Post Office Inspector Here.

Mr.. Fields, of Washington, d. c.,
inspector of public building sites
for the post Office department., was in
the city couple of days last week,
looking over the different sites pro-
posed for the location of the new
government post Office building, when
the appropriation for building shall
be made. The appropriation of S5, 900
already made is for the purchase of a
site, and the four sites offered are
the l.. Bulls estate lot, corner of
Main and Winnebago, the Mrs. c..
w. Allison lots, corner of Main and
Court, the, p. j. Enright let's, corner
of Winnebago and Vernon, and the
H. Engbretson and G. w. Burdick
lots, corner of Water and Mechanic
Mr.. Fields made a thorough examin-
alton of the several sites proposed,
and no doubt the decision of the
department will be made known
before long.

The Scientific American gives the
following recipe. which it states,
never fails to check the advance of a
case of diptheria At the first indica-
tion Of diptheria in the throat of a
child, make the room close, take a
tin cup and put into it a quantity
of tar and turpentine, equal parts.
Then hold the cup over the fire, so
as to fill the room with fumes. The
little patient, on inhaling the fumes
will cough up all the membraneous
matter. and the diptheria will pass
away. The fumes of tar and turpen-
tine loosen the matter in the throat
and thus afford the relief that has
baffied the skill Of physicians.

THE INTERURBAN.

As stated in yesterdays Bulletin
one OF the points which have tended
10 create tlistrHst in the minds Of
some people and of some aldermen,
In connection with the interurban
railroad proposition as 1t has been
presented BY its promoters, is that
two separate ordinances are offered,
for two separate corporations. each
corporation to have the same fran
chise over the same streets. 1t was
intimated in Judge Lansden's com
lnunication to the city council some
time ago, that this might be weak
point from the companies point Of
view: but 1t also has tended to make
confusion In many minds. The state-
ment made in an attempted explana-
ton, that the two companies and tho
two ordinances are necessary because
the street railway act of the state
does not grant the power to con
denim property is erroneous. The act
passed and In force March Z. 1899. be.
ing an emergency act and repeating
the Infamous Allen law. specifically
grants to street railways the power to
acquire property under what IS
known as the right of eminent do
main" Section two of that act reads
as follows:
When 1t is necessary for the con.
struction. maintenance or operation
OF such road or necessary sidings,
side tracks or appurtenanees. to take
or damage private property the same
may he done and the compensation
therefor may be ascertained an /
made in the manner which may be
then provided by law for the exercise
OF the right of eminent domain"
under two different acts of the state
legislature, with franchise ordl-
nance for each, are not necessary la
order to acquire the right to condemn
property for the needs of the rail.
road. Whether they are necessary
for any other purpose of value to the
public has not been made apparent:
and in matter of this sort whatever
Is not shown to be necessary may
prove to be harmful. In any event It
were best to take the people AMI
their representatives into full conf
dence in this important project; and
to clear away. as far as possible all
doubt concerning it in the minds Of
the public and of their representa-
tives In the city council
Other objections are raised which
ought to be fairly met and probably
can be disposed Of Some of them
may be trivial, but they rise to inn
portance and are deserving of re
spectful consideration when. In the
minds of conscientious men. they
serve to block a project Of such vital
concern to the public.
The interests of the people of Cairo
demand an interurban railroad; but
there Is strong reason to believe that
the latest efforts to secure the right
TO build such a road will not succeed.

strong differences of opinion as to

concessions can probably be made
