present administration the neglect of the gov
eminent of Utah is not among them. For
the first time in the history of the territory
the United States government is respected
and obeyed. The minions of the prophet are
no longer permitted to murder the Gentiles
with impunity, and even the assassins of ten
years ago are brought to justice. The pacif-
cation of the indians and the subsection Of the
Mormons are two jewels in Grants lepub-
lican crown, the purity of which nobody can

The ,RoCKLAND ELECTION.-fhs Rock
land Free Press, in speaking of the election
in that city on Monday, says: ts 'eF
1t is in no sense Democratic victory, for
it is not by Democratic strength that Mr.
Bryant becomes Moyor. That it cannot be a
censure of the Republican ADMINISTRATION oil
affairs is sufficiently proved by the return Of
Republican cOuncilmen from SIX of the seven
warus.- Tire CRY Council is-- nAe-e ~ptrvusly
Republican than last Year. 1t is very clear
that Republicans and not Democrats ale re.
spons'ble for the election Of this, the first
Democratic MAYOR since 1856, period Of
| fifteen years. We do not question their mo
tives, but we regret that it they did not want
Mr. e. r. Spear tor Mayor they should not
have attended the caucus, and so expressed
themselves. Mr.. Spear received large ma
joriiy of the votes cast in caucus, and when
the nomination was declared BIZ declined
still clear majority insisted upon his accept
auce, which he finally signi6ed. 1t is hardly
falrtto place man n the front of the battle
and there desert him to be slaughtered. This
is the fate melted out to our Candidate. He
has fp!len IN the house Of his friends.

PRESERVE YOUR LEATHEE.-Every person
has learned that leather properly treated to
genuine leather preservatives, oils and
backing, will last longer, wear better, and
be of greater service, whether it be in har-
ness, a saddle, buggy top, strap, or in
boots and shoes, than that not cared for at
oil ; especially is it true, that it ia by far the
cheapest to always use the best oil and
backing A few cents saved on the price
of pint of oil or box of backing, may
cause the loss of as many if not more dollars.
This lie trueism demonstrated by the expe.
rience OF our best harness makers, as we'll
as by any farmer who has had to pay high
prices for harness, or any one who has ex-
perimented on Q pair of "SwAnsons best
calf-$l4 per pair" Knowing these things
we do the trade and every one of our read
era favor when we call attention TO she
advertisement in another column of Frank
Millers prepared Harness Oil, and cele
brated Backing" Give il fair trial. Call
for it at your dealers. Take no other-save
your boots, preserve your buggy tops and
straps and be happy.

IMPRovEMESrs.-The results of an hours
this morning, upon the subject
of improvements in the lower part OF the
city, develop the fact that the people in that
vicinity are wide awake, and putting forth
all their energies to build up that portion
of the town and locate a permanent, thriving
business there, which will be an honor alike
to Rock Island and themselves, as we'll as
work to their personal interest and advan-
tage.
Starting down Orleans street from the
Court House we came to a fine two story
brick building, just below Eggleston's Row,
upon the same side Of the street, which Is
nearly completed. 1t is being built by VAL
entine 0hlweiler, and is intended for @,
saloon upon the ground floor, and residence
above. Upon the lot adjoining, through
the kindness of Jacob Ohlweiler and MIR.
Young in obtaining subscriptions for the
purpose, pretty and comfortable dwelling
house has been erected for Mr.. Kittig, who
was burned out some weeks ago. Con-
tinuiug our walk down the same street two
blocks farther we find new two story build
ing Just erected by Mr.. Cook, to be used
as q residence and merchant tAilor's estab
lshment.
Wien we have reached the corner OF
Orleans and Ontario street we see upon that
spot a large, double, two story building
nearly ready for use, which has been put UP
BY Mr.. David Cramer. II has sccommods
sions for two good sized stores below
and has two teneuents above wei
fitted up for the use of two families. Upor
Rock River street, 10 the same block with
the magnificent school building of the FRS
Ward, Mr.. John Davis has built himself q
fine residence, two stories in hight, and
upon the next lot Mr.. Wagner has put uE
pretty and commodious residence.
The Rock Island Glass Company have
recently completed large warehouse, lOt
y40 feet, for storing glass, fronting upon
Illinois street But their greatest improve
ment relative to their works is now bein!
made. Heretofore they have been using
10 pot furnace, which was not all that coul,
be desired, as sparks from the burning Goa
were liable to lily into the pots, thus causing
imperfections 10 the glass. Now they ar
putting in al pot blow furnace, which i
capable of making more glass, and, at tn
same time is so constructed as to preclude
all possibility of danger to the glass, from
the coal, besides this new furnace require
two less men to work it than the old, ant
makes saving of nearly $500 a month il
the amount of coal used.
Several buildings have been pus up snC
others are in process of completion that GU
limited time would not allow Us to visit.
We saw enough in our short tour t
assure US that this portion of our city is Gu
and coming" and that such improvement
are in process that the place will soon b
almost unacceptable to the eye of
visitor.
