ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS,
The Democrats and The ARMY,


| The bill making appropriation for the
support of the army for the next two
years failed on account of the disagreement
OF the senate aud house. There we're va
rious points in dispute, but the vital issue
was the fifth section of the bill as it passed
| the house, which provides that none of the
army shall be used to support the bogus
governments set up by Packard in Louisi-
ana, and Chamberlain 10 South Carolina.
% this point both sides were obstinate.
the Republican majority of the senate
knowing of no use for the army but the &C
complishment Of political PURPOSES, refus-
ed to pass this section, while the Demo
cratic house, determined that the army
should not be made political machine, ad
hered to the bill in its complete form.
After the conference the house voted to
adhere to its provision, and so the bill
failed. The result, we hope, will be that
a large part of the army must be discharg
ed on or before July lst and thus reduce
the burdens Of the people for an unneces-
sary military establishment in time of
peace.
No American congress ever did more
righteous or wiser thing than to denounce
this misuse of the army. and to refuse to
provide for the support Of federal troops
at all, unless under provisions limitioe the
employment of them to the protection in
stead of the subversion of the liberties of
the people. The action Of the Democratic
majority of the house in this matter was
simply palmer and more authoritative
d ciaration Of the principles embodied in
President Grants message of the lst inst.
to Packard. Congress simply clinched
with Statute the telegram of Grant.
which was couched in these words:
In answer to your dispatch of this date the
president directs to say that he feels it his duty
to state frankly that he does not believe public
opinion will longer support the maintenance of the
state government of Louisiana by the use of the
military, and that he must concur in this manifest
feeling The troops will hereafter, as in the past
protect life and property from mob violence, when
the state authorities fail, but under the remaining
days of hisoficia life they viii not be used to es
tablsh or TO pull down other claimants for the con
troll of the state
With this declaration of the outgoing
president on record, the Republican senate
ought not for moment to have hesitated
to acqulesce in the demand of the house.
Unless the Republican party and Mr..
Hayes mean to give the country not peace
but sword, why did the senate refuse to
give guarantees for the good behavior
which some of its leaders have been so
eagerly promising? Let the Democrats in
the next congress stand by the original
bill

This joking brother editor is awful
fun. Almost as much so as it used
to be to sit on the back seat in the old
weather-worn school house, and make
faces at the large girls. This is the
way Bro. Blake, of the Monitor, hits
at c. S. X:
Neighbor Atkins of the argus accuses
kinsley of the Clipper of having the itch.
Guess Hiram is mistaken; Kinsley closed
his seven-years' apprenticeship at that
about two years ago.-Barton Monitor.
We learned the other day why Bro.
Kinsley so frequently hits at us. 1t
seems that he has a little spite against
M. e. clergymen in general, all aris-
ing from the application of an old joke,
which he should forget and forgive.
Several years ago, elder Elkins was
stationed in the town where Kinsley
then resided, and one stormy day as
he was about to drive to an out ap-
pointment, he drove up to the store
steps, where c. s. X. was loafing as
usual, and casually remarked that he
dreaded his drive. Kinsley at once
volunteered to drive out and preach
for him. "Only give me a text and
your team and I'll go willingly" said
the then Merchant prince. "Its a
trade" said the elder, ''here are the
ribbons, and you will find text in
Mum. 22-30, second clause tam
not | thine ASST" We do not claim
for the elder any originality, but he
certainly made the most appropriate
application of the story that was ever
made So clever fellow as "Clint''
ought to forget such a little thing
however.

Not to open any discussion, but TO
impart information ofinterest TO many
in this vicinity, allow me brief space
in regard to the question Of railroad
stations, and management, upon the
p. d O. II. r., which is now receiving
some attention, and very properly, in
my opinion.
For years we have been expecting
some facility for railroad accOmmoda-
tons at or near T. p. Chase's in Fletch-
err, and years since an amount was
pledged for its accomplishment, but as
time passed without completing the
line, changes occurred among the sign
ers which rendered it proper to aban-
don the original proposal, and upon
the completion, this season, of the
road, our people met and discussed
the subject in all of its complications,
when they again supposed an amicable
arrangement had been entered into by
which suitable grounds and building
would be forthcoming, even going so
far as to appoint committees for rails
ing funds and receiving deed for loca-
ton of building and side track. The
timber was well forward toward the en-
terprise, under the administration of
Pres. Brigham, with whom our people
have the most friendly relations, and to
whom we will give credit for his untir-
ing assiduity in the great work of his
life, when the change occurred in the
management by the appointment of
receivers and we found another ele-
ment to approach which is not enjoya-
BILE to our community, and one that to
our common people seems not attrac-
tive, but the reverse; for to say the
least, it seems pains have been taken
by the present manager to make him
self repulsive in his dealings with his
peers, which is unaccOuntable. 1t
seems to be n question well establish
ed among business men that common
courtesy is the pleasantest way to APP
proach the human race, in all of the
relations Of life. And when we no.
tice men taking the opposite course,
we naturally leave them to their own,
and sooner or later expect to see them
find their normal condition which is the
mind of our people in this community
with regard to existing circumstances,
and must be the excuse for the delay
in operations by our committee, and
sufficiently answers questions so often
made of late, regarding the station for
the benefit of the towns of Bakersfield,
Cambridge and Fletcher. l remain,
as ever, yours truly,

LOVE AMONG THE GREEN NOUN

In the summer of 1874 DR.. ", of
this city, sent both of his beautiful
twin daughters to rusticate in the
Green Mountain district, Vermont.
Of course the young ladies', who pos
sessed the refinement and polish gen
orally characteristic of our Brooklyn
maidens, were not long in the littleGreen
Mountain village before they had scores
OF rustic admirers bowling at beautys
shrine. One had already given
her heart to another, and the adora-
ton of the Green Mountain lovers had
no effect on her. The other was be-

had lovers at every turn, but there was
a tall, sun-burnt, curly-headed fellow,
mailing from Bennington, who out
stripped all the other Green Mountain
boys in his attentions, and loves la
Dor was not lost, for when the fair
Miss Ella left for her Brooklyn home,
after three weeks sojourn on the
Green Mountain slopes of Vermont,
she was the affianced wife of the young
chap from Bennington. 1t was all
done in an uncommonly short time.
The lady met him "by chance, the u.s.
ual way" at the house of the acquaint-
ance with whom she was sojourning
there were few tete-a-tetes, a few
quiet walks and one day the pater
tdnt(tds at home was astounded by
the intelligen, that his beautiful and
accomplished daughter was the be-
trothed wife of clean, lanky Ben
nington boy" and it became appar-
ent to the young fiancee that her pa.
rents did not believe in the adage that
nothing is SO sweet as loves young
dream.
Proud of his wealth, and prouder Of
his patrician ancestry, it was with un.
speakable rage that the father discov.

COMPLAINT AGAINST THE 40.

We clip the following from the St.
Adams Messenger, and insert it in onr
columns, because we really think there
is reason to complain Of the manage
ment Of the p. & o., especially at
this end Of the route. 1t affords but
little local travelling accommodation.
Possibly they are doing all they can
and we are simply expecting from
them what is impossible. If this is so
we would like to see it officially de-
clared and explained. Not only is
there no connection with the B. & L.,
but the connections at Swanton are
such as to disgust the travelling pub
lie. There is a certain class of men
that do a great amount of advertising
for railroads and hotels, advertising
them favorably or otherwise. They are
the commercial travellers who peram-
bulate the country in little knots of
from two to half dozen, the most of
them usually discussing women, ho-
tells, railroad, &C., and though we
may not always entertain for them as
class the deepest regard, it is not
advisable for a hotel or railroad to
come into their disfavor. That the
p. & 0. is receiving their severest
censure is q fact. We have the
road, it is true, and ought to make the
most of it, and say nothing to en-
barrass it, for as all know, it is bank
rupt, but yet, even though it be bank
rupt, embarrassed, &C., it is no rea-
son why it should not be atleast frank
and courteous and use those whom If
has ruined as though it retained
some sympathy for them if moth
ing more. Many good things have
been sad by the state press about our
townsman, President Brigham, but as
tohis devotedness to the interest of the
T. 80. road, it cannot be exaggerated,
and though it may be vain hope, vel
we do hope that in time, we shall see
him remunerated for it -
Editor Of Messenger: Your col.
umns have been open to the public.
for the proper discussion of all such
questions as interest the welfare OF
your many readers, and for one, vou
have my sincere thanks, for you truly
make your paper a family educator anc
one that is welcome to most every
home in our midst.

Methodist brethren in the ministry
speak of being shook up every spring,

drops them off here and there, to the

generally, to the surprise of all. But

similar shaking been given this year TO

Our readers who are accustomed TO
drive horses in the winter, especially
in northern climates, need not be told
of the great necessity Of sharp calks
for their horses shoes. To keep them
so, in many sections, is a constant
source of expense, trouble and injury
to the horses hOof, while to neglect
them is dangerous both TO horse and
driver. Messrs. Thistlewood & Co.,
of Pittsburgh, Pa, are manufacturing
a shoe which is selfsharpening. 1t is
made of thin LAYER of cast steel
rolled between two layers Of charcoal
iron. Among the advantages claimed
for these shoes are tho following: The
iron being much softer than the steel,
wears away, and thereby leaves the
thin, hard steel projecting, which,
forming a perfect edge, remains sharp
until the calk is entirely worn down,
thus saving sharpening and a conse-
quent large amount of expense to the
consumer. The use of these shoes
prevents the destruction Of the horses
hoof, which often occurs from too fire.
quent mailing. The steel being laid
between the upper and under surfaces,
and extending entirely around the
shoe, the nails must necessarily pass
through the steel, which, being harder
than iron, prevents the nail holes from
wearing. 1t very much stiilens the
shoe without any liability of breaking.
