how the Indifference of the sheriff to
his duties as a peace officer. and
consequent corruption among HIS I'M
derlings, Gssulted in the defeat o.
justice in the circuit court and IN
turning criminals loose upon the
community creating conditions
which stirred up the mob spirit.
The issue presented to the people
of Cairo and Alexander county in
next Tuesdays election is whether or
not they shall have a man in the
sherif's Office who win command the
respect of criminals and who win
compel them to respect the law, M

SAME CAUSE, SAME EFFECT,

Attention is directed this morning
to an item in The Bulletins historical
editors notes under the mead Of
Cairo in 1883" It is copied from
The Bulletin of that year, being an
excerpt from an editorial complain,
ing of the miscarriage of justice in
the circuit court in this county. Only
two out of thirteen criminals were
convicted; and this had been but a
repetition of the results at previous
terms. The cause of this was stated
to be corruption in the sheriffs
office, etc, etc, where scheming
deputies tempered with witnesses and
Jurors and rendered the efforts Of the
prosecuting attorney futile.
Several other facts may be stated
to give the item greater effect in its
bearing upon conditions Of when
1.-THE Bulletin has complained so much
n the last year or two. The present
editor Of The Bulletin was the editor
lof this paper in 1888, and 1t will be
i observed that his criticisms then
] were about the same as those uttered
in this paper during the last year or
two on the same state of facts. But
the states attorney of that time was

MUNICIPAL DANCE HALLS.

Milwaukee, as municipality, is az
ranging to give a public dance. Thu
peopIa will be encouraged to attend
up to the capacity OF the hall, an adj
mission fee Of cents will be charged
and the police will keep out unde-
sirables and will maintain the proper
degree of decorum among those adj
mitted
1t may be assumed that Milwa1
lees municipal dance IS self-con
scious manifestation on the part 81
the new socialistic regime Milwau
kee will perhaps be surprised to
earn that the municipal dance has
been feature Of Chicago life for
several years, and exists without any
thought of political propaganda. The
field houses of Chlcago's smaller
parks, to the number of dozen OF
more, are open freely to all sorts Of
social organizations. OF the hun
dreds of clubs which avail themselves
of such opportunity, two-thirds make
dancing their principal feature. The
halls of the fieldhouses furnish suit
able floors, lights. proper supervision
by qualified attendants, and, in mos
cases. Facilities for music. And there
is no charge for admission.
Such conditions are ideal for tn;
innocent diversion of young people

EFFECT OF NELLIs DEFEAT

In its issue of last evening the
Citizen speaks of what the outside
world win say Of Cairo If Sheriff Mel
lis is defeated. 1t says: Ordinarily
the world at large pays little atten
ton to what candidates are elected
in a little county like Alexander, but
if Fred d.. Nellis is defeated next
Tuesday, the fact will be chronieled
by every paper in the country, and
there will be editorials without end
written about this community b.
cause it turns down the sheriff who
tried to do his duty"
"The world at large is just
world as a rule; the editorial writer's
in the papers OF the large cities are
honest men, as rule. Both are
seekers after the truth, and, being
given the truth, they will Judge fairly
and intelligently
Whether or not the people of Cairo
and Alexander county will be criti.
cised unfavorably on account Of the
defeat of Sheriff Nellis, will depend
entirely upon whether or not the
world at large and the newspapers
of the large cities, get the truth, as to
the real reasons for such defeat. The
editor of the Citizen is the local cor
respondent for several Of the papers
In the larger cities. Whether or not
these papers which he thus repre
SCENTS will contain editorial comment
on the election unafvorable to Cairo,
on account of the defeat of Mr. Mel
lis will depend wholly upon what
manner of stories they get regarding
the defeat; and it is well to bear in
mind in this connection that half the
truth may be often worse in its mis-
chieyous effects than whole false
s, hood.
If the story wired to the world a
large on next Tuesday night shall
declare that the defeat, by an ovel
whelming majority, Of 'the man VIII
resisted the mob of Feb. IL" stating
Or leaving 1t to be inferred, that h
was defeated BECAUSE he resiste
the mob, then unfavorable commer
may be reasonably expected, an
those who make 1t could not B
blamed because they based their col
illusions upon what they had been to-
as true, though it was false.
On the other hand, If the report
sent out from Cairo next Tuesds
night shall present "the truth, II
whole truth and nothing but T.
TRUTH then, whatever comments ms
appear in the city papers can not b
laud the people of Cairo and Ale
