Here is hint for Cairo business men
The Philadelphia Times asserts there is not
merchant in Philadelphia with profita-
BILE and growing trade, who does not pay
fully twice or thrice the price of his rent in
advertising, and there is not single fail
ure in business where it was legitimately
conducted with sufficient capital and liber-
ally advertised to the world through news
paper columns.
The two negro women who engaged in
public exhibition of their proves as
"sluggers," on Commercial avenue Monday
evening, marched voluntarily up to Magis-
trate Coming's office yesterday and paid
each IS and costs to appease the law they
had outraged. Their victim also consulted
limb of the law about bringing action
against them under the state law, for assault
with intent to do bodily injury or to kill.
1t is said by those who witnessed the affair
that the victim was the aggressor and that
the drubbing she got was severe, though
to great extent just, punishment for her
foul-mouthed abuse of her chastizers.
The circulars sent ont by Prof. Forbes,
the state etomologist, descriptive of the
new bug or worm that is injuring the
wheat, has been ridiculed by many wheat
buyers in this state who claim to believe
the bug an imaginary one, reported to telp
bull the wheat market for spectators.
These non-believers in Prof Forbes warn
ings call the insect described by him the
"Illinois Bull Bng.'" The editor of the
Jersey County Democrat has seen one of
these bugs and describes it as "one-tourth
the size of grain of wheat, of pure
white color, that does lie work near the root
under the leaf, cutting into the stalk"
which dries it and turning it brown.
In order to prove that the Democrats
of the lower house of the Illinois legisla-
ture are nearly all in favor of high license
by local laws, the Springfield Register pub
fishes a list of the names of the Demo-
cratic representatives and gives the opinion
of each on the subject of high license as ex'
pressed to reporter of the paper. Out of
the seventy-four Democrats, not more than
eleven would vote for low license at a
municipal election, while seven would vote
for graded license and ffty-one for high
license. Mr.. Linegar, being interviewed,
said "When in the city council I voted
against reducing the license from $3.50. |
am in favor of reasonably high license"
Evidently in fit of honest disgust at
tie bold neglect Of the public business and
the utter disregard of the just complaints
Of the people because Of the shameless
waste of their money, of which the Repub-
lican majority at Springfield has, been
guilty for some months, the Springfield
Journal editor gives vent to the following,
which is in direct contrast to former arti-
icles in which he charged all these sins
against the Democratic minority: "a res
olution for final adjournment of the legis-
lature on June 1S, was adopted by the
house yesterday. 1t will probably remain
