1T Will BE most unfortunate If Mr.. Dana
should prove unworthy of being Mr..
Schenck's successor. We desire to regard
Mr.. Dana as an honorable man, and well
fitted for the English mission, and did
think the President had been mcst felici-
tous in his choice of a gentleman to repre-
sent us at the Court of St. James, mas
much as Mr.. Dana had the reputation ot
being man of high literary culture. We
rejoiced that his style of literature was an
improvement of the poker literature Of
Schenck, but like our contemporary, the
Pittsburgh Leader, we are free to say that
we would rather have the author of an
original essay on the noble game Of poker
to represent the American nation than 9
plagiarist of the finest book ever published
on international law. Literary honesty il
preferable to literary excellence" 1fit ii
true as charged, that Mr.. Dana was con
victed ia the United States Court of having
stolen the copyrighted notes Of "Wheaton''
Law of Nations" from Wheaton's widow
and issued them in book Of his own, thel

There is an honest ring about the follow
ing utterances, that is delightful. Rev.
vannote of the Pittsburg Gazette says: No
morbid pity should interfere with the stern
and severe punishment of Secretary Belk-
maps crime; and Forney of the Philadelphia
Press says: THE vulgar lust for riches has
eaten away the honor of high officials and
the country can only be saved by the ap-
pointment of honest men to office" In
these sad times it is pleasant to know that
there are still some pure patriots to raise
their voices for honesty in public station.

MANY enthusiastic citizens of the country
are sorely troubled about the ringing of the
State-house bell. They want it rung on the
Fourth of July, and they want Grant to
ring It, Would it be right to wake up the
old bell after its long silence, while thou
sands of the heroes ofits time, who listened to
and greeted the ringing out of the memora-
Bile proclamation, like itself have long been
hushed?.
Well, if the old bell must ring on the
coming Fourth of July, let the old crack be
soldered up, and let the Imperial Ceaser pull

the ragged end of bis advisory council may

CoRDovA
Cordova, the most northerly town in
the county of Rock Island, Illinois, is
pleasantly situated on the eastern shore of
the Mississippi river, about twenty-three
miles north Of the city of Rock Island, and
is supported on the northeast and south by
farming country second to none. The
entire township of Cordova is level prairie
bordered on the west by the Mississippi
river and on the east by the Meredosia.
To the south and east of the town the land
is high rolling prairie. The village of
Cordova mot incorporated numbers about
five hundred souls. The settlers are
mostly eastern people and principally from
the states of New York, New Jersey aud
Pennsylvania, with sprinkling from Ohio,
Virginia and other places.
Many Of the old settlers have died or
removed, but quite number are still
living. In the year 1885. A. r. Rathbun
came here from McDonough county,
Illinois; j, Cool, ST., and John Marshall
came from New Jersey, and four brothers
named Butcher came from Randolph
county, Virginia John Marshall, Theo.
Butcher, and man by the name Of Pearcy,
located three claims in kind of copartner-
ship: one where the town Of Cofdova now
stands and the farm where r, K Nc
| Cormick now owns, and one overthe Mere
dosia. In division made between them,
John Marshall obtained the town and the
| bluff part of what is now the Allen place.
Theo. Butcher took what is now the Nc
| Cormick place. At that time there was
no dwelling in what is now Coe township,
Butcher building the first, and there were
but two houses in what is now Cordova
\ township one on what is now the Crosby
property near the mouth Of the Meredosia,
and one where the village of Cordova now
stands. The last named was log cabin,
and stood near the upper steamboat land
ing. 1t was built by man named East,
oldest or first settler. In the year 1886
Capt. James May, John Marshall, and
Archie Allen laid out the old town Of
Cordova; the plat was surveyed by G. w.
Rathbun. Since that time two additions
have been made (Marshali's and 5. Brig
ham 81. Of the original propretors of the
town, but one is now living, Capt. May.
AS the country became known, the friends
and old neighbors Of the pioneers left their
eastern homes and joined their friends in
what was then the far west. In 1883
twentv-one persons from Marshall's Cor
ner, in what is now the county Of Mercer,
New jersey, settled IN and near Cordova.
Amongst these were the Cools, Marshalls,
Sections, and others The journey from
New Jersey to the Mississippi was made in
wagons. Railroad facilities at that early
day were not known. They had not the
luxury of Palace cars, but what was bet
ter, stout hearts and willing hands to
carve out and make their own future,
which has generally been well done, and
the parties are now reaping the reward of
their toll and privations At later date
came the Ketchums, ,Johnstons, Rakes,
Abbotts, and others. Port Byron Weekly
