The NEW PANAcCA Modern science
having demonstrated that alcohol is meth
er food nor physic, but, on the contrary,
species of poison, the introduction of
potent tonic which is entirely free from it
is certainly subject for congratulation.
DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs is
medicine which may be fairly character
lied as an unobjectionable specific for
many distressing and dangerous diseases.
Temperance organizations, heretofore in
favor of permitting the sale of alcohol for
medical purposes, are of opinion that Vim
EGAR BITTERs possesses all the efficacy as
an invigorant that has ever been even
claimed for spirituous stimulants. and on
this account as well as because of the sin
gular success which has attended its use in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, disorders of the
bowels, nervous diseases, general debility,
and all maladies growing out of intemper-
ance, they warmly recommend it as a re-
storative and Alternative of surprising ex-
cellepce.

6rrbed Deadheaos,

The Agricultural Society has just issued
deadhead tickets to our aldermen, for
themselves and families, probably to show
gratitude for depriving the people of a
source of revenue for the best three days
in the year. Of course it would not do to
issue tickets only to those who voted to
deprive the people of considerable
amount of revenue-that would show the
bride too plain, and therefore tickets we're
sent to all the aldermen. We hear that
Alderman Engel returned the ticket sent
to him, with declaration that he was not
in favor of dead heads or official brides,
and believed that all who attended the
fair should pay. If this is so, Mr.. Engel
is to be commended for the act.
The practice of free passes is wrong. 1t
is corrupting. 1t has been rcsorted to by
corporations to such an extent that public
indignation is justly aroused in regard to
it, 1t is one source of decentralization and
corruption of people and officers. And it
runs through all the ramifcations of bust
ness. Passes are not given for nothing.
Those who issue them expect an equiva-
lent. Until public indignation was aroused
againsti it, railroad companies were in the
habit of sending yearly passes to all coun-
ty officers. Did they do this with no ex-
pectation of favors in return? OF course
not By giving pass to coroners they
expect, in case of accidents, such efforts at
inquests as would screen them from blame
if possible. BY giving pass to judges
they expect all the leaning towards their
side in law suits which is possible under
the law. By giving passes to assessors
they expect favors by low assessments.
By giving passes to county and circuit clerks
ard treasurers they expect such favor and
Influence as they can extend tothelr roads
By giving passes to members OF legisla-
tures and congressman they expect favors
in the way of legislation. BY giving pas
SEES to governors and tate officers they ex-
pect favors in return. BY giving passes
to editors they expect favorable notices in
return. Every man who has pass
over any public conveyance, or to any
show or exhibition, is expected to render
some equivalent in return. Public officers
cannot get something for nothing. They
are expected to betray the people whose
servants they are, and work all they dare
to in the interests of those whose little
bride they carry in their pockets.
Why is it that for years, our ferry COM
pany has always dead-headed mayors and
aldermen? The people can guess,
Why is it that the horse railroad com
pany supplies aldermen with passes ?
Most anybody can guess.
Why is it that the Agricultural Society
now sends passes to councilmen? The
people can guess. And the people will
applaud Alderman Engel for returning the
little piece of pasteboard the Society is so
anxious to give those who voted to deprive
them of proper source of revenue while
the Society is benefited at our taxpayers

A Proper Suggestion.

To the Editors of The Rock Island Argus:
The suggestion of MIR. c. Atkinson, in
your paper last evening, was b very proper
one, and is founded upon justice and hon
esty. Under Mr., Carter's administration
trick was played upon the mass of the
people of this city for the benefit of few,
by running us in debt for water works.
That the thickly settled portions of the
city are greatly benefited by the water
works admit, but is it right to saddle a
dsb ,, on 9p the outlying portions for the bens
us for debt and interest and give us no
water? If the water works don't pay ex-
penses, let the water district be taxed
same as the gas district is. think it is
wrong to make us liable to help pay the
debt and give us no water SUBURBS.

a Coed Reason.

In the Debate in regard to giving the
Agricultural Society benefit at the ex-
pense of our tax payers Alderman Carse
said the council had jus, refused to pur-
chase hook and ladder apparatus to save
the peoples property in case of fire, and
on the ground that the city had not funds
to spare ut present, and he did not think,
after that vote, it would appear well 70
vote to deprive the city Of a revenue of
several hundred dollars for the benefit of
stockholders in private Incorporation -
The people will agree that Alderman
Carse $ reasoning is good

Extracts are not made up from chemical
poisons. but natural havors, delicate and
grateful to the most cultivated palate, they
are rapidly growing in popular favor. The
special recommendation of Dr. Price Fla
vors is that their purity is perfect, their
strength so much greater than other ex-
tracts, while the bottles hold half more
than those purportng to contain the same
quantity. 1t is only necessary for a person
of pure and healthy tastes to try these

there you hear choros, of coughing, with

that fact in voting to cut off the bridge rev.

any private axe TO grind in voting that
