WITHOUT NEWSPAPER. Nothing
presents sadder commentary upon the
present condition Of society than the large
number Of families, both in town and coun-
try, but more especially the latter, that do
not subscribe for a paper Of any kind.
How many families are thus growing up
utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in
the world around them--ignorant of the
mighty events of the day. But who can
tell of the injury inflicted upon the rising
generation; those who are to take our place
at no distant day--growing up without
any knowledge Of the present or study Of
the past; this ignorance, too, being imbued
into them by the sanction Of those who
should, and doubtless do know better, did
they only think Of the injurious effects Of
their insane course. Let the head of the
family think of this, and place in the hands
of those for whom he is responsible, the
means Of acquiring some knowledge Of the
moving panorama in which we act our
different parts.

by resolution, which is void of effect,
" An ordinance cannot be repealed by mo-

We held to the same opinion at one
time, but having carefully examined our

The charter declares, Art. "

sent of the parent, guardian, master or

Forty tourth-The city council shall
have power to pass, publish, amend and
repeal all ordinances, rules and police
regulations, etc, etc.
There is nothing in the charter as to
how an ordinance Or any part of an ordi
nance must be repealed. The charter ex-
pressly declares that this traffic must be
regulated, etc by ordinance, but it en-
joins no form for repeal In this case, is
it not probable that the courts would say
that it certainly was the intention of the
council to repeal Sec 6, and that intention
was twice shown. by yeas and nays on the
record and inasmuch as the charter does
not prescribe the form for repeal, the
council complied with all its requirements =?
The form in one case would be: BE it or
dained' &c, that Sec 6. &c, is hereby
repealed and in the other case the form
would be; BE it resolced' &C.. that Sec.
6. &c, is hereby repealed. In either case
there is no doubt aboutth intention of the
council. The more we examine the cues.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, April lit is I'M
derstood here that the Davenpart & St.

possession of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad Company, who have long
been desiring a northern outlet from here.
The Davenport 4 St Paul Road is now in
operation 1870 miles, but is very much run
down. The Rock Island Company will
buy out the Pennsylvania Centra's inter
est, and complete the road to st. Paul.
When completed this road will be one of
the very best in Iowa.
We find the above in the Chicago Tfi-
buae Of yesterday. If it be true, Daven-
port will be troubled no more with the
Duck Greek depot question. We hope it
is true, and should be glad if the C. r. l.
