TOO MUCH LAW.

A meeting of few of the manufactur-
ers of this locality was held at Moline a
few days ago when the question of freight
tariff came up for consideration. The
result of their elaboration is incorporated
in the following preamble and resolution
which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The railroad companies of this state
have generally determined to abide by the railroad
law and conform to the freight tariffs recently
tabshed by the railroad and warehouse commits
manufacturers of the state; and
WHEREAS, The enforcement of any fixed. iron
clad tariff would be detrimental to, If not destruc-
tive Of the interests Of the manufacturers, well
as the general commercial interests Of the people
of this state, by compelling manufacturers to buy
their supplies out of the state, for the purpose of
getting the benefit of Interstate rates. which
be controlled by state legislation or to remove
their manufacturing establishments; and.
WHEREAS, We deem it necessary and proper that
reasonable maximum rates should be fixed by law,
TO prevent extortion and at the time giving the
railroad companies discretion make special rates
Hereunder asst he necessities OF the case may gre
quire to enable manufacturers of this state to
pete with manufacturers OF other states; now there
fore. be it
Res0IUed, That meeting of the manufacturers of
this be called at the Palmer House in the city
of Chicago, ON the 22nd day of December, 1881, at
10 O'Clock M, to take into consideration the fore
going matters, with view of devising a speedy
remedy and to protect the interests of the people OF
the State of Illinois.

STREET CROSSINGS.

At the present time the street crossings are
in a most deplorable condition. Noattempt
has been made by the city authorities to
have them cleaned, and they consequent
~ present about the same uninyiting ap-
pearance as do the streets. Numerous
complaints have been made as to the CON
dition of the crossings located in the bust
ness portion of the city, but SO far they
have resulted IN no Improvement. 1t is
generally believed that the city has street
commissioner whose duties include the su
pervision of the crossings. It is also be-
lieved that he would confer a favor upon
suffering humanity by improving the con-
dition of these crossings, rendering them
halfway passable at the least. Not SO
much nature, and little more artificial
means to dry up the slush is generally de-
manded,

TROUBLE.

Information has been received in this
city which states that the brakemen on
thessouthwestern division of the c. SR. /. &
P. struck at Eldon station Tuesday night.
The strikers not only refused to work,
but also attempted to prevent the run
ming of freight trains by the company,
causing some little Inconvenience and a
good deal of excitement. The main cause
of trouble is said to have originated in a
late order, compelling trains to be run at
the regular Erate of speed and preventing
the making up of lost time as has hitherto
been the case. They clsin that the new
regulation keeps the men at work more
hours than was formerly the case without
additional compensation. The presence

No preparation ever introduced to the
American public, for the relief and cure
of Coughs, Colds, Soar Throat, Debilirated
Constitutions, Weakness of the Lungs, or
Consumption, in the incipient or advanced
stages of the disease, has ever met with
the Endorsements of physicians or patients

The repeated and CONTINUED sales of the
article everywhere are the best evidence
of its real merits. Letters and testimo-
mails from every quarter of the country
attesting the stimulating, tonic and heal
ing effects, are in possession of the pro-
prietors, and can be adduced to convince
the most skeptical reader of its intrinsic
virtues. Further commentator is unLec-
essary and superfluous, as a trial of this
article, having pleasant taste and agree
able flavor, will satisfy all those who are
afflicted or pining away with pulmonary
weak ness of the relief to sbe secured by
