The German vote seems to poster some
of our Republican leaders. We can see no
reason for questioning it in the coming
election. 1t will always be found on the
side of personal liberty and private proper
ty when these rights are Jeopardized.
Unfortunately, our German. American Re

take will not be made IN Illinois.
Josie Reynolds, the young woman who
took an overdose of morphine several days

by tomorrow. Her case should be warn
ing to druggists not to sell poison in bulk
to persons without physicians prescrip-

General Pavey, our new internal reve.
nue. collector, has very interesting family
living in Mt. Vernon. He is somewhat un-
decided whether he will bring them here
and make Cairo his permanent home, or
whether he will leave them there and live
the life OF Bohemian, travelling back and
forth between his head-quarters'here and his
home. 1t is to be hoped that his friends
here will inducehim to conclude to do the
former.

Street Commissioner Robert Baird
and a force of laborers put in some very
effective work on Sycamore street, above
Twentieth, which will be hailed
with pleasure by the farmers
coming into the city from
the counties above. The street is contigu-
Gus to the new county road and during
rainy weather all teams coming to or going
from the city by way of the new road have
in the past found it difficult to come into
the city. The street has been ditched on
either side and rounded off at the top, so
that proper drainage is secured. The work
is not quite finished as other work of
greater Importance demanded Mr.. Baird 5
attention. But it will be before long.

Republican philanthropists who got the ref

should have farms and work and bread and
good pay. The negroes have had nothing
of the kind. They are dying Of starvation,
