Some scurrilous references are
made TO Ed Maley, proprietor of a
restaurant on lower Ohio street, In
years past Maley has conducted a
tough resort there for river men and
others, and he was potently active in
the dirty politics of the First ward,
doing his share to carry it for those
who paid him to do so: and it is a
significant fact upon which much
stress ought to be laid in this connec-
ton, that as long as Maley was the
keeper of a dive" he stood in" with
the police and Mayor Parsons eunsid
cred him his friend; it is only since
Maley has become a law-abiding citi
zen, conducting an orderly place, that
the mayor and his gang have had no
use for him.
If the Tribune can find any glory
for Cairos mayor in this state of facts
Its mental and moral vision is some
what different from that of ordinary
people, and is open to the suspicion of
being abnormally susceptible to the

The Ten Dollar Bill

Once upon time there was Ten
Dollar Bill
This bill. which an old maid had
earned with a hard weeks dressmak-
ing, was given by her--in a beauti-
ful moment, when her eyes were
misty, her voice tremulous with an
ennobling pity for the poor-to the
Dash Charity Society.
The Ten-Dollar Bills career OF
usefulness at once began.
Half of it went to pay the $500
salary Of the society's Superintend-
ent--a gentleman who arrived at the
Office every morning at 10 In a twen-
ty horsepower car. and departed in
the same car every afternoon at 1870
for his suburban home.
Quarter of 1t went to pay the sal
aries Of the pretty typewriter girls
whom the Superintendent liked to
have about him. Really very peeka-
boo girls they were, too.
A tenth OF it went to pay the heavy

could prove, without possibility Of
failure, that every destitute person
you brought before him was an inn

Another tenth of it went to buy the
Superintendent nice, soft leather
couch for his private office-a very
handy thing, you know, for plump,
elderly gentlemen who will go in for
rather heavy midday luncheons.
A fiftieth of it went to pay the
car fares of the society's investiga-
tor OF new cases-a very suspicious
lady, almost as infallible as Sloothe-
sluthe in proving the poor to be
frauds.
The balance was distributed among
the destitute of the city in the form
of tracts

MAYOR PORSoN'S DEFENSE.

Mayor Parsons Is spending some
hundreds of dollars to have himself
exploited in connection with the late
city election. The mayor believes in
advertising: he has shown this on
numerous oeca ions and he is right;
but ii is apparent from the election
story which he has had prepared and
distributed in the city. and which,
doubtless, he win have reproduced
and distributed elsewhere in this con.
gressional district, that he has one
very important point to learn, which
any successful Blu mess advertiser
could have told him about had he
felt sufficient interest in that part OF
the business-he has yet to learn, 1t
seems that TRUTH is very impor-
tant factor in any advertising scheme,
irait Is to prove effective.
The bushes man who would make
advertising pay must be honest, not
only in the story he tells OF past per
Torrance, but in the promises he
makes he must be able to SHOW
the goods The general reading pub
lic are not SO easily gulled these
day, as once they were, either by
rogues in business or by rogues in
politics; and while falsehood in bus.

may not be compared to the profound
contempt ore must feel when be
finds II ltFking upon the tongue Of
him, who by vain self praise. seeks
70 enhance his value in the eyes of
those with whom he mingles"
The mayor has had very little rea-
son to complain that Cairo papers
would not give him credit for any
good he did for the city. He has had
no reason at all to complain on this
score SO far as The lBnlletin is con
cerned. He has had every right to
expect fair treatment from the
papers, as a man, as citizen, and as
m official; he has always received
fair treatment, even generous treat
ment from The Bulletin which has
supported him ardently and conscient.
iOusly as far al it could do so con
sistently with what it conceived to be
Its duty to the public; II supported
him even when it felt that he had be-
trayed the people in the conduct OF
one Of the most important branches OF
the public service, feeling that It
was choosing the lesser of two evils:
but the mayors overweening conf.
dence in money to buy all things
seem to have led him to think that,
by buying little stock in this paper
he could demand Its support always
and in all things, debating it's at
terances or its silence to serve his
vanity or his ambition In this he
has been mi taken: The Bulletin has
refused to lie for him; 1t has refuse I
to keep quiet when the public in
forests demanded publicity in order
that great harm to the CITY might
he averted, or that responsibility fer
il might be placed where it heonge
