Line property, having been north on the

The following is synopsis of the report
Of the committee on documents OF the
river commission held at St. Louis last
week:
The Belle of Lacrosse came down to-
day. She takes on a large amount of
freight here and at Davenport. and this is
probably the last trip she will make this
season.
This commission appointed by the
states, 20 in number, besides territories
which are chiefly engaged III agriculture
and mining, producing commodities neces-
sarily bulky, and therefore demanding the
cheapest transportation possible. and hav-
ing been provided by nature with water
ways sufficient for that purpose, but which
water ways, By reason of neglect, do not
subserve as valuable purpose as they
might be made to, with adequate appro-
priations for their Improvement, deem
it advisable respectfully to suggest to
congress that, while it does not object to
or seek to interfere with the operations

heretofore appointed by order of congress
to make q full survey of said rivers
and Of the best methods for their
Improvement. yet, recognizing that
considerable time must clapse before ade-
quate appropriations can be made in &C.
cordance with any system they may pre-
sent. il recon- mends, in view of the mag

in the products of these states, that imme
date and edequade appropriations be
made for such improvements as are now
absolutely needed.
We recommend especially enlarged ap-
propristions for the employment and use
of snag-boats on all our rivers. Snags and
hidden distractions constitute at present
the chief OBSTACLE to the successful and safe
navigation of our streams, During the
last few months our commerce from this
source has been subjected to very great
loss.
A communication was read from the
Hon. j. w. McClung. chairman of the
ST. Paul chamber OF commerce, concerning
the effect of throwing sawdust and all other
refuse IN the Mississippi river. 1t was
estimated that at Minneapolis alone there
we're annually dumped into the stream

MRS. viaslow's Soothing Syrup.

Rev. Sylvauus Cobb 'thus writes in
the Boston Christian Freenaan:-We
would by no means recommend any
kind of medicine which we did not
know to be good-particularly for
infants. But of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth.
ing Syrup we can speak from know
ledge: in our own family it has proved
a blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep,
and the parents unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is
harmless; for the sleep which it affords
the iufant is perfectly natural, and the
little cherub aWakes as "bright as

teething, its value is incalcuiable. We

THANKsarvrNa DAY.

A new departure in the observance of
the annual holiday is about to be taken
by the Congress ational church. In a
dimunitive but spicy folio entitled Our
Paper" Pastor Merrill says that tho day
has been less generally observed in Daven-
port than il ought to have been in the
matter OF divine worship One reason for
this has been that the uuion services tend
to remove from the majority OF the mem
bers of the individual churches the sense
of responsibility for attendance upon the
service which they would naturally feel
were ther presence more likely to be felt,
as would be the case were services held in
each church. As some church must take
the initiative in an attempt to remedy this
evil. and as Thanksgiving Day has been
held in especial honor through all its his
tory by Congregationalists, the officers of
the church vote:
lst That we observe Thanks giving
after the custom of our fathers, by the
divine services on THANKSGIVING Day, at
lo4 O'Clock. Nov. 25th.
I'd. That a committee be appointed to
be at the church at that time, 70 receive
any tokens of gratitude for mercies receiv-
ed, and of care for the destitute of our
city.
In respect to the latter, the pastor would
suggest that non perishab!e gifts be made,
as the gifts will probably be bestowed
during several week succeeding Thanks
giving, He would give as samples, an Or
der on your grocer for -four, apples pota-
toes, tea, coffee, sugar: articesao clothing
new cloth. anything which can help the
poor. The aim is not to have large gifts,
but many, and to afford everyone the
pleasure of celebrating such Thanksgiv.
ing in the way spoken of 10 Neh, viii, 10.
The results OF this will probably be that
each denomination will hold union services
of its own on Thanksgiving Day. as a sort
of family reunion, with whom it is a rule
to open each for services Thanksgiving
morning. DAP Dem. 1871

of Early Days In Rock
Island.

Island.
1t is the old settler who delights to tell
You of,old'times and dwells on the incidents
oil forty years ago when Rock Island was
but small viilage-hardly that. There
is q certain pride in the telling of the
stories, which one cannot fail to notice
Well, we can forgive a pardonable pride
in the old settler delight, for it was the
pioneers who paved the way for Rock Is
land as city, and though the present
generation is trying hard to keep pace
with their neighbors. we must not forget
that the old settlers who roughed it in the
early days are entitled to kind remrm-
brance.
Speaking of old settlers reminds Us Of
case in point; but let US ask, Did you
see Billy Brooks to day? Ii you did you
may be able to anticipate the remainder
of this sketch, for if you saw him. you
must have noticed a pleased look. aud OF
course you ascertained the eause. You
didn't, Well then we must tell you, that
William X. Brooks. or Billy as his old
settler friends call him, has been resi-
dent of Rock Island just As years 70 day.
1t was in 1885 that the family came from
Vermont to Galena, by wagon, but they
did not like the place, so MIR. Brooks,
mule to hunt more congenial
locality. He arrived at Rock Island. was
pleased with the place, went back to Ga
lena, told the family and after consulta-
ton they all came to Rock Island. taking
O steam boat from Galena to this point
Here MIR, Brooks has sicco resided, and it
is his pleasure at times to refer TO the
early days when Rock Island was but an
isolated village. Well. all we have to say
is, that If Rock Island had few thousand
BILLY Brooks" the city would be the
gamer. THE ARGUS hopes he and his
good wife and children may live many
years TO come.

The Unions Malice.

The Union thinks it sees the opportu

so. selecting its favorite theme. TIL
ARGUS. The vengefui utterauces of The

however. and hurt none but those who
inspire them.
We said that in publishing the MoreJ
letter we but followed instructions, apd
were led to do so by assurances from those
high in authority and whose reputation.
were unscathed, and that in this regard
We did no more than would the Republican
press under like circumstances. The
Union objects to this and classes it as the
''abdioa,ioD of intelligence and justice aud
fairness and honesty at the behest of a
central political iunta.
Whew. At the same time We repeat
that had the Republican national commit
toe sent forth q statement derogatory to
Hancock and commended that it be given
wide prominence-the Union would
have been among the fret to have
yielded to an ''abdication of inteli
gence and justice and fairness and honesty
at the behest of central political junta. "
And then if denial bad come from Han
Geek. and on top of the denial Marcia,
Jewell had rsafirmed his belief. and
ordered the charge to stand, the Union
would have continued to ''abdieate its
and Justice aud fairness and
honesty, at the behest Of central political
junta," aud with the utmost alacrity. too
would have worn the dog collar. just
as complacentiy as any other paper
The Unions attempt to stand on high
moral grounds for the Republican party is
too thin-there is no political work too
dirty for that party to do. and any request
from party headquarters-from . central
political junta" for instance. would be
cheerfuily obeyed by the Union if in SO
doing it would help the party.
THE ARGUS was not the only paper
which was deceived, and which persisted
in publishing the Morey letter. The lead
ing papers of the country were just as
persistent and even such conservative
papers as the St. Louis Republican
published the letter up to and including
The day of election
The Union thinks it has chance to
vent it's spite on The ARGUS. however.
md hence the high sounding phrases about
'abdication of intelligence and justice and
'airnees and honesty" etc.
THE ARGUS made ..air and honorable
explanation and that's what hurts the
Union.
