CORRECTION.
In our report OF the proceedings of the
Criminal Court in the Perry burglary and
Snyder release cases, the name of Darlington
enormously appeared among those mem
TONED by District Attorney Wells in his
recapitulation OF the parties charged with
wrong doing in connection with those cases.
The name mentioned by him In this connec
tion was that of VIM. NJ. Evans, instead of
the one enormously printed. The mistake is
regretted, because no person named Car
connected with those cases In any manner
whatever.

Judging from the local columns of our

come portion of Rock Island. Union
And judging from the local columns of
our neighbor the duty of public journal
is to poke It's nose into every mans back
yard and tell all about his clothes line, his
ash ran and his pig pen. If any man has
nailed board on his fence, painted his
back door, bought new milk pail, swept
off his front steps, topped out his chimney,
sold dozen of eggs or BACKED his boots,
you are sure to find it noted in the Union,
in fact there has been two columns day
Of just such unimportant trash ever since
Haverstick left the paper; utterly worth
less trash, of no public or general interest,
and every person who has spent the neces-
sary time to hunt through it, daily. for an
idea or an item of news of any sort of
general interest has felt ashamed to waste
SO much time on such trifing subjects. A
paper thus conducted cannot be expected
to take any interest in the preservation OF
civil freedom, or to curtail Its TRASHY back
door items in order to lay before its read
ers the dangers which beset the republic.
