Monopoliss in General and one Monopoly in
Particular,

EDITOR GAZETTE 1T seems odd, in
these days, when we hear so much about
monopolies, and how arbitrary they conduct
their affairs, the extortionate demands they
make upon the people, to have one
which we may call whether properly or
improperly monopoly deal as fairly and
Justly as think our local monopoly has done
through the present coal scarcity. While
the article all around us, and even in our
own city, was bringing from twenty to
forty cents, they have held on to the one
price, sixteen cents, giving to each a lin
tied amount so that all could have some
and none 90 entirely without, when to re
fuse them more seemed almost a sin |
say think we should recognize this fair
ness and painstaking on their part, by our
continuance in dealing with them when this
much needed article shall become more
plenty.
Let us not, when the time comes when
we, perhaps can procure it somewhere
else for a trife less, neglect them and for
get their present uprightness and fair
play
/ feel | but express the feelings of
many, when ! say Mr.. Cable, may you
prosper, and long life attend you, for the
humane and Christian spirit thus mani
tested. Yours truly,
MONOPOLY.

climate
There is perhaps, no disease with which our
country is affected which sweeps off annually so
many victims as that fell destroyer of the human
race-Consumption, Day after day, year after year
the insatiate monster hurres to the cold and silent
portals of the tomb fresh added victims to its con-
quest. No walk of life is sacred from its bghting
influence No age is exempt from Its death deal
ing 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 temperance has rendered his system imper
yious to the attacks of other ills and whose good
deeds prepared him for the enjoyment of life's
calm evening, finds consumption fastening its fangs
upon his vitals and tearing him from world ever
bright to minds which look complacently ON days
/ well spent.
Consumption, in its confirmed and ineipient
stages, coughs, asthma, Group. and liver complaint
form by far the most fatal class of diseases known

Davenport Dec tO-Iast summer the Rock
River Navigation Company built a small steamer
with the Dowier wheel, for the purpose Of trans
porting coal In barges. Proving highly successful
they have ordered built three more Of the same
style, and also twelve or fifteen more nat boats
This company Will enter largely into the coal trade
the coming season.
The Rock River Navigation Company is
composed of VIM II. Fairclough Of this
county, and others associated with him
They have not ordered three more steam
ers built, or even one more They have
one small steamer, the Edith, which was
built here last season, but was not launch
ed in time TO do much before the close OF
navigation She made a few trips from
Parks & Killers mines to South Rock
Island, TOWING barges of coal. Next year
she will probably do a good deal, in that
way, from any of the banks up Rock river
that want her services. No new steamers
have been ordered, and none are needed.
The company ought to have fifteen or
twenty fiat boats, and tow coal from Rock
river through the locks and to a market,
and it is probable that some of this sort OF
boats may be built this winter
The rocks in the lower part of the cana
at South Rock Island have been removed
and no difficulty need be apprehended, il
the spring, in towing fats out into the
Mississippi and to any point where coal il
wanted.
