The contest for the prizes offered by r
S. Mensmin, of Philadelphia, in Davenport
Yesterday, WAS marked by no ill feeling or
jealousy. But two comps stripped for the
race, namely Chas. Platt, of this city, and
Chas. Glass, of Davenport. Mr.. Plat tack
led the copy and pulled up 1856 ems Of
solid nonpareil in so minutes. Mr.. Glass
succeeded in setting l,488 ems in 60 min
utes,-a difference Of little over two lines
between them. The proof will be sent to
Baltimore for judgment, until which time
all competitors stand an equal chance to
secure the prize

DIRECroRY.-Our men should extend cor
dial welcome and o helping hand to Messrs.
Kirkpatrick and Tompkins, who are ''going
the rounds" with the intention of getting up
first class directory of this city. They
will endeavor to give our city and citizens
good and reliable work, and we have no fear
OF their failing in whatever they attempt
Since 1867, we have had no directory of the
city, aud an opportunity like this should not
be neglected. Mr.. Kirkpatrick is too we'll
known in Rock Island to need commenda-
tion, Mr.. Tompkins is an honest and reliable
man, and their joint efforts will undoubtedly
produce something fns.

THE CANAL.

Many of our citizens are totally unaware
OF the importance the building of the canal
at Rock river, is to thisvicinity. 1t is gen
eralIy known that work is progressing upon
a canal at Rock river, bat exactly what ben
efits are to arise from the completion Of that
canal is not known.
The opening of that canal to navigation
will we feel assured, prove that the far,see-
ing capitalists of this vicinity have over
reached themselves in allowing the project
to slip through their fingers unobstructed.
The country above, which will be opened up
by the operation of this canal, Is underlsid
with rich coal beds. Thousands of acres of the
best coal land 10 the state will be found ia that
region, and the various coal mines already
in operation there, will End another and
more profitable outlet to market. The Por-
ter banks, the Cleveland mines, and the
mines of the Bitten banner Coal Company
will ind an out let for their coal in this
canal, and will throw enough coal on to this
hni ACb W tOEC0 uOWu PLiSOS.
The opening of so many coal mines, and
the precipitation of so much coal upon the
market, will of course cause depreciation
in the prices. No argument is needed tt
show that. The only point then to be con-
sidered is the propriesorship of the canal
| of this We have our doubts. 1t is necessary
as supplemental article, that the toll fol-
passage through the canal be as low as il
consistent with fair margin for profit, aut
that the toll be fixed, immovable. We fea
that residents of this city, and Davenport
who were offered and refused the CONTROL
ing power long before it WAS disposed OF tt
It's present owners, will rue the day OF tbel1
blindness, of stupidity. The controlling
power is owned by parties residing In Chi
osgo, who are interested also in coal mines
The inference 10 be drawn by putting thu
aud that together is not so pleasing as VI
would have it We would like to see tina
controlling power in the hands of som
public spirited men who would work TO
the best interests of the people. We thinl
il proper steps were taken, this could b
accomplished.

DoN'T WANT TO VorE,-A petition signed
by five thousand ladies, headed by Mrs.
Senator Sherman, has been presented to
Congress, against extending the privilege
of voting at our elections, to females. So
far as the extension of the right of suffrage
to females is concerned. we do not know,
but as a mere question of right, they are as
much entitled to the privileges of the bal
lot boxes as the sterner sex; but if they do
not want to vote we do not know that it
would be an act of courtesy to change our
organic laws so as oextend the privilege
to them. But if the ladies wish to mix in
at the ballot boxes and vote, would it not
be very ung@lant for Congressman to turn
their backs upon their prayers.
