Is 1T SOP

The Sun oil yesterday evening says it
is not true, as stated by THE BULLETIN,
that it was the duty Of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company to take care Of and
bury Sullivan, who was killed by the cars
Of that company. The Sun thus dis
courses;
The coroner's jury, we understand, -
we'll o. the man himself before, he died &C.
quilted the company Of all blame in the
matter, and We can't see why the company
should be held responsible any more than
an individual. Suppose some stranger in
this city should recklessly attempt to run
across the path of an approaching team,
and should fall, and before the
horses could possibly be checked they
should trample him to death, and jury
we're to scquit the driver OF any blame In
in the matter, would the owner Of the
team be under obligations TO take care Of
him and see that he was decently buried :?
No, Mr.. Bulletin, you know
better. In this case, however,
Was the only man who did anything for
the body. Mr.. johnson is not the COM
psny. He did it we learn - an individual,
still remains, was the city or county
authorities under any obligations TO take
care Of his bodyP
We maintain our position. 1t makes

Railroad company was ~ vi.u,o ~, VI,

OF any Of i.s employees, in the prosecution
of their duties, killed him, the company
must under the law, take care Of him
and bury him. II the company, ss rail
road companies are now In the habit OF
doing, deny that they are bound by the
| law, that Is another matter, but the law Is
explicit. No act TO amend section of
chapter eighty of the Revised Stat
utes of lsi5 provides ,hst if any
Nonresident or any other person COM
ing within the definition Of q psuper, not
having money or property, becomes sick
or dies in any county of this state, the
overseers of the poor or county commits
sioners, shall give assistance and in case of
death shall bury such poor person. "And
inst goes on the law, "sll persons COM
ing within the provision of this act-[that
is poor personsl-who are killed or injured
by any railroad company either
by its agents, employees or servants q
or BY any engine, car, or collision y
shall be properly cared and suitably pro-
vided for, and, in case of death, decently
buried by said company It makes no
difference whether the killing was
accidental or not, the company mus.
care for the person wounded by the acct
dent, and bury him In case Of death.

lay. At that time we called attention to
the fact and reminded the public that
every murderer who had been srrsigned
in Cairo had escaped punishment by de-
laying trial and changing venue, and we
predicted that Harrison would also escape
in the same way If he were not looked sf-
ter by the people. Delay was obtained
and tho venue was changed to Pulaski
county, IIiT trial will take place, it 10
said, next week at Mound City.
We anticipate the result. We
shall be surprised If no is not acquitted.
II he. u.s. a very bad man will be let loose
upon society. That he killed young Swo-
boda in GOLD blood there can be no doubt.
The deed was witnessed by several lewd
girls, and by one man, who is known, and
another, citizen Of Cairo, whose fair fame
would DO ruined If il we're known that he
had been a witness Of that bloody tragedy.
Poor Green Of Goose Island, who struck q
fatal blow only few months ago, has
been tried and con victed. and is now in the
state penitentisry. He had no Influential
friends 10 obtain delay for him. But Har-
rison. who is reckless Of consequences, 3
desperado--A bad man who has offered to
assassinate citizens for . consideration,
and who did, finally, in pure .wsptonness,
shed the blood Of fellow-bsing--,his man
obtained delay SO that witnesses nigh. be
spirited away, and II he does not escape
punishment We shall be greatly aston
ished. II acquitted we have little doubt
he will return among us, and, Influenced
to deeds Of msrder by the. bad men who
have in fuence over him-bad men who, in
Office, have outraged the people, end out Of
office have robbed men over the green
cloth of the faro tsble-used by these
men TO revenge their sfronts'
he will again stain his hand
In blood and give property TO the flames.
He is, as bis WILDE employers are, ft for
murder, stratagem and spoils. In such .
Of affairs what is 10 be done
Must We patiently suffer such ou.rages
upon justice, see officers quietly allow the
law to be trampled upon and red-hsnded
men and cowardly rascsls to dominate in
this community? 1t should not be SO.
II the protection Of the Law falls from the
citizen and he n left tefenseless in the
presence Of desperadoes and murderers
like Harrison, the time is near at hard
when protest will not keep out Of use tae
rope Of the sometimes benehcent but ST.
ways dangerous Judge Lynch.

The people of this Assembly district will
be called upon at the coming election to
choose 1tom between two candidates mem

nominee. The convention which nominated
Mr.. Devy could h.-dly be termed straight"

ion had the appearance of a ''put up job

"packed" in the interest ola few misguided
and dangerous men among US who.have un-
dertaken the task of working out the eter-
nal salvation OF the city, through the in
strumentaity of tue Union League and It's
foolish followers. The convention was
SO palpable fraud that it, action can have
no binding effect on any member of the
party in whose interest it was called. The
nominee is openly repudiated by the Demo-
crat and Wsst6uerge., and these papers do
not consider their course undemocratc by
any means In opposing Mr.. Devy.

up to the importance of being p.operly
represented at Madison this winter, so tnat
our interests may not suffer. Matters of
great moment TO Waterto.vn are now at

representative. 1t is very necessary that

sentiments of the community on the cues

what this sentiment is was clearly proven
by the result O. The ch ar,er election last

The clink of silver is again to be heard
in the land. All the minis of the country
are now being run to their full capacity in
in the coinage of silver, and it is thought
that by the first of November silver change
will largely take the place of the fractional
currency that has been so long in use.
Whether the change will be popular or not
is question silver is so heavy that few
dollars would really be cumbersome to carry
while large amount of fractional currency
can be put in the pocket without inconven-
fence. 1t will also be far less convenient
for the banks; and on the whole, we think
it safe to say that after the first novelty of
the thing is over there will be 10 demand

What Is jhOv1ght Abroad.

The Madison Journal of the 25th inst,
has this to say relative 20 the contest for
Assemblyman in this district:
The Democrats of the lst district and the
Union League have re nominated Patrick
Devy; and against him Charles Beckman, a
Democrat and Reformer, who is said to be
prominent and upright citizen who has
had considerable experience in public mat
tiers, and would make an able, faithful and
careful member, has been called out as an
independent candidate and is supported by
the Watertown Republican, Democrat and
We.,6uerger. It's 70 be hoped that the
next legislature W i'll not be afflicted with
Devy.
