CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
The Rock Island Convention.

We publish in this paper a call for a
Transportation Convention, to be held at
Rock Island, on Tuesday, the oath inst.
convention is to secure Government aid in
opening water lines of communication be-
tween the east and west This is matter
of great interest to all classes, and we trust
that the friends of cheap transportation, in
this vicinity, will see to it that they are
represented in said convention.
The demand for cheap transportation for
the products of the west to the eastern
markets, is elicting much discussion of the
relative merits Of water and railroad lines,
and is bringing out facts bearing upon the
question but little understood, because
they have not been investgated-by the
masses generally.
Although the building of new trunk lines
of railroads might afford partial and tenn
porary relief there can be no question that
the solution of the transportation problem
is alone to be found in all water lines be
tween the east and west To this end, in
stead of urging upon Congress to build a
double track freight railroad, let the Gov
eminent aid be invoked in opening the wa
ter channels. Connect rivers and lakes by
canals, furnishing uninterrupted water
communication from the Mississippi to tide
water, and great step will have been ia
ken in the direction of cheap Transports
ton.
The building of canal from the Misss-
sippi to the Illinois river would furnish
such route by way of the Lakes and Erie
canal, and could be opened at a compare
lively small expense, which facts are sufil-
cient to secure its favorable consideration
by Congress. -ke,cane independent
The convention which is called to meet
in Rock Island on the oath inst, in the in
terests of the Hennepin- Rock Island canal

mlsapprehension at your office concerning

believe t. be the strongest candidate that
could have been nominated by the combin.
ed opposition. The Grant papers have
tried TO magnify the pretended bolt of one
Foster. who has so-called Democratic

The plan was accepted, and has been thus

My belief was, and is, that ON the Mat.

that victory over the Administration If

extent that has never been equaled. Inc
advocates are not confined to any pohtlcal
party, but are party of the people, the
platform of which is cheap transportation
for the products of the Northwest TO ude-
water.
Your memorialists do further represent
to the Congress OF the United states that
the increasing population and consequent
enlarged production OF tonnage Tor ship
ments to tide water admonlsh the nation
to provide at an early day such cheap
means of transporting the surplus pro-
ducts of the great west as will be renumer-
alive to the producer.
Our memorialists are satisfied that in.
creased water transportation between the
east and west is one of the means by which
the laborer can be rewarded for his toll, anc
as stepin this directionis the continuation
of the Illinois and Michigan canal from
Illinois river to the Mississippi river, YOU
memorialists do most respectfully urge up
on Congress the wisdom and justice of an
appropriation sufficient for this improve
ment. The route has been surveyed and
pronounced by competent engineers practi-
cable and comparatively cheap in the cost
of construction. 1t is indeed link in the
great plan of water transportation be
tween the east and west before the coun
try tributary to the Mississippi can find I
water outlet by the way of the great lake.
to tide-water.
Your memorialists do therefore mos
earnestly appeal to Congress to take early
action in this improvement, to the end tina
the interests of tie great grain growing
districts of the nation may be fostered, tn

Like the captive Hebrews they sing not now

and weep over fallen Judea True they sing the
Songs Of marriage feasts, and vintage inga,her-
ings, yet they come with flower and tear, to tes-
tify to their sympathy in the sorrow Of the land
and their undying appreciation of their gallant
dead. What better Offering has sorrow or grief
than The timid hearts ease, or the modest fern g?
what purer testimonial of the heart than the
humble violet, planted by beauiy's hand over
the loved oues grave? As the trees that grew
over the grave Of the daughter Of Thracc at sta
ted periods, dropped the tears Of their branches
over Der resting place, so do these noble v omen
come when spring flowers bloom. to plant the

nail handle on the back, then upon the

the wool upon it OF fax or tow will do,
or cotton flannel of several thicknesses will
answer very well. Dip this brush into
dry whiting, and rub the smoke lightly with
the brush, on the upper parts of the room

mains on the wall is easily brushed off with
soft cloth attached to a stick. 1t is very
etfectual if the room is not damp and tho
whiting Is dry.

Pale star, that, with thy sad soft light,
Came out upon my bridal eve,
have song to sing tonight,
Before thou takest thy mournful leave
Since then so softly time has stirrd
That months have almost seemed like hours
And am like a little bird
That slept too long among the flowers,
And, waking, sits with waveess wing,
Soft singing mid the shades of even
But, Oh with sadder heart sing
sing of one who dwells in Hea ven.
The winds are soft, the clouds are few,
And tenderest thought my heart beguiles,
AS floating up through mist and dew,
The pale young moon comes out in smiles
And 10 the green, resembling shore
In silvery troops the ripples crowd
Till all the ocean dimpled o err,
Lifts up its voice and laughs aloud
And star on star, all soft and calm,
Floats up yon arch, serenely blue
And lost to earth, and stepped in balm,
My spirit floats in ether, too.
Loved one though lost to human sight,
