Governor Richard Yates was in the
city several hours last night He

freight didn't get him here in time
either. rolling into the DEPOT about
an hour and a half after his Chicago
train had gone.
The governor went to the Halliday

Wood and other leaders here. and re-
NAMED until 2:t8 when he took the

The governor looks well, showing
no III effects from the hard campaign
ing which he as done for some months
aud he is cheerful and confident He
says he has about 80 per cent of the
delegates so far chosen, his oppo-
uents have about 10 per cent and the
other ten per cent are doubtful. He
expresses himself as we'll satisfied
with the prospects in Chicago, which
he said had undergone change late
ly in his favor.

A PLEA FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

purposes; and If be had but stood by
that message. In spirit and in deed,
pursuing constantly and with fair
degree of tact the objects therein set

more in his actions, have already been
given In these columns; and this sub.
ject Is now thing Of the past. But
there Is still the very important sub
iect of street improvement toward
which much may vet be done. and
The Bulletin feels constrained to
quote his excellent words on this sub
iect as given his message. towit:
n am deeply impressed with the
fact that there is crying need for an
improvement Of the streets of Cairo,
There are but few things which will
SO aid In the advancement of our in
terests as the Improvement of our
thoroughfares Considerable has al
ready been done In that direction, but
the field for work is still very broad.
II desire 10 say that | realize the
great difficulty that you will labor
under In endeavoring to extend public
improvements. Unfortunately, as the
law now Is, there arc many obstacles
placed in the way of graveling or
paving or even repairing the streets
The means Of raising revenue for
that purpose hate been greatly de
creased since the extensive street i'm
provements we're made. However, |
believe that much more can be done
than has been under the law as it now
exists, and hope the members of the
council Will aid me and also that
will receive assistance from the press
and such public spirited bodies as the
Merchtnts' League and the Board Of
Trade and the citizens generally. in
promoting strong public sentiment
in favor of street improvements.
There are many streets in this city
which should be improved by the
pubIicspirited citizens living upon
them II has already been demons
trated to what great extent such i'm
proyements add TO the value Of prop
erty adjacent thereto and the people
should awaken to the great import
ance Of substantial streets to the M
building of The city and the perma-
nent increase In the value of the prop
erty 10 the owners thereof
II would add further that the street
committee and the members of the
council generally through the city al
torney, should make careful investi
cation Of all Of the means of enforc
ing public improvements Under the
law as II now stands, No better re.
commentator for this council could
be left than that II was the council
which fostered and forwarded street
improvements.

blunders. Let a consultation be held

which all the members of the city
council shall take part with the may
or. and lei there be a discussion Of
the situation with a view to agreeing
upon ways and means for making

improvements. Let the issues and
errors of the past year be forgotten

sight let mutual concessions be made
in the interest of harmonious action

shall lead to consistent and enthusi-
astic energy in the prosecution Of all

Mining Paws.

There is much money invested in
mining as in banking, and the former
pays a much handsomer dividend.
The prejudice against mining, like
a hereditary faint, still clings TO the
ultra. conservative, the timid, and
less ambitious. Such notions and
IDEAS on mining, though well intended,
based upon the theory that some
one lost money either in mining
proper, or in mining stock specula-
ton. Millions are sunk yearly in
corn, wheat. pork, or railroad spec
ulation, but no one condemns such
anomalism, except perhaps, the
agricuIturist, or the suffering poor.
That the number OF dividend paying
mining companies is larger than that
Of all other combined industries is
fully sustained by statistics. That
mining produces quicker and greater
profits than any other industrial pur
suit is evidenced by the e~xistance o
scores Of multi millionaires who ow,
their wealth to il.

There was a sign on the furnace
