We are able this week to report decld
ed and valuable results of the women Z
war upon incompetence in our midst
such results as will undoubtedly encour.
age them to perseverc in the good work
and inspire them with hopes of yet moro
decisive success.
At the regular meeting Of the City
Council last Monday evening, a dclega-
ton OF about twenty ladies appeared and
presented petition with 800 signatures,
asking that the city licenses for the sale
Of beer and wine be raised to $500 The
bill accompanying the petition was modi.
fed 80 as to read $500, and in this shape
was read the first time. A motion to sus
pend the rules that 1t might be read a
second time failed for want of q two.
thirds vote the vote standing five yeas
and four nays. This was regarded by
the ladies as IN indication of hostile
attitude on the part of the Council to.
ward the reform they had in view, and
its first effect was dampcning to their
enthusiasm. But knowing that they had
firm friends in the Council they soon
rallied and made successful effort to
have a sp ecial meeting Of that body the
next evening. At this special meeting
there was perceptiblc improvement in
the bearing of the Mayor and Council
toward the women and their cause. The
officials had slept upon the matter, and
it began to dawn upon their conscious.
ness that the demands of the ladies were
founded on reason and justice, and that
1t would not be proper or safe to treat
them cavalicrly. A bill foran ordinance,
substantially the same as that adopted
at Cedar Rapids, was offered as a sub
stitute for the one introduced the eve
ming before, and found such favor that
it went through all the readings and was
passed unanimously. It will be found in
our advertising columns Though not
exactly in the shape Of the Legislation
first asked by the ladies, it practically
accomplishes the same ends, and is &C
ccptablc to them and the public. 1t fixeI
the saloon licenses at 5000, and require.
Il bond in the sum of $500, conditioned
that the saloon keeper shall allow M
person to get drunk on his premises
that he shall not sell to or harbor minors
that he shall not open his saloon or al
low drinking on Sunday, or on election
days, nor keep it open beyond ten o'clocl
p. NJ, any day that he shall not sci
spurious liquors all this on pain of fin
of 800, and forfeiture of his license.
These provisions are stringent, and
enforced will do much good We con
graduate the ladies upon the result @
their agitation. Let them now educat
public sentiment to demand the stric
carrying out of the ordinance, and it, a
is alleged, other parties habitually vic
late the laws against the sale of liquors
let them be looked to.

-. c." in the Union is in error in say
ing that Mr.. iEawley was Johnson man, -
1t would have been more TO his credit to
have been one, but the facts are hat at
the opening o: President JohHson's admin
istration he was inclined TO sustain John
son and said he believed johnson was try
ing TO carry out Lineoln's policy, but Con
gress was thwartiug him in the effort. Mr.
Hawiey was post master then,-but there
was talk of removing han. la converse
ton with him on that subject he was told
that ii he came out openly ON the streets
for johnson he would o be removed.
He answered that he would decide in a
few days. Ia the interim he went
TO Monmouth and made an agree
ment with Harding to work
for HarAng reelection if he could have
the position OF Congressman next term.
This Harding agreed to and he returned
home, saying that lac had concluded 10
sustain Congress and not johnson. He
was thea removed from the post Office.
Had he failed to make the trade with
Harding there is no doubt THAT he would
have been a johnson man-to keep TIE

The Republicans in this district (outside
of our county, now say that they intend to
nominate Mr.. Hawley for Congress wheth-
er he carries the delegates in this county
or not. They say that the disaffection here
is only a personal matter of a few sore
heads with which they have nothing to
do, and they will not submit to have Mr..
Hawley broken down merely to please a
few disappointed men, Here is a speci-
men of the way they talk

Henry, Bureau, Lee and Putnam counties
to mix up in the personal fight against MIR.
Hawley in Rock Island, or pay any atten-
ton to it. The Republicans in the coun-
ties named are we'll satisfied with the pres
ent member. The feeling is general that
nothing could be made, but much lost, by
a change at the present time. The ques
ton appears to be settled outside OF Rock
Island. and let the action of hes convention
IN that county be what 1t may, the rest OF
the district should not stultlty itself by
permitting that action to determine Its
course. For ought we know the personal
enemies In his own county may succeed In
securing an anti Hawley delegation to the
| Congressional Convention. And suppose
thew do, will the other four counties yield
their rights and preferences to please MIR.
Hawley's enemies, and give up the man
the best fitted of any at the present time
for the place? We take it that the Re
pnblicans outside of Rock Island know
what they want and who they want to rep
resent them in Congress, and it would be
a pitiful spectacle indeed to see nine. tenths
of the convention yielding to the clamors
of a few of Mr.. Hawley's enemies. The
convention will do no such thing.

There will undoubtedly be an effort
made by the friends of Hawley and Lynde
to get men who claim to be Democrats,
Liberals, Independents, Changers, etc, to
20 to the Republican primaries and
vote for their list of delegates. We earn
estly advise all such to hold themselves
entirely aloof, keep away from their meet
ings, aud be prepared to take advantage of
the quarrel to secure the election of a good
man of Independent politics to Congress.
If the Republican party managers, on
both sides, have their eyes open they will
not allow any such men to vote, 1t is
their fight aud we hope it is to he their
funeral. Let them fight it out.

Mrs. Tilton's and Mr.. Beecher's Acts were
those Of Moral, not Actual Adultery
From the Chicago Post.

From the chicago Post.
The morning papers jump at conclusions
when they assert that Tilton's statement
would convict Beecher of adultery before
a jury. 1t would do nothing of the kind.
The most it could do would be to afford a
strong presumption that Beecher loved
Mrs. Tilton, and that the latter reciprocal.
ted the affection that both afterward re-
pented their imprudence and were forgiv-
en-, and that after the matter was condon-
ed the relations of the parties were beyond
criticism from a moral standpoint. Of
curse this hypothesis, even, leaves Beech
er, in view of his position and profession,
in a very bad shape; but not nearly so bad
as David was in when he sent the husband
of Bathsheba to the forefront of the bat
tie and yet even Dayid was forgiven upon
confession and repentance:
