Diaz is trying the old game of Mexican
cunning and bad faith in his maneuvres at
Washington and on the Rio Grande. Wehope
that 1t win not turn out on this as on all pre-
yious occasions that the Mexican beats our
representatives in the game Of diplomacy
After making show of cooperating with our
commander on the Rio Grande to prevent
raiding from his side, Diaz instructs Ire
vino to resist and oppose any execution of the
orders sent to Gen. Ord, and holds out to the
Mexicans that he will defend the soil Of Mex
leo from Dissertation by American foot prints.
Mata, his minister, is striving by various
promises and batteries to cajole Mr.. Evarts
into recognizing him and his government.
Our government will, we hope, be on it's
guard against the arts Of this tricky agent Of
n usurping government, which is bitterly
hostile to our race, people and government.
Any surrender Of the right affirmed in the
order to Gen. Ord will be grave sacrifice of
the interests of the Texan settlers on the
Rio Grande who will never trust to any
arrangement dependent upon Mexican good
faith or power to maintain order and enforce
respect for the rights Of American settlers on
the Rio Grande The thousands of cattle
which have been driven hundred miles from
the Rio Grande, and the houses and farms
which have been abandoned will never be
restored and re-occupied by their lawful
owners, unless the order OF Gen. Ord is main
tanned and vigorously executed. No one will
trust to the promises of the Mexican govern
ment TO assure protection to our people.

The sanitary reports for the last week ex-
hibit very encouraging state of health for
the season and the unusually severe and pro.
longed heat. The death rate was 1919, against
nearly 200 for the preceding week. Of these
there were twelve deaths from smallpox.
This Is rather q remarkable fact, which has
greatly puzzled the faculty, that a disease
which usually prevails in cold weather and
disappears in summer, should have fingered
in our midst through so intensely hot sum
mer rs that Of the last four weeks. The
deaths from all fevers under meteorological
conditions very favorable to that form of dis
ease during the last week were only eleven.
These facts justify the conclusion that our
city will pass through the summer without
epidemical visitations, and will give a very
satisfying report of its general healthfulness.

The New York Times has an elaborate and
rather lachrymose article bemoaning the sad
fate Of President Hayes at the hands of his
friends. 1t admits that he has been far more
tenderly handled by his political foes, the
Democrats. Whereas the latter have only
dwelt on his fraudulent title to the office, -
which, the Times says, does not at all disturb
his complacency and contentment, his friends
are doing him great damage by attributing
to him ideas, policies and interests which are
at war with his pledges, principles and obli-
cations to the Republican party. It is with
these that originated the story of Mr.. Hayes
committal to Garfield for the Speaker
ship, in aid Of the election of Stanley
Matthews to the Senate, which the Times
thinks involved departure from Mr..
Hayes inaugural and the sentiments
he had professed before the election.
This, says the Times, arould hare been a
great error of Mr. Hayes. It does not dare
to say it acas an error, because it pretends to
disbelieve the fact. And so of other designs
ascribed to Mr.. Hayes, such as looking to
grants of subsidies to Southern States and to
an aggressive policy against Mexico, besides
other indications OF liberal policy, and the
too stringent application of-the civil service
idea All these the Times says are fabrica-
tons or are due to the Vaccinations and in
fluences of unsafe friends, and are well calcu
lated to damage Hayes in the estimation of
the Republicans without attracting to him
any sincere good will or support from the
Democrats.
The argument of the Times runs on all tours
with that presented in this paper, namely, that
Mr.. Hayes has placed himself in the extraor-
linary attitude Of political chief claiming

Daring Rob berv,

We learn that very bold case of horse
stealing occurred on Friday night or early
on Saturday morning CD the farm of Mr..
Peter Gettsch. on the Hickory Grove
road, about nine miles from Davenport.
Mr.. g. had been gathering corn on Friday.
and drove bis team and wagon into the
stable at night without unloading the
corn. The next morning the team, wagon,
corn, six brides and a pitch fork were
gone, no one knew whittier. 1t would
seem that some thief or thieves entered
the barn during the night, hitched up the
horses and started off with all the plumber
without alarming anybody. The theft
causes a great loss to Mr. Gettseh, as the
team was fine one, and worth at least
$3.50, while the other articles taken were
valued at fully 500 mere No trace of
the thieves has vet been obtained. though
it is understood that they struck west,
making probably for Muscatine county.

A Chance for the City to Pay Damages

The prospects are that the 9th street
sewer will be Tather an expensive job be-
fore it is completed. The work was COM
menced when the city treasury was
empty, and when there was plenty OF
other necessary street work to do, but
the street and alley committees, the
mayor, and, in fact, majority of the mem
bers of the council, were anxious to exhibit
the engineering abilities Of our city en-
gineer-as 10 that little duck Of road"
and ''posey garden" back Of the High
schooi-and the work was ordered done.
Besides being an ,iUexpedieDt job at the
present time, and one which could have
been deferred until the city was 10 better
financial condition, the sewer is on dis
puted ground-the laud being claimed by
AnawaIt, Denkman 4 Co; and if the suit
now in the Circuit court is decided 10 favor
of the company. damages will probably be
asked of the city for digging the ditch on
their land.
In addition to this, the ditch is open,
and very deep, and where it crosses Third
avenue is in very dangerous condition,
and vehicles aud pedestrians are liable tC
fall into it at any time, no light being
placed at the crossing at night.
Only last Saturday little boy named
Egan fell toto this ditch and was severely
injured. Again, on Sunday, Mr.. VIM
Darby, an engineer on the river, while OF
his way to the upper depot to catch the II
O'Clock train for P.rt Byron, fell into tht
ditch, striking upon his head, bruising hi
face. injuring his back and left side-anC
