II is stated that the present grand
jury has been overrun with complaints
about all sorts of things, coming not
only from citizens of Cairo, but from
citizens of the county, generally. All
complaints are listened to patiently
and sifted thoroughly and it is found
that in great majority of cases the
evidence is not at all such as would
justify a true bill, or as would prom
Use conviction on trial in case true
bill were found. The jury very prop
erly concludes. that it would be wrong
to put the, people Of the county to the
expense of trying cases. in which con
viction is not at all likely even from
the evidence OF the prosecution alone
to say nothing of what the defense
may have to present There are cases
presented. also. in which the spirit Of
personal or political revenge is clear
ly apparent, and these too. the jury
is said to have rejected with little
ceremony. It is probably safe to say
that IL the jury found bills in all cases
that are brought to its notice it could
be kept busy day and night for a
month or longer, put half the people
of the county in jeopardy Of liberty,
and consign the county government to
a state Of almost permanent bank.

CAIRO AND CORPORATIONS.

AT a recent Merchants Luncheon
Hon o. J. Page of Marion. brought
to the notice of his audience the
fact that people in parts of Southern
illinois had the impression that the
people of Cairo were strongly set
against public service corporations,
particularly the Illinois Central com
pany, ana the officials of this com
pany were firmly of the belief that
the people of Cairo were rncom-
promisingly antagonistic to that cor
poration. Chairman Wilson in COM
menting upon this statement by Mr..
Page said this matter was serious
enough to merit the attention of citi- |
zens; he believed the impression did |
the people of Cairo injustice, who, he
thought, were not uukindly disposed |
toward the Illinois Central company |
nor toward public service corpora
tons generally.
Mr. Wilson's judgment was correct. |
The people of Cairo are not unkindly |
disposed toward public service cor
poratlons They have shown this re-
peatel,y by very liberal grants Of
to all the corporation
now here, and they are willing to
make like liberal grants to any new
ones which may wish to come here
But the people of Cairo have had
Just cause for complaint, because OF
poor service by some of these com
lanies They have been paving high
lrices for light and power, water and
street car service and they have not
had the service from all of these
which they had right {
o expect because these companies
leYe 10. kept pace with the develop
lent and steadily growing needs of
he community by providing them
selves with the up-to-date equipment
hat would enable them to give good ,
service al reasonable prices.
The people of Cairo are as long
as people generally are, aud
hey are as generous in their iudg
nent as any other community when
hey see that every effort is made to
reat them fairly. This has been
repeatedly and prob {
bly, is soon to be again demon II
trated with respect to the interur +
an proposition.
So far as the Illinois Central com il
any is concerned, it may be ad- !
lifted that it has been subjected to Is
oedless If not unjust criticism. aud b
ave been resisted with the result, C

in the failure to get inn

great damage had been done She
was indicted for arson before the
