Daily Mail to Davenport.

III may not be amss 10 suggest the proprie-
ty OF seasouable action in the procurement of
facilities, so desirable to ourselves and to our
citizens resident between Davenport and this
city. With the completion of the Rock Island
road to the Mississippi, our neig hbors upon the
river will be in the enjoyment of mails, at least
two days earlier Than at present and while the
road Is building hiherward, why should we
not endeavor TO derive the additional benefit
which regular and daily mail conveyance to
Davenport, woald prove to us.
AS soon as the Rock Island road is compile
ted also, there will be greater influx of travel
lers, emgrants and sight.seers than was ever
dreamed Of before in Central Iowa, and if we
cannot speedily have the mail, let us have the
passenger conveyance at any rate, and the
sooner The better for the public and ourselves.
Where is the man with the enterprise and
capital 10 establish tins line? And while
about it, let us assure that man if found, that
he need not fear the competition Of Frink l.
Co. Introduce comfortable coaches. fine hor-
ses and the right kind of drivers. and the
worn out mud Wagons and sugar boxes, and
ailapidated teams, which that company is in
the habit of tnruslins upon us Westerners, will
be thrown into the "biackness of darkness -
where they belong.
For all coming years, the travel through
central Iowa TO The Missouri will be immense
and continually increasing. There are thou
sands and thousands at tins moment who will
enter our borders if it can be done by railway
who would never venture it under any other
circumstances, aud this class Of people is per.
haps as desirable as any other. And as we
believe our state needs but 10 be seen" to be
appreciated, we shall hail the arrival of the
first train of ears into Rock Island as the dawn
of an era inca 'culably glorious.

the Court OF st. James, we feel well assured
that he will show himself eminently qualified
for that distinguished post. He is no novice

found man better fitted for Plenipoten,iary

to the State Department because he knew him
