Shelton & Catetts Theatre Comique
will start up again this week in much
more attractive style than it presented be-
fore. 1t has been extensively renovated in
ternalIy. New curtains have been put up,
one of which presents very realistic view
OF Eighth Street; and there have been
other changes and arrangements made in
the internal improvement of the theatre
that will be appreciated by the patrons of
the institution.
Mr.. lyle, the Ohio Levee restaurant
keeper, has sold out his restaurant to Mr..
Jno. Clancy aud will leave this week for
the East in search of new place of resi-
dence. He has not yet decided upon the
location, but will go from here to New
York straight, after which he will deter
nine upon the next step. Mr. Clancy will
continue the business in the same place
and, let US hope, with at least equal sue
cess as Mr., lyle,
In this weeks issue of The Current
(May l0), General James s. Brlsbin, we'll
known both IN army and literary circles,
presents paper entitled "The Campaign
Issue in which he shows that his issue of
the coming Presidential campaign must be
made squareIy in favor of Protection upon
one side and Free Trade upon the other.
The article is one of the strongest arguments
in favor of Protection yet brought forward.
1t will be answered next week by Buren, s.
WATSON, well-known journalist and one of
the principal Free Trade writers of Iowa.
Judge Bross' boom for Lieutenant
Governor has been give the first impetus in
Pope County where the Democrats instruct
ed the delegates to the State Convention,
for him, with Carter Har-
rlson for Governor This will bring
the Judge more prominently be-
fore the party and will very likely be fol-
lowed by similar instructions in most of
the counties in this end of the State.
Judge Bross' sterling qualities are generally
recognized and his popularity, always
much greater ameng the people of the
State at large than was supposed, is becom
Ing daily more apparent. Let the boom
let boom until it shall rival that of any o
the biggest guns in the campaign and b.
heard from Cairo to Galens and from Altor
to Danvile. There is no better man in the
State than Judge Bross for the second po-
sition on the State ticket.
1t is not entirely uncaled for to urge
upon our citizens generally the Importance
of Grading at home" The tendency to
buy from dealers outside of Cairo is entire
ly to great and does the community as a
whole considerable damage during year.
We have in our city as large and fine stocks
of everything as any one may wish to select
from and as rule prices are low Gen.
orally the only attractive thing about trad
ing with outside houses in small way is
the novelty, and the advantage is nothing
The home merchant is entitled to the pref
ence because he aids the city-he pays tax
es, he contributes to the schools, the church,
es, to charity, and to all sorts of enterprises.
His contributions are controlled by his pat
ronage, and it is the duty of the people to
patroIize the home men. The outsider
does nothing in aid of your home interest
he does not pay one cent of county or
city taxes, and is not entitled to one cent of
our patronage. Let our home merchants
be encouraged to the very greatest extent.
Do not go to St. Louis with your bill of
wants and your money to pay tor them,
and to the Cairo business man with your
subscription papers, your tickets for church
suppers, charity balls and things, and for
your taxes. 1t is not fair, and no one who
would do all he can for the common good
will be guilty of such unjust discrimination
The Mayors recommendation concern
ing st. Mary's Park ought to receive the
serious attention of the City Council and be
acted upon as soon as possible. The con-
structlon of pavilion in or near the Park
so that people who go there may find shell
ter from rain or sun and have comfortable
seats, us of the greatest Importance if the
place is ever to have any attraction for the
public on occasions of celebrations given
there. But for the fact that we have no
accommodation OF the kind proposed by
