and grin, of the fate Of those who save their
finland never pay the printer.
From an item under the head of "Real
Estate Changes" in this mornings BULLE.
TIN, It will be seen that large tract OF
landalong the Mississippi levee from Fifth
street to st. Mary's Park has been sold to
the Cairo Transfer Company. This COM
pany is composed of wealthy New Workers
who are all more or less interested
in the railroads running into this
city, and who have organized themselves
into this company for the purpose Of trans
ferrng cars from Missouri and Kentucky to
Cairo and at Cairo from one railroad onto
another. They will seek to obtain, or have
already obtained, the sole right to transfer
cars in similar manner as the ferryboat
company has the sole right to run a ferry,
and they will charge certain amount for
each car so transferred. 1t is probable that,
upon the strip of land they have secured,
they will erect extensive machinery to
prosecute the transfer business.
The ordinance against the discharge of
fire arms within the limits of the city is be-
ing too often violated of late in very use
less manner. A man defending himself
against dog or another assaiIant might be
considered as justified in violating the or
dinance, but the habit of hunting wild
ducks and other game within the corpora
ton ought not to be tolerated There are
several very good reasons why it
should not be tolerated. First, ii is in con-
fict with the city ordinances; second, the
weapon discharged is mostly In the hands
of boys, who are more or less careless with
it; third, citizens are not safe in the streets
or in their homes because of such careless
ness; fourth, it is extremely annoying to
everybody, and fifth, because persons pros
trated upon bed of sickness often receive
a shock from which they take dangerous
relapse. We know of two cases where
| the discharge of weapon
in close proximity to residences
in soldier persons who were just recovering
from severe attack of nervous and brain
disease gave them dangerous set back,
which not only entailed additional costs
for medical aid upon the families, but near
ly resulted in the death to the sick person.
The several cases of accidental shooting
among young men and boys which happened
but short time ago, would probably also
have been avoided had theordinanccs against
the discharge Of fire arms within the ty
beenmore vigorously enforced. An ordi-
nance under and in accordance with
the State law recently passed in the legis.
lature, prohibiting the carrying OF arms by
minors and strictly enforced, would have a
wholesome effect upon the evil.
The republican papers all over the
country are now bitter in their denuncia-
tons of Brady and thisgang of"Star Route"
swindlers They have suddenly become very
virtuous and denounce the excuse made by
the thieves, that they used the money to
carry Indiana for the honest old God and
morality party, as not at all justification for
the robbery. Now that the election is
over and an accident has discovered the
rottenness of the mail service Of the coun.
try republicans can see no great hecessi
ty for whitewashing the guilty parties and
feign horror Of the vile scounderels that
they have been nursing in their leprous
bosom for these many years, that would
almost cause the fend of darkness him
self to believe that it was real and that he
was about to loose his firm hold upon the
party. Had this exposition been made
just before the last election the repub
liCan press all over the land would
have denounced it as democratic trick
and the party bosses would have pitched
the scoundlel Brady, black with the filth
Of his dishonesty, head foremost into the
kettle Of republican investigation and
brought him forth beaming upon US in the
spotless purity of noble manhood. But,
alas for Brady! this is after an election.
The Republican party's lease Of power has
yet several years to run and it
can afford to sacrifice him now.
But can the party really be 50 cruelty
honest now as topunish, as he deserves, the
man who did SO much tor its success
Will it send Brady and his pals to the
felon's cell and surrender Indiana, the
fruit Of his felony, by which it swung itself
into power, to the democratic party, to
which it rightfully belongs? Will 1t do
this! Would anything less than this sat
isfy unbending justice? The BULLETIN
docs not believe that the party will do
