fall
ou the city-but what else can be done
