By these brief remarks we are enabled 10
show that every public official has proven
himself incompetent or worse. Do the people
of Rock Island desire such g set of men TO
preside over their affairs for another year I?
We are quite certain they do not There
fore vote for Bailey Davenport.
That notorious character, Tom
Murdoch has now been placed at the head
Of the Republican ticket. Whether he is
the venal representative of Mitchell &
Lynde's bank or not, and though he
may answer very well for the
Republican Temperance Kangaroo Wa
ter Bonds ticket, he is not the
man TO give tone to the morals of a city like
Rock Island. With such o Mayor as he,
assisted BY such bummers as Carter, HAYES.
simonson, Condor, Ourti., Burgh and Jake
Norris, where would our city go to?
What kind of financial administration
have We had ? A most outrageous one.
Our public debt mas been increased nearly
a HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS waste
and ex!ravagance have characterized every
department no public Improvements have
been made the money has gone nobody
knows where J taxes have been piled upon
taxes; the wheels of progress have been
blocked BY exorbitant imposts, and some o.
our leading business men are seriously con
templst'ng removal to other points, in order
to escape these unjust and exactisg burdens
DO the voters Of Rock Island want another
year OF this ruinous misrule ? OF course
they do not. Therefore let them plac,

A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BET.

A windy Republican, the other day, offer
ed to bet $4,000 that Bailey Davenport
would be defeated. He was Immediately
invited to walk over to the bank and "pony
up, bat concluding shat discretion was the
better part of financial talent, backed down
instanter. Another one who wanted to
bet $3.50, was also frightened out. We
do not approve of betting on elections, bu;
are glad to see Democrats evince such faith
in the success OF their party.

Good Advice.

Do not choose your friend by his
looks handsome shoes often pinch the
feet.
Nobody is more like an honest man
than a thorough rogue. When you
see a man with a great deal ofreligion
displayed in his shop window, you
may depend he keeps a very small
stock of it within.
Don't be fond ofcompliments; re-
member, "Thank you, pussy, and
thank you, pussy" killed the cat"
Don't believe in the man who talks
most; for mewing cats are seldom
good mousers.
By no means put yourself in an
others power; if you put your thumb
between two grinders, they are very
apt to bite.
Drink nothing without seeing it,
sign nothing without reading it, and
make sure that it means no more than
it says.
Don't go to law unless you have
nothing TO lose; lawyers houses are
build ON fools heads.
In any business never wade into
water where you can not see the bot
tom.
Put no dependence upon the label
of bag, and count money after your
own kin.
See the sack open before yea buy
what is in it; for he who trades in the
dark asks to be cheated.
Keep clear of the man who does not
value his own character.
Beware of the man who swears; he
who would blaspheme his Maker
would make no bones of lying and
stealing.
Beware of no man more than OF
yourself we carry our worst enemies
with us.
When new opinion or a doctrine
comes before you, do not bite till you
know wether it is bread or stone, and
do not be sure that the gingerbread
is good because OF. the gilt on it.
Never shout halo till you are quite
out of the woods, and never cry fried
fish until they are out of the net.
THERE'S always time enough to boast
wait little longer.
DeFft throw away dirty water until
You have clean, and keep ON scraping
the roads till you get better work.
The poorest bread is better thau
none, and the humblest Office is better
than being out of employment.
Always give mp the road to bulls and
madmen, and never fight with a coal

A Miraculous Escape.

AS Mr.. j. II. Wagner and his wife
were returning to:Akron, from Boston,
Ohio, in buggy, along the railroad
track, they were suddenly overtaken
by a locomotive, with a eabOose at
tached, and before they had time to
turn out of the way the horse, carriage,
and all were lifted bodily from the
ground by the engine and carried for
ward with tremendous force. The
horse was the first to BECOME olsen
tangled, being turned completely
around and hurled into ditch at the
side of the track. Mrs. Wagner was
the next to go, and with her the great,
er part of the body of the buggy,
while Mr.. Wagner was carried near
| ly thirty feet beyond before he was
dashed to the side of the track. The
whole affair occurred in an instant,
almost. and in less time than it takes
to tell it the engine had freed itself OF
its burden and disappeared in the
darkness. Mr.. Wagner was the first
to recover consciousness, and when he
did so it was with unbounded surprise
to find that he was not only not KILL
ed outright, but what was most Won
derful of all, he was not injured in
the least. Returning along the track
in order to find, as he supposed, the
dead body of his wife, he was stih
more amazed to .discoveT;her crawling
from the wreck, and with the excep-
ton of a few slight bruises, entirely
uninjured. The poor horse was found
stretched out upon the grouitd with a
broken leg, apparently much injured
internally, and had to be shot, and
the buggy was smashed into thou
sand pieces, the track along which it
was dragged being strewn its entire
length with the wreck.

Abraham Lincoln.

The London Spectator, in q review
of Drape's History of the Civil War
in America, pays well deserved tri-
butte to Abraham Lincoln, and some
of the minor characters in the bloody
drama of the rebellion, made still more
bloody by the murder of the lament
ed martyr who exerted himself so no.
bIy, patriotically, and unselfishly to
bring it to close. The Spectator
saws: The figure and character of
Lincoln, the uncultivatea WesterD
man, so simple, strong and thorough.
is one of those which will not readily
pass away from the memories of men,
1t stands beside the courtly Washinge
ton, for, If the latter founded, Lincoln
saved the Republic, and more than
any other man made it a nation. In
saving this, we do not overlook the
civil services of his civil eoadjutors,
some of whom-Stanton, for example
have not had justice done them ip
Europe; nor do We forget tbe services
of Grant, Sherman and sheridan, or
of Farragut and Porter, whose high
qualities were illustrated during every
/ phase of the war. But tine most orig
inal, and perhaps 4lle loftiest ellarae-
ter brought TO light by the conflict
was that of the steadfast President
who died so tragieally just as victor{
was won, aud as the peace he sighed
for dawned upon the troubled land
