any of the citizens who have stood
with them in the controversies that
the Cairo & Thebes shall be always
an open door" into Cairo. for any
abroad that may wish to use it; and
the only objection to the lease Of the
Cairo & Thebes property to the Iron
Mountain Co. was that its makers had
refused to incorporate in it this
pledge, which was so often and so
alphabetically made to the people OF
Cairo. and was embodied in the con
ract between the Cairo & Thebes Co.
and the l.. & N. Co. That this, in
ubstance, is all that is wanted by
those who have caused the repeal
he franchise ordinance was repeat
,dly stated by them, publicly and
privately, verbally and in writing.
Judge Dewey, speaking for the l..
& NJ. and Mr. Middleton speaking
or the Iron Mountain, told the city
council Thursday that they wer
more than willing to do this.
In view of these declarations, the
after, or those for whom they spoke,
IAN not consistently object to having
such a provision made a part of the
franchise ordinance; and neither par
" 10 the controversy can stand IN
he way OF an amicable agreement,
without raising question as to the
sincerity of their words.
One thing ought to be kept always
lppermost in the minds of those en-
.aged in the negotiations on this sub
ieet. The people of Cairo do not
want the Iron Mountain driven out
If Cairo; they do not want the Cairo

hey have always shown concerning

development for their city.

THE MAIN TOPIC
BY n. r. Potter,

The Cairo & Thebes railway con
tinues the leading topic in this city
and the local public want all the light
on it they can get, To aid in this
investigation a few pertinent ques.
tons might be introduced to system
ize and simplify it,
Years back the city subscribed nun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars in bonds
virtually bankrupted itself, to secure
railroads. Stock was received in ex-
change for the bonds; but in the case
of the Cairo & Vincennes road, now
section of the Big Four, the stock
was donated to aid in the construc-
ton OF the road. In the case Of the
Cairo & st. Louis road, now a diyi-
sion of the NJ. & O., the stock was
held until it became worthless The
city was offered at one time 1919
cents on the dollar for it, but de-
clined the offer Tae questions fol
lowing this statement of facts are,

liberal to railroad projects then, IN,

inhabitants, and which adds largely
to its taxable property, also greatly
improves the city and adds to its at

appear to them as no longer essen

NOW GET TOGETHER.

The action OF the city council Thur
day night in repeating the Cairo {
Thebes franchise ordinance calls 70
the approval of citizens generally
because it was taken in defense
what al concerned must admit wa
right Even the gentlemen who Oh
posed it. Judge Dewey for the L. &
N. railroad, and Mr.. Middleton TO-
the IRON Mountain, admitted tina
faith had not been kept with the PEG
pie when they offered to do at las
what they mad for months refused t
consider. Nor can they blame the
city authorities, nor the citizens wht
urged the adoption Of the repeal ordi
nance. for refusing TO again accep
mere promises, in view of the prom
ises which had been so deArmin
ately broken. The city was right tt
place itself, if possible, in position
where 1t could enforce the perform
ance Of any promises that might be
made, something which it neglected
to do In the first place.
The mayor signed the repeal ordi
nance yesterday and it will be effec-
tive in ten days. The Cairo & Thebes
Co. is given twenty days after that
to comply with the demands made
in the ordinance, to remove the tracks
etc, from the streets over which
rightof-way was granted. Failing tc
comply the company Is to be sued
as per resolution instructing the ma
yor to do SO.
On the face of things, as matters
will stand at the expiration OF the
ten-day period, the Cairo & Thebe'
Co. Viii have no rights Of any kline
in the city--except its ownership o
the private property which it bough
and paid for. But there will be twt
ways open to it to- re-establish II
rights to pass over the streets it oc
cupies. One is to fight the matter GU
In tho courts, to determine whethe
Or moi the ground upon which tn
city repealed the franchise ordinanc
was well taken. viz: that the Cair

was adopted The other way will b
to cone together on the difference
that are presented, adjust them in a
amicable way. and frame and adol

Manifestly, the latter is the quickt
and fhe better way. The railroa

Light on Ancient Days.

Until recently the exploration of
the Sudan was impossible, owing to
the attitude of the natives, but last
year the excavations of Meroe, the
ancient capital of ETHIOPIA, was com
menced. Perhaps the most important
result of the early work will be the
addition of Ethiopian to our knowl-
edge of languages which have ceased
to exist A large number of inscrip-
ton in hieroglyphic and cursive writ
ing have been found, and 1t has been
discovered that the unknown language
is based on an alphabetical system
a circumstance which will make the
deciphering of the inscriptions much
easier than was the case with the Hit
tite language, which has occupied Pro
fessor Sayce 80 years.

The inhabitants rushed from their

first that che shocks were caused by
an explosion at a gasworks. No seri-
GUS damage was done, although the
earth tremors caused many gas man
