WINTER, THE FINANCIER.

Perhaps the most unsatisfactory OF
all of Mr. Winters promises to in
duee the people of Cairo to EJECT him
mayor tomorrow, is that relating n
the financial condition of the city. II
Is NEST unsatisfactory. no because II
is more evasive than the others, for
all are very much alike in that re-
-pect: hut because TIE subject is of
such overshadowing Importance 10
the people of Cairo Admitting what
'very0ne knows. thai the city is in a
lepIorahIe financial condition" he
offers hut one suggestion as a relief
from this condition. "stricter economy
In city expenditures than has pre-
vailed"
To he sure, i'm the sense that the peo.
pies money shoulI net he wasted,
Nr Winters suggestion is - be
heartily approved but to talk Of
economy in the city's pres mt eX-
penditures, as a means of pulling the
ity government out Of its financial
dilemma. is rank foolishness. The
entire city government would have
to be wiped on for one whole year
III but The revenue collector-in orr
Ter to take care of the city present
7oating debt alone
OF course. Mr.. Winter does net
mean that this should be done-but
what does he mean Wherein would

-ent-whore has the peoples money
been wantonly wasted. in any con
siderable sum? Let MS not have
iuuendo; give us a particular and dc
tailed statement in order that We may
know where money may be saved
and how much.
The city's financial condition can
he relieved, as it should be relieved,
only by a high license ordinance. That
has been agreed upon by scores Of
the biggest men in the city business
and professional men. and financiers
who have discussed the subject eX
haustively for weeks. Mayor Par.
sens has agreed with these men. has
interested himself actively in procur-
ifg reliable data from other cities, i'm
order that the preparation OF a
license ordinance may be gone az in
q business-like way: and he has prom
ised that an ordinance which will
fully meet the city's needs shall he
introduced in the city council at an
early date.

THE MACHINE. !"

Beyond all QUESTION, the strongest
argument against MI. Winter in his
candidacy for Mayor is the motive
that is behind it. His claim that he
wishes TO become mayor again be
cause he desires to put in two years
of hard work for the betterment of
Cairo and to the promotion of its ad
vancement' may be true, so far as
he is concerned, although many
doubt II he could spare very mucn
time from his own affairs to put in
any "hard work" fer the city. Be that
as il may, the fact remains that the
controlling element behind him is the
Republican party machine and the
controlling motive in that machine is
not to promote the interests OF the
city, but to promote its own interests
against all other Interests If need be,
by any means whatever iair or foul,
and through any tool that may pre-
sent itself-and the Evening Citizen
is its unreasoning and unreasonable
organ, always.
Less than year ago Mr. Parsons
ventured to be candidate for the
Republican nomination for congress.
He aspired to this honor, as any cit
izen may, without asking permission
from the possess He was beaten
ignominiously by methods VIGOROUSLY
corrupt 1t could not be said that
he was not qualified for the position
he then sought; they did not dare to
give the real reasons for opposing
self crCatituted political masters OF
the people,; they could offer only as
a plausible argument against his can.
didacy for congress, that his services
were needed at home; They declared
that he ought to be content to serve
the people of Cairo till the great inn
provement work which had been in
auguraied had been fnished-the in
terests of the 'macht1e" demanded
that Mr.. Parsons should remain may
or of Cairo ana they demanded this,
accordingly.
How is il now? There has been
no change in the situation SO far as
the interests of the city of Cairo are
concerned If those i-terests de-
manded the retention Of Mr. Parsons
as mayor less than year ago. they
demand it many times over now But
the machine" can brook NJ opposi-
ton: jealous of its power it will rot
permit any one To question It: II will
fnfsict pUnishme,t where any DISC
bedience is shown; it must curb TIA
rebelliuus spirit; il must have re-
venge-the interests of the machine
demand r5w that Mr.. Parsons shall
not be mayor of Cairo, and. resardless
of all things else, giving no thought
whatever 10 the interests of the eli
of which il pretended to be so solici
tous a few months since, it has d.
termined to defeat him at the cleo

UNIVERSAL
DICTIONARY

Containing so, 900 new words. a 9O9
Atlas OF the World and twelve other spe-
cial departments is now being distrib.
uted by the publishers. As the next
latest dictionary was published more
than nineteen years ago. this announce.
ment will be of special interest to every.
one
This dictionary Is not published by
the original publishers Of Webster s
Dictionary or by their successors. whose
latest production is nineteen wears old
and who have for years tried to monop.
ollie the dictionary business: but by
one of the largest publishing houses in
America.
Because OF its absolute newness and
many other transcendent features, this
great work is rapidly superseding the old
dictionaries and is looked upon by educa-
tors as the leading reference work.
The first edition has already had a
tremendous sale. II has the endorsement
OF educational people everywhere, and is
being readily adopted by School Boards
throughout the country for Use in the
public schools
The publishers have adopted a new
method of selling by appointing local
agents in every locality 10 introduce
and advertise the work.
There will be an opportunity for some
live energetic person to handle this work
here. II is published and distributed by
