An End to the Proceedings.
Inc Peoria Transcript OF yesterday
morning contains the following with
reference TO the disposition of the Henne-
pin canal condemn alton suits in the United
States court:
Yesterday in the United States court
the Case OF the condemned lands along the
proposed route of the Henuepin canal was
tahen up. Earlier in the term this case
was expected to mean long litigation. and
IL was planned to impanel the iury here
ana then lake them to Rock I.land spd
over the canal route. But the case came
10 sudden termination. After the iury
mad been impaneiled it was announced
that the entire matter had been comprom-
ised. There are SO land owners inter
asted IN the proceedings. and all of them
had entered into an agreement to settle
without further litigation. All that re-
NAMED for the jury to do was to settle
The question of damages in some cases
where 1t had not already been done.
The principal property hclders obtain
ing Judgment were as follows:
David Payne, $3.50; A. Peterson, S437;
P. Hatnagel. $49S 20; Swan johnson.
Souo; L Fries, 81 ,430; Vandruff heirs,
S46s5O; Hanson heirs, $S12; Merritt
Goeole. 1884; c. W. Mosher, 81 344;
ID. b srs' Sons, 50 500; NJ +. John.
son, 81, iS9; John Tindall. S1,196; Ham
nah Newberg, $500; NJ. Bochm,u, 1925.
There were some so other small claims,
Dsniel Bal receiving SO. and G NJ u
Zen $50, while the remainder were 81
each. 1t was expected that there would
be claim of 5000 from D. L. Cunkle
for water power Improvement in front of
the town OF Milan. but this was dismissed,
as stated in last nights ARGUS. The CITY
of Rock Island and the town of Milan
gave all the desired right of way across
certain highways, conditional on the con-
stzuction of bridges. and contract of
similar tenor which is subject to ratifca.
tion by the secretary of war, was taken
coguiz snce of.
The condemnation Of this right of way
leaves no obstacle in the way of the exc.
cution OF the contracts for the work
The plans and specifications are all in
shape Bids by contractors will have tc
be invited. contract made, opened in due
form, deliberated upon. and contract:
awarded. This furnishes a good deal Of
clerical and official work, and will occupy
a considerable amount of time. The
contractors cannot do anything befor,
next spring. Frost will be in the way O.
work in very short time. and there will
be nothing to do but to wait. For this
delay. as the Democrat truly states, tn,
people of Rock Island, Davenport, anC
the west have TO thank the untiring en-
ergy that left unturned no ston,
that could posi- oly be placed as stun
bling block In the path OF the work
One whole season has been lost ant
nothing has been taneibly gained by thu
delay. 1t remains to be seen whether o
not the work of obstruction will be con.
tinued next season.

well set forth in The River, yeritsble
rivermen's advocate. published at St.
Louis. 1t says:
With the influence in congress that the
opening of the Hennepin canal would
bring from Chicago and the great north
west, the people could ask for double the
appropriation now asked for and get it.
In unity there is strength" and the
more people we get interested in western
rivers the more money we will get, and if
we ct the money and have it come stead

boats to be seen on any part of the Mis-
sissippi river than on the Hudson.

Something Useful.

Probably the most useful
thing I have received this fall,
is an alcohol lamp, stand, and
kettle, all brass, which / am
now showing. 1t is pretty
enough to be ornamental, and
cheap enough for any one. For
the sick room. or for any one
who wishes to heat say a quart

they are just the thing.

Pure Grape Juice.

An old German who has been making
wine in this town for many years past not
long ago conceived the idea of selling I'M
fermented grape juice by the glass. Ac-
cordingly he set up a little cider press in
the front of his establishment and adver-
tised grape juice at five cents glass. He
buys grapes by the crate and squeezes out
the juice right before the eyes of his Gus
toners. He pours it into glasses from a
stone pitcher, and it is an uncommonly
popular drink because its purity is abso-
lutely assured.-New York Sun.

An Effort to Sneak.

Dogs in native or wild state never bark;
they simply whine, howl and growl The
noise which we call barking is found only
among those that are domesticated. Co
lumbus found that to be the case with the
dogs he first brought to America and left
at large, for on his return he tells us that
they had lost their propensity to bark. Sci.
entific men say that barking is really an eff
fort on the part of the dog to speak.-Har-

Not Done With Yet.

The most sustaining Republican hope for
FAssETT is that the facts Of his party's be-
trayal OF New York In the matter Of the
Worlds Fair will prove to be old ammuni-
ton. as Mr.. PhATr himself puts it. They
were used last year with great efficacy in
crushing the Republican-Mugwumpa alliance
against the Democrats in New York city,
and at least one section Of that movement
hope that they are too old for effect now.
The last Of this Republican treachery was
not heard last year. nor will the last Of 1t be
heard In the year 1891.
The theft OF the Worlds Fair will DO
fresh In politics until the Democrats have
rung Republican defeat on every bell In the
electoral steeple. Its usefulness for Repub-
lican punishment was not used up by its in
fuence In electing Mayor Of New York city
In 1880. It will help to elect a Democratic
Governor Of New York In 1891 and q Demo-
cratic President In 1892,

We give to-day the testimony Of two very

thom Of tho treatment OF drunkenness by
DR.. KELLEY at Dwight In Illinois. Both Of
them arc satisfied that they are surely aud

are over eight hundred men and women
under treatment at Dwight. and they In
their turn will swell tho multitude who pro-

question whether DR.. KELLEY Is justified In

tho theory that oure by such means Is I'm
possible.
A largo part OF tho patients who have been
treated by Dr. KRRLHY are men Of supe-
rtor order Of intelligence. and their tesu-
mony accordingly commands unusual re-
spect. The attention Of many. II not most
OF them was first called TO the Dwight In
sttution by descriptions Of It published in
THE Sun. and they subjected themselves to
the treatment as an experiment about which
they were hardly less skeptical than arc
these medical critics. Having been cured
as thcy firmly believe. their rejoicing is all
the greater because OF their original nisgiv-
ings. and they Join in celebrating the rem
ody as duty they owe to all who suffer
from tho distressing disease.
1t is volume Of testimony 80 great and
30 unanimous that 1t must DO impressive
1t cannot be dismissed as mere dolusion.
At least temporarily these men have been
cured beyond all question. and in some OF tho
cases years have passed. without any reap-
pearance OF the disease. Almost every
day while was there" writes one OF our
correspondents. men who had been cured
years ago came TO SEQ the piuce again. say

full In effecting the change In them,
the transformation itself has occurred
and continued, as they themselves show
and as their neighbors bear witness. Even
II time shall demonstrate that the proper
tonate number Of permanent cures Is very
much less than the 95 per cent. claimed by
DR.. KELLEY. 1t will still DO great enough to
Justify trial OF tho treatment. Undoubt-

Infinitely moro II he should lay his remedy
before the whole medical world. and 1t

One startling fact III Commissioner
EAuM's annual report for the Pension Blu
roau should command tho prompt attention
OF the Fifty-second Congress.
There arc now borne on the pension list.
twenty-six years after the end OF tho war.
tho names OF b2o.l5s persons claiming to
have fought for the Union. This is ex-
elusive OF widows and childrens pensions
ON account OF tho civil war. Including pen
sioncrs OF the latter class, and the compare
lively insignificant list Of pensioners on ac-
count OF tho Revolutionary war. tho war OF
1872. and tho Mexican war, tho grand total
q &C. 160.
Now. IL is stated by Gen. RAUM that tho
total annual value Of tho 676.lGO pensions
which the Government was paying on June
DO of this year is $s0.247.2OO.
At the same time the Bureau reports TINT

This enormous margin OF about thirty

ondly. the stupendous cost Of running tho
machinery which Gen. RAUM boasts will
turn out 100000 now pensioners during tho
present year.
How much OF tho thirty millions belongs
to arrearagcs and how much to Bureau ex-
pcnses. we have no means OF ascertaining
from the published summary Of the Com
missioners report. The arrears account
does not appear. Tho figures necessary to
IN exact understanding Of tho situation arc
jumhled. hopelessly and apparently inten-
tionaly: and for years this same vagueness
respecting the payment OF back pensions
has characterized the bookkeeping OF tho
Bureau.
But the main fact Is perfectly clear. This
fraud on the taxpayers Of the United States
has grown to such colossal Dimensions that
the mere margin OF difference between the
net annual value OF all the pensions paid
and the actual gross expenditures Of tho
Bureau now exceeds tho entire pension list
OF fifteen years ago.
Is 1t not high time for the honest scnti-
ment Of the country to stop this business?
