Our City officials.
Friend SANDERS

During The spring W hen
the feelings Of our citizens were daily out
ragged BY the negligence OF our city officers

which cur rumsellers violated every law,
human and divine, the friends OF Temper
ance stood forth aud pledged themselves Il

the result Of the election showed the feel
ings OF cur citizens on the subject. Every
good citizen rejoicel tina, good Temperance
officers were elected and expected mmedi-
ate action, IN, no action was had, no move
ment towards prosecution. When the
writer and others interested IN these n at
tiers called upon the leaders Of the Temper
ance movement 70 ascertain the reason, the
reply was, wait until after court sits and II
our new Judge sustains the judgments OF
the Justices cour, then We viii Stay them.
This satisfied US, court met and on every
side We were rejoicing at the decisions Of
the Judge sustaining the Justices decisions,
Again the friends of law and order are put
off with the reply, they have appealed to
the Supreme Court, we must wait; and
suppose We must wait until the day Of
judgement, unless We can by the next cleo
ton find men who will do that for which
they are elected. Our old officers were
bad enough, but they did occasionally prose
cute and occasionally arrest drunken man
if they did nothing else, and to them belongs
the credit of the prosecutions already enter
ed upon.
!, is time that the portion Of our citizens
who are opposed to the rum traffic and to
Sabbath desecration were Up and doing
Let them lean no longer on such broken
reeds as have been put into office, but look
on, for men who will not only be active be-
fore the day of election but every day they
arc In office.
Our officers are not blameless in other
things. Look atthe condition Of our streets,
alleys and sidewalks. An ordinance last
year ordered that all sidewalks should be
plauked from Front to Second 81; this, like
all other ordinances, was enforced upon
those only who We're wiling, and thus we
have some plank and some dirt. From the
amount Of road tax collected in this corpora
ton every year one night reasonably ex.
pect tha, enough could be spared from the
Treasury to make our crossings good. Nh
ny Of our most prominent streets have not
had any work done upon them for two
years past and from present prospects will
not have any This year. Our citizens are
having their taxes increased every year and
yet see nothing for them. Let our council
come out like men and have the expendi-
lures Of our city published IN our papers that
all may sec where the money goas.

marks in regard to the enterprise which il
driving to early completion the Mississippi

It il significant fact that the Rock l..

all It's energies, to extend its line of Road
from Rock Island TO Iowa City, and the
road Will BE- opened for operations at the
earliest possible moment. Nor will il stop
at Iowa City. The capitalists who have
this enterprise in charge. have their eyes
fixed on the Des Moines Valley. They
know something Of It's native resources its
wealth and fertility, and its rapidly increas-
ing population and business. They know
also, the immense advantage it will give
them TO be FIRST in reaching the Valley
The trade and travel Of Fort Des MONIES
and the surrounding country being once
turned in that direction, il will be difficult
to change the current. The opening of Il
direct and speedy communication by rail
with Chicago and the Eastern scaboard,
would naturally attract all kinds of bus-
ness in that direction, which would prove
mutually profitable TO the Railroad and to
people Of the Valley The sapacitv and I'M
