FOOLISH AND FALSE.

Under the heading Standing BY the
Immortal Eight, the Citizen Of last
evening INDUCES in some remarks
about the iaterurban proposition which
call fer some attention. because there
seems to 10 purpose-certainly there
is the cffect-of misleading the pub
lie. The Citizen says:
Eight aldermen voted to give
them the franchise Others de-
feated the project Now ii the
people still desire the road built.
and we believe that they do very
much, especially just at this time,
they are certainly going the wrong
way about it to allow those alder
men who stood by the project to
leave the council Certainly if the
project eyer Genes up again it
will have to have more friends in
the council else it will again be
beaten, and the only way the peo-
pie have of getting friends for the
interurban into the council is to
elect them on election day"
1t is not at all true that the prop
osition to build an interurban railway
for Cairo will need more friends in
the city council than it has had. IL
order to win. Such proposition can
not have any more friends in the city
council than ii has now or has had
unless the number of members shah
be increased. AS the council was
constituted when the matter came up
before, and as it is constituted now,
every member was and is for an inter
urban railway-fcrteen of them
Hence, as stated, if there are to be any
more friends the membership of tn
council must be increased.
But five of the present member
did not see their way clear to votine
for the very liberal and more or lesS
confusing ordinances presented by the
interurban attorneys and their action
prompts the esteemed Citizen to re.
mark as follows:
in their eageuess TO drive
sharp, bargain, some of the mem
bers of the council made serious
mistake. They simply went too
far. They did not stop to realize
the conditions. To make the city
suffer for their bad Judgment. no
matter how good their intentions.
will net set very well with the
voters. They want men of good
Judgment in the council They
want men who. while fully aud
amply protecting the city's In
terests. will welcome capital to
Cairo and not drive it away
II comes with bad grace from the
Evening Citizen. to accuse opponents
of the ordinances presented by the "in-
terurban'' attorneys with "eagerness
TO drive sharp bargain" Perhaps
chief among the things which true
friends of an interurban railway have
had cause to deplore. as being par.
ficularly harmful to the project. has
been the Citizens very evident pur.
pose 10 befog the subject and BAN
boozle the public. So far as the Citi.
zen's course Is concerned there is
strong reason to doubt the sincerity

When the Indians had been goaded
into state of chronic hostility
freighting over the trail became any
thing but a holiday pastime. In later
years, as the traffic grew in volume
and importance, the dangers and diff
culties were lessened by the establish
ment of military posts at intervals,
but these could not afford perfect Sc
curity. 1t was not until after the In
dams were corraled on reservations,
about 1870, that travel became rea-
sonably safe, and even after that oc-

travelled singly to Council Grove, on
the Cottonwood, where they waited
for others to form caravan of suffi.

probable attack. Often 200 men or
more were thus banded together. Each
wagon was drawn by eight mules or
horses or by six or eight oxen, the

number of horsemen always accom-.

to Kill buffalo, antelope and other
game to supply fresh meat to the com.

signs OF Indians. Before the start was
made captain was chosen, and the
long journey was made under his or

organization. Camping places were
selected by the scouts in advance,
with view to securing plenty of wa

Al night the wagons were arranged In
circular form, to serve as a fort in
case OF attack. Watch - and guards
were posted and relieved at freouent
