There IS, perhaps, no disease with which our

SO D.any victims as that fell destroyer of the
human acc-consnn ption. Day after day
year after year. the in satiate onster hurries
to the cold and silent portals of the tomb fresh
added vict ms to its conquest. No walk of life
is sacred from it's blig hting influence. No age
is exempt from its death dealing shafts. The
old, the middle aged, and the young, all alike,
are food for this common enemy of mankind.
The white haired patriarch whose life of tenn
perAnce has rendered his system impervious to
the attacks other ills, and whose good deeds
prepared him for the enjoyment OF life's calm
evening, finds consumption fastening its fAngI
upon his yitals, aud tearing him from world
ever bright to minds which look omplacently
on days well spent.
Consumption, in Its confirmed and ineipien
stages, coughs, asthma, erOup, and liver com
plant, form by far the most fatal class of dii
eases known to our land. Yet even those m ay
be cured by means of the simple yet pewerfu
re medies that are scattered wherever these NAL

A Tack TO Cur Orr DscUssIoS.-
Towards the close Of the Council meeting,
Yesterday, Alderman Lloyd brought up the
subject Of the order of the Council establish
ing the ferry a. Eagle street, and discuss
ion Of the matter Was taking place between
the members, in a Conversational way,
when Aid. Sssngel suddenly moved TO sd
iouru Aid Copp seconded the motion and
the Mayor hurried up the vote and declared
il carried. The movers afterwards boss;ed
Of their sharp practice to get rid of the
question. This is hardly worthy of men
who are fit to represent the people.
The Msyor also claims that he is not
bound BY the order locating the ferry At
Eagle street, because, he says, it was not
signed BY Mayor Burord. Why then did he
give written order on the subject 10 the
City Attorney, and verbal one TO the
Wharf Master? But this claim Of the
Mayors is an unworthy Subteriuge. lie
knows that the order vss signed, in the
same way that hundreds OF other orders are
signed, which he enforces, viz the Mayor
signs the record, and the next meeting ap.
proves IT, The order Cas signed and Is
binding upon him, and upon all tie Ild,r
men.
It is unfortunate for Rock Island that We
have a Mayor and few Aldermen who have
so low an estimate of the character and dig
nifty Of their Offices. L, is certainly beyond
our comprehension how any honorable man
can hold the position Of Mayor or Alderman
aud quietly submit to have his authority
doubted aud snubbed every day. There il
only one honorable course for the Council tC
pursue, viz; enforce its orders or repes
them. And tho honorable intentions Of am
man are to be doubted when he says be wAnt'
the court TO declare which charter governt
and yet will take no steps to bring the mat
ter before the court, We commended the
Mayor for voting against the proposed ordi
nance because he was pledged that wRy
before election. But since be has denied tina
pledge there can be no excuse for his vote
Tor If no would not enforce the existing
order, and was homes, when he said b.
wanted the court to decide the matter, ther
he has no excuse for defeating the ordinance
ls there not one houarobls man, anon
the four who voted against that ordinance
who will move to reconsider it and psss it
II that was done the question could then b
fairly tried.
