bers being present. the mayor presiding

therefore called the council together.
The clerk read the following:
Rock ISLAND, Ills, May g.
Henry Garse, Esq, Mayor,
DEAR SIR-Belieying that the removal
of the water works, to some point where
wholesome water can be obtained, is neces-
sary for the protection of the health and
even of the lives of our citizens, propose,
in view of the present financial condition
of the city, to pay the necessary expenses
of said removal, not exceeding the estimate
of sea, 900, heretofore made therefor, pro-
vided only that the same shall be accom-
plished during the year 1881.
Truly yours, P. L. CABLE.
The following resolutions were therefore
offered. and Aid Lundy moved their adop-
ton:
WHEREAS, Mr.. P. L.Cable, in appreciation of the
wisdom of removing the water works to point
where more healthful water supply can be obtain
ed and the financial difficulty of making the change
on the city part, has offered to bear the expense
of such removal; be it

not forgotten the struggles of the past for human
rights and human liberties, and we do not intend to

We are here to say to the world that as a people

Il Is curious TO see the desperate efforts
made by such Republican papers rs the
Tribune and the Erenipg Post to confuse
the issue in Virginia. The former diSlikes
10 confess that Reputation is o Republican
principle. It squirms and wrigglCs and
writhes like q shark on hook at the end OF
a cable. II really cannot quite c0ncede that
debtor has the moral rignt to pay his cred
itor what he plea,eS and when he plclSeS,
telling the aforesaid creditor il he does not
like what is offered he may help himself il
he can. But that j. the Malone doctrine,
and the Tribune knows il, bnt supports
him Notwithstanding. 1t says as an excuse
that the Democrats propose 10 fund The debt
at three per cent, which is great wrong to
the creditors Of the State, who have been
sOlemnIy promising twice that sum. But
Mr., Window did moi tbiDk Il great wrong
10 the holders Of six and FIVE per cent.
United States bonds to offer to exchange
them for bonds bearing three and a half per
cent, and all the Republican papers Of The
country eXt9lled his proposition and took
credit for It's success. Money which ten
years ago was worth six per cent. can now
be got without difficulty for three. The
Iribune'S comparison i absolutely point
tween Teiunding a debt at lower rate Of
interest when money is cheap and repudia-
ting the debt altogether. And this is what
Malone proposes 10 do. He and his parti.
sans propose TO repudiatc 2l2 900, 600 Of the
Virginia State debt at once, and to pay the
remaining $40, 900, 900 when ii is convenient
to do so; and they propose to abolish the
pOll-taX altogether, and promise 10 reduce

BILE effort TO refund debt at a reduced rate

Of it at once, and prOspec,iyeIy repudiating
oil the rest OF it? Its editorial on the SUBJ
ject Is the s0rriest substitute for sound
reasoning printed even in that paper for
many a day. The Evening Post is opposed
to the reputation plank of the Mahone
party, but II supports Malone nevertheless
In the hope that be will break up the Old
parties in the State. Ii dislikes Malone as
a financier, but reioceS in him as dynamite.
ANYTHING TO blow the Democratic party to
pieces. This Is the way OF the Nihilisls.

assassination as Mr.. SehurZ is TO repudia-
tion; but, like Mr.. Schurz, be wanted TO
break up the existing order OF things, and
shot bullet into the Presidents Yitals as
the shortest way TO effect his purpose. Mr..
SchurZ will find that Malone is hard sub
