The Alexander County delinquent tax
list will appear in to-morrow's issue of THE
WEEKLY BULLETIN. 1t is about one-third
lager than in fsrmer years covering nearly
four pages of the paper. Work WAS COM
menced upon in The BULLETIN job room
Thursday morning and will be finished this
morning. Besides this considerable job
work was done, among which was an
order for 10000 dray tickets from one of our
enterprising business men, G. r. Wood
ward, who expects to dol heavy shipping
business this season. The tax list would
not have been any larger than usual, but
for the so.called mandamus tax.
A council that is not clearly and pos.
itively opposed to the St. Louis and Cairo
Railroad Company In its efforts to rob the
city of valuable franchise, is q constant
menance to the safety of our
city. Elect council that is
not committed upon this subject and
you tacitly delegate to them the privilege
of surrenerding the ciiy's levee to one of the
most wretchedly managed railroad compa-
MES in the country, for considerations that
may be but nominal. We do not say that
such q council WILL do this, but it MAY;
and the question, "who shall control our
leveei" is one Of too great Importance to
the people of this city, to be carelessly sub.
mitted to the arbitration of men whose
views upon it are not known and not in.
quired into. Do not, therefore, permit any
side issue to Overshsdow this question and
cause you to vote tor men next Tuesday
without KNOWING that they will keep that
leyee of ours out Of the hands of ,those
who can give no sufficient guarantee that it
will be preserved at all hazards and against
all attacks.
