and the more enlightened white people
who have heretofore been identified with
the Democracy. Not being permitted by
what has been given out as public senti-
ment to come out publicly and join our
party, they have been restricted to the
limited field afforded by the opposition
with which they find it next to impossible
to cordially affiliate. We see evidences of
this dissatisfaction in the semi-annual
suggestions to change the name of the old
concern. That of Democracy has been
rendered hateful to more than one-half the
voters, and meaningless to the mass of the
remainder. Conservatism was tried for a
time, but that is so negative in its scope
that it never could accomplish any good.
Possibly harm may be prevented here and
there by the exercise of conservative
caution, but no affirmative action is
ever expected from man who can
only say of himself that he is
conservative. An attempt at uniication
failed because the most discordant politi-
cal elements were sought to be drawn into
it at first. It was movement designed
to make all the people one, but they could
never agree as to what that one thing
should be. We leave out the tax resisters
and reformers, since the one proposed to
array themselves gainst the law, and the
other had no public policy whatever which
could not be found in the announced pro-

"Brittainia Rules the Waves.

Sometime since hurley glass cutter,
now of Buffalo, Iowa, took it into his head
to act as canvassing agent, and he procured
subscriptions, at $3.50 each, from several
people in the western part of this city, for
some kind Of publication and picture-a
humbug of course, as all such things are.
Among his subscribers was a jolly English
woman, near the glass works, of solid parts,
weighing about 200 or more, and of firm
muscle. She had frequently declared that
if ever she could get hold of that ''blarsted
scoundrel' she'd whale him sure,-aud
yesterday she was gratifed with a sight of
the "perfeedious rascal" and she sailed
into him without any parley, 1t was a
rough and tumble, out door fight. and over
logs and lumber they had it, sometimes
one was top and sometimes the other, but
at last 'she got him where the hair ives
short and held him. She was top and
she did pummel him good The blood
flowed profusely. There was large crowd
of witnesses who cheered ''the fair daugh-
ter of the British ISLE" until the black
guard yelled for mercy. 1t was bully
fight, and cheers rent the air for the brave
woman who knew her rights and knowing
dare maintain them. ''Rah for hould

Hawley is just the maddest man ut Hobbs :

enough to stick to his master and declare
thatit made no difference withHenry county
Republicans what Rock Island county Re-

were for Hawley anyway, and would stick
for him. And Hawley says if Hobbs had
done the same thing the Henry county
Republican convention would have in
structed for him and his nomination would
have been certain. Asst is, Hobbs's indis-

all the fat in the fire. The editor of the

Great Day for Contractor

for few days past,of men ambitious to DO
jobs for our good Uncle Samuel, to-day be-
ing the day and noon the time for opening
bids, at the Office, in this city, OF Col =.
N. Macomb, U. s. Engineer Corps, tor the
improvement of the Illinois river; and at
the office of Col Flagler, L. S. Ordnance
Corps, at Rock Island Arsenal, for 1900
yards of stone for the next new building at

ILLINOIS RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
The bids for this work were as follows

course will get the job. Mr.. johnson go'
the job previous to this one.

er-post Office, Canton, Fulton county.
ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL.
The number of bidders for furnishing
the 5000 yards Of stone for the next new
building at Rock Island Arsenal was unus
ually large, and from quarries in Illinois
Iowa and Missouri. There were Is regu
lar bids, or bids made in accordance witt
the advertisement, and 3 irregular bids
making proposals not called for. The fig
ures cover 80 much ground, so many anc
50 complicated propositions that they woulG
be of little interest to our readers, mol
will the figures arbitrarily decide who get'
the contract. There are many things t.
consider besides figures, such as quality O.
stone, ability to furnish it, and many 9th
er details. Col Flagler will not make any
recommendation in the matter un-
til he has visited all the quarries
and tested all the stone,-but if we were
to take Yankees privilege and guess
we should guess that Hon. VIM. A. Steel,
of Joliet, will get the job, for the reason
that his quarry is so much superior to any
yet tested, and his facilities are the most
ample for supplying all he contracts to fur
nish
