The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-07-02


as gang Of ruffians, and outlaws, FEELING
Of resentment and restlessness is natural.
but aside from local drunken broils, Chica.
go will see no bloobshed on the Fourth
Of July next.
In the stacks Of fre-crackers, boxes of
torpedoes, bundles of sky-rockets, and in
the flags Of all sizes that fill the show-win.
dowS OF our family groceries and confec-
tionary establishments, we have an intima-
ton Of the near approach of the Fourth Of
July thar is not whit more convincing
than the general willingness ana eagerness
of the little folks TO do something to earn

people all their boarded nicklcs will 90

direct OUTLAWS Of pa and ma
The action of the United States Cir
cult Court in granting Receiver Smithers,
of the Cairo and st. Louis railroad, the
power TO purchase real estate in East St.
Louis worth $4,000; to pay for the same
with Receivers Certificates which are 70
operate as n first lien upon the property
and in granting him power to issue add
tional Receivers Certificates to the amount
of $4,000 from which to realize money
| wherewith to improve the real estate-theSe
acts rather plainly indicate that the com
pany has determined to locate It's machine
and repair shops in East St, Louis and to
commence the erection of the buildings as
soon as may be.
The Industrial school for homeless or
phan girls, for the success of which num-
Der Of our Cairo ladies have expended much
effort, is said to have realized from the Au-
thor's Carnival, in Chicago, the very hand
some sum of two thousand dollars. The
Carnival a description of which was given
in THE BULLETIN, was, in the thoroughnes'
of its conception, the fidelity of its detail
and in its magniicence as whole, one OF
the grandest and most attractive affairs
ever witnessed in the Northwest Can't
We, in the years TO come, in aid Of some
deserving undertaking, make prodiglou;
effort. invite our neighbors 10 our assistance
and get up congress of authors that viii
set Cairo ablaze with wonder and admira
tom We have an mistaken faith in oul
ability to do almost anything.
The probabilities are that we shall
need Cromwell for our City Council. Al
half past 10 o'clock last night it com
menced the allowance of claims against
the city As the members entered
upon an allowance of each city
officers salary, separately, it is moi
unlikely that the same rule extended
to the several items of other claims. If il
did, the allowance of claims consumed the
balance OF the night. We need not ado
that the session was a warm one-that the
right feeling did not prevail and that the
responsibility for such state
of affairs could not be charged wholly
to either wing of the body
The state of feeling manifested is to be de
plored, and the well being of the city de
mands that means be adopted, at once, Il
bring about better understanding.
If Leadville has a counterpart any
where II America, st. Clair county furn
ishes that counterpart in the city of Eas
st, Louis. According to the statement o.
its own papers, for every iorty-fve cents thu
people eXpend there for the support of th'
ministry, they expend four hundred dollar
for the support Of the saloon keepers
Cairo being ore terminus OF the Short Lin
railroad, and East st. Louis the other, witt
only seven hours ride between them, i
would seem that our moral practices anc
prcccpts ought to exert restraining effect
but, utterly ignoring our example, the PEG
ple there run riot in wickedness that appall
and astounds the whole country. A singl
number of the East st. Louis Herald, re
ccvcd yesterday, tells us how ruttianly
brutal negro men arc hired to assassinat
quiet citizens; TO invade the family clrcl
and beat, bruise, main and Kill. 1t tell
how one man is sentenced to the penitenti
ary for fourteen years and another for life
for setting fire to buildings, and thcrcb
burning to death five human beings-th
object being to destroy the tenant Of tn
house, ia widow woman who had faile
TO pay her rent,) and to secure til
amount for which the buildings wer
