The Horse Railruad.

On the 9th of May $50. this city granted
to the horse railroad company certain pri-
yileges in regard N running cars through
our streets. In the ordinance granting
these privileges the company was required
to do certain things, or forfeit the right TO
run cars through the streets,-and among
the things specified was that the company
should macadamize its track seven feet
wide, which would require nice job of
work to be done each side of the rail, or,
as the rails are only five feet from outside
to outside the company is required to do
4 foot Of matchmaking outside of each
rail, as wellas between herails-also where
maeadamizing is not done on the street the
company is bound to keep the street in
good order a foot outside of each rail.
on each side, as well as between the rails
1t was also required that the work should
be so done that the top of the rail would he
even or level with the street, 50 that teams
could easily and safely cross the railroad
track This has not been done, and the
track is and has been, for years, in such
a condition that great care is necessary in
crossing it with buggy in order to pre-
vent breaking a wheel or capsizing. 1t is
the duty of our city authorities TO see that
this part Of the contract, as well as all 9th
er parts. is fulfilled, OF that the track be re-
moved from the streets, 1t is not requir-
ed that the track be macadamized where
the streets are not, but it is required that il
shall be kept even with the streets and in
as good condition as the streets adjoining
1t. From Madison to Eagle, on Illinois,
the track is low, and the space between
the track, every time we have a rain, is a
mass of slush, across which people have t.
wade or jump The company cannot af.
ford to fall out with the people Its true
policy is to do everything possible t.
please and accommodate the people, if il
wishes to be popular and make money. II
has recently put in two stones in the cen.
, ter Of its track, at Eagle and Washington,
but this is not enough Let the company
promptly comply with all and singular the
requirements Of the ordinance and not wait
for the city authorities to compel compli.

1t is susceptible Of proof that J. II. vii
son, long time ago, agreed to put down a
sidewalk in front of his property on Sec
ond Avenue, as ordered by the City Coun-
ellis, so that the little children could get to
the 18th ward school house without sticking
in the mud and having to be pulled out,
minus their shoes. Can't Mr.. Wilson find
any plank to do it with? Or does he wish
legal proceedings to be commenced against
him to enforce the order of the City Coun-
eli? If such men as J, II. Wilson refuse
to fulfil their own promises, the effect
upon others is bad. The City Council will

BY his Words and Acts VIC Must
Judge Him.

Tho friends Of Governor Jacob have
recently mOurncd over the latal calami.
ty Of a disruption of the Democratic
party, growing out Of division Of
opinion between tho Legislative and
Executive departments Of our State
government. Why should they
mourn? Is Governor Jacob Demo.
crat2 lie was opposed toprOscription
il is true, and so were a great many
Republicans. For this We give lin
aud them all proper credit :; but we
challenge the production Of the record
for his political opinions. We call for
his inaugural addresses, his messages,
and fOf every other syllable Ito has
ever uttered that has gone down to
history. lnall this We subml! whether
there is one word in support Of DEM
ocracy. Read for yourselves and pom.
der well the truth.
The word Democracy that charms
us most he has never suffered to escape
him, in any public document cmnna.
ting from bis pen. We know that
politicians are apt 10 appeal to the
passions Of Democracy to carry their
ends, and in that sense We are aware
that Governor Jacob Inns used this
term on the hastings, But is he n
Democrat? Its a nsble designation,
and lie need not be ashamed to pro-
claim it in every sentiment he utters,
il he feels the sentiments and sympa.
thizes with tho principles Of TINT
great party. Then why is he so rcti.
cent? Is it to tickle the fancy of the
Republicans? We may add, from bis
acts, US well as his words, We must
judge him. From the day he bolted
the nomination at Parkersburg to the
present time, EO do not admire lis pc.
litical conversation nor tho company
he keeps. In the frs. place We &C.
copied Of Mr.. Jacob because he was
opposed to prescription; but had wo
accepted Of Mr. Hubbard, or many
other leading RCpablicans whose sense
ofjustice in that regard was equally as
strong as that Of Mr.. Jacob, they
would have been entitled fully as much
ashe to tho support oftIiC Democracy,
and from the light Of recent events, it
would seem much more 50.
