oAIRos CHIEF OF POLICE.

The reappointment of M. S. Egan as
chief of police OF Cairo by Mayor Par
sons, and his confirmation by the city
council. is. in many respects. the most
important event in its bearing upon
the future of the city of any that

Whether this act by the city author
Ties portends evil to the city, or
whether 1t may be taken as promise
OF good, depends entirely upon the I'm.
