The Same Ali Over.

Everybody knows whas a grand and
spontaneous jollifcation 4 ere was in Rock
Island in less than an hour after the news
Of the nomination OF Tilden was received.
Bands Of music paraded the streets fol
lowed by great numbers Of PEOPLE hurrah-
ing for Tilden; bonfres bla2 i; flags were
raised; and cannon roared out welcome
to the nomination. No mistake this
time" was on everybody's lips. Well,
what was true of Rock Island, was true all
over the country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, as kilograms show. The people
were ycjoc.d that the right man had beer
nominated, and they are bound to elect
him. The quick response to Tildea' nom
ination shows how the current RUS. 1t il
the same all over. Nobody is SO blind as
not to see that Tlden is the favoritc, anG
that l6 years without change are enough
for any party to remain in power. Toe
long in power makes any party extravagan
aud wasteful and corrupt The people
are bound to have q change now,

The Moline Dam.

A Republican United States senate is
still puttering over the civil service avpro-
priation bill. which 1t ought to have passed
as soon as it was received from the house.
Among the amendments the senate has
made is one for $25, 900 for dredging sand
out of the Moline mill pond. But the SEN
ate has not yet passed the bill. We hope
the house will appropriate ali the money il
can, consistent with economy, for the Ar
senal and for work on the Island, but not
a cent for the Moline Water Power Com
pany, for we do not believe that water
power will answer the wants of the United
States at the Arsenal, and it is wrong tt
use the public money to enrich a private
corporation or private individual.

What shall be said of the miserable
demagogueism displayed by the post office

concur in the necessary appropriations, and
has not yet done so. The readers of the
Union deserve public sympathy, and the
editor of that paper deserves public con

A FACTIoUs REPUBLICAN SEN
ATE
It Refuses to Pass Necessary Appro.
priations.

A Democratic house passed all the
appropriation bills in time for the Repub
lican senate to concur, if it chose to do So
and thus prevent any stopage Of necessary
work, In the aggregate these bills APP
propriated $l3S, 400, 358, pa reduction Of
$39, 42l ,96l,5 80 from the amount approprla-
ted year ago. In round numbers, the
Republicans, a year ago appropriated It's
millions in the IL annual appropriation
bills, This year the Democrats appropria-
ted 1873 milions-a saving of 40 millions.
The Republicans refused to concur in the
passage of these bills because they wanted
larger appropriations more money to
handle IF work is stopped anywhere, it
is because Republican senate factiOns5g
refused to concur IN tie appropriation bills
previously passed By Democratic house
because the Republicans refuse to cut
dewn expenses and try, by that means, to
relieve the people of burdensome taxation.
Grant and a Republican senate are engag
ed in an effort to bully Democratic house
into an extravagant and unnecessary ex-
penditure of the peoples money. They
threaten to stop the wheels of government,
unless the Democrats will consent to place
| in their hands the enormous sums Of money
they have been accustomed to eXpend
The people elected Democratic house fol
the purpose of cutting down expenses and
taxes and exposing corruption, and a
Democratic house will not disappoint The
people in that respect.
But in order to give the Republicans ;
chance to reflect on their factious course
the Democrats, last evening, passed an ac
providing, among other things, as follows
after the thrtieth of june 1876 unless the regula
appropriations shall have been previously made 70
the of the fiscal year ending the thirtet
of June, 1871 il shall BE- lawful to for the
sary service OF the government any unexpendet
balances which may exist OF the appropriation
III Ide for the service OF the government for tn
year ending June Both, 1876
This gives the Republicans a breathing
spell for a few days--a chance TO re
feet on. their unjustifable and faction
course. At the end of that time, i
they do not pass the appropriation bills
then let them call home our foreign minis
tiers and consuls, dismiss their office-hold
ers, shut UP the post offices, an
go before the people on the issu
of retrenchment and reform, aud see wEer
they will land. They'll be in a worse haz
than they are now til den let US waite
the factious Republican senate which re
: fuses to pass necessary appropriations fc
