CITY ORDERS,

The Union has received its final quietus
on county finances. 1t did chirp little
once but got its ears boxed SO smartly ty
Judge Lynde that it hasn't peeped on that
subject since, but it continues to growl
about city finances. When Mayor Nurdock
was issuing orders to the amount of thou
sands of dollars it kept as quiet as kitten
and only mewed when the public teat was
drawn from its mouth. If it really wants to
know how many city orders have been is
sued by Mayor Skinner, all it has to do, is to
go and look at the books and then tell the
public all about it. Let us ask it to 20 and
get the record and compare it with it's last
pet republican administration. 1t will make
an excellent campaign document, and will
certainly be interesting. Go and examine
the records and stop your growing, come
right out with 8 stunning financial state
ment and you will rest easier, sleep better.
Try it. As q starter we will give the follow
ing:
During Murdocks administration eissued
on his own responsibility, and without, con
sulting the council as follows:
City order No. $3.50, Jan 4th 1869. Due
six months bearing ten per cent. interest
payable to P. Skinner Il Son for SCALES.
City Order No. 1881, Jsn'y 4, 1869, due
six months, bearing ten per cent interest,
payable to Weyerhauser & Denkman, for
$l7l.42.
Now, let US use the Union's own words
and see how they fit this case of Mr.. Muir
dock against which that paper did not say
one word. Here is what it says this morn
ing
Thus large and indefinite debt nj BIT accumu-
late against the city, the pay ment of which would
dcvolve on the next I'D m inistration aud require
increased tax ton to meet it. We don't believe
in the propriety of an administration thus evad-
ing the payment of its own debts and pushing
them off on its Successors. 1t Is q loose and
dangerous way of doing business which no May
or should resort TO, sxcept under the most pres
sing necessities and within proper Limitations.
Again for the enlightenment of this great
financial light of the Union'S, We will say
Mayor Skinner has not issued single order
without first consulting the Council. When
will children learn to deal with
childish subjects, aud let alone financial
subj ects that it does not understand Judge
Lynde will have to take you by the ear
again, and administer little more castiga-
ton. 1t produced very beneficial effec,
on county finances, and will doubtless prove
beneficial again.

CANDT.-We like candy, as numerous
grinders could testify. Good candy, is good.
Pure candy is better, and had we Toasted on
the pure, unadulterated sweetness, I'm
doubtedly our teeth would have yet been
sound. But we started out to remark that
Mr.. Hawthorne has opened mine of candy
on Madison street, near Illinois, where he
makes all varieties, uses none but
the finest hsvors, and warran is his make to
be free from poisonous ingredients. Haw-
thorne is "a old hand at the business he is
prepared to fill all orders for candies for
Christmas or other parties, on the shortest
possible notice. And now we've told YOU
q II about him and his undertaking, we
advise You to get your candy from him.

The passage Of the law of July 18th,
1870, in regard to dividends by corporations
leaves the time between July, 1870, and
January 1871, as untaxable. Therefore
many of our best corporations will declare
and pay their dividends in December, 1870
thereby avoiding the tax that would be due
if paid after January |, 1871. In.:he aggre
gate the amount saved to interpretations
will be large and give great satisfaction to
stock holders who are eager for early divi-
dends.

HOW THE UNION JUDGES THE CITY.
The Union in spe liking of manufactures
says:
"a Their success is thus seriously interior
ed with, and new manufactures, seeking q
location here, may we'll hesitate"
Such uuwsrranted statements as this, pub
lished by paper right here at home, for
the purpose of getting a chance to abuse
the Coal Valley Mining Co., is, to say the
east, very despicable, and calculated to do
injury to the city. 1t is a fact that all Of
our manufactures DO pay, and that new
enterprises are starting with every prospec,
of paving well. Others are looking to Rock
Island for location, than which there is no
better location In the West, and tucb
attempts to drive them away, should be
condemned by every citizen interested in
the future growth and property of the
city. While others are working so faith
fully to build up the city by inducing new
enterprises to locate here, no paper tina,
lives so exclusively by the patronage, for
besrance, and charity of citizens, should
thus work against the best interests of the
city. It's unfortunate that psrtizan hatred
should be allowed to go SO far. and We
sincerely hope those whom that paper owes
it's existence, will Use their in
fuenee is stop such publications
