The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-01-10

Many Of them bought bills of clothing, dry
goods, groceries, etc, amounting TO from
ten to fifty dollars, and hundreds of them
patronzed our hotels, restaurants, saloons
etc, leaving in the aggregate, in the hands
Of our people, n sum ofmoncy not less than
$1,000 or $4,000 Not less than 81 800 to
$4,000 was clear profit. What was
done last year, in that behalf,
can be brought about again this year. Il
our merchants and others who made the
money last year, will contribute sum
equal to one fourth of their clear profits,
There are business establishments and no.
tells in the city, the proprictors of which
would make n profitable investment by
contributing fifty dollars each, 1t is as
much as the crew should be expected to do
10 give the time and expcnd the labor in
yolved in the get up of n creditable demon.
stration. In doing that they would be the
heaviest contributors in the city. But as
we have already intimatcd, the City Coun.
Gil can't give because of legal hinderances,
the crew ought not to be asked or expected
to meet the expense, and as there seems to
be no disposition on the part Of the mer-
chants, hotel keepers and other parties in
terested to take hold OF the matter, the
probabilities are very strong that we shall
have no public celebration Of Mardi,Gras
day 1879,
We should like it very much if Judge
Harkcr would permit US to add Just one
paragraph TO his "Rules of Practice" 1t is
this: Tia, in all those cases where law
yers, who have had ample time and fail,
though "cussed laziness'' or chronic neglect
TO be ready, tina, then, and in that case, the
cases shall either be clicked out of the
court" or continued at the proper cost Of
the lawyer himself. The sheer neglect or
equally hateful dilatoriousness OF Cairo law
yers, has cost Alexander county hundreds
if not thousands Of dollars On one occa-
sion We saw the whole machinery of the
court stopped for an interval of one hour
and forty minutes while bailitfwent down
town to get a book play game Of sancho
and take four drinks).the lawyer had for
gotten to bring along with him. About /
o'clock yesterday case ives called, the at.
torncy announced himself ready. a Jury was
called, and then the attorney discovered
that he was not ready, having no witnesses
present. The court could not well undo
what had been already done in the case,
hence, there being no alternative, the court
adjourned, and lost an hours time. Every
occurrence of this kind occasions an actual
waste Of public money, and We are glad to
notice q disposition on the part OF Judge
Harkcr TO put stop to il.
