just as good as the one she had decided
upon, where no such obstacle as in this
case prevails. Mrs. Saffords determination
not to be imposed upon or be baked in her
grand enterprise by grasping, nonresident
owner OF little patch of land in the heart
OF the city will be a source of admiration
to the Cairo public.

The people of Bloomington are con.
,r!buting very Literally toward the fund to
be used in the erection of suitable monu-
ment TO Litta. Over thousand dollars is
already on hand, The BULLETIN now
urges the managers of the enterprise to
follow the example of Mrs. A. b. Stafford,
OF this city. Here is what it says: "But
a better monument than marble shaft
should be erected TO Litta's memory; and
our people have now an opportunity to erect
such a monument. The projectors of the
public library building, TO be erected at
the northeast corner OF Washington and
East streets, should unite with the Litta
monument committee, and together they
should labor to obtain sufficient funds to
make the library building a Litta memorial
building. AT Cairo Mrs Stafford is now
erecting, to the memory of her lsmcnted
husband, memorial building which will
be dedicated to the public library of that
city and contain a splendid lecture room.
As long as that building shall stand, those
who look at it, will be told by ts marble
front, that it commentaries the many vir-
tues, the noble character and love of the
wife of A. B. Stafford Why may not the
citizens of Bloomington erect memorial
building to the memory of Litta--a build
ing in which the library Of the city may
tind a home and in which there may be To-
Gated music hall, in which the opera and
the drama may have a suitable abiding
place. The library is womans library -
was created by the women of Bloomington
aud by them is maintained; the ground on
which the library building is to be erected
is owned by a woman, who proposes TO
make a gift of it; and why should not the
building to be erected be made memorial
building to woman whose genius has hon
ored Bloomington as much AS her womanly
goodness has digifed human nature"
The high license law in this city seems
to have met with tacit approval from saloon
keepers generally, and those who may be
opposed to it have acted in marked contrast
to some Of their contemporaries in other
cities, who made in many cases, violent
protests against raise. The general salts,
faction here is due doubtless to the fact
that the council had the good sense to ig-
more the political sop contained in the Har-
per Gregg BILL in the form of $3.50 beer
license, and placed the price of license
uniformly at $500. BY doing this, unscru-
pulous men were prevented from doing q
$500 business under $3.50 license, and con.
jealousy, and spying and continued
dissentions were prevented. The number
of saloons will be reduced next year no
doubt but if we may judge from the effects
of similar measures in other cities, it is not
