TiIE INTERuRBAN ORDINANCES.

n petition was being circulated yes
terday by and at the instance Of Chas
@. Patier, president Of the Southern
Illinois Inteflirbaf Company. In which
the mayor il asked To permit the ac-
tiOn Of the city council. passing the
tnterurban ordinances, TO remain un-
disturbed. The paper is being very
generally signed BY citizens. Compar-
atively few who are asked to sign it
refuse to do 80. Those who hesitate
are not urged. very much, little or no
argument being INDUCED In BY the
solicitors. except to suggest that the
vet0ing of the ordinances ny the may
or will mean the death of the interur-
ban project and the defeat Of efforts
to give Cairo cheaper electric lights
and power.
II goes without saying that these
suggestions carry much weight with
the people generally and with bust.
ness men particularly. II the sug.
gestions were unquestionably true the |
situation would indeed be serious ana |
there would be little room for eriti |
cising any one for signing the docu
ment. The interurban railroad is so
important factor in the future deyel. |
0pment OF the community that, rather
than defeat the project now and delay
its accomplishment indefinitely, eiti-
zens may well be excused for exhibit
ing a sort OF .let.the-hide- -with-the-
tallow'' spirit.
The. other sug gestion that the We
toing OF the ordinances will, mean
defeat. Of efforts to give us cheaper
and power rates, is but little
less important and. II possible. even
more effective in inducing citizens to
favor the ordinances. The feeling Is
very general In the community that
The gas rates, the electric light rates
md the rates for power charged by
he Cairo corporations are too high.
Other cities have lower rates, where
conditions for supplying these con
Feniences are believed to be no more
favorable than here. and Cairo citi.
lens feel that they have a right to
protest and are therefore favorable
o any proposition which carries with
q promise CT reasonably sure relief. !.

TO SEE some good man succeed Mr..

ment has crystallzed into a per.
sonal and public aversion TO
another term tor MIR. Andrews
and he himself should he wise
enough TO know that It is only fair
that he retire and give New Mexico
her right TO select her delegate.
No one wishes to assault the char.

A TEST OF HONESTY.
Tried by a chicaos Newspaper and
Revealed Human Nature.

Men are men. as oysters are oys.
tors.
Most human creatures do as they
have seen others do. We see that
humillating fact illustrated almost In
everyday life.
In this connection we may advance
the theory that policemen. culled from
the human hive. are about as honest
as men in other walks, and no more
so.
Many of my readers will recall the
severe test that the Chicago Herald
once made OF average honesty among
onstrated the fact, which every cos
mopolitan already Knew. that men in.
ciined toward honesty sometimes
yield to temptation.
The plan of that city editor was to
have pocketbooks containins various
sums of money dropped upon side
walks In the most fashionable section
OF the town. A special detective was
assigned to show the finder In each
case. in order 10 report as to that in
.dividual's conduct. In each porte
monnaie was card, giving the name
anu address of the supposititious ow-
Der. and asking for the return Of the
wallet in case of loss.
The record was very discouraging
to n believer In average honesty. Ont
OF score Of money packages thus
used as decoys, three were promptly
returned. without any demand for re-
ward. Five were advertised; but. in
one notable case. the amount or mon
ey was decidedly less than the wallet
had contained! Several other parcels
had been picked up by men and WON
en- on their way to church-not one
of which was advertised or returned
10 the address given!
The name of each finder was ascer-
tanned. Whether all were published
or not has alipped my memory But
they ought to have been. a law
stands upon the statute book of every
state making the retention of lost
money or jewels an act of larceny on
the part of the finder
The criminal code of this state Is
precise upon this point; but 1t is
quite probable that test applied TO
our citizens would not show any
higher degree of general integrity
than the Chicao trial exhibited
