The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-05-21
NEW SERIES---NO.2 S3.


The report of Commissioner Raum rela-
i've to the enforcement Of the law against
illicit distilleries contains some facts which
will set political economists to thinking.
One hundred and nine thousand dollars is
startling bill for that purpose alone, and it
Is not encouraging to us as a law abiding
people that 5000 persons had to be arrested
in one year for this offence, and that four
or i've times that number escaped punish
ment which was due them The larger
proportion OF this work was in Southern
states; in fact, the number OF arrests there
being 5000 to l41 in all the other states.
What can be done to correct this evil9 Can
the revenue laws be so amended as to make
| the law more easy of enforcement or to
take away the incentive to fraud9 Or
should the government machinery be
strengthened so that the law as 1t is can be
more promptly enforced. and thus abolish
the nuisance' Congress will probably try
to devise some remedy, but it involves
knoty problem.
The bill introduced by Congressman
Herbert, of Alabama, relating to the pub
lie lads of the United States,' aud re-
portel favorably by the public lands COM
Mite, is Intended for the relief of certain
pers,ns in the Southern states who were
prosecuted by Secretary Schurz, and fined
or Imprisoned for cutting timber on u s.
Lads. 1t is supposed that many of them
we're innocent of intended wrong and that
they ought to be released. They cut tim
Der from lands they claimed TO occupy as
settlers, or were so long undisturbed in the
work that they supposed they had rights.
The Indian Territory matter is not likely
to be allowed to rest with the decision of the
President that the lands purchased for the
Indians are no. open to white settlement A
bill soon be introduced to give the Terri
tory government like other Territories,
with the right of representation in congress
and this will be the entering wedge to some
conclusive action relative to the lands
named. There is a growing sentiment
against perpetual shutting out of settlers
from these lands, and the Western States
are especially opposed to keeping that Ter
ritory as prison for tubulent tribes of In
dians.
The health bulletin sent out from
the District of Columbia ought to be ex-
planned in the interest OF the truth. It
places Washington among the places of
the highest ratio of mortality, it being 26 in
1000 to New York's "a in 1000. 1t is esti-
mated that the while mortality is only
about II, and that great part of this is
caused BY Northern pdope who come here
with diseases The greatest mortality is
among negroes, Washington is one of the
most delightful and healthy cities on the
continent at this season of the year.
STIMULATE THE SLUGGISH KIpNEYs-In
addition to its tonic and cathartic proper
ties, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, exercises
beneficial influence upon the kidneys and
bladder, when they are inactive by stimu-
lating them to renewed exertion thus re-
opening, as it were, a sluice for the
escape of inquiries whose regular
chanal Of exit is the organs of
ur;nation. Among these are certain
abnormal and inhamatory elements, pro-
ductive ofirreparable injury of the system
ifnot entirely expelled. The kidneys and
bladder themselves are also benefited by
this stimulous, as their inactivity is usually
a preliminary to their disease and disorgan-
ization, They also experience, in common
with other portions of the system, the po-
tent invigorative effects of the Btters,
which furthermore corrects disordered con-
ditions of the stomach bowels and liver.
