do not favor reopening on Sunday
and the bent public sentiment in the
community is strongly against it. Sun
day closing is one feature of that sys
tem of "regulation" for which conser
vative sentiment in Cairo stands
fitrong'y and saloon men probably will
admit that, had the propositpm lata

regulation with a Arm hand instead
of exterminate n the vote against

greater. The election demonstrated.
what has been demonstrated nianv
times, that the people of Cairo are lot
easily taken 'iff their feet they ar?
not easily carried away by waves of
impractical emotionalism. And saloon
men will do well to show their appre
ciation of the people's decision to give
them "a chance for their white alley.
They will have to admit that there was
much cause for complaint asanst them
and they owe it t themselves as well
as to the people who stood by them in
the recent contest, to conduct their
business so that there may be little or
no reason for complaint.

have drawn the conclusion in the negative. There are many women

That Cairo will have to do some
hustling to make good the population
figure set for her by the late city dec
tion is the c pinion of many. Accord

about 23.000 people inhsbiiing the
thirteen hundred seres enclosed by our
levees. Two years ago a school ceo
eus carefully taken by Superintendent
Clendenen, showed that we had nearly

hundred additional in Future City, our
northern suburb. A great deal may
be drne in two years in the way of
boosting a city's population also on

his first public positions was that

From the editorials in Mr. Hearst
American on political corruption, h
mkes it plain to the miner leaders of
the Independence Icasue' that they
must not exiect m.ich hoodie this
year. It may be anticipated that Mr.
Hearst will not himself be a candidate
for he always opens his barrel when
h" heads a ticket. This was jar-""-(icularly
evident In these parts di i
ing his presidential rampaien three
years ago when Rev. Col. Sam

hns ceased to i.it. The revolution lnieaded
them, banislied them, tore in pieces their
parchments and letters patent, destroyed
and burned tin ir castles, appropriated their
estates nnd thoroughly abolished them.
The emirrants who returned a quarter
of a century after the deluge were mere
memories gliosis, spook, apparitions: they
had lost their reality. Napo'enn sought b
re-(.:stiibli-h a nobility. lie could create
titles, hut not an aristocracy. Even Un
titles have become worthies. A ilar of
the adenturer clings to tho.' assuming ti
tles, for every one knows miit of them are usurped. That thev are to lie
found in the l'.lne I' ;ok and regiter proves nothing, for clever swindlers
assume the title off.fiin.-t fainilies, tie g nuine owners hcijig j)0 longer
able to challenge their rL'ht. In this manner thev possess themselves of
coats-iif-arms, genealogical trees and family history, entirely genuine cx
icpt that the honors do not belong to those that hear them.
The very few families who have inherited a legal title of nobility in
regular descent from father to son no longer form the first ranks of French
society. In matters of state they have nothing to say. In diplomacy and
in the army they are scarcely to he found, and in the leading professions
not at all. They have no power and then fore no influence. Tin y are
not the richest and therefore are not the most elegant. The greatest mil
lionaires do not think of cultivating them, llnthcr thev opect to he cul
tivated by them. They would smile if any should esteem lhclii honored
by becoming related in marriage with people who hear cri sis or eoats-of-nrms
upon their visiting cards or carriages. They do not regard such
things as an lienor.
