One Voice Out OF Many.


At last people are beginning to SEQ Presi-
dent Arthur as he is. Take the country as it
was eighteen months ago. and as it is now,
and no better Endorsement was ever known
for an administration. And in party sense
we may repeat the declaration Where every
thing was turmoil aud bad blood, everything
is now quiet with confidence and good feel
ing. Whether Gen. Arthur has ambition for
another term, no man knows, nor has
single act betrayed such wish
or design. He has simply done his duty
as it arose, and with an impartiality
and consideration to all divisions of the
party, all sections of the country, and the
leading men Of the organization as to COM
mand confidence and extort compliment. No
man ever took the executive office with such
delicate responsibilities, and the result is all
the evidence needed of wise discretion and
patriotic purpose, And that is all tho party
need ask AS 1t is all the country required.
1t is time that those who have no other OBJ
iect but the good of the people and the sue
cess of the party at heart should express
openly what is the universal sentiment of the
people.

States deputy marshals to-day made a sortie
upon the cabin occupied by Matthias Schaefer,
aged 81, and his daughter Katie, and which
stands upon tract of earth, the title to which,
after years of litigation, has just been decided.
The marshals were instructed by the
United States court to eviOt the
tenants and raze the cabin. They were met
at the door by tho old man armed with a pig
sticker, and his daughter, Kate, with kettle
of boiling water. A brief parley was fol-
lowed by briefer skirmish, which resulted
in tho posse retreating in disorder, with one
wounded and several scalded. Reinforce
ments are expected in the morning, when
hostilities will be renewed.
Francis Pyles, colored, visited his divorced
wife, to-day, and asked her TO marry him.
When she refused, he drew revolver and
fred, the bullet passing within an inch of
her skull. She fed out of the back
door, purchased a revolver. hunted up
her paramour, Leroy Hayes, and gave him
the weapon. The couple then returned
to the house. Hayes opened fire on Pyle,
emptying soven barrels, while the woman
bazed away at him with a shotgun. Before
blood was shed, however, posse of police ar
rived aud arrested the belligerents.

horse railway shows the folly of having
cheap and easy travelling facilities; that
all interests should band together to keep
the people from buying few dollars
worth of goods, where they wish to buy;
and that 'Murphy's horrid hil' should be
looked after at once" After all this the
writer says:
Then let us rip up the track of the
Moline and Rock Island horse railway, and
last of all, though not the least let the
ferry be wound up. As soon as these
matters are attended to and accomplished
the grand future in store for this section
of the country is everlastingly estab-
lished."
We suppose the object of the commu-
nication is to show the folly of attempting
to limit or circumscribe the avenues of
trade and commerce. That day has
passed. The locality which grapples for
and catches on to grand improvements
like the horse railway is the one that will
win in the end. The town that fails to
do it will get left.

of this community; that the convenient
