prised Of the very liberal reduction in pas"
seager rates on the Illinois Central railroad
lines in the state of Illinois, and we are
quite sure that all of them will join in
vote Of thanks to the management of that
railroad not only for reduction by which
a million of our people may profit; but for
the force OF the example, which is morally
certain to compel other companies to do
likewise. Indeed, the example has already
borne good fruits, and it may now be hoped
that all the great railroad corporations of
the state will soon be, as the Central is, Cd.
Grating in accordance with SCHEDULE or
graduation scale established or suggested
by the board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners. We are pleased, we repeat,
that the Illinois Central has led off in the
revolution of passenger rates. Stretching
Its lines from one end of the state to the
other, with connecting lines under its con
troll that penetrate the far west northwest
and south, its position is at once command
ing and It's influence powerful. It NAV be
argued, therefore, that while the reduction
operates to the special advantage of the
people Of Illinois, at once, its III.

" indicated; hut upon one point all good
citizens should feel decided, and that point
is this The necessity for defeating
Squire Comings is too apparent
to be questioned His defeat Is
demanded in the interest of good morals
and good order, and should be sought by
all who would see an honest and fearless
enforcement Of the law against all offend
ers, let their calling in business or their po-
sitions in society be shat they may. We
want no police magistrate who permits his
personal resentments or prcjudices to warp
his judgment or to Illustrate his honest i'm

promise that citizen immunity from the
consequence. We want no officer who
manitestly has an eye to future personal
preterment, in his administration of Justice;
AMI We certainly want no man in the office
to which Squire Comings aspires, who has,
by his official conduct, failed to inspire the
respect and confidence of his felIow-citi-

dealing with Squire Comings, not as
a citizen, but as the present
incumbent Of an Office, and
the candidate for another office, for which
we deem him unsuited. We have an up.

and the voter who, in determining the
character OF ms ballot, does less than this,

Der. 1t is wholly foreign to our purpose to
"persccute,' the Squire. We candidly
think that he has failed to administer the
laws impartially; that he has withheld the
scourgc of the law where it should have
been applied, and that many have learned
to believe that change Of venue to Squire
Comings is tantamount to an acquital.
Without saying whether such belief is
we'll founded or is unfounded, we DO say
that we will wrong ourselves and wrong
orr city by electing man whose official
conduct has been Of a character to furnish
so broad a semblance Of foundation upon
which to rear so damaging an accusation.
