Under the circumstances, the behavior OF
the Democratic House of Representatives yes
terday with reference to the appropriation
for the Worlds Columbian Exposition will
cause little surprise, however much disgust
and Indignation it may call forth among
all rublc-Spirtcd and patriotic citizens.
policy of obstruction has been entered upon
with a view of embarrassing the majority OF
the Representatives, if not of defeating the
will of the people as expressed in their action.
Yet the money will be appropriated, and Hol-
man. Cultivate and their associates will have
10 face the Indignation of a Nation whose honor
they were eager to sully before the world for
the sake of paltry political revenge.

Nothing is intrinSicaly more absurd than
the practice in some of our judicial courts which
permits one Judge to nullfy the actions OF
colleague of the same bench. Local annals
disclose many instances in which this practice
was resorted TO for the sake OF promoting
wicked ends, but there have been few cases
in which its viciousness has been so plainly
brought to public notice as it is now in the
rearrest of the notorious DR.. McGonegal. In
two instances the tenderness of suburban judges
has freed him from the clutches of metropolitan
Justice. If it shall appear from the preliminary
examination that he is guilty of the crime
charged against him now, it is much TO be
hoped that he will be put where dogs cannot
bite him nor county judges reach him with
orders of release. The prison doors should not
open to him again till the law has had its due.

a VISIT IN EGYPT.

A visit last week to several cities in
| the southern part OF the state was
greatly enjoyed. We were pleased to
find the people in southern Illinois
| thrifty and prosperous. They are
aiding the race greatly on its forward
and uphill march. Many of the peo-
pie own their homes. In what better
way can they aid the race than in the
purchasing of homes? Thus they are
securing influence and gaining conf
dence for the oppressed sons Of Ham.
Particularly delighted are we with our
visit to Cairo. The people of that city
are moving forward rapidly. A large
number of them are property owners
and they are all taking advantage of
the educational facilities. The school
opened there On the 18th inst, with an
enrolment of 357. Twelve teachers are
employed. Prot. Lewis, Principal of
the High school, is the only gentle
man on the corps.
"A thing of beauty is JOY forever.u
Tne Garrison School will certainly be
a source of continual Joy to the people
of tairO. 1T is lovely two story brick
building. The Garrison school will be
ready for use by October.
Miss J. M. Barbour Of Alton. I'LL, has
been elected principal of that school.
Miss Barbour is a deserving young la
dy and has taught two years in the
public schools of Cairo. We
congratulate her upon her promotion.
Merit and perseverance will win.
The future prospect for the people of
Cairo is bright. They are abreast of
the times, we'll posted on current news
they are readers of the CAPITAL x.
