KENWOETHY & BEABDSLEY,
THE SLANDERS OV THE BLONDE LITTLE
SHEET
They are Bepeated by the Chicago Times to the
Injury of Bock Island.
The itemizer for the Chicago Times, of
yesterday, says :
The citizens of Rock Island have arrived at toe
conclusion that their police department la utterly
corrupt, and more than suspect that the whole city
government is about as bad.
This is a very serious charge to make.
and in a paper having the circulation of
the Chicago Times it becomes a very dam-
aeiriK one. It affects the honor, the integ
rity, the good name, the prosperity ot all
our people.
The charge is false in every particular.
The citizens of Rock Island have arrived
no such "conclusion," nor is there the
Cowardice and Inefficiency.
From the Chicago Times.
The business of robbing railway trains
seems to have become a regular profession.
Within a very short time three trains have
been stopped,their mails and express pack
ages rifled and their Dassengers plundered.
In all these instances, the strength of the
robbers has been ridiculously disproportion
ate to that ot the robbed. In the last
case, at Gad's Hill, in Missouri, five bri
gands first captured and robbed everybody
at the station, and then proceeded to stop,
overpower, and plunder a train wnicn car

at
slightest ground for arriving at any such
conclusion and the Times does great in
justice to the people of this city by making
itself a vehicle to promulgate the viletalse
hoods of Levi Michael Haverstick, the ed
itor of the Union, a man who has rea
sons for not liking the people of Rock Isl
and or their city government.
Levi Michael has a horror of all police
men because one of them kicked him into
the gutter, That man was an unsuitable
man for the position of policeman, and he
has been removed from office and we hear
that he has left town. But because we
happened to get one unsuitable man on the
police force (who has been removed) is
that any reason why Levi Michael should
slander the wlme force?
Levi Michael has a reason for r.ot liking
the mayor, for the mayor detected him in
collecting the same bill twice from the peo
ple's treasury, and exposed him. lhe
mavor also turned him out of the position
of one of the Directors in the Library
Board. Of course he don't like the maj
or, and thinks the whole city government
corrupt because he v a detected In collect
ing a bill twice!
Levi Michael don't like Rock Island. Mr.
(Jrant kicked him out of the post office, and
the people seemed rather glad of it. Of
course he don't like Rock Island and will
do what he can to injure our people but
ought the limes to aid him in his slander
ous efforts ? Our people think not.
The citizens of Rock Island never had so
reputable, honest, sober and efficient a po
lice department as the present year. No
vear can be cited when so few crimes have
been committed here or when the crimi
nal classes have been so closely watched.
The only disreputable man on the police
force was denounced and exposed by The
ABACS and has, since, been removed,

denounce him and demand his removal
is to the city government, we never
had a better one. At the close ot this ad
ministration the city debt will be less than
at its beginning. Our taxes have been re
duced one-half ; our streets and alleys have
been kept in better and cleaner order than
ever before ; no virulent diseases or epi
demics have prevailed during the year :
order and health everywhere preserved.
and the credit of the city never better.

nrecludes the necessity tor any made

ingredient to add to them when they are

ternut surrounded and guarded the 10 or
15 inhabitants of the station. Another
guarded one side of the train, and a third,
the other side. The fourth brigand cap
tured and took possession of the three or
four men who had charge of the mails, ex
press matter, and baggage. The fifth man
entered the cars, overpowered the 27 able
bodied passengers, and insulted, and bul

nuts, who surprised and guarded a smau
town,a railway train,and robbed everybody,
and all at the same time. The somewhat
notorious cat's-tail strategist would not
have undertaken to do the same job with
less than a thousand men in action, and
from one to two thousand in reserve.
It is a somewhat significant fact that the

and forcible robbery by armed men ot rail

United States. Enlightened citizens of
this great and glorious republic hold them
selves a peg or two above the effete and
priest-ridden Spaniard. We felicitate our
selves on having the greatest and best gov
ernment under the sun. A government,
like a tree, is known by its fruits ; and
one of the legitimate fruits of a good
government is, or should be, order. That
is just what we have not. Usurpation sits
at the head ot many ot tne states oi me
south ; and nowhere does any great num
ber of government officials feel bound to
be honest unless it be tnat tnere is noining
for them to steal. I his robbery ot mail
trains could not occur under a government
that caused itself to be respected. Spain
has the excuse that it has now no govern
ment ; that it is torn by tierce dissensions ;
that anarchy has possession of its powers.
In the case ot both fcpain and tins country,
the conclusion is a fair One that such out
rages indicate a weak, inefficient, and con
temptible administration of public affairs.
Meanwhile, the charm, the romance, the
entire absence of risk or present danger or
subseouent capture and punishment," the
amount of booty realized are certain to
make this species of brigandage a favorite
and popular oue. We shall expect to see
revived the chivalrous Claude Duvals, the
Dick Turpins, the Jack Shepherds, whose
operations will include the railway coach
in place of the stage-coach ; and who will
pursue the business with all the more zest
now that there is no hanging for robbery,
ami that thev have onlv to canter down

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and despondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn,
of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and iu part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the di
gestive function necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,
and effects, to some extent, the quality of
the blood.
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron is a
sure cure. This is not a new preparation,
to be tried and found wanting ; it has been
prescribed daily for many years in the
practice of eminent physicians with unpar
relled success ; it is not expected or in
tended to cure all the diseases to which the
human family is subject, but is warranted
to cure Dyspepsia tn the most obstinate
form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron nev
er fails to cure. Symptoms of Dyspepsia
are loss of appetite, wind and rising of the
food, dryness ot the mouth, heartburn,
distention of the stomach and bowels, con
stipation, headache, dizziness, sleepiness
and low spirits. Try the great remedy and

Judge Murphyv the Davenport Mayor,
and Scott county Senator, will get puffed
up with pride if he has many more com
pliments like the following, from the lady
correspondent of the Dubuque Times:
''The handsome man and scholar on the
Democratic side of the Senate, is Senator
Murphy, Mayor of Davenport. Dignified
and thoughtful generally, though, when oc
casion present itself, as merry as the mer
riest. 1 imagine 1 detect a faint aroma f

ate belongs to this gentleman."
Held For Trial.
Henry C'atten, the harness thief, had
an examination before Magistrate Cropper
to-day, the Tth. No attorneys on either
side. The Marshal made the complaint,
procured the witnesses and acted as attor
ney for the people, After the testimony
of Stewart Dart, the fellow plead guilty of
nettv larceuv. and was held for trial in
$:uhj bonds. Not procuring bail he was
sent back to jail.
The marshal says that all the harness
has not yet been indentified. Those who
have lost property of this sort are request
ed to call.
Using up John Cleland's Farm.
The I 'nion devotes seven Hues to the de
cision of Judge Pleasants in the contested
election case of John 11. Cleland, vs, Sam
uel R. Porter. Possibly some of the rea
ders of that sheet may desire to know more
about the case than can be told in seven
lines, if they dt they will find the inform
ation they desire in The Arui s. Possi
bly some of the benighted readers of that
carelessly edited concern would like to know
the reasons given by the Judge for sustain
ing Porter. If they do they will have to
look in Tue Altars for them the Union
doesn't possess sufficient energy to furnish
them and we doubt if the Union Cle
land clique would like their dupes to see
them. The seven line article of the Union
on this case closes as follows :
An appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court
and it tue decisiott U reversed trial will be had in
the court below.
(Vn 'if' is still a big thing with these fel
lows. Judire Pleasants.in his decision, re
marked that the "it" still remains, and we
say, if the Union -clique and the lawyers can
make a tool of Johu Cleland long enough
they will use up his farm, and fail to get
him the office after all. Without a single
peg to stand on, they have the assurance
to ask the courts to put them in possession
of an office that the people refused to give
them. They seem to be under the ini
impresdion that this is Louisiana! and that
Durrell is Judge ! They never were more
mistaken in their lives,
one-half the taxes assessed under the late
Republican mayor, and that too without
increasing its indebtedness ! If that is an
evidence of corruption it would be a bles
sing to have some of that sort of corrup
tion in Mr. Grant's administration '
The citizens of Rock Island do not
thank the Timet itemizer for slandering
them, and we suggest to him that he can
find more reliable sources of information
than Levi Michael Haverstick to draw up
on concerning this locality.

There is no place where the real na
ture of a boy is more readily determined
than when he is in charce of a horse. If
of an irritable disposition there will be fre
tiuent outbursts of passion ; but if possess
ed of a ten tie nature, the affection mani
fested between himself and the animal will
be unmistakable. The horse soon learns
to kve a kiua uiasier, auu enjoys iu pres
eaoe, and will acknowledge this pleasure
by obedience. The management of horses
affords an excellent opportunity to practice
patience, gentleness anu humanity, ana
this practice will be of lasting value.
The printers' strike at Indianapolis
died a natural death, The iuflux of prin
ters to take the places made vacant by the
strike was so great that a large number
were obliged to leave on the second day,
for want of work, and seek it elsewhere.
The union printers will soon learn that
there are too many men just now who are
glad to get their places, without regard to
union rules, to make strikes profitable. A
large number of the new men were found
to be union men, and were promptly dis
charged from that organization, but what
