The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-07-08

feature we know; but as Mr.. T. is probably
averse to figuring before the public as the
singer of hot coffee pots and movable fur
naces. we think It bctterto subordinate sen
sation to the unvarnished story the facts
necesstate.
The horse that laid in the street near
the court house day or more, because Of
paralysis in its hinder parts, was removed
on Saturday, to Johnny Smiths cattle pen
on the corner OF Nineteenth and Washing
ton. There, in the blazing sun, the poor
creature was permitted to lie, without at,
tention until yesterday, when happily, 1t
died, AS It's carcass has already become
very offensive, the owner should be com.
PEELED to remove It, at once.
The ordinance that permits hogs to
run at large, to lift ones gate from its
hinges and to root up his door yard--that
causes the town to be over-run with filthy
animals that forage upon everybody but
their owners~-this ordinance is supposed to
operate to the advantage Of the poor man.
But let Captain Halliday and Mr.. Gallagher,
each, bring 800 hogs into the city to eat up
the waste about their mills, and two
months will not elapse before the repeal of
the ordinance will be demanded because it
fosters nuisance that puts money in the
pockets of the rich man Of precisely that
kind Of material is the average citizen
constructed
Our police authorities are nonplussed.
They don't know what to do with Sarah
Williams. If the magistrates fine her and
give her stay Of execution, she disregards
her promise to leave the city. 1.-THE police
pick herup and confne her in the calaboose,
she serves out her time and is in the police
court again within "a hours Of the
time Of her discharge She is utterly in
corrigib!e-has no pride or sense Of shame
to appeal to--her better nature is b.uuted,
and it really seems but a waste Of time,
effort and corporation food to enforce the
law against her, Hence, the question what
shall we do with Sarah Williams3 is the
most perplexirg question with which police
are called upon to deal.
Falsely crediting to THE BULLETIN a
paragraph that may lave appeared in the
Cairo Sun, number Of our Republican ex-
changes make US say that Harkcr having
defeated Crawford for the Circuit Judgeship,
it followed that any good Republican could
also beat Crawford in race for Congress.
OF course we never SAID, intimated or
thought anything of the kind; but the
saucy fellow Of the Du Quoin Tribune in
sists otherwise, and demands the repubica-
ton Of the item referring to Crawfords
congressional chances Well, here it is,
and except in the present connection, it
embodies the only reference we ever made
to Judge Crawford as probable candidate
for Congress "Wel,, good can come out
Of evil after all, BY defeating Judge
Crawford, the Republicans have provided
the Democrats with the very man who will
beat Thomas in the congressional race Of
1880"
