Arsenal Appropriations,

The Gazette of Wednesday ALWAYS
toadying to King Hiram) has half
column editorial reciting what wonders
Mr.. Price has performed in Washington
in regard to appropriations for Rock Is
land Arsenal, snd,i It's usual demagogical
way, the Gazette endeavors to make few
votes at the expense of candor and fair
ness, and by misstating or suppressing the
facts as to the condition of the country.
We pass over the implied admission of the
incompetency of Representatives Hender-
son and Tufts, as it is well known that the
editor of the Gazette wants the Republican
nomination for congress and would lose no
opportunity to show, by implication at
least, that they now haye an incompetent
representative. 1t is very plain that
it would have been better, in this district,
to have elected Gen Elliott, as he would
have been in accord with the majority, in
the house, and would have had more in
fluence than Henderson in procuring ap-
preparations. The Gazette says:
Without regard to the actual necessities of the
government. and with utter recklessness OF results
as effecting the efficiency of the military arm OF
the service the Arsenal is made to suffer, and SIX
hundred men are thrown out of employment.
This would sound very we'll if Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport, were the
United States But they are not, and
members of congress, in appropriating
money, ought to look to national not local
necessities Most men in the three cities
would say. appropriate everything we
ask-but cut down appropriations and re-

members of congress who are fit to legis-

They can not see, in time of peace,
and with no prospect of war, and fervent
hope that we may never have another

puts it, require the commencement o.

Struggling to Get Something Back.

The shiftless, incompetent and dishonest
management of the Rockford railroad
matter by the Osterberg ring has so dis
gusted the German bondholders that thew
despair of ever receiving a cent for their
bonds; they gave that up months ago, and
learned that they would have been better
off to-day had they thrown all their bonds
in the fire before they ever had anything
to do with Osterberg. What they are
struggling for, now, is to save some portion
of the 20 per cent which the little rascal
lied them cut Of That's what they are
after now. OF course the Osterberg ring
wish to keep up an impression that Oster-
berg is sustained, as they think it will have
some influence on our courts in the Robin
son suits. They will find their mistake,
ere long. Let them possess their souls in
peace-the coils are lightning around them
and their wind will be shut off by and by
Intelligent people here are anxious to be
rid of the Osterberg ring so that the roaC
will fall into stable hands that will frs
put it in safe condition, and next extenG
it to Rockford if found desirable. The
Osterberg claquers falsely imagine that al
who are opposed to their incompetent an(
dishonest management, and their schemes
for swindling the bondholders and The
public are opposed to the extension of The

here know that the road can neither pros
