of the Southern Illinois Co, was gone

night the Terminal & Traction Com

Both were gone over carefully see

very little The former was left prac-

changed so little that ITO objection
was raised by Mr. Sawyer CHIEF
among the changes made by the com.
mittee was to reduce the time Of

THE INTERURBAN.

There seems to be little OF no doubt
NJ the passage OF the two ordinances
pending in the city council for the
two new electric companies which
Iseek franchises in the city-the
enc a purely local concern, seeking
rights Id the city alone. for street rail
way, power and lighting plants; the
other foreign company seeking
lrishts ia the city for an interurban
railway only Both companies seem
to have placed themselves iii positions
under the law where their requests
nay receive consideration from the
city counciland It seems likely that
both ordinances viii be passed with
limmaterial changes from the original
iratt.
The propositions embodied In these
iwo ordinances are important to the
people Of Cairo. A competitive light
ing anil power company such ais the
first mentioned ordinance seems to
contemplate may not be a bad thing
fer Cairo; brt beyond question, the
matter or greatest Importance is the
interurban railway proposition. The

repeatedly that they are willing to
make any reasonable concessions to

The Question OF ExpedienCy.

When the time comes to elect dele

vention the question of expediencv
must be considered in selecting the
candidate for president. What states
can he carry; that is the vital cues
ton. 1t would be folly to nominate
our best friend or neighbor and see
him defeated. The best man in the
United States may not get votes enough
to win, he may be too outspoken, or
be known to advocate some reform that
a section Of his party is opposed to,
perhaps because it is not thoroughly
understood. A minority party is com
