Gen. >. II. Howe, late Chief Justice of wv.

Texas whittier he went some time since for
his health Intelligence received from min,
three OF four weeks ago announced that he
was rapidly improving under the influence
Of the climate and hoped for speedy re-
covery. But it seems that his disease
consumption must have had too firm n
hold, and has finally conquered. His wife
accompanied him, and the body will nm
doubtedly be brought home to Kewanee
for burial. Gen Howe has been a citizen Of
this county for many years, and has been
prominent in politics and in the legal ., O.

Radical Meanness.

Of the defeat Of the Republicans, in that
city, at the late municipal election, says
The only really mean and dirty dodge of
the day was an attempted smartness on
the part OF some one or more of the antago-
nsts to the Liberal movement, who
caused to be written and posted in the up
per part of the city the following
Vote for Murphy, he likes his lager Don't
vote for Bennett, or you'll lose your lager"
OF course such dirty trick only worked
against the inventors-hurt the Republican
ticket rather than helped it and the
gigantic intellect who planned the game
land he is pretty well known is doubtless
heartily ashamed OF it,,

There is a bill before our State Senate,
which has already passed the House, ior
the assessment and collection of city taxes
by city authority The Chicago journal
says
Every large city in the State, is
anxiously expecting the passage Of this
bill Should it be defeated, every con
siderable city of Illinois would virtually
be forced into bankruptcy next year.
The bin is n city necessity
Rock Island is not very large city,
and we don't think the people care whether
the bill shall become law or not If it
does, then some Democrat or Liberal
Republican will probably get the commits
sions for collecting the taxes If it does
not, then Capt Cleaveland will get the
commissions. 1t will make little or no
difference with the people generally.
