How to Suppress Bad Houses.
The Peoria Democrat says:


Many people are complaining that
some of the many houses Of ill-fame that
are now in existence in the most respect
able portion of the city, are nuisance and
call for their suppression. Some one says
why cannot they be drove out? That is u
very difficult thing to do. It has been
tried in many cities for years with the
same result in all cases, viz: failure.
But if some one would 60 before the next
grand jury of this county and haye an in
dictment found against every man who
rents or leases house to any character of
that kind it would certainly have a bene-
fetal effect and some of the complaining
parties had better try this methud, II
this thing should be done we think some
of the very men who howl the ioudest
would find themselves under bonds as
soon as any me.
