The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-01-10

There is some complaint among citi-
Gems doing business or living in the vicinity
Of Sixth and Eighth streets on Commercial
avenue, because of the loud profanity of
young street Arabs, especially negroes. An
instance of this occurred yesterday when
one foul-mouthed young fellow, passing on
one side of the street, yelled across the
street to another fellow, "Ssy your s. b.,
where in h did you go last night" Vile
as this is, it is but mild specimen of the
street conversation INDUCED in by large
number of bootbacks and other young
street loafers, both black and white. 1t is
an every day occurrence at the places men.
toned, and ladies and gentlemen for
squares around are absolutely compelled to
take cognizance of the filthy stream which
flows from the tilther mouths of the brain
less young vagabonds. They are shrewd
enough in most cases to look around to see
that there is no officer in sight, and when
there is, to be less profane and obscene, or
to make break for liberty. But it is like.
ly that several of the young rascals will
be made an example of soon; for Chief
Myers is on the watch for them.

aud, so far from being in want of temper
ance lecturers, should be able to furnish all
her neighbors with talented temperance
orators in plenty. This lack OF temperance
orators in temperance town Is strange
enough. Cairo is not temperance town,
but can furnish not less
than dozen temperance
takers of no mean ability. But what is
still stranger in connection with Carbon
dale, the non-license town, where there are
supposed to be no places where liquor is
sold as beverage, is that drunkenness
prevails there to an alarming extent.
almost every day." says "Citizen," in his
communication to the Observer, 1--WE see
young men on our streets IN an intoxicated
condition, and more especially is this the
case on Sundays" And this in com.
.munity where the sale Of liquor is supposed
to be entirely prohibited by lawi But
evidently the sale of intoxicants, being pro-
hibited to be openly carried on, is being
secretly carried on, to the greater moral
injury of both seller and buyer than if it
were done opely and within stringent reg
ulations proved by law; for in conclusion
the correspondent says ave intended to
ask some more questions as to where the
boys got their liquor, and if the sale of an
alcoholic beverage called hard cider, can't
be stopped. Hard is the right name for
it, but it disgraces the name of cider. When
we say alcoholic, we know whereof we
speak We will ask our other questions at
some future time with your permission"

"A negro named Harris was up in the
court of Magistrate Comings yesterday
afternoon, charged by Chief Myers with
keeping disorderly house on Fourth
street, between Washington avenue and
Walnut street. The evidence against the
accused was of avery damaging character;
showing that his house was one Of the
filthiest dens in the city, where men and
women, both colored and white, congregato
for vile purposes, The court, in summing
up, expatiated somewhat upon the extreme
disgracetulness of Harris business, which
lead him to entice men into his den in order
to get their money, snd concluded by
assessing fine Of twenty five dollars and
costs, and promising to assess a fine of fifty
dollars and costs If the prisoner came there
again under the same charge. Such vigor

OoNsTANTINoPLE, August 14.-The
strongest orders have been sent to
the Governors Of Beyruth, Damas-
Gus and Aleppe, to take exceptional
care to secure public order and pre-
vent any outbreak by the natives.
A correspondent writing from Bey.
reuth says the events are greatly inau-
encing the Syria Mussulman situation
aud that such a triaing incident would
suffice to set the whole province
ablaze.
MusSulman jurists, whom the Sui
tan frequently consults, explain that
Arabl Pasha, in so far as he disobeyed
the Caliph, is rebel and may be un-
tremendously treated IS such; but in
so far as he has been defender of the
Mohammedan country against the
aggressive designs of the Christians.
he has merely fulfilled the duties of
good Mussulman, and consequently
the Caliph cannot make common
cause with England. The Sultan may
punish Arab Pasha if some act of
rebellion is proved against him, but
he must not associate himself with
those who wish to crush Arab Pasha
as defender Of Islam. A CORE.
spondent says this will greatly in-
huence Turkish military action.

YELLOW JACK.
How the Dread Agency OfDeath
Reached the Lower Rio
Grande.
San Antonio Express.

Mr.. John Il. Mix, post trader at
Fort Brown, located about a mile
from the yellow fever stricken city
of Brownsville, is here on bis way to
Galveston. In a conversation with
an Express representative, Mr.. Mix
stated that the fever reached Matamo-
ras from Tampico By land, or from
Tuxpan or Bagdad by water. Tam
pico is two hundred miles south of
Matamoras on the coast, and a rail-
road is now being built into the
interior from that point. Vessels
have piled constantly between that
point and Tuxpan, bringing up large
quantities of fruits. 1t is well known
that the fever has existed at Tuxpan,
and no precautions were taken to pre-
vent its spread. Nor was the place
quarantined against either by Mata-
moras or Tampico, neither by any
other Mexican town above it. Since
the fever reached Tampico many OF
the railroaders have fed, most of
them coming up by land to Browns
Vile, being Americans, with the OBJ
ject Of getting back to the United
States. Some also came by water.
Until the arrival OF Health Officer
Swearingen at Brownsville, there was
no fixed belief that the fever was
yellow jack, and hence it seems, from
what Mr.. Mix says, that there was no
restraint placed on travel from lower
coast towns until the fever had seized
a firm hold at Matamoras. The dis.
tance from Brownsville to Bagdad is
only thirty miles, and it is now known
that the fever existed there sometime
before it was declared to exist at Mat
amorss.

The National Board of Health dies
hard. tits still for the old flag and
an appropriation. There is to be a
meeting of the remains of that emf
nently ornamental body at Washing
ton, to. day, to memorialize the Presi
dent. They desire to be continued
and entrusted with the handling Of the
special epidemic fund. This extraor-
dinary institution set itself up as
something superior to and outside Of
the government. There are some good
men on the board, we refer particularly
to those in the South, who have some
knowledge of epidemics and the situa
tion. Secretary Folger no longer re
cognizes the board. Its functions are
to be discharged by the Marine Ser.
vice. Surgeon General Hamilton, Of
the Marine Hospital Service, has
acted promptly. He has already in
structed his subordinates throughout
the Service to be on the lookout and
keep him well Informed. He proposes
to cooperate with the State authori-
ties, instead of running over and dis.
regarding them, as did the pompout
National Board of Health. He does
not think that yellow fever will
make much headway this year,
but his policy is to employ
all possible preventive measures
There will be concurrent exercise Of
National and State authority, and
thus will be secured hearty co opera
ton and good feeling. 1t is not likely
that President Arthur or Attorney
General Brewster will revoks Secretary
Folger's order. The marine ser.
vice is an old and well established in
stitution. 1t has ample machinery
and facilities for carrying on inspec.
tions, enforcing quarantine when
necessary and making all needful
regulations, aud it was clearly the in.
tention, as it should have been, oi
Congress to let the National Board Of
Health cease as an unnecessary piece oi
machinery and transfer its powers to
an older and better constituted organ
ization. This in no way interferei
with State or city quarantiues.

After all, put it how you will, you

Congressional Printing.


Congress has adjourned, but, accord
ing to dispatches from Washington,
the government printing Office is still
putting in type and in due time will
publish hundreds of speeches Of am
bilious Congressman which we're never
delivered. They will all 20 into the
Congressional Record and they will be
sent to the constituents of their au-
thors as specimens of their eloquence
and oratOry. The whole thing is a
fraud, a swindle aud an outrage on the
taxpayers who have to foot the bills.
The Congressional Record as it stands
now is a Congressional lie. 1t is a
record, not of what members said, but
of what they would have their consti-
tueuts believe they said. Why do
they impose on the people in this

The Supreme Court of the United

Gaines, Comptroller. that the Mobile
q Ohio is exempt from taxation until
April, 1885.
This road had a provision in its
charter that the exemption should
exist until dividend of z per cent
should be declared, which would
probably have given a perpetual ex-
emption. 1t is understood that this
decision overthrows the possibility Of
perpetual exemption.
