Are We to Have any SldewaIks7
AMPLE POWER HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE
CITY AUTHORITIES.
Shall it be Exercised =!

In the law of this State, approved April
l0,lS72, and entitled Cities and Villages,
it being general incorporation law for
cities and villages, there is an article pro-
vidinp. in detail, for authority to make all
necessary public improvements, including
sidewalks, etc This article (9) contains
GO sections, setting forth, in detail, all the
proceedings necessary for enforcing the
same And section 60 provides that IT,
Any city or incorporated town or village may, II
it shall so determine by ordinance. adopt the pro.
visions of this article without adopting the whole
of this act and where itshal have so adopted this
article Il shall have the right to take all proceed
ings in this article provided for and have the bene
1t OF all the provisions thereof.
The City Council of this city, under Mr..
Murdock's administration, adopted the
article alluded to, by ordinance, on the 5th
of last August And on the 18th OF
November following, another ordinance
was passed, requiring certain sidewalks to
be built on Orleans street, in order 10 get
to the new c., r. l. 4 p. depot Com
missioners were appointed, under that or
dinance, who made report to the Council
on the matter, as required by law the re
port was accepted the parties notified to
build walks. etc. No walks were built, and
the CITY Attorney was directed to proceed
against the owners of the property, in the
County Court, as provided by law. And
still nothing is done.
Now, what the public wants to know is
this Whose fault is it that We get no
sidewalks ? Is it because the County Court
noglects TO act? Or is it because the City
Attorney neglects his duty? Or is it be
cause the proceedings taken by Murdoch
were illegal? The public wants to know,
and the public shall know, il
we can learn where the blame
belongs Under Article IN there
is ample power to compel the owners OF
property to build good walks all over
town-and it is left with the Council to say,
by ordinance, when walks are ordered,
whether the whole expense shall be as
seSsed upon the property where the walks
are ordered, or whether only part of the
expense shall be thus paid and the balance
by general tax If we understand the
matter, there need be no excuse hereafter
for bad walks The expense is not great,
and the property where they are needed.
would be benefited more than the cost
OF having good walks built We hope that
our present city government will require
property holders, wherever walks are
much needed, to put them down This
course will not add to the general
tax, and will give US good walks
And lust as soon as we can properly fix
the responsibility for not enforcing and
carrying out the work began by Murdoch
last November, we shall attach the blame
to the party to whom it properly belongs
Somebody Is at fault for this delay. Who
is it?

OF Milwaukee, and in which the people of
that city justly take pride in mentioning

Twelve years of honest experience has en-
abled them To build up the largest
machinists and mill furnishing business in
the west Their works and large three
story buildings cover over FIVE acres of
ground, and give employment to between
three and four hundred men Some idea
of the extent of their business may be had
from the fact that in one room there is
over SO, 200 worth OF patterns. They are

Married in Church.

At clock Tuesday evening DR.. John
+. Bready and Miss Marcia Brownell, were
married in Trinity church in this city
Rey VIM. Ely Of Rockdale, Penn, an
uncle of the groom, conducted the ceremo-
ny, assisted by Rev. 7. l. Holcomb, rector
Of the parish. The attendants were Mr..
j. p. Whitehead, of this city and Miss
Ashmead, of Philadelphia, cousin of the
groom and Mr.. Phil Mitchell and Miss
Helen Brownell, a sister of the bride.
Messrs. c. r. Chamberlin, T. J. Rodman,
Morris Rosenfeld and Will II. Truesdale
acted as ushers Miss Ida Sammis presid-
ed at the organ. The house was full, much
interest being manifested in the ceremony,
especially by the younger portion of our
people We have rarely witnessed such q
collection of beautiful young ladies as was
present ON that occasion. DR.. Bready's
mother, and quite number of his friends
from Philadelphia, were present, OF
course the bride was elegantly arrayed
and the attendants only a little less so
Of course the ceremony was per-
formed with great propriety, and of
course every thing passed off with eelat.
After the ceremony, carriages conveyed the
party to the residence of the brides
mother, where refreshments were served,
aud where the congratulations of friends
were received. There was a very handsome
array Of elegant and useful presents. The
newly married couple left for the east,
the same evening, with the good wishes of
all. They will be absent about a month
The eastern friends Of the parties left this
Wednesday morning, for home, quite
well pleased with the whole affair, and not
less pleased with Rock Island and its
surroundings.

and drives 1t well. DdreHport Democrat.
1t is not usual to find such an instance
of fellow feeling, as in the ease of Gen.
Sanders and Capt Haverstiek Both
were turned out of office. Both were
soldiers. Both had stay-at- home English
men appointed in their places. San
ders served under Grant, but Grant made
him git up and git out of the Daven-
port postoffiee and put Ed. Russell, non
fighting Englishman, in his place There
was no charge against Sanders and prob
ably nine-tenths of the people of Dayen-
port would have preferred that he should
keep the Office. He was a victim of the hyp-
ocritical professions of the Republican
party in regard to rewarding soldiers and
also of its professions on the subject ofcivil
service. Haverstick was a soldier, too, but
Grant, at the dictation of another soldier
(Hawley) who never did any fighting,
kicked him out and put VIM. Jackson,
a stay-at-home Englishman, in his
place-a further evidence Of the love of
the Republican party for stay-at-home
soldiers and for the civil service There
was no charge against Haverstick.
And now he and Sanders edit the Union,
and sympathize with one another upon the
ingratitude of the Republican party.
Sich is life.
