within the memory OF many OF the
citizens Of Rock Island, the morning
paper startled the public one morn
ing by a vigorous and vicious attack
on premature activity on the part of
aspirants for political preferment.
The cause of the unusual symptoms
on the part Of the Union was the dis
covery that the willy politician.

for the Rock Island postofiice in
dorsement before the Union, whose
editor had planned 70 make a play
for the same place, realized what
was going on. The upshot Of the
matter was that the sunrise editor
became frenzied with fury and he
gave wav to a species OF revived an

yesterday on the nerve exhibited by
the Seventh warder in pursuing q

vance OF the time for activity in this

A man is what he makes himself, as
