CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS OF ROCK
ISLAND

The manufacture of mems clothing, for
public salessi is becoming quite speciality in

of one hundred persons of both sexes, and
creating quite an avenue for the circulation
of capital. Formerly, our clothing dealers
purchased their stocks entirely ready made,

wholly manufacturing them in this city.
They claim that they can save money by SO
doing, and in addition, give their customers
articles a great deal better made than factory
goods generally are. In accordance with
the plan we have pursued for several weeks
past, intended to notice and encourage our
manufacturing interests, and benefit our
city at large, we have obtained some facts in
regard to this matter, which may prove OF
some interest to the public.
The FIRST clothiers of our city who ever at.
tempted to manufacture to much extent,
were Block 4 Newburger, now carrying on
three separate establishments on Illinois
street. Some seventeen ago, A. Block, OF
this frm, commenced business in the cloth
ing line IN. very small way, on Illinois
street, uear the fine building now occupied
by their dry goods store. In a short time
afterwards, he formed co-partnership with
B. Lowenthal, now 0f Chicago, by which
means the business was considerably in.
creased. This arrangement also resulted in
the purchase of the building mentioned, to
which one story and many required improve.

changes in the FIRM, until it consisted of its
present members, who are now carrying ON.

A WAR OF RACES. .
RADICALS BECOMING ALARMED
The Danger Admitted
The Chicago Tribune Speaks osi.


The most ousspoken and extraordinary
confession with reference to the impolicy Of
radicalism in its course toward the south
and the magnitude and danger of the power
which its party has awakened in the donin'
ant Negro majority of the south, is found in
the Chicago Tribune. Under the head of a
"War Of Races" it gives utterance to the
following wall of apprehension:
what we now have 70 fear is not war
in which the sword and cannon will be in.
voked, nor general and miscellaneous
throat cutting, in which blacks and whites
Will alike take part and alike suffer. The
weapons at the command of the triumphant
party are. while not less potent, more refined
than the implements Of blood. They have
the control, in the states that We have named,
of the lsw-making power, and il isto be
feared, we think, that, under the lead of bad
men of our own color, they may be tempted,
