"Benjy Butler has been talking about
finance and some of our contemporaries
say he has blundered. Benny may mix

general, but it is generally conceded
that he ought to be we'll posted on

The Union aud Rock Islander have
again been Sat down upon by the city
council, and it is to be hoped that they
will now stop their wheezy complaints.
They made final effort to capture the
city printing again last evening, and sig>
nally failed. At subsequent attempt to
secure the printing The aid of the Twins
City Typographical Union was solicited
and secured, and last night the Knights
of Labor and the Glass Workers sssocia-
ton rendered their assistance in conjunc-
ton with the former organization.
The aldermen were too keen, however,
to be hoodwinked like the labor organic
ations, by the parasitical journalists. Six
democrats aud three republicans voted to
continue the ARGUS as the official paper,
simply for the reason that one paper was
deemed sufficient, and four aldermen
voted to make all the papers official, wher
bat few moments before they had voted
to adopt the report of the printing COM
mittee, which showed that there was not
enough money in the printing fund to
give all the papers slice of the official
patronage.

GENTLEMEN:-The undersigned would
respectfully call your attention to the
ordinance granting the Rock Island &
Milan Street Railway Co. the right to
construct, maintain and operate dou BILE
track railway for the period of twenty
years over aud across the city's Rock
river bridges Said ordinance has been
in force for about three years and in that
time has proved to be a great detriment
to the business interests of the city, and
will continue to be so as long as the
bridges are occupied by a double track
Wagons, carriages, sleds and vehicles of
all kinds in attempting to cross over these
tracks break down so often that the
bridges are feared and dreaded by the
great majority of its patrons. 1t is fully
believed by the committee that one track
placed on the west side Of the road and
bridges, with switch properly located,
the traffic between the two towns could
be well handled for many years to come. 1t
has been proved beyond doubt that two
tracks over these bridges are a nuisance,
and that one of them should be removed.
The whole matter is referred to the eoun-
Gil for action hoping something may be
done for the relief Of the people.
