The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-04-18

perity, but, thanks to the superior intelli'
gence the masses, is usually most disas'
trously defeated.
The general, who. while on his way to
meet the enemy in fierce engagement,
would muster out one half OF his true, tried
army, and supply its place with new
recruits, would be laundering fool. Will
the voters of Cairo lay themselves liable to
this charge by retiring from the council
some of its staunch soldiers and supplying
their places with untried men when matters
ofgreat importance are pending before that
bodyi
AT the last meeting Of the committee
of twenty five, in the council chamber, one
| gentleman proposed the impeachment of
| the mayor for not enforcing certain city or.
dinances. Some months before the same
gentleman would have proposed tho i'm
parchment of the same mayor had certain
other ordinances been enforced, as was de-.
desired by some good citizens. Human
nature is, after all, alike inconsisted all over
the world. A mans opinion of the right
Of one bull to gore another bull depends q
q great deal upon whose property the in
tended victim is.
The following are the crop prospect, for
Alexander and Pulaski counties, according
to the regular month reports of the State
Agricultural society, to be issued in few
days: "Alexsnder--Whe is above an
average in condition, and on high lands is
making very rapid growth. Considerable
wheat on bottom lands has been drowned
out. The prospects are promising for
very early harvest. Rye is above an aver
age in condition. The area seeded to this
crop is very limited. Pulaski-Most of
the wheat has jointed, and there has sell
dom been better prospect for large yield
per acre. The area is not as large as last
season. Fruit trees are in full bloom-n
damage as yet from frost"
The question to be voted upon to-day
is not "who shall be our aldermen for the
next two yearsl" but "shall the present
council, four of the five outgoing members
of which are candidates for reelection
shall this council be sustained in the opiu-
ion that ii would be to the citys interest to
have the new Mississippilevee strengthened,
and that it would be to the city's interest
to have the narrow gauge railroad company
strengthen said levee for US as it has offer
ed to do If you believe that the council
is right in this belief, and in seeking to
enforce it, then give it your support by
voting for Messrs. McHale, Hinklc,
Blake, Swoboia and Halliday, who have
all but one been tried in this crucible
and have not been found wanting.
IT you believe that it is extremely
foolish to enter into angry, protracted, eI-
pensive and very probably disastrous legal
war with the present Trust Property com
pany, in order to induce it to do that which
1t has already manifested willingness to
do without any coercion, then vote for men
who will not plunge the city into such
foolish venture, but will do what they can
to bring about the desired results without
either illwill or useless expenditure ofthc
city's funds--vote for Messrs. VIM. McIIale,
jesse Hinkle, B. f. Blake, A. Swoboda,
and T. w. Halliday. None of the other
candidates are to be trusted on this issue,
however Trustworthy they may be in other
respects.
Yesterday morning the Presbytcry
which had been holding series of sessions
at Metropolis, adjourned. and about fifteen
of the delegates, including Rev. B. Y.
George, arrived here on the steamer Gus
Fowler yesterday afternoon enroute for
their respective homes. The business
transacted by the Presbytcry was of much
interest and of some importance through
out. Between thirty and forty gentlemen,
representing all parts Of southern Illinois
were present. One of the important fea-
lures of the proceedings was the appoint
ment of commissioner" or delegates to
the Presbyterian general assembly which
is to convene at Springfield. Ills, on the
third Thursday in May. Judge r. 8.
Yocum was elected to represent this sec.
ton of the district at that assembly.
MIR. II. Blooms, who opposes
Mr.. Jesse Hinkle in the Second
ward, and Mr.. B. McManus,
who opposes Mr.. b. F. Blake in the Third
ward, are gentlemen of ability and I'M
doubted integrity, worthy Of the fullest
public confidence under all circumstances;
but they are untried upon
the main issue in this election. The
