Hogs are said to be- roofing up the sod
on the outer slope of the Mississippi levee,
between the slaughter houses and the rocF
pile, thus destroying the roots of the grass
and preventing its growth next year. That
In the past the grass served as a revet-

known to need even affirmation, hence it 10
desirable that it should be preserved. The
injury done to the levees during . year by
hogs alone Is matter that ought to weigh
heavily in favor of prohibiting the freedom
OF these animals within the city.

| The people Of Carbondsle, in their
eageruess perhaps to prevent all contest
over the location Of the new Normal School,
have made q movement that will not strike
the general public very favorably. They
have circulated and numerously signed 8
petition to Governor Hamilton, asking that
al extra session of the Legislature be called
to appropriate money for the immediate re-
erection of the university building. The
energy shown by the people in relieving the
temporary wants OF the institution, even
though shown with the implied condition
that the state at large is to pay tor it IN
time, was praiseworthy and will receive all

tail heavy and unnecessary expense upon
the people at large for comparatively in.
significant purpose, will meet with very
little popular favor aud much well-deserved
denuuciation. The people of Carbonate
have lost their reason 10 their enthusiasm
and are being led into doing things that
will surely defe { the purposes they enter.

either fiery or nothing, they may stop to
consider only when it is too late.

St. Louis & Cairo railroad company, to the
city council of Cairo, asking tina, body to

The privilege asked for is identical with
that sought to be taken by the company
some time ago against the councils protest,
when the latter was sus aimed by the courts.
The reasons why the company should not
be gwen unconditional right Of way into
the city as asked iwere all gone over in the
contest before, and We're deemed suficicn,
by the people and their representatives in
council assembled; and as the company of.
