But not the least among the bene-

saloons, and in this the saloon men
themselves are deeply interested No
one will contend for a moment that
we have not too many saloons in
Cairo. On a basis of $4,000 popula-

this will be true, no matter If the

It; any business would go to the dogs

The city council has served the peo-

WALNUT STREET.

The Board OF Local Improvements
did well to adjourn over the consid-
Grafton OF the last batch OF street i'm.
provements in respect to the very
formidable request from the people
of Walnut street 1t was not neces-
sary to delay action on any of the
streets excepting Walnut street, for
that was the only street against the
Improvement Of which with brick, a
protest had been made. 1t would
have been better had the Board acted
upon the estimates and resolutions
regarding Elm, Sycamore. Twenty
first and West Twenty,frst streets,
leaving Walnut to stand on its own
bottom; but 1t was decidedly wiser
to delay all of them than to force
them through in face of the strong
protest presented.
There Is some reason to believe, in
fact remarks by one or two aldermen
at the hearing Thursday night justify
the belief. that The holding up of all
streets was done as a matter of spite,
or to use them as a cudgel to beat
down the opposition to brick on Wal
nut street; and if this opposition
shall prove successful in forcing
change on that street then all the
streets shall be permitted to remain

citizens on any given street ask
them to consider some other pave
ment than that which they have de
cided upon. Surely. gentlemen of
the city council cannot overlook the
fact. that the law provides that a.

every proposed street improvement.
For what purpose?

TO be affected by and who are 10 be

Then why shou', any alderman

any given street appear, in response

their views upon an Improvement
