This "morning Tnn Bum.etix an
nounces MrvWm. McIIale as a candidate
for Alderman from the First ward. Mr.
McUale is one of our oldest citizens and
has in his time taken an active part jn the
affairs of tho city. He is well potted with
regard to all matters of importance in which
the city is likely to become involved and is
capable of exercising good judgment in
their disposition. The people of the First
ward will have a capable representative. '
A number ot small-pox cases

may guard against subjecting themselves

' At the lost meeting of tho corarolttco
of twenty-five, in the council chamber, one
gentleman proposed the impeachment of
the mayor lor not eniorcing eertain city or
dinances. Some months .. .before tho, same
gontleman would have proposed tho im
peach men t of the same mayor had certain
other ordinances been enforced, aa was do
desired by some good citizen's. Human
nature Is, after all, alike Inconsisted all over

of one bull to gore another bull depends a
a groat deal upon whose property the in

The following are the crop prospects for
Alexander and Pulaski counties, according
to the regular month reports of the State
Agricultural society, to be issued in a few
days: 'Alexander Wheat is above an
ayerage in condition, and on high lands is
making very rapid growth. Considerable
wheat on bottom lands ' has been drowned
out. The prospects are promising for a
very early harvest. Bye is above an aver
ago in condition. .The area seeded to this
crop is very limited. Pulaski Most of
the wheat has jointed, and there has sel
dom been a better prospect for large yield
per acre. The area is not as large as last
season. ' fruit trees aro in full bloom no
damage as yet from frost."
The question to be voted upon to-day
is not "who shall bo our aldermen for the
next two years?" but "shall tho present
council, four of the five outgoing members
of which aro candidates for re-election,
shall this council bo sustained in tho opin
ion that it would be to the city's interest to
have the new Mississippi levee strengthened,
and that It would bo to the city's interest
to have the narrow gaugu railroad company
strengthen said levee for us as it has otter
ed to do. If you believe that the council
is right in this belief, and in seeking to
enforce it, then give it your support by
voting for Messrs. Mclhle, Hinklo,
BlakS, Swoboda and Halliday, who have
all but one been tried in this cruciblu
and hsvo not been found wanting.
It you believe that it is extremely
toolish to enter into angry, protracted, ex
pensive and yery probnbly disastrous legal
war with the present Trust Property com
pany, in order to induce it to do that which
it has already manifested a willingness to
do without any coercion, then vote for men
who will not plunge tho city into such a
foolish venture, but will do what they can
t bring about the desired results without
either ill will or a useless expenditure of tho
city's funds vote for Messrs. Wm. McIIale,
Jesse Hinkle, B. F. Blake, A. Swoboda,
and T. W. Halliday. None of the other
candidates are to be trusted on this issu",
however trustworthy they may be in other
respects.
Yesterday morning the Presbytery
which had been holdings series of sessions
at Metropolis, adjourned. and about fifteen
of the delegates, including Rov. B. Y.
George, arrived hereon the steamer Gus
Fowler yesterday afternoon enroute for
their respective homes. The business
transacted by the Presbytery was of much
interest and of some importance through
out. Between thirty and forty ccntlemen,
representing all parts of southern Illinois
wero present. One of the important fea
tures of the proceedings was the appoint
ment of "commissioners'" or delegates to
the Presbyterian general assembly which
is to convene at Springfield, Ills., on the
third Thursday in May. Judge R. S.
Yocum was elected to represent this sec
tionof tho district at that assembly.
Mr. H. Blorns, who opposes
Mr. Jesse Hinklo in tho Second
ward, and Mr. B. McManus,
who opposes Mr. B. F. Blake in the Third
ward, are gentlemen of ability and uo
doubted integrity, worthy of the fullest
public confidence under all circumstances;
but they' are untried upon
the main, Issue In this election. The
voters of Cairo aro not voting for men alone,
but for a certain principle the principle
of self interest, tho principal that it Is right
that tho city council of Cairo should seek
to enforce the city's interests aeainst all
corporations at all timet.. Messrs. McIIale
Hinklo, Blake, Swoboda and Halliday bo-
lieve this and all but the first named stand
before the people' for an endorsement of
their attempt to act upon this belief in this
present council, with reference to the nar
row gauge road. Let tho peoplo endorse
the beliefs and the actions of these men by
re-electing them to tjglr positions in the
city council. ,
A largo, gathering of colored people
was hold at the court house Inst nlht, In
rosponso to a call, published in Sunday's
BrjUKTiN. Tho object of the meeting was
to reeommeoded a good colored man to
Captain J. R. Thomas for an appointment
to a position in the clonk room of the feder
al houso of representatives. The meeting
was very enthusiastic from beginniiifj'totho
end. A resolution, offered by Mr. Mcliwcn
recommending Mr. Ocurgo W. Tanner for
tho appointment, was - tho sigual for
the beginning ot a somewhat heated discus
sion between a number of prominent col
ored men, among them Messrs. Bird and
Scott, the subject of discussion being not
so much the man rccommendod as other
matters, not appropriate to the occasion, to
w'ticli reference had been made. The res
olution was finally adopted by a good ma
jority, and Mr. Tanner stands recommend
ed to Cuptain Thomas' kindly considera
tion. It is probable that Mr. Tanner, who
is a worthy young mm, ' having been for
some timo a teacher in the colored public
school hero, will be appointed, for In his
recent letter to Officer Wims, Captain
Thomas speaks very confidently of his
ability to procure an appointment.
In speaking of a rccont visit to Mound
City of Col. Hamilton and Captain Wil
liams, the Pulaski patriot Bays: "Colonel
Hamilton seemed to bo well pleased with
our people, and with tho prospect of the
business of our city, but what he really
thinks about building bis road in to Mound
Citylio one hero is able to toll, as the col
onel don't talk much." Whcreforo this
doubt and thrs reticense. First, Mound
City woula surely become the Bouihcrn
"terminus" of tho narrow gaug then, it
was to be tho objective point for a "branch,"
and is the whole scheme now to din out
and to be admitted to have bocn merely an
electioneering dodge? Alas I it doth seem
so. The whirligig of time plays sad havoc
with our fond hopes sometimes, brother
Robarts, (sometimes called "Friday") and
you may as well curb your imaginations
which, not many suns ago, soared aloft,
confident that soon the air of the City ot
the Mounds would vibrate with the thun
dering roll and shrill scream of a narrow
gauge engine of a narrow gauge company
with a narrow gauge conscience but a
broad gauijo maw. Alas I poor "Friday,"

"FREE EXCURSION."
"Ferryboat Three States will mako a trip,
free for all, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, to
'Dutch Gap Canal,' whero can be seen the
wonderful phenomena of water running up
hill at the rate of 200 feet per minute;
Sunday, April 10th, 1881." .
Such was the announcement of a hand
bill, circulated about the city last Sunday,
which induced about threo hundred citizens
to make the trip. The exenrsion party ar
rived at tho gap a littlo before fivo o'clock
when all went ashore to witness tho pheno
mena; spent about half an hour most
pleasantly, and returned home with a hearty
contempt for tho law of gravitation so far
as water was concerned.
The water waa still running with great
force, as St was also yesterday, through tho
gap in the leveo and through tho ditch con
necting tho two ponds. Through the latter
a stream, about fivo feet wide and one foot
deep, was pouring; and through tho former
the water rushed in a stream of twolvo feet
in width at the narrowest point and twenty
inches deep by actual measurement, but
not qulto so rapidly as It did Saturday, as
tho water losldo had bocn very much
lowered. A few days ago Grandmother
Argus, blinded xhy prejudice In thlt at In
nearly all other important matters, sought
to belittlo this means of ridding tho city of
thewator, by saying tlmttho gap allowed
about as much water to pass out as two of
tho smallest sewers. The fact Is that, ever

moral vision the truth is effectually ex
cluded by tho thick b!ankc. of prejudice;
wIihso ignornnce is inexcusable, and whose
efforts to deceive and pn j idice her readers
are moat despicable. 80 far from proving
a failure, the cut in the Mississippi levee
surpasses tho highest cxpectatiot.s of Its
projectors, doing more tflVctual work than
it was thought capnblo of; and instead of
bringing discredit, It brings honor upon
the gentleman who Btisgetttcd it ami upon
those who, after mature deliixrati-D, car

THEREALIS.su?:.
Whatever may be the ostensible, tho pro
claimed, purposes of the few gentlemen in
tho city, who have, within the lust few days,
sought ti lead public attention into a chan
nel long abandoned Ix'cauw of its musti
nesa who hare attempted to rprini; at this
election nwn covered questions concerning
tho dead past, which are not germ-tin to the
matters at issue iu the present election it
is koowu, and these gentlemen cannot hide
the fact, that they aro springing theso
musty questions as a cover for their real
purposes. They arc good fellows, t-tcinlly
and in every other way, but a long brood
ing over past wrongs, real and fancied,
many of them fancied, has nude them one
sided and unatniaiilo in the consideration
of municipal hffiirs. They would now
seek to accomplish by tearing of hair, .-pitting
in one another's faces, tit gret co-it
greater delay and probable failure, tluvt
which can be accomplished better, with
greater certainty and without expense to
the city, by an exercise of good judgment
and good will. Lmg-faced fellows, they
are. Very solicitious of the msr interests
of the city, they raise a great cry of what
should have been done, and how it should
have been done, twenty years ago, by met ,
whose tomb stones are all that remain to
tell of their existence; but they entirely
ignore the intercstsof the city to-day. In fact,
whilo pretending to deplore tho city's past
III treatment by railroad and other corpora
tions, they are seeking, by v.iried meaus, to
induce them to step right into tho open
maw of a ompany of foreign millionaire,
which has taken advantage of every op
portunity to swindle and impose upon the
city, and has succeeded iu tloin so at
every attempt so far but ono, namely, the
attempt to steal from,tho city perpetual pro
tection from the Mississippi river without
contributing a farthing towards the ex
pense. Ip this attempt St was foiled by
tho watchfulness of the city council, which,
as Col. Hamilton expressed It, was "not the
kind of city council they had thought it
to be; and that they bad expected to lun
right into town as is customary when a tittle
country village blocks the way."
Tho question which Is to bo decided to
day Is not, "who ownes tho levees," or "who
should collect whurfago," or "wh'i should
protect tho city from ovei flow," or "who
should have done so twenty year ago," nr
"why did tho city council of 1817 do this,''
or "why did thut gf 1871 do that," or "who
struck Billy Patterson" these questions
have nothing whatever to do with tho pres
ent election. They are either dead aud not
worthy of a moment's thought now, or
they aro of a character that nothing bIhti
of ten years' litigation ami tho expendi
ture of thou3ands of dollars Citn de
cide them. Thoy arc forelgu to
tho questions at Isnio to-dny;

candidates for tho city council iu this
election is just as ludicrous ns to be guided
