SNEAKING EXCUSES.

The Rock Island & Moline Union tries to
console its readers for the great radical loss
in Maine as follows
- THE democratic gains in this state are partly
accounted for on local grounds which viii appea r
more clear as the smoke of battle clears away
Chiefly, however, we attribute the result to the
return of democratic shysters. draft refugees, Jail
birds, and such other classes of the democracy
as fed across the border into Canada to escape
from the military service and the penalties of vi
olated law, at home. There is no doubt that
thousands availed themselves of the opportunity
to cross the border, from such reasons during the
The return of peace having brought safety
At home they have come back, and now manifest
gratitude for their deiverance by sustaining the
democratic party which, during the war, sustain
ed them
Such reckless and gross perversion of
truth, and such an outrageous insult to the
democracy, or to the intelligence of It's own
readers, we have not seen in any other radi-
cal newspaper.
In view of the fact that the days of radical
ism are numbered and the party rapidly GO
ing to pieces, in every state, it is silly to of
fer such excuses as the above, for their loss
es. Connecticut, California and Montana
have kicked radicalism on the head till it is
dead in their borders. Pennsylvania and
New York will do so, next month. Ohio
will come very near it. And next yea,
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland
Delaware, Kentucky, Indiana, Nebraska
California Oregon, Nevada, and Colorado
giving majority of electoral votes, will vote
FOR the democratic nominee for president
The democracy can and will carry ma
jority of the electoral votes in the Union
without the negro dynasties in the south
which should be kept out of the Union unit

The Cali fornia election has had various
effects upon the various Jacbin newspaper
concerns throughout this country. Many o.

however, singularly failed to notice the fact
that this "Lesson" is but the beginning Of
a course to which the radical party will be

Horse Tanning 4 Training.
The Most Practical System known
IN the World.
TESTIMONIAL

Rock ISLAND, August p, 1867.
The undersigned, having witnessed an Exhi-
bition of Capt. II. c. Miles system OF breaking
and training colts and handling vicious and
tricky horses, take pleasure in adding this testi-
monlai 10 the many which have been furnished
Capt. Miles elsewhere.
The theory on which his system is founded is
supported by common sense, and is practical and
affective. No one who has any occasion to ham
die horses, of whatever age or disposition, can
fail to be benefited by Thorough understanding
of Capt. Miles system.
Its chief beauty is in the fact that everything
is done by gentleness and kind treatment--no
harshness or beating-nO Rarey ropes to upgra-
vate or in lure the horse.
TIE same principle is adopted in the training
of horses on the track, and experience has shown
il to be here as in the first breaking
Of the colt.
In our opinion Capt. Miles syetem is superior
to any we have seen attempted elsewhere. There
is no humbug in it. 1t commends itself to the
common sense of all who appreciate the noble
qualities of the horse

reA-On Saturday last for the first time
the new style of dresses appeared on the
street.-the moderately short dress and
the extreme short dress. The former is
sufficiently convenient, neat, and be-
coming, although the latter has been
adopted 10y Chicago, the metropolis of
the west; but Chicago is wild on ex-
tremes, and therefore no criterion to 20
by. But short dresses, no matter wheth-
er moderately short or extremely short,
are certainly an improvement ON the
old style Of long dresses, trailing the
sidewalk, sweeping dirt and the excres-
cence of tobacco, until the sight becomes
too obnoxious to be excused for the mere
sake of keeping up with the trail dress
style. The new style is destined to take
the place Of the old, and we heartily con-
graduate the ladies that they have at
last achieved victory over the opinion
SO long predominant, that all styles were
out of place unless emanating from
Paris. IT'S true the short dress il an
idea conceived In Paris, but not of recent
origin. In these latter days it may be
truly said, the American women have
taken up style long since discarded,
and adopted it Of their own taste, with
out the influence Of . Princess to give it
popularity throughout the civilized
world. New York was the prime mover
in this grand revolution in fashion;
Chicago caught glimpse Of New York
style and hastily adopted it-fmproved it
as she supposed, by going to extremes,
thus repudiating Webster's definition of
the word "dress," and creating the idea
that short dresses meant short dresses
in the literal sense of the adjective. BE
Chicago right or wrong, show us the
woman that is not afraid to appear on
the street in . moderately short dress
one Of sufficient length to indicate a
sense Of modesty, and we are prepared
to show you lady Of refined taste, enc
who has sufficient mind and the proper
spunk to assert her own notions of dress
and practice them in public regardless
OF the prejudice there may exist to the
contrary.
