Caps at Livingston ;.
Appears all Right.

A week ago last Tuesday we gave an
account of the arrest Of one j. VI. McAfiee
for alleged attempted swindle of Franz
Stautenbeil. in this city, in real estate
McAffee paid $l20, and thus
settled the affair, rather than 90 10 the
trouble of a trial. Two days afterward he
took Staufenheil with him to Monticello,
Wis. 70 satisfy him Of his good character
and good intentions Stautenbeil returned
home yesterday morning. He states that
he found the mortgage for 81 OO0 on prop
erty near Montelln. which McAffee offered
him as part pay for city property, all right,
and closed the previous transaction with
him, taking the mortgage and $500 cash
in exchange for two lots in Davenport.
McAffee paid Stautenbeil' : expenses, acted
the gentleman throughout, and was looked
upon as Il good citizen at Montello, So il
seems that McAffee was greatly wranged
not only in his arrest but in the published
accounts Of the transaction. DdeeHport

This is the gentleman who was dragged
out Of the Harper House by mob Of
policemen from Davenport and Rock Is

And limbers up scverest strains,

Bids CONT goodbye without a tear.

Causes the cripple to walk, the lame to leap,
Hearts to think. instead Of eyes to weep
Only, Centaur Liniment

Harmless as the bite of Hcas

Assuages the pangs Of broken breast,
Flows the tactical huid-gives nights of rest.
But Ccntaur Liniment
And when chiblains sting or hot steam scalds,
What is it soothes for what can we call,
But Centaur Liniment
When the car crushed old Tilden's arm.
Twas saved from amputation by this charm.
The Centaur Liniment
And when Barnum's lion, Uncle Ben,
Broke his leg in that dismal den,
He roared for Centaur Liniment
Now as the poor horse, lame and sore.
With crippled knee limps to our door,
And begs for Centau- Eminent
And the doeile sheep on thousand hills,
Die by the millionaire screw worm kills.

HORSE CARS TO CROSS THE RIVER.

Our Geographic dispatches have inform
ed us that Mr. Hawley has introduced
bill in Congress granting the right to lay
down rails and run horse ears across the
government bridges and Island between
this city aud the Iowa side Of the river
I Who are the incorporators or what are the
provisions of the bill Mr.. Hawley has not
deiened t. inform his constituents As it
i, matter which deeply concerns them,
and As the only possible excuse Congress
can have for passing the bill is that it is
/ necessary for the accommodation and con
venieuee Of the public, we really cannot
see why Mr. Hawley should not have fur
nished the newspapers with copy Of the
/ bill even in advance of its introduction, in
order that it might be published and the
people have an opportunity to make sug-
gestions in regard to it. Unless he is the
tool of some ring of spectators and is de-
termined to subserve their interests in pref
erence to the interests Of the people, he
will furnish copy of the bill and solicit
suggestions from the people generally re-
gardine it.
With many i, is very questionable
whether horse cars should be permitted Il
cross the bridges and Island at all They
think it would render the passage witt
carriages unsafe, and mar the beauty and
comfort Of the drive. That is their view
Of it.
THE AHGrs does not express amy opin
ion on that point now,--but it does insis
that. if horse ears are to be permitted there
at all no man or set of men, nor no one
corporation should have any monopoly o
the business The government none,
should not be used to give any man or an!
ring monopoly. If horse cars are to b,
permitted u cross the bridges and Island
the right should be given to all street rail
roads now in existence or which may here
after have an existence in either city, ~
either side Of tie river each road usin
il paying its proportion of the cost Of lay
ing the tract: and of keeping it in repair
Our street railroads which use it woul,
thus end on the other side of the river
and those from the other side would en-
! On this side. A double track should b
laid No unhitching of teams would b
necessary, as each ear would swing aroun
at each end Of the road, as easily a.
buggy could be turned around. Passer

thus he landed on this side, and vic

: they could take ears in waiting for then
This plan would not make a monopoly of

INSULTING THE HAND THAT FEEDS
HIM.
The editorial post master in this city
seems 70 have been so completely captiva-
ted by the appearance Of Bloomington
that, in his Tuesday morning paper, he
takes occasion. in long editorial, entitled
Bloomington and Normal, u insult
nearly everybody in this city, by invidious
and offensive comparisons The whole ar
ticle is unjust and insulting The wealth
of Bloomington was mostly brought there
The wealth OF Rock Island comes
from long years Of patient industry
and frugalty. The State has show
cred money and influence upon
that locality-never a cent on this nor
the United States either, until very re-
Gently. The City Councils of both Moline
and Rock Island are grossly in
suited by most unfair allu-
sion. The man who offers this
insult 10 the chosen representatives Of
these two cities, was educated at his
father expense and furnished with ample
means u start in business--probably more
money given him than he is worth to-day
There is not a man in our City Council
and we guess not in Moline either who
was not quite poor in his boyhood, and who
has not, by his own unaided efforts, made
himself what he is to-day--all of them the
equal in intelligence of the man who in
suits them; none Of them his inferior nat
urally some of them his equal in acquired
knowledge, and many Of them, each, his
superior in wealth, and who pay more, an.
nually, TO support the government and
improve the city than he does. Why
should ne insult them by an odious and un
fair comparison?-or insult the people
who elected them, and who feed him
Who appointed him public censor, that
he might make unfavOrable comparison
Of our towns of Rock Island and Molinr
and their peopleP A fitting close of hi
jeremiade is proposition to increase sa
loon licenses to such figure as to rende
large class of buildings, as he says
'tenantless, and, Of course, give a monop
oily OF the business to few rich dealers.
