WHAT PEORIA THINKS OF Us.-The Peori
Democrat in adverting to the glass works un-
der way in Rock Island, gives an account of
how the project didn't work there, and lets
their do.no,hing capitalists down easy as
follows
Some months ago several parties came
here from La Sale to try aud make arrange
meats about the establishments Of glass
works, for the manufacture of all kinds of
glassware. They we're gentlemen of limited
means and could not compete with the heavy
establishments of Pittsburgh. They desired
to form joint stock company with CAPT
tai OF $4,000, one-third of which they pro
posed to furnish. We called attention to
the matter at the time and urged upon our
citizens to secure the location of the factor,
at this point. Ii was an element OF inonstry
and enterprise that would not only nave oeeh
aorl;.ry snccess TO its owners but of
IN nit, benefit 10 the city. The La Sale
,aptIa,,en were recommended as honest, ca.
oable and experienced persons. and had
they secured the desired capital would have
doue much Tor our city. There are few
places 10 the west that have as extensive
and varied manufactures as has Peoria, vet
this one could have been added with profit
to it's owners and credit to our city. The
capitalists to whom they applied refused, the
gentlemen returned home and sought anoth
er place in which to locate their establish
ment They found that location in the city
of Rock Island. where the additional $40,
600 was speedily raised and the factory is
soon to be erected. This is a matter TO be
regretted, but it is only 9 repetition of SINH
lar matters. Peoria is cursed BY few
capitalists who fell into fortune
and, instead of trying to build
up our city aud benefit our people, oppose
every movement in that direction. They
are wealthy and are willing our city should
always be on the retrogade instead of pro-
crossing They have no part or lot in any
improvement unless they can make some
thing out of it and not spend cent. These
men are simply clogs on the wheels of pro
gress, and instead of using their money for
the benefit of the city, and investing in i'm
provemeuts that would repay them, they
prefer to enjoy their ease, and use the influ-
ence they possess to discourage others from
building up our city. They seem willing at
times, TO have others make improvements
and build factories, but they viii never do
anything themselves. IL will be a G dsend
to Peoria, when the last one Of them is out
of the way.

BY reference to DIR. Roback's advertisement on
the third page it will be seen that the Doctor has
just introduced new article in the line Of
Stomach Bitters." These Bitters are destined
to become very popular, from the fact that they
are genuine in every sense of tie term-that is,
they derive their stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs OF which they
are composed, and hence their effect is natural.
We have had the pleasure of testing the qualih-
cations of these BItteIs, and do not hesitate to
pronounce them the zone thing needed in every

Recommendation to the New Council.

We would take occasion, in o few words,
to impress upon the City Council for the
year of grace 1870, that will soon meet to
legislate for our corporation, the proPriety
OF q certain course of action which doubtless
their good judgment has already pronounced
the only proper one, to wit: course OF
large minded iiberality to manufacturing in
terests There has lately arisen in our midst
q sslutsry faith in manufacture as the only
attribute that can make US a great city, or
even keep us alive OF our present magni
tude. This is due TO several causes, which
in detail are, al increased conception of our
resources; the decrease in the value OF gold
and bonds, which renders money boarding
an Improbable business; the coming in OF
railroads; and last, but not by any means
the least ingredient Of our new vifa"'y'
spirit of public enterprise and priae'
We have now something tangible III the
of uannfactnres in veritable stock sub
scription TO the amount OF SO, 600 for Stove
Foundry, Zinc Works, although We have not
vet begun to realize the actual advantages
from manufactures in increased population
wealth, etc By next Autumn. the buildings
for all these II be erected and by the fol-
lowing spring, these manufactures will have
increased our population by 5000 people,
Before that time large number of other
manufacturing enterprises will also be under
Roadway, for we have three million of idle
money in this vicinity, which must be
brought out and utilized. Manufactures
can be made to pay twenty-five per cent. to
the manufacturer, besides largely increasing
the city and improving trade. This fact will
stir up the money lenders aud make them
public-spirited. In view of these facts, the
people look for public-spirited Aldermen,
who will officially and unofficial.
ly encourage manufactures. Owing
to the difficulty of getting manufactures
started on paying basis, the city can aid
them substantially by RENTING taxes on
property of manufacturing companies for
three, five, or ten years This spirit of lib
erslity will have the tendency to bring out
side capital into our midst, and will at least
encourage our monied residents who are &C.
qusinted with our vast resources to put out
their funds for manufacturing purposes. We
would also recommend the Board Of Trade
to meet regularly, to renew interest
in our rapid increase and to labor shoulder
to shoulder, open our relations with the out
side world, and to advance the name OF
Rock Island. Set aside all heart burinrs
and petty chickering's, labor not for prece-
dence, but together. lnfuse hurry skurry'
into things, and work! This advice may be
supererogatory, TO our City Council, but
we give it as an opportunity 10 assure them
that it is the course expected of them By the
whole people of Rock leland.

TIE editor of the Union Is evidently
spelling for fight of some sort, or else he

his personal grievances, and in his exhib-
i,ions of spite at the growing popularity OF
the ARGUS. But as we have items OF inter
est to our readers, and of more Importance
to the city that demand a place in these
columns, he must excuse is from devoting
much space to his insignificant and maud :

Davenport Democrat for five thousand dol

was alleged he had sustained by reason of
that paper exposing q transaction whereby
he had chiseled widow lady (poor but IN
fortunately whitel out of some $500. The
affair was forgotten, until, by his bringing
suit against the Democrat, it came to the
attention of the Grand Jury, which disloysl
