PREPARE FOR ENTERPRiSE.-ln ne good
citizens of Rock Island, having been deliv-
cred from the hands of the Phillistines, may
now prepare for strange'things, and miracles
most astonishing. The horse cars will not
commence making regular trips to Moline
until week after next, owing to the difficulty
of deciding between the relative claims of
many applicants, all DESTROYS of a conductors
"posish," and an opportunity of jinging
nickle, and confscating worn out shin plas-
tiers. To lead his opponents in this matter,
it is essential that the fortunate candidate
should be an Irish Yankee, q strong Fenian,
and while being confirmed catholic, he
must be able to lead methodist prayer
meeting, organize good templar's lodge,
or decimate a key of Huber's beer, at three
been filed Trains will leave for Peoria &C
cording to the published time. A small
matter of some $4,000 will be raised in a
few days, from among the friends ofprogress,
or if these prefer to hold their cash in reserve
for final sweep at the stock, when shares
are at Fifty per cent. discount, the necessary
amount will be levied from the enthusiastic
people, who don't mind trihlng tax now
and then, having become quite used to that
sort of thing within the last five years. The
project of constructing line from here to
Alaska, oia Moline and St. Paul. Is under
consideration. Such move would have a
most perceptible influence on the whale oil
market, aud would have marked effect in
developing our coal interests, and breaking
up monopolies, as no mines have, as yet,
been opened north of Canada, and the pres
ent cold weather there is creating quite q
demand for fuel We are to have sixteen
distilleries, erected on lands given away by
the city, and paid for by the people. If
any man refuses to sell for this purpose,
when respectfully requested to do so, he is
to be ostracised, disfraachised, and relieved
of the coveted property, BY force. Saw mills
are to be in abundance, and Sylvan Water
to be metamorphosed into q log-boom. Gil
gantie blocks are to rise on every street, and
our Mayors brick yard to be in constant op-
Grafton, with double force of hands on
double duty. Gangs of hands are to be en-
ployed on the public highways, whether any
money has been appropriated for paying them
or not. Every wheel of our municipal machine
is to be set in rapid motion, whether it keeps
upon its pivot, or not Our city is to be run
in regular old radical style, with plenty of
progress, glory, and taxes, and when it gets
SO involved that the interest of its debt is
bigger than the principal should be, and
black Reputation stares it in the face, as is
the case with Davenport and other adjoining
radical places, we presume the "Annointed"
will be kicked from their nests, and affairs
turned over to democratic management, to
repair damages and settle up the bills
