Wouldn't TRUST our Johnny logan !!

On Monday, Mr. Pratt,of Indiana, in the
Senate, introduced an amendment to the
salary grab bill, providing that all who had
taken the extra pay should return it. and
restoring the salaries to the old sums fixed
before the salary grab bill was passed.
Mr.. Thurman did not see any difficulty
in voting for the amendment of the gen.
tleman from Indiana pratt. He felt it
to be his duty to undo, as far as in his
power, the law increasing salaries. and the
effects thereof
Mr.. Logan thought the money received
by Senators was their private property,
and could not be taken from them. He in-
quired of the Senator ftom Ohio (Thur-
man) if the bill should become law to-
day, and he logan should resign his seat
in the Senate tomorrow, could the Gov
eminent of the United States recover the
money already paid him? He hoped the
Senator from Ohio would answer this ques-
ton.
Mr. Thurman am afraid to answer
The Senator might resign his seat in order
to keep his money. Laughter.
The State of Illinois would gladly pay
Johnny twice the sum involved it he woult
resign and give the Farmers a chance t
name his successor next fall, when the!

Moline Water Works.

On Saturday evening last, the long dis
puted question of supplying our sister city
of Moline with a system of water works
was agreed upon at a meeting sof the city
council of that place, A franchise was
granted to the Moline Water Power compa-
ny, consisting of Charles H.Deere, John NJ,
Gould, Charles Atkinson, their associates
and assigns. By its terms they have the
exc usive privilege for thirty years, and an
equal right thereafter with all others, of
supplying the city of Moline with water.
The franchise compels the water power COM
pany, before the LIST day of July, 1885, to lay
5000 feet of main pipe, the same distance
the succeeding year, and an equal distance
the third year.
Three propositions for establishing gas
works are before council committees, one
of which will probably be accepted at an
early day.
And then our neighbors will have light
and water in abundance.
We are glad of it.
We only wish that George Vinton was
included in the ring with John Gould, fol
| they could then make money enough to
afford to make good their word in regard
to a little bill they owe our Board OF Trade

Among all the up-stairs tenants O

Among all the upstairs tenants of
Mitchell & Lynde's block there isn't pub
lie spirit enough to clean the snow from
the six or eight feet space on the sidewalk
in front of their own stairway. And there
are several other blocks in town containing
tenants of about equal public spirit. Bal
ley Davenport has no such vigorous fault
finders in the whole city as these upstairs
tenants, some of whom never get tired OF
abusing him and the police for not making
people clean off their sidewalks-and they
leave their own walks as standing re.
buke to themselves for their own fault
finding.

The Lower Rapids improvements.

On Thursday afternoon, of last week,
party of gentlemen, consisting of Major
Amos Stickney, U. S. Engineer Corps E.
H. Warrall,J W. Kettle, Major Middleton,
G. P. Comegys, Colonel Archer, VIM.
Brownell, Mr.. High, Robert Maxwell, W.
G. Stripe, and W. H. Anderson, took a
look at the work done at the Desmoines or
Lower Rapids improvement. The Keokuk
Gate City says:
A large part of the work done on this
improvement so far this season has been
performed at the upper end of the canal.
A Golfer dam 1900 feet in length and $50
in width was constructed in order to exca-
vate for the approach to the guard lock
This part of the work is about completed
and the dam will be flooded with water
in few days The engines and pumps
will then be removed to the Golfer dam
below the lower lock, and the work of ex-
cavating commenced there as soon as
the water shall have been pumped out.
The contractors have also partially exca-
waited for the prism of the guard lock,
have the masonry projections of said lock
we'll under way, and have done a large
amount of filling whereabouts. In addition
to this they have excavated in other parts
of the canal, and have repaired the en-
bankment in several places. They have
in all, excavated $4,000 cubic yards of
earth, q 900 cubic yards of rock, and built
l, 100 cubic yards of rip rap wall Their
working force at present numbers about
800 men. They have about five miles OF
railroad track, two engines. and about six.
ty cars, together with all the necessary
tools and machinery. Under their admin
istration the work has progressed rapidly
and satisfactorily. 1t is estimated that
exclusive of the Montrose channel the worl
is about three fourths completed. The
work of excavating is nearly finished ant
the masonry of the middle and lower locks
entirely so. The remainder of the work
will be on the guard lock and embankmen
walls, 1t will require about 100000 t
complete the canal and the work could b,
performed within year if the money wa
available, but with limited appropriations
it is impossible to say when the enterprise
will be finished

A Raft in the Ice.


A raft consisting of SO cribs of lumber,
on which were piled several hundred bun
dies of lath and few punches of shingles,
came down the Rapids on Monday 1t
moved slowly down in the ice gorge. There
were four men upon the raft, and they
made the utmost efforts to land it, and
thus save it from destruction; but all at
tempts proved futile. When the raft
reached point where the old bridge stood,
the men deserted it and succeeded in get
ting ashore on the other side of the river.
1t remained locked in the ice, there, Mon
day night. Tuesday morning the ice COM
menced moving down slowly, and the raft
went with it. 1t got as far as the new
bridge, then struck pier, and went to
pieces. 1t remained there all day, slowly
breaking up into small pieces, and a good
deal of it worked its way down along il
front of this city. In all it contained ovel
100000 feet of lumber, all in good condi
ton. 1t is believed that it broke loose
from its moorings at LeClaire, and wal
then brought down by the ice. twill prob
ably be nearly total loss, as it is so tight
ly wedged in the ice that it will be next t.
impossible to get it out as.it is, while if tn
river breaks up again, it will be torn int
thousand pieces and carried away,
To-day Wednesday, Harry McEdar,
succeeded in getting one crib of it ashore
on this side, but didn't care to try for an
more Of it, as there is danger of being
caught in the ice by its frequent breakin
up and changing position.

what it is. VIII Mr.. Cotton be So kiad as
to send copy of his bill to the local news
papers so that the people can be permitted
to read it? Of course the people are not
much consulted now days about legisla-
ton; somehow congressman and members
of legislatures seem to think that they and
their personal and political friends are the
only ones to be consulted. They seem to
have forgotten that the theory, at least, ofour
form of government supposes that the peo-
pie are the source of all power and that
they are to be consulted in all matters at
fccting their interests. Legislators seem
to have forgotten this, and when they ge'
an office they regard it as their private
property to be used for the benefit of them
selves and their especial friends Th'
people will change that thing next fall
