UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.

Evidently the Illinois Central rail
road company is trying to neutralize
the effect of the decision by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. com
pelling it to treat Cairo fairly in the
matter OF lumber rates and the Big
-Four is lending itself to the same pur-
pose. The commerce commission
ordered the Illinois Central to cease
giving Memphis iumbermen an unfair
advantage over Cairo lumbermen. in
the matter of reshipping rates: and
hardly has this order gone into effect
when the railroad, combining with
the Rig Four, imposes an extra 81
per car upon switching charges at
Cairo, to be effective April /. This
charge would place Cairo lumber men
at a very serious disadvantage in re-
hilton to those of any other city on
the rivers. II is simply a deliberate
attempt to suppress the lumber bust
ness at this point to the advantage of
Memphis and Joppa. The outrage il
too glarinb not to be seen by every
one. The Cairo Board of Trade has
taken the matter in hand with a view
to having the order rescinded.

THE INTERURBAN.

Perhaps 1t would be best nor 10
froce the interurhan proposition into
the coming city election. Othe ques-
tinns viii present themselves for az
justment at this election, which seem
important enough to engage the eh.
tire attention of well wishers OF the
city. Moreover. none of the outgoing
aldermen who voted against the ordi-
nances that were passed is opposed TO
an internrban railway. Their only
wish is that any franchise granted
for such an enterprise shall be SD
drawn that the interests OF the people
may be protected against encroach-
ment by men who will have only
their own interests in view during
the half century that the franchise
is to run.
If 1t be claimed that there should
be given to the new company such
freedom OF action i'm matters other
than the operation of an interurban
railway, as will enable them to afford
the people OF Cairo relief from present
o.. prospective oppression by the
Cairo Electric & Traction Company.
then the ordinances should be so
framed that such relief will be Ger.
tainly assured. II would be no adj.
vantage to the people of Cairo to res
cue from one grasping and oppressive
corporation, only to turn them over,
bound hand and foot, to another cor
pOration even more hungry and less
directly concerned with local interests
than the first.
1t may be true, as some seem to
believe. that the Cairo Electric &
Traction Company Is sort of devil
on land" but there has been some
reason to believe that the interurban
proposition has hidden in 1t something
very much like shark in the de ep
