Jailer McHalc has eleven female pris-
oDers in his charge. One of these unfor-
tunate women has with her I. daughter
about two years and six months old. The
little innocent can just walk and is begin
ming TO prattle. She does not yet know
the deep disgrace that rests upon her

preeiatcd scrip has been the obstacle which
has met every administration of the city
government. IL has been an obstacle which
could not be surmoun,ed, and 1t has cost
the people Of Cairo many thousands ofdol-

laborer could be- found to work for 81 In

peddlc about the streets and finally sell for
from so 10 80 cents on the dollar. He WAS
compelled 10 add the discount. Nails and
lumber, and everything used by the city,
costs the city from 10 20 81 per cent. more |

evil is the question. We believe IL can be
done, and shall take occasion To ventilate !
our "plan nj an early day. The subject !
is one which should he discussed through !
