FRIEND SsnBY: Our incendiary fires
still continue. The stables of Mr.. J. W.
Thornburg, West Of the depot, were
fred an hour ago, and were burned to
the ground; his mules were saved. The
owner is deserving and industrious
citizen, and the loss is, at this time,
severe.
LATTER A. NJ, May 1.-The stables
OF John Keenan,, in the extreme upper
end of town, have just been burned
involving loss to On honest, hardwork-
ing drayman. His stock was saved.
Special efforts have been made to ferret
out these rascalities, but 80 far, without
success; but detection will come. NJ.

AN "UNPREJUDIoRD" JUROR. The con-
duct OF Mr. Gilbert Pillsbury, one of the
jurors in the United States Court, is
commended to the attention of Judges
Bond and Bryan. That worthy, in the
course of a public speech delivered on
Monday night. said: II am on jury

their offences. Against whom were
those offences committed? Against you,
my colored -citizensl Yes, we're it
not for Uncle Sans bayonets, you would
be whipped now for every frown, as you

partisan is eminently qualified for q

LEW RANDALL.
ors Of the COMPETENT policemen who con
dsrstand their business"

A day or two ago the Argus has enc OF
its most brilliant articles on the conduct OF
Lew Randall, one Of our policemen, eharg-
ing him with the arrest OF Adolf Matthias
and improper intimacy with his wife. The
statement is made with glowing display oil
rhetoric to the effect that Randall is ne
publican.
Without having inquired as to the further
facts. We simply wish to say that Randall
hs. always been known as . Democrat and

arrest of Matthias. These two points in the
ARGUS article being false, ID looks as if the
whole business had been Matched up IN the

made our statements on the authority Of
Adolf Mathis, which were confirmed by
George 0hlveiler, as well ss by common re-

every respect. Mr.. Mathis did not say that
he was arrested BY Lew Randall. but 40,
cused that policeman of having "caused his
arrest" in order to obtain the opportunity
of invading his home. We were alec in

days since by the expulsion of piece of

The Rock RIVER ToLLs.-A movement
is on foot to secure the reduction of the
Rock River bridge tolls to one half their
present figure. Petitions intended to bring
this about are in circulation, and are being
very generally signed. For many years
past Rock Island has derived quite a reve-
nue. from these bridges. 1t is still ques-
ton, however, if this revenue has not been
. dstriment to our city's prosperity. We
are of the opinion that the tolls should be
abolished entirely. The road from here to
Milan was constructed a, great expense,
and for the express purpose of drawing
trade to the city. The toll at the bridges,
though light, still has an effee, to keep peo-
pie awsy from us. 1t doesn't appear the
part of wisdom to build a splendid macAd.
amized road out four miles from our city,
and then lock it up at the other end. And
yet, many taxpayers would hesitate before
declaring in favor Of cuttiOg of so import
ant revenue. The subject is open for
discussion, and we would like to see some
expression Of public opinion.
