The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-12-30

large bundles of the paper with them and
distributed them as they went. They drew
crowds, of course, and were doing tolera-
bly, good business when Chief Myers in
terfered and sent them further down the
river.
Yesterday Chief Myers had the car
cases of eight hogs removed from the city
limits. This made thlrty-nlne removed
this .month. Last month fifty-nine were
removed by the chiefs orders, and the
month before, sixteen-maklng total OF
one hundred and fourteen hogs that died
or were killed by railroads in the city dur
ing the last three months. BY far the most
of them died of disease. and therefore it Is
we'll for consumers OF pork to be careful.
Mr.. John Clancy is having the brick
walk in front OF his house on the corner OF
Twelfth street and Commercial avenue
made new, and he takes occasion also to
show his inclination toward high grade by
putting it several inches higher than the old
walk was, so as to bring it up to the legal
grade. He wants high grade If he can get
it, and if he can't get high grade he will
have it as high as he can get it, anyhow.
There is nothing tickle about John, nor
anything of the nature of chicken, either.
The Bloomington Bulletin suggests
that, if The Republicans nominate General
Logan for president in 1884, they should
nominate Mrs. Logan for vice-president.
IF General Logan is to head the ticket"
says the Bulletin, "whers are you going to
lodge the strength of the ticket if not in
the taili" If the suggestion be acted upon
the next champaign will furnish an illustri-
GUS example of "the tail wagging the dog"
which would make 1t one of the NEST
amusing campaigns Of the century.
= Missouri Republican: "What exsm-
plary devotion the Republican senator's at
Washington manifest in behalf Of the
union veterans in the employ OF the senate.
Their caucus twice formally resolved to re-
tain all the union veterans upon the roll,
but in despite of this solemn pledge OF
friendship, every man Of them voted to put
Q reconstructed Republican rebel in the
Office Of sergeant-at'arms, Notwithstanding
q veteran soldier of the union army was an
applicant tor the place. Imagine the re-
sounding roar of righteous Indignation
which would have rolled through the land,
if the Democratic senators had done this.
The Republican party is for the union man
first, last and all the time, unless-thsre
happens to be an ex-rebel who is willing to
vote and work for the Republican ticket"

Cairo. He will continue his business here
and, when the other is we'll under way, give
the Cairo business his uninterrupted per-
sonal attention.

manent Improvements in their way aud

rience has proven in various cities that
