WE understand some enterprising young men of Waukegan think of taking the recalcitrant members of their city council about the country for a Show, claiming that, as the late P. T. Barnum would say, “it is the biggest show on earth." Our city olficals are very strict, allowing none but thOSe of high moral character, but the News will useits best endeav- or to get you in here, even if we have to strain Our conscience. l’uhHshcd in the Interests 0!

WE lwg leave forthe fiftieth orone hundredth time to remind our cit- izens of every class and kind that it is just us much their duty to go into court and testify in a case of drunken- ness and disturbance of the peace, as it is for the police to arrest and the court to try and sentence these offend» ers. True the police and court are sworn to do their work impartially and thoroughly. Yes, and so every citizen has been sworn to do his duty as a citizen, irrespective of his social positions business interests or any thing else. The greatest obstacle we have in securing,r justice to offenders here is the-unwillingness of people to testify. Every few weeks _we, are scolded because we don’t deal more severely with “John” or “Dick” or some one else, and then after the trial, is all over they tell us how these fel- lows acted. We are getting tired of this: the time to testify is in court. and if you want a culprit punished, find out when the trial is to come of? and be on hand with your evidence. It is no worse for you to he hated or scolded about than it is for the police, or the court, or the mayor. It seems to us the city pursues a wrong policy in not making little repairs on sidewalks. even though they should he made by the owners. ()nesix-inch plank fails in a walk on u lot where the owner does not live; the superintendent of streets sees it, and we think the better, cheaper wuy Would he to put in 11 new one, instead of the cumbersome method of having the city elerk in- formed. then he write u letter to the owner and wait, :1 week or two, mean time the city taking all the chances of a broken leg and damages. Let the city own at good lmndenrt and keep in stock of plank. and when he heconw convinced that any person or persons are bound to defy its power and authority. they will on- forco its restrictivo and punitive or- dinances to tho utrnoSt, and if they are not severe enough, others will he enacted to meet the case. The city of Highland Park rules, and will continue to do so: don‘t forget that. THE HIGHLAND PARK NEWS. A MISTAKEN POLICY. finds a plank or two out go and put them in and say nothing.
