THE SCHOOL QUESTION

The State Register commenting upon
the school resolutions of the Cairo Citi-
zcns' Association, says:
The Citizens Association, of Cairo, is
an organization OF the taxpayers and
business men of that city for the purpose
of building up the material interests of
the city. In discussing the various ques-
tons of local taxation, attention has been
drawn to the school system, and at the
last meeting Of the association resolutions
were adopted in relation to the existing
evils and proposing remedies therefor.
The preamble sets forth the constitn-
tional provision for free school system,
and declares that
1.-The public schools, as now conduct
ed, appear to be carried on upon princi-
pies clearly in violation of the organized
law of the State, and in consequence, Il
great burden of taxation Is thrown
upon taxpayers without warrant of
law
The resolution commits the association
to liberal support of the public schools
while managed in accordance with the
provisions OF the constitution, but de-
clares an opposition to the extension OF
the system beyond the good common
school education there provided. The
resolution also declares that taxes inn
posed for extending the system beyond
the constitutional limit are Illegal, and the
members pledge themselves "tO use all
lawful means to prevent the imposition of
such taxes and to cOniinc the use of the
public schools to the limits above indi-
Gated.
OF course. the position of the associa-
ton Is absolutely perfect, in legal sense.

they deserve 10 bc beaten TO teach them
their place. The Democracy have
only themselves to blame In
submitting to the demands of the priests
IN the way they did. II was unfortunate,
indeed, that the Catholic question was
logged into the campaign. The Dem.
ocracy was the only party that ever did
anything for the Catholics, and 1t would
seem that the more that Is done for them
the more they will demand. Their AFRO
gancc is insullerable. and as we shall be
defeated anyway, hope 1t will hereafter
teach these mcddlcsomc priests lesson
they will undcrstand--that j., to let poll
ties alone. |. Tor one, don't propose to
stand any further nonsense from these
fellows"
The senator went on to defend the po.
sition he took in his Mansfield speech,
saying that he had been most outrage.
onsly abused and misrcprcscntcd by the
Republican press that had he come out
flat-footcdly IN opposition to the financial
plank in the State platform, he would

that he is Capt. John II. Hogan, who was
an officer in Company G.. 10Th Illinois

time ago prosecuted one of the gang for
selling liquor to his son, and had sue
cecded in having the dealer fined. The
kuklux had notified him of their intention
to visit him and make him pay over the
amounts collected from the dealer. Capt
Hogan was also advised OF the intention
OF the kukluX to visit Mr.. Maddox, and

BEYERIDGE.N Joke.

Among the Republican papers which
have been loud in condemnation of the dill
atory course of Gov. Bcveridgc in re-
gard to the Southern Illinois Kuklux, has
been the Chicago Tribune. The Cover
nor has been much annoyed by these crit
icisms and "sot back at the editor of the
Tribune in tolerably neat manner--for
Bevcridgc. A special dispatch to the st.
Louis Republican of yesterday, speaking
of the KukluX troubles, said:
"The governor has been severely crti-
cised by the papers Of the State for his
apparent inaction, and in these attacks
the Chicago Tribune has been in the front
ranks. His excellency has also suffered
not II little from the pressing requests
OF reporters and correspondents
for Information rs to what has been
done. He showed plainly that he felt
both these annOyances to-day, when in
answer to inquiry what he intended to
do, he said that at any rate he did not in
tend to run away To Europe, now that
the trouble had begun, and this obliolle
reference to the flight of 10. Medill of
the Tribune when he was mayor of Chi

"MARD TIMES. Z"

1t is a favorite complaint of the Cairo
people, OF her merchants, her mechanics
and herl aborers, that business is dull,
trade fiat, times hard. The tune has
been sung until it has grown TO be mo-
notonous. A.few OF our people, even, in
the hope OF moving out of hearing of the
dolorpus melody, arc turning their backs
on Cairo and seeking other homes. But
the complaint Of hard times, which these
persons are trying TO flee from, Is not pc
culiar TO Cairo. All over the length and
the breadth OF the land, people are suffer-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Ever since Senator Thurman permitted
his party in Ohio to give uttcrance to pc
culiar financial views and then attempted
to explain them in his own way. he has
been getting into trouble. Before that
time he was highly regarded by men Of
MI parties. and every ono said. "He is a
man of ideas, who is not afraid to defend
his principles against all Corners he will
he President yeti But, Since his great
mstake-his distinguished manifestation
of timidity-pcoplc have begun to say,
Poor Thurman what pity The
senator is not unaware of the drift of
popular sentiment. and Is therefore quer-
ulous. Like all men of his kind-timid
men of well-defincd IDEAS on political
subjects. having failed to give uttcrancc
to his views when such utterancc would
have had effect, and seeing that he has
made a mistake he is brave in private
conversation, and ~ indiscret in utter
sncc as he was indiscreet in silence when
utterancc was demanded of him.
This fact will be apparent to any one
who will read Senator Thurman's con-
versation with Mr.. Theodore Cook at
Put-in-Bay lately. In it he said be had
no respect for Mr.. Cary, the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of
Ohio; that Cary was a political adven-
turer, narrow-minded, perfectly unprin-
cipled, totally unbalanced; that he was
a demagoguc and out-and-out Commu-
mist.
The Senator did not stop here. lie
went on to say that the Odd priests
had ovcr-donc the thing by sticking their
noses into politics, and ought to be
beaten to teach them their places; tina,
the Democracy was the only party tina,
had ever done anything for the Catholics
and that 1t seemed the more that wa.

JUDGE THURMAN AND THEO-
D0RE COOK.
SOmc Loose talk About Ohio Politics.
cincinnati Commercial /

lCincinnati Commercial.
CLEVELAND, Aug. Il.
On sunday morning last, about II
o'clock, Senator Thurman and MIR. Cook.
OF Cincinnati the information is the
property Of the Cleveland Leaderl. were
sitting in front of the West House, ut
Pul-in-Bay,.. and, in presence OF n third
party, engaged in an earnest and mourn
fnl conversation upon the Democratic
ticket and prospects in this State. Mr..
COOK, III the course Of the conversation,
expressed the opinion Of Sam Cary that
hewas too much of lightweight for the
party to carry. and that the party made
great mistake in nominating him. so
much so that the ticket was in absolute
danger OF defeat.
Mr.. Thurman responded, saying that
he agreed with Mr.. Cook, that he had no
respect Tor Mr.. Cary, as he considered
him mere political advcnturer, narrow
minded, perfectly unprlncipled, with an
active mind, but totally Unbalanced lie
believed him to be an INSCRIPTIONS dem
aSogue, one whose great forte is to aD-
peal to the passions of his hearers. In
fact, he considered Cary to be- an out-and-
out Communist. As for himself, the
Senator said under no circumstances
would he speak at the same meeting
where Sam Cary was to speak, for his
own sclf-rcspect forbade him to DC seen
in his company. He said he never
heard Cary but twice in his life,
and did not wish to hear him
again under any circumstances, SO great
was his feeling OF contempt tor that n.y.
pocrltical temperance spotter. lie heard
him deliver a temperance lecture in Co.
lumbus, from the west end Of the State
house, some years ago, but his vitupera-
tive abuse Of men who dealt In liquors
was so violent and slanderous that he
only remained few minutes, and came
away disguised. The next time he heard
Sam was ut GAINESVILLE, during the CAM
paign of 1872. where he (rhurman) had
an appointment to speak. When he ar
rived at the place of meeting he found.
much to his surprise, that Sam Cary was
announced as one of the speakers, and he
was compelled in spite OF himself to lis
ten to him.
Mr.. Cook remarked that it was very
unfortunate for the Democracy that the
Catholic question had been brought in !;
that II was going to result In many DEM
ocrats voting with the Republicans, and
In many more staying away from the
polls. lie feared that this alone would
loose the State to the Democracy.
Mr.. Thurman replied emptatically !:
