Our over-the-riyer neighbor, the Demo
erat, last evening, in an article about the
bridges and roadway between this city and
Icwa, said:
The new bridge, the Island road, and the slough
bridge have been declared open and free TO the
public, no matter whether there Is an ice embargo
passengers and teams at all hours OF the asy or
night This opening was announced yesterday oy
Coils. Flagler and Macomb.
This being in advance of our eyes we
showed the article to Col Maeomb and he
laughed. No meeting or consultation
has taken place between him and Col,
Flagler, and no announcement made
bv him What Col F. may have done he
does not know. Col Macomb informed us
that the bridge in his charge was open at
ag hours Of day and night, with no restric-
tons upon anybody or anything, except
such restrictions as are regarded necessary
for the protection of the public interests
and property-such as: no smoking; nc
fast driving; no loads of hay,
straw, or any loads so bull
ky as to interfere with the easy
| passing of other teams no kerosene, nitro
glycerine, powder, or other explosives
Otherwise, the bridge in his charge il
free to all, and no questions asked. As Il
the Sylvan Water bridge and Fort Arm
strong Avenue, he had nothing whateve
to say
We walked up to the Sylvan Wate
bridge and there learned from the guar
, that similar orders were given to them o.
! Thursday except that no crossing tca

and 6 IN he morning! Here is red tap

By any chance, be on this side at II q

been about enough of this redtape non

Col Macomb, and both issue joint ordt
which will put an end to this red-taE

Considerable excitement was created in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard recently, by a
rumor that large number of men were to
he discharged in the course of the day
No notice was given to the men in the
morning, but at two o'clock they were
mustered and officially informed that the
services of about 500 would not be re
quired after nightfall the names of those
discharged being announced. The news
fell like a thunderbolt among the mechan-
les, and the feeling was very bitter. In
the course of the afternoon it was known
that Naval Constructor F. B. Delano had
received peremptory order to discharge
the men in his department and to reduce
the expenses TO $4,000 month. In the
boat builders, block makers, painters
and plumbers departments not a single
man has been left, and only twenty joiners
four blacksmiths, and five ship carpenter,
have been retained The working force il

petition, numerously signed, has been in circu-
latiOn thi- week asking President Gable, Of the
Rockford Rock Island & st. Louis Railroad. To
continue regularly the special accommodation train
which was designed only for the convenience of the
public during the prevalence Of the horse disease
We understand he has expressed an intention of
compl wing with the request Of the petiton-Moline
Review.
At the time the foregoing was published
Mr. Cable was in New York City, and
probably had not heard of the petition.
What action he will take on it, therefore,
could not then have been known There
can be no doubt, however, that two dunn
my cars, running from Weyerhauser &
Denkman's mill to the upper part of Mo
line would pay we'll The present trains
to Moline were started with no expectation
of any profit to the road, or of even pay
ing expenses. They were put on merely
to accommodate the people but, quite I'M
expectedly, the experiment has proved a
success, and paid for neutrality-suspicious. a
little over. The expense of dummy trains
would be much less than the trains now
running, and there is little doubt that they
would pay well. As now run, there are
ten stopping places. If dummies were
run from the lower saw mill and to the
upper part of Moline, probably five more
stopping places would be added-and in
no case would people have to walk far to
reach the train. The cars, too, would be
warm in winter, and being more roomy
would be more comfortable, both summer
and winter, and freer from dust.

the worst form of Dyspepsia; my health failed to
such an extent that my Physicians pronounced me

FILTHY STREETS, AND THE REMEDY
THEREFOR. The filthy condition of some
Of our streets and allies requires that
measures be taken to remedy the matter.
Either the law imposing penalties upon
persons who cast things into the streets
and allies must be enforced or a system
of carriage adopted, as in larger cities, to
carry away ashes, litter, etc. 1t is for the
people to say which they will have. 1t
would seem that, in as small place as
this is, people ought to take care Of their
own filth and litter, and not make it neces-
sary for their neighbors to be taxed to
clean up around the dwellings of other
people. 1t does seem little hard to tax
neat and tidy people, who keep everything
clean around their own premises, on the
sidewalks, in the streets or allies-it seems
little hard, we say, to tax such people to
pay for picking up and cleaning up after
the careless and slovenly. But something
must be done in the matter. Either those
who throw litter and garbage in the streets
and allies must be prosecuted and pun
ished, or we must have scavenger's carts
to carry it away, at the expense of the tax
payers generally. Which shall it be2
1t may be that some legislation may be
necessary by the Council frst-but some
thing ought to be done to keep the streets
and allies clear of such unsightly and dis
agreeable heaps as can be found in some
parts Of the city-and of the litter from
some Of our business places.
