The POLICE FoRcE.- because an occa-
sionsl robbery or burglary occurs in
the city, certain parties are inolined to
grumbls now, but who few years since,
when the Clipperisn thieves occupied
every nook and corner IN the city
and ran things pretty much in their own
way, would not open their innocent
mouths. Now when q robbery is COM
mitted these chronic grumblers
hold up their hands in horror
and cry; "Terrible What are the
psliee doing? Why don't they squelch
all the thieves" Even the blindest of
these dissatisfied and unreasonable men
must see that the police officers on duty
a very small force-are doing all that
they can to suppress thievery. Within
the last few years a great reformation has
been made in the efficiency of the police
force Of CAIRO, and We believe it but JUS
tics to Mayor Wood and to the mem bers
of the present police force
to say that during the last year
the city has had as good and as efficient
force as ever before. Only Ave officers
arc on duty at night, and that it is possible
for this small force to guard every nook
and corner in the city against thieves and
burglars we do not believe. The city has
been divided into two districts, all below
and south of Twelfth street comprising
one, and all that part of the city north of
Twelfth street the second. Officers Shee-
kan and Martin patrol the first, and
officers Wooten and Meehner tho second.
1t is not to be expected tina. these four
can properly patroli all the territory as
signed to them, and If robbsries are COM
mittsd this fact should be taken into con.
sideration. But says the grumbler, "wby
don't the city council authorize the mayor
to appoint more police p and in answer
to this the council says; "Mr. grumbler
why don't you point out how the city can
raise money whsrswith to employ more

can public. They are compounded Of
vegetable Ingredients, aud contain moth.
ing which can be injurious to the human
constitution. Other remedies advertised
ms cures for Consumption, probably con
tain opium, which il somewhat danger
Gus drug in all cases, and If taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great
injury. foe its tendency is TO conGno the
morbid matter in the system, which, Of
course, mUst make cure impossible
Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle Of opium; 1t j.
composed OF powerful but harmless herbs
which act on the lungs, liver, stomach
and blood, and thus correct all morbi,
secrotions, and expcl all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the onl,
means by which consumption can b,
cured, AM as Schencks Pulmonic Syrup
