The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-05-19

will be felt by all, but especially by the
merchants, for all time to come. In order
10 insure a celebration that will bring our
neighbors here and entertain them magni-
fccntly, the fire companies and Mystic
Knew have united their forces; hence
our citizens and all Others may rest as
sured that it will exceed anything Of the
kind ever given here, if they are
properly encouraged by our people.
The programme that has so far been de-
cided apon is about as follows; Morning,
grand parade through the principal streets
of the city by the Mystic Krew and all the
fire companies, with their engines, hose
carts, etc. Evening, four races, in which
some of the best racers in this part of the
country will take part. Night, magnif'
cent display Of fire works and dancing.
The fire works will be superior to any ever
given in Cairo. y
1t is due to~the Cairo and Vincennes
railroad company to say, in answer to the
question often asked by teamsters, "why is
the company's track not kept in repair6'
that the wet weather is principally to blame
for this apparent neglect on the part OF the
company. The company's gravel pits have
been too wet to permit any gravel to be
taken out and they are so situated that it
requires some time for them to become suf-
ficiently dry. The company's construction
train was brought down to the pit day be-
fore yesterday for the purpose of "putting
the pit in shape" and if the weather does
not again change from dry to wet, the track
will be kept in good condition. 1t appears,
therefore, that the weather has been more
to blame than the company.

-Conklings resignation leaves the SEN
ate in the hands of the democrats. The
great senator's act has had terrific effect
upon Washington, striking CONSERVATION to
the hearts Of the republicans of the senate,
who, Immediately after the announcement
of the resignation, went into caucus to de-
termine what to do next Conkling has
shown himself to be man of character,
who believes that person should not vio-
late with impunity compact solemnly
made, even though such compact be be-
tween thieves and in itself corrupt. While
such compact is wrong and, OF right,
ought to be void, yet it is the republican
method, adhered to almost from the birth
of the party, land sought by some to be en-
forced even in our recent municipal cleo
tom to make and faithfully observe them,
and by their observance they have kept the
party in harmony and IN power.
Garfield was faithful to his party's time
honored practice when he promised to give
Conkling control of the New York nomina-
tions on condition that he (Conkling)
"ould help MIN into the presidency; but
now, having been elected and being safely
in the enjoyment of the results of the cor
rupt bargain, he repudiates it and scorns
the man with whom he made it. Conkling
has reason to be angry at Garfeld's
shameless violation of solemn agreement.
