The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-05-15


The State Of Illinois promises to be
cursed with an avalanche of hasty legisla-
ton. Although the time fixed for the ad-
iournment of our General Assembly is near
at hand, over thousand bills remain I'M
considered. THIS tact is known to every
member of the Legislature, yet the majority
continues to 90 home every Saturday morn
ing and to remain away until Monday
evening, with the same eXactness and regu-
larity that governed them three months ago.
During an interval Of four months
and a halt less than one-tenth of
the bills introduced have been passed
upon. To consider and pass upon the 9th
er nine-tenths, the members have twelve
days left, and as they will spend five days
of that time in the bosoms of their families
or in their respective village saloons, re-
counting the hardships Of the life of law
maker, there remains, therefore, but seven
days in which to finish up nine-tenths of all
the business cut out for the whole session
OF course it were better that one half of
the "stuif' in hand remain unrestricted
but it is utterly impossible to dispose Of the
important business without "jumping in
the dark"-without cursing the people
with immature, impotent and inefficient
legislation. And fer all this the Republi-
can majority is responsible. The Demo,
Gratis are utterly powerlcss, In no depart
ment, in none of the committees, in none
Of the Offices are they permitted to con
ro!. They can neither adjourn the General
Assembly orprevent an adjournment. They
are, in figura;ive sense, tied hand and foot
and completely under control of the Rcpub.
cn majority. The Republican party, Their
being undeniably responsible for the Grim
inal waste Of time and money-for all the
sins of omission and commission that are
chargeablc to the present General AS
sembly, it remains to be seen, from the
composition of the next assembly, whether
majority of Illinois frecmen still hold to
the hurtful, even disastrous deusion that
Republican asccndancy is essential to good
government.

TIE Mayor of the city of Chicago has

THE Mayor Of the city of Chicago has
given orders to the police to give no quar-.
ter TO thieves that thieves who visit Chi
caco to do their crooked work should be
quietly notified to leave town bei.re they
get into trouble" We are to understand
then, that no quarter TO thieves means that
they shall not maintain quarters in Chicago;
but get out and prey upon some other com
munity. This is an economical way Of
disposing Of wrong. doors, selfish withal,
and not much calculated TO suppress crime
or tcrriiy wrong.doers. A man is q thief
because he has stolen the goods Of Others,
and If every community should deal with
such characters as Chicago proposes to deal
with them, the punishment for arcency
would be TO move on 1t is plain TO the
man with half minds eye, that the
Chicago policy will not do. A known
thief should be arrested on sight. II theft
can't be proven on him, try him as vag
and confnc him or. compel HIM to work iol
his maintenance. Temporizing with known

election Of 1880 il will not dare to employ
the army to intimidate or control voters.
That party knows that every State carried
by bayonet influence, will be ex-
cluded from the count. The Re-
publicans have the control Of the army
but in its right to canvass the election re-
turns the Democratic party has q power
that will serve to keep our voting places as
free from the presence Of Federal bayonets,
as they we're IN the time Of Harrison and
Van Buren,. The whole fight is merely
fight of party leaders in which the masses
feel but little concern, aside from the dis
gust they feel for the blathersllitcs who,
upon the one side, are shrieking "revolu-
tion," and upon the other side, are declar-
ing that the liberty of the citizen is in fear
full peril.

HARRISON presented papers contcsting Shell

The Men VINO are to Build the North
Wisconsin.
Barron Co, Shield.

Barron Co, Shield
The name Of Jacob Humbird is
a familiar one to our readers. For
The last two or three years, as is
we'll known, the old North Wiscon-
sin Company was held together by
the strength Of his name, and
saved from bankruptcy alone by
the faith Of financial circles in the
man. From the day he dropped
h,s trade and laid his blacksmith
hammer on his anvil for the last
tune, he has been railroad builder
and has never failed to complete a
route commenced. President Por-
ter began lie rs 4 brakasman, and
has developed into the prominent
ranks Of railroad management aud
successes. The Hon. PhiIelus
Sawyer, who is soon to become
identified with this great work, is
probably the most remarkable cx-
ample Of '>scIf made man" in the
state, and a very brief notice Of the
man can not fail to interest our
readers. Born in Vermont, his
parents soon after removed to New
York state. At the age ct II years
he bought "his time" for 500, and
l2bored 'by The month" until 81
years of age, when he emigratcd 10
Wisconsin, AID commenced his
career as a humble logger. Pros
perity and success has since fol.
lowed all his business undertakings,
and he is, to day, the second man OF
the state III wealth. These are the
men who are TO build the North
Wisconsin Railroad. Practical
men, who work more hours every
day than any man in their employ
are about al last, to push this IN
terprise. The character of the
mcn and their familiarity with
pioneer life, especially in the case
OF Mr.. Sawyer, ought to give ir-
couragement and hops that this
company viii create better, more
harmonious, hence, more profitable
70 both, state Of feeling among set
tiers along the line Of their road
than now exists.
