Their BENEFIT.
HAwLEY HELPING THEM


On the 10Th, Col Flagler Commandant at
Rock Island Arsenal, caused the following |
notice to be served on the agents of all the |
railroads in this city and Davenport;
SIR:-I have TO Inform Won that have received /
orders from the Secretary OF War prohibiting the
transportation of railro id fr rhts over the wagon
roads or the Government Bridges between Rock Is
land and Davenport,
Respectfully yours,
u. ". FLAGLER.
Commanding on Rock Island.
We learn, from what we think is reliable
authority, that the c. r. |. & p. company
had nothing whatever to do with procuring
this order, and did not desire it, or care
anything about it. We also learn that the
{. K. |. 4 p. company has fixed such rea-
sonable rates for transferring cars across
the Mississippi that no company, on either
side Of the river, is excluded from having
cars transferred, and that all cars, of any
road, are now transferred when desired
This being the case, there is no other
conclusion to come to, except that Mr. Haw-
ley and T. j Robinson have claimed that
a Republican Administrator must protect
the Poor Heirs in leyying a tariff on
everything which crosses the Mississippi.
and that they have procured the order
from the Adminitration That's the way
it looks, to US And if the people are pre-
pared to sustain an Administration or
party which does such things, there is no
corruption they will not sanction.
Speaking Of this new order, the Daven-
port De1aocrat says;
1t will not stop the transfer Of freight,
however, as the wagons can cross on the
ferry and here where you cen smell "a
mice il you like, 500 per day Is a thing
needed by the ferry company just now,
The order appears wrong and uneceSsa-
ry, II one class of freight Is excluded, why
not exclude ali ? And what right has the
government 10 stop any class Of freight
1t Is probable that the order will not hold
for a very long time
And the Rock Island Union says
The direct effect Of this order is there
fore simply 10 benefit the Ferry Company.
And a. the Ferry Company own a Con
gresham the people will u1t lie slow to fix
the responsibility for this outrageous or
der Its Injustice Is manifested IN this
