THE SYNDICATE LINES.
me Proposed Change ON Seventh
AVenne-The Few Against the
MANY

=
Avenue-The Few Against the
Many.
The Union asserts that TIE ARGJTs ia
"sorely distressed at the idea of the
Milan street railway extending its track
on Eleventh street directly north 10
Fourth avenue and from there using the
syndicate tracks to the centre of the
city. That is about as near as the
Union generally comes to the correct
statement of facts. The ARGUS is not
distressed over the proposed change at
all, and it is no more opposed to the pro-
posed extension to Eleventh street than
IL nas been on any improvements that the
syndicate has made. Indeed The ARGUS
is enjoying beyond its power of expression
the novelty Of seeing the Union on the
side of the r-ilwaY company's efforts to
extend lis rights, and is raking its brain
to understand what has brought about
such wonderful change of faith on
the part of the morning contemporary.
HE ARGUS does not wonder that the
people for three blocks on Eleventh
street should be solid for the change. >,
1t does not blame them for being so !;
neither does wonder at nor does il
blame the people for Is blocks on Seven
teenth and Seventh avenue that they
should be solid that their street railway
facilities b preserved to them BY the
council. Indeed there is very small
wonder that the residents on Seventeenth
street and Seventh avenue who wouldlose
the only street cars within half mile of
them should be as much interested IN
protecting and holding what they have as
those who now have advantages within
block and half on either side should be
IN gaining further privileges. The CUES
ton is simply one of the interests OF a
large number of people against those of
few, and, while The ARGUS reaffirms
that it would not be for denying the few
and is not opposed to the Eleventh street
extension it does not think that the
many should be made to suffer to accom-
modate the three blocks. the street car
people or anybody else. The council
can very easily solye the problem by
granting the Eleventh street rights with
the express condition that the Seventh
avenue and Seventeenth street lines re>

sage on the 'Canal-LocaI Repressn-
tatives To Take a Hand
AS was shown in THE ARGUS of yes
terdsy, under the provisions of the
United States statutes and the terms Of
the act Of the last congress, which made
an appropriation of $500 600 for begin
ming the work of constructing the Illinois
and Mississippi canal, it is necessary be-
fore work can begin that the general as
senbly shall formally give the legislative
assent to the purchase by the United
States of certain lands required in the
work of construction and shall cede to
the United States jurisdiction over the
lands thus acquired and over the canal
when constructed. According TO yester>
days Chicago News Governor Fifer will
transmit to the Legislature special mes
sage asking its passage by the general
assembly in order that the work of con-
structiDg this great waterway may be
inaugurated
1t is to be hoped such is to be the case.
Pres dent Jackson. of the Improvement
association. was visited by an ARGUS rep
resentstive this morning, and he stated
that there was no doubt whatever that
the state of Illinois must cede jurisdic-
ton to the general government of the
canal route before the work could be
commenced, and he was surprised that
this had not been attended to before
this. He said, however that he would
go to Chicago Tuesday to consult Capt.
Marshall in the matter.
Hon. ]. 81. Murphy, of Davenport,
was in town yesterday and he, too, was
surprised that the necessary formalities
between the state and the general gov
eminent had not been attended to. He
will also go to Chicago Tuesday to see
what can be done to hasten the matter.
THE ARGUS suggests that it would not be
bad idea for both Messrs. Jackson and
Muir ply go to Springfield also, and
urge the proper legislation as
promptly as possible.
