THE CITY OF CAIRO.

The second annual address OF Mayor
Winter 10 not elegant as piece OF COM
position, but 1t embodies facts and statis-
tics that render 1t worthy OF preservation.
We gather from Il the following facts Of
general Interest,"
The total interest bearing debt of the
city of Cairo is $405. sos 50, which is
equivalent to $3.50 80 per capita OF our
voting population.
The maintenance of the city govern.
mcnt during the past fiscal year, cost
$3l 1856 81. Total expenditures, includ-
ing interest OH bonds, ETC.. $50 $40 o..
Receipts from all sources during the
year $6O.123 20.
Number Of actual fires during the year.
81. Los $4,000 G5; insuracc Sl5,5OO.
Six of these fires were caused by the
bursting of coal oil lamps.
Sidewalks built and repaired during the
year, 1883 feet, Or nearly fifteen miles.
which embraces nearly the entire system
of the city sidewalks.
In treating oflhe expenses lot the city
government the mayor throws ont a
suggestion that Is worthy OF an expert
mental test. II is this: Receipts from
licenses, fines, etc. amount to Sl3,S9S.
by reducing the police force 10 u chicl
aud two policemen, the salaries OF al
city officers would amount to only
Sal G7 per month, or $3.50 per year
These salaries paiu, there would yet re-
main in the treasury .SlO,2iS. dispense
with the use Of gas and garbage carts
and all repairs on streets and sidewalks
except such as might be made by the
chain gang and the Sl0,2 would bca sui
iicient sum for all general purposes. The
people thus would be relieved Of all take,
except such levy as would be nccessar,
to provide for the interest on our Dondet
debt and should the way be opcred fol
legal escape from that burden, ther,
would be no occasion to levy one dolla
of tax for any purpose.
For one We are entirely willing L
make the experiment. The few incon
veniencies to which we would be sub
jected, would weigh nothing in the bal
ance against the enormous taxes unde
which We are ut present struggling; ant
where is the citizen VINO would not bea
them with patience, when, through srcl
trifiin CALCULATIONS" we could 90 up t.
the paradise of an untaXed people.

TEN \ EkSEE RIVER RAILROAD.

The st. Louis Times, of recent date,
In an article ON the Cairo and Tennessee
river railroad, recommends 1t to the PEG.
pie and capitalists Of st. Louis, and says /:
"Cairo will be unable to do much, If any
thing, toward building the road; but it
Is expected that the interest of st. Louis
will induce her capitalists to push the
work forward to completion
WehOpc st. Louis capitalists will push
tins work forward to completion; but
what have they done In the past? How
much assistance did they give to the
Cairo and st. Louis road, which has been
of ten times more benefit to st. Louis
than to Cairo, that subscribed 5000, 900
towards building IT. Nothing Abso-
lutely nothing. Poor as they may think
Cairo to be. we would not be surprised
IL she would, in time. do
more tor this road into Kentucky
and Tennessee than st. Louis will. Cairo
has raised, or will raise, as "unable as
she is" $4,000 to pay for the survey OF
the road from Mayfield to Cairo. Il
there was IA great deal of capital lying
idle here" rs the Times says there is il
| st. Louis, this road would be built with
out delay. We agree with the Time.
that the road would be OF great benefit t,
st. Louis In enabling them to reach tn,
cotton, tobacco and iron regions OF Ten
ncssec,' aud in giving them the "advant
age Of the shortest line of narrow ga,lg,
communication with Georgia and Ala
bama."
Every argument in favor of this road
for st. Louis, applies with even stronger
force to Cairo, and all we hope is that 81
Louis may take hold Of II in earnest. i
she does, 1t will be more than she ha,
ever done for any enterprise in this di
rection. We hope, but fear.

Which ShRllllnke?

This j. often Il serious question with
the invalid. He finds the market flooded
with proprietary medicines, scores of
which are recommended rs certain cures
for his peculiar ailIncnt. lie reads the
papers, circulars. AMI almanacs, and
finds each sustained by plausible argu-
menls setting forth its virtues and spc-
citic action. The recommendations are
rs strong tor one n: for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by
one arc IA wonderful as those claimed to
have been wrought by another. In his
pcrplcxity aud doubt. the sufferer is
sometimes led TO reject all.
But il should be borne in mind that
this condition Of things is one that cannot
be remcdicd. In a land where all are
free, the good-ihc truly yaluable-must
come INTO competition with the vile and
worthless and must he brought to public
notice by the same fundamentally,
which is adUertising. In such a case, per-
haps the only absolute proof that II
remedy Is what II claims to be. Is to try
it. The "test Of pudding is the eating
of it," prove all things, hold fast that
which is good" is the apostolic iniunc-
ton. There may, however, be stronger
prcsumptive evidence in favor of one
remedy than there is in favor OF another,
and this should be allowed Its due weight.
A due regard to this may save vast
amount OF experimenting and useless
outlay of money. As prcsumptive cvi-
dencc in favor of DR.. Piercc's
Family Medicines, the proprietor de-
sires to say, that they are prepared by
u new and scientific process by which
the virtues OF the crude plants aud roots
are extracted without the use of a parti.
Gle of alcohol. Not a particle of this dis.
trOyer OF our race enters into the compo.
sitiOn of either his Golden Medical Dis
cOvery or Fayorite Prescription. Thi,
consideration alone ought certainly tC
rank them high above the vile com
pounds saturated with alcohol, Jamacif
rum, sour beer, or vinager, which arc
every where offered for sale. Again, they
are OF uniform strength. and their vir
tues can never be impaired by age. They
are also made from fresh herbs and roots
gathered in their appropriate season
when they are flush with medicinal prop
critics. In support OF these claims, tho
following testimony is offered:

MAYOR WINTER, In his second annual
address, refers to the property holders of
Cairo who intend to resist the payment
of the railroad interest tax, As an "cle.
inent," and volunteers the opinion that
the tax assessed must be paid. The 'ele.
ment" embraces Observation-Disclosures OF
all the property holders OF Cairo. and
these Observation-Disclosures represent forty
hine-iiitieihs Of all the taxable property.
But they are set Of ninnics neyerthe-
less. They should hayt asked the
Mayors opinion before inauguratiny their
movement. Failing to do so they now
find themselves butting a stone wall; or,
In other words resisting Tie payment of
tax that must be paid.
