"A white man, a resident of East Cairo,
yesterday evening attracted general
attention as sad and lonely through the
streets he wandered taking the entire
sidewalk IN doing so. When he reached
Mr. Alba's barber shop, on Commercial
avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets,
he braccd up and, making rush for it,
broke large four.dollar pane of glass in
the front window. He was arrested by
Officers bunker and Hogan and locked up,
The Casino society has engaged
Washington hall for the evening of the
18th inst, and has made extensive arrange
ment for giving the best masquerade ball
of the season. A large number of fine suits
have been procured for the occasion, which
are to be had at Turner's hall. For nights
real enjoyment Washington hall will pres
ent unusual attractions on the night of the
ball, for the Casino society has never fail
ed to make complete success of affairs OF
this kind.
.--Barton's Free Press says: "Mr. Dan
Hogan, the aspirant for Capt. Willis
position, during the last campaign made
very fair sort of committeeman. He proba-
bly, did all he knew how and did it as well
as he knew how. But the leaders of the
Eighteenth district will smile broadly when
they learn that it was Hogan who worked
the district up from 600 to 1900 republican
majority and that the democrats see in
Hogan one Of the most dangerous men in
the district etc. Our opportunities to
know the feelings Of the republicans of the
Eighteenth district are second to none,
and we know that the leaders do not ap-
prove of paragraphs of such character.
Capt. J. G. Willis the present collector, is
a popular gentleman, and there is no reason
that he should not be continued in the posi-
tion save that he has acceptably performed
the duties Of the same for twelve years.
The office of collector of internal revenue
Is good paying one, and as Capt Willis
has enjoyed the endorsements for three
terms, many think that he ought to give
other men show. But he is undeserving
of the mean and minded assaults.
If Mr.. Hogan really wants to be
considered as an applicant for the
position of collector of internal revenue, he
has started out wrong. He has saddled q
pack upon his back that he or any other
man cannot carry. He had better at once
call halt and unload, or he will not be
heard of in the race for the position If he
suffers himself to be groomed and ridden
by the individual who appears to speak for
him, he will 60 on the track a badly used
up animal. Mr.. Hogan should not attempt
to build himself up by dragging Others
down. Capt. Willis is known and respect
ed all over this part of the state. He is re-
cognized as high-minded, honorable gen.
teman, and will continue to be SO recog.
nized, Notwithstanding Hogan's man
ot-all-work shall attack HIM
through democratic paper. Mr.. Hogan
can make no friends In that manner. II
he has the merit claimed for him-if he can
satisfy the heads of masses that he in
creased the majority of this district twelve
hundred, and can show good, clean re-
cord, he may stand show for the position
he seeks. But he will lean on broken
stick fhe expects Joe Robarts to write him
into place. Joe showed his ability as a cam
paigner among the colored people of Alex.
ander county. Hogan had better
select another mouthpiece. In this con-
ncction we may state that there are other
good, efficient and able men, other than
Willis and Hogan, who are being pressed
by friends for the position. In due time
we shall have our say in regard to them.
And in our say, we.may allude to the work
that was so successfully performed in
Southern Illinois during the late campaign.
We know the men who stood In the front OF
the battle-the men who bore the heat and
