The Pike County Republican Of last week
Says "The Magic hog, weighing Ola
pounds, killed by John Frey, few days
since, dressed net weight of 793 pounds,
which gives something more than 10 per
cent for offal, against Berkshire weigh
ing 600 pounds and dressing 5O7 pounds, or
15A per cent. for offal but Mr.. Frey says
the superior quality and quantity of leaf
lard made from the Berkshire, renders the
latter the most profitable. Last year at
Thanksgiving time Mr.. Frey killed Berk-
shire weighing 710 pounds, which dressed
665 pounds, leaving only n per cent. for
ofTal."

An effort is being made in the Lcgisla.
ture to regulate the prices for berths and
statc-rooms in the sleeping cars by reduc-

This is move in the right direction, for

Thus, it will be seen, this bill would re-
duce the salary OF our County Auditor to

Sheriff, TO 81 ,S67; Probate Judge, to 81, 1926

quiring the greatest amount of work, re-
eeives the least pay. Think of paying the
treasurer of this county $500 per year, and
the Clerk $l50l Again, under this bill, the
salaries OF the officers OF Stark county, and
other counties of that class, receive the
the same compensation as the officers OF
Lucas county, although the labors OF the
latter are just about double those of the
former. The provisions Of the bill are un-
lust, and We arc gratifed TO know that its
passage by the Senate Is not probable.

Frederick Douglass struck a chorl in
his lecture at Farewell Hall last evening,
which clearly illustrated how circumstan-
ces alter cases. The hero of Harper's Fer
ry had swooped down to strike his memor-
able blow for emancipation. He had with
him only l8 men. With these he cowed in
to surrender town OF 5000, and the dozen
companies OF militia that came ont to face
him felt compelled to call on the Federal
Government for assistance. The cry rang
out then to crush the seditious insurrection-
lists, and they were surrounded, captured
and executed. Now, when white men, and
colored men, their lives in peril and their
property in jeopardy, ask troops to save
themselves from assassination at the hands
of Ku KIux and White Leaguers, howl Of
indignation runs from one end of the South
to the other at this 'usurpation Of author
ity, and endeavor to protect citizens of the
United States from the murderer and cut
throat. Verify the Southern conscience is
elastic and pliable to every touch OF self
interest.-CHicdgo Inter Ocean, January 6.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT SOUTH
ROCK ISLAND.
All the Parties In Jail,

Last evening about O'Clock as Andrew
Harrison, a colored barber, from New York,
was walking along the road at South Rock
Island, he was attacked by four men, who
knocked him down, and, taking his coat,
vest, hat boots and everything he had in
his pockets, left him lying in the road. AZ
tar recovering sufficiently he went to Milan
and informed the police authorities, and
Marshal Canin and Constable p. J. Hev-
erling arrested four tramps, who, Harrison
said, were the right parties. They gave
their names as Mike Flynn, John Fleming
VIM. Stokeson and Nike Hacket. They
were confined oyer night in the calaboose
there, and this morning had an examina
ton before Justice Dickson, who held then
in bonds of 800 each for their appearance
at next term Of circuit court. Failing tt
get bail they were brought to this city thi
| forenoon and confined in the county Jail
They said they were on their way to Cam
bridge,-probably expecting to rob peopl
at the fair Harrison was also locked up
50 that a witness can be had to convic
these fellows.

Tried to Escape.

The Moline city marshal (Wells) start
ed to-day to bring J. D. Gamble, who
robbed Mars, to Jail, but foolishly allowed
Gamble to persuade him to walk little
out Of town before he took the street cars,
as Gamble was resident and didn't want
people to see him taken to Jail. They
walked along on the railroad track, and
when near the back of Calentzky's saloon
Gamble started to run, keeping himself
between Wells and another man, so Wells
could not shoot him. Wells called to the
man to stand aside,ran after him, fired three
shots, one hitting him in the hand, ant
caught him as he was getting over fence
He is safe in Jail.

The Way They Propose to DO it.

Recently we published a notice of a Sc
cret meeting in Davenport, gotten up by
II. Osterberg, and composed Of certain
persons in this city, Moline and Davenport,
at which Osterberg undertook to show
them how they could make dead loads Of
money by taking the bondholders' elephant
1.-THE R., r. I. Il St. L. K. r. off their
hands. The way he wants them to DO is
as follows:
A new company to be organized with q
capital Of $l,O00,000 actually subscribed,
and payable 10 per cent. cash, 10 per cent.
in three months, 10 per cent. in nine
months, 10 per cent. in twelve months, &c
per cent. in fifteen months, and 10 per cent.
in eighteen months, the residue subject to
the call Of the directors. Pay $2,OOO,OJl
in twenty year bonds, bearing per cent.
interest in gold, payable at Frankfort, Ger
many, semi annually. Pay also additional
to above $640, 900 in cash to be raised by a
preferred mortgage Of 100000, running,
half one year and half two years. Bond
holders may at any time within ten days
after the acceptance Of this by the Com
mittee Of German pOndhOlders, elect to
exchange any or all oftre g, 900, 900 bonds
for an equal amount Of new stock.
Speaking of this proposition the Chicago
Tribune says:
The proposition seems a little strange.
Ia the foreclosure suit the road appeared.
by the evidence of Mr.. Ferry, the auditor,
to be worth from 100000 to 81 100000
and at public sale brought $l,320,00O.
Whether the proposition was intended tc
heishten the value of the road among the
German bondholders and induce them to
reinyest, or whether it was prompted by
an honest desire on the patt of those max.
ing it to really come into possession of the
road, remains to be seen.
People who haye more money than they
or their families will ever have use for car
find no surer means of getting rid Of i
than investing it in the Unsuitable nav @
this Rockford maelstrom. If they could ge
the road for nothing, and could make thu
necessary business connections, they nigh
possibly make it pay running expenses
and necessary repairs. But to pay any
thing more than nominal price for it, anC
fail TO make the most favorable business
ARRANGEMENTS with other roads, will jeap
ordize all the money they put into it. W,
do not wish to discourage from trying it
anybody who has hankering after sucl
ephemeral Investments, but we do no
propose to encourage people to throw thei
money away, or TO part it where they hav
every prospect of losing it.

persons elected aldermen shall constitute
quorum" But the amendment of 1861, |
provides that, "A majority of the mem
bers of the city council shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business"
Are these different phrases used in a care
less, loose and thoughtless way? Not at
ALL They are used with a due sense of
their meaning. and they mean exactly
what they say.
The question is perfectly simple one
and is controlled entirely by the language
used in the law Where the phrase city
council Is used it means the city council,
and includes every member of the council,
not portion Of the members of the
council, but all the membsrs of the coun-
Gil. Where the phrase aldermen" is
used it means all the aldermen authorized
by law to be elected, not Il part of them,
not the city council, the mayor and alder
men, but only the aldermen,
| This, we hold to be fair and legiti-
mate construction, without any petit
Jogging. or quibbling, or evasion.
And we hold that the mayors law, which,
Mr.. Gest says, is now part Of our city
charter, means Just exactly what it says, and
that when it says, in 50 many plain words,
that tWo-thirds of all the members of the
city council authorized by la,o to be elected,
are necessary to disapproye removal
made by the mayor, it means ttCO-thiJris o.
all the members Of the council authorized
by ldU to be elected, and not two thirds Of
all the aldermen authorized by law to be
elected; and as the charter makes the
mayor member Of the city council he
must be counted when an enumeration O
the members is made; and that vote.
are necessary to disapprove of a removal
that number Of votes not having been oh
tanned the council has not disapproved o
any removal made, and the persons re
moved have not been restored

nothing. 1t is party opinion, made t

malcontents get judicial opinion
