CAIRO. ILLINOIS,

Since Thursday the weather mas been |
everything that could have been desired for
the transaction Of business both indoors and |
out Cool and pleasant with fine rain |
that settled the dust and put the streets in |
splendid condition on Friday morning about |
daybreak. This state Of the weather, we
have no doubt, has had much to do with |
the life that has existed in all branches Of
trade.
In the -four market, the present aspect is
more pleasing to dealers than it has been
for two months. Some merchants complain
Of scarcity Of stocks, but outside Of the
choice grades, most Of them are well sup
piled. OF the choice grades, however,
there is very limited supply. There is
good demand for all grades, that will, no
doubt, continue from this time forward.
The demand for white corn has fallen off
somewhat, but is still far in excess of the
supply, and prices hold firm at quotations.
There is also a limited demand for yellow
mixed at 35@36c. OF mixed there is
ample supply.
The oats market is about as last reported.
There is still fair demand for mixed bulk
oats that receipts will do nothing more than
satisfy, but that the arrival of half dozen
cars would overcome, and very probably
cause the market to 90 down. All that ar
riyes is OF the new crop.
Meal continues active and firm at quota
tons, with no indications of a change. The
mills are fairly supplied, but commission
men have little on hand. Bran is plenty
and dull.
The market for butter and eggs would be
full of business if there were anything
here to sell that is desirable. Choice but
ter is very scarce, while there is clamor-

As THE GovERMEST bonds were

the real estate owner was violated when
they made the bonds in the hands of the
money kings payable in gold, and pro-
posed TO tax the real estate to make good
this promise. The action put double
tax on real estate and while it increased
the value of the bonds it decreased the
value of the real estate. 1t was a rascal
ly TRANSACTION. The bonds should have
been left just as the business and the
trade Of the country found them. They
were then the best investment there was;
the interest was promptly paid in gold,
and they would have been redeemed in
good paper. Every day that passes

we believe their gain by the depression

bonds will not equal what they will final

THE CHAIRMAN of the Democratic
County Executive Committee should
give notice at once of the day for
holding the election for Delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, on the 9th
of August. The day ought to have been
named in the call for the Convention, as
has been usual of late years, it would
then have been uniform all over the
State. The general opinion is that Sat
urday the goth day of July would be a
good time for the election. Joseph ii.
Walker, Esq, of Middletown, is the
Chairman cf the Executive Committee.
If notice is published at once ample
time will be Afforded to make the election
generally known by the 20th.

THE Republican is not correct in what
it says in the following from its issue of
Saturday:
The ordinance which was repealed
last night, would have compelled the
street committee to have given the con-
tract for hauling the ashes and removing
the garbage and oflal from the streets, TO
a Philadelphia firm, which happened to
be about 500 lower than the lowest of
our own home bidders. Had the contract
been given to this Philadelphia contractor
our streets would have been cleaned by
Philadelphia laborers, Philadelphia
horses and Philadelphia carts, and S11,-
600 would have been lostt to Wilmington.
This is the main reason why the contract
referred TO was annulled and all this work
and money will now be given to our home
laborers."
The Republican knows better. And
we just expected it would make some
such cunning and reckless assertions 10
cover up the act of the Council.
1t is not true that the contracts would
have TO be given to Philadelphia firm;
that was not the reason it was repealed,
nor did the Council say it was. In fact
the Council reserved the right to reject
any or all bids, and only proposed to give
it to the lowest and best bidders, Under
their call for proposals they could have
selected one of our own people who bid
for the contracts; or they could have ask
ed for proposals again. Nor does it fol-
low that if the contract had been given to
aPhiladelphia firm that they would moi
have employed Wilmington laborers.-
That is only surmise-a weak excuse
to cover up the wrong that has been done
by the party caucus action of the Repub
licans. If we are correctly Informed
there are now about thirteen out of 2
members of the City Council in favor 0
the contract system. All of the Demo
cracts (nine) are in favor of it, and tou
or five of the Republicans. But the Re
publicans held a caucus and all We're re
quired to be bound by its majority. Thu
there are II Republicans and seven 0
these favor repeal and oppose it in Tia
caucus, and thus the vote is carried whe
they 60 into Council the twelve all vot
for it and thus the city is governed in a
important matter by seven members il
stead of by q members. This is crack
ing the party whip with vengeance.
this action should be carried through til
year it will cost the city about $1,000
more to do the same work than it co.
last year.
We hope however that tbe Democra
may carry majority of the Council
September, and then the contract systel
will be restored again, and thus savir
of perhaps seven or eight thousand dolla
be effected.
The Democrats don't care picayur
for the Council and turned it out We;
before last because the Street Commit,
was not as economical as it should ba,
been, and now they will find the Repu
licans equally as ready, We hope, to NAL
the change the other way. In this ws
the people will be able to make Il
schemers for reelection know that tn,
cannot elect themselves at the expense
eight or ten thousand dollars ofthe NON
OF the taxpayers.

The teachers are given about ten weeks
in the year as holiday vacation for which
they are paid just as though they were
at work. They are, therefore, enabled
to visit the watering places and enjoy
themselves handsomely. In addition to
the ten weeks vacation they have about
"a holidays in the year, not counting
Sundays, for which they are paid. When
their advantages and privileges are COM
pared with the condition to which all
who fail to get employment at teaching,
and who are compelled to work everys
day or lose the time, and only get about
four dollars week and find themselves,
and run the risk of securing work
and also the money for it after it is done,
the contrast is wide one, and shows
how much our female teachers would
still be favored # their salaries were re-
duced about 30 per cent. We know
there are hundreds of young women
who would be glad TO take these posi-
tons at such reduction. We should re-
commend such reduction and an addi-
ton of about 30 per cent. of teachers.
This would diffrse the appropriation
while it would greatly benefit the schools
and guarantee far greater attention
and more rapid advancement in the
scholars in every department.
