Of the city at the beginning Of the dog
season. which usually did not
last longer than a couple
of months, and bringing them back again
when the much-abused dog catcher" with
his wire moose had vanished from the
streets and allies, are becoming impatient
at the persistency shown by Marshal Myers
in the pursuit of tagless dogs. They were
in high glee when the marshal first began
the work of determination among the
CANNES Of the city, and winked at one an
other and smiled triumphantly whenever
they thought of how beautifully they had
hoodwinked the dog-catchers and cheated
the city, by allowing their pets to spend the
warm and, to them, dangerous days of the
year, at some summer resort It was hard
to part with the swapping, barking, howl
ing, biting and foaming broode, of course,
but then it wouldn't be for long; only a
month or two, and then the loved ones
would be again at home. But the marshal
has determined to spoil this little game.
The "dog season" will last nearly all the
year round In reply to a question
asked him few days ago by the owner of
dogs, all of them high toned dogs, spend
ing the dog days "at the springs" as to
when 1t would be healthy for the absentees
to return to their city homes, the marshal
replied, about the LIST of next January; but
added, that it would be safe only for a
month; that he would again commence
the warfare against dead-head
dogs on the first of February.
and continue it until January again rolls
around if he continues in position to do
80. Thus it will be seen that owners of
dogs must choose between paying their
dogs taxes, maintain them Eat the springs,
or-allow them to become a part of the
elemental wealth of the world through the
fundamentally of powder and ball.
| of the demise of the Cairo News, the
Free. Press, of Carbonate, published by j.
H.Barton, rejecting to some extent THE Bull
LETIN's view as previously expressed, says:
"Tbe News, in its dying grasps, rails at the
Cairo public, especially at the Cairo Re-
publicans, because it was not well sup
ported 1t claims that Cairo, and especi-
ally the Republicans of Cairo, are dis
graced And Why's Because the spark of
life which appeared IN the News at Its
borning was not famed into flame. We
do not 80 regard it, The time is past for
paying bonuses to newspapers. A newspa-
per man must put his wares into the market
upon the same terms as any other trades
man. If his work is good and cheap, the
public will buy Ii not, then not 80. Mr..
Joy clipped three or four columns of stale
news from his exchanges, wrote up one or
two more, set it up in long primer type,
and called it Newspaper. 1t was not,
in any sense of the word. The
public demand skilled brain labor,
skilled mechanical labor, push, industry
and independence in the conduct Of news
paper. Mr.. Joy employed none of these.
The public demand the worthy of their
money every time. Mr. Joy did not give
it Or anything like it. A newspaper (un-
less il is a most powerful one) cannot lead,
but it can reflect the necessities of the
people. AS political machine, it can
greatly assist in uniting party, can con-
centrate the labors of the rank and file, and
promote harmony inside the party tents.
The News attempted nothing of this. 1t
set itself up as political god, and invited
republicans to do it homage and bring Of
terings of gold and silver. And the queer
part of the story is that even yet, Mr.. JOY
has not discovered that his News was
burlesque. He seems to think that he real
ly published newspaper, and that the
public were mean and niggardly because
they paid no attention to his fraudulent
claims TO consideration"
