Boards Of Registry in Rock Island.

Mr.. Sup'r krell has demonstrated his
incapacity for the position he holds in quite
striking manner He offered in the
Board of Supervisors. without consulting
Sup'r Jarvis, a list of names for Judges Of
election in this township That list was
not in the handwriting of Mr. krell 1t
was made for him and he was made tool
of to offer it 1t was partisan list, con-
tanning the names Of only one Democrat in
each voting precinct. Mr. Krell had not
consulted the men named and did not
know whether they would serve or not.
Sup'r Jarvis caused that list TO be
changed in three of the five voting pre-
cincts, so that it was not strictly partisan
list, as finally adopted, on his motion.
Timely notice was not served upon the
persons appointed, and there has yet been
no registry made in this township.
Supr Krell, instead Of acting as the tool
Of a little party clique, should have con-
suited with his colleague, Supr Jarvis, and
they should have first found men who
would agree to accept the positions, and
then have made up list fairly represent
ing the parties in the voting precincts
This was not done-and it was Krell 5
fault that it was not done
/ As no registry has yet been made for this
township, for the election which occurs
June ID we suggest to the men who are
appointed as registrars that they meet on
Tuesday and Wednesday next THE days
fixed by law for the last meeting) and make
registry And, if any of them will
not serve, we suggest that they find a
substitute ,of the same politics As them
selves and ask those Of the board who do
consent to serve to appoint such such sub
stitute Unless they do this the election
for circuit judge will not probably be par
ticipated in by Rock Island township.

Rock Island Military Prison.

1t will be remembered that the bill es-
tablishing military prison at Rock Island,
was passed in the closing hours of the
Forty-second Congress, and was duly APP
proved by the President; but that in the
excitement incident to the struggle to force
through the increased back salary grab, no
provision was made to carry the law into
effect, and the War Department finds itself
without an appropriation at its control
with which to commence work. The st.
Louis Globe comes to hand with the follow
ing interesting details concerning the bill
This scheme is an especial hobby of
Gen. Townsend, the Adjutant General, who
was the originator of the idea Of separating
military prisoners from those confined for
Offenses against the civil laws, in State
prisons.
The law provides for prison at Rock
Island, Arsenal, for the confinement Of of
tenders against army rules, regulations and
laws, where they shall be employed at
manuel labor during their term OF impris
onment.
1t is to be governed by a board Of five
commissioners, three Of whom shall be
officers detailed from the army, and two
civilians. They make all rules. The civil
ians to hold Office for three years, but the
army officers are removable at the pleasure
of the Secretary of War The Board make
semi-annual visits Of inspection Tor Oftener
if deemed expedient), in company with the
Secretary of War The prisoners to be I'M
der immediate control of commandant
and such subordinate assistants as may be
required, and shall have also chaplain,
surgeon and clerk, all of whom shall be
detailed from among the commissioned line
and staff of the army
One of the Inspectors General of the
army is to visit and inspect, each three
months, and must make especial inquiry as
to whether the convicts have been properly
governed and employed, and at the same
time treated with humanity and kindness
The law specifies that the terms of i'm
prlsOnment may be shortened by a course
Of good conduct by the convict, and if con
tinued in, the Secretary Of War is empow-
cred to remit sentences and grant honora-
BILE restoration to duty
Solitary confinement may only be resort
ed 10 as punishment, when convict per-
sistently refuses to obey the rules and reg
ulatiOns; but in such a case, the punish
ment must be specially reported to the
War Department
The convict shall at no time be denied
the use OF newspapers and books, during
the time he is not employed at labor.
The law provides, as will be seen, for a
humane treatment, well calculated to re-
form the persons confined, and great cred
it is due the officer who planned and urged
the scheme, and with whom all sympa-
thize in his disappointment at the failure
of Congress to make the necessary appro-
priation.

NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Rip. Van Wrinkle, by Joe Jefferson, to
night, at Dart Hall,
Recent returns show that there are 5, 4O3
liquor saloons in New York city.
Moline people want the street railways
extended 10 the east part OF town.
Our late lamented post master is unhap-
py because THE ARGUS wasn't sold by the
snake story.
1t is finally aseertained that the Connec-
ticat Legislature stands as follows: In the
Senate there are eleven Republicans and
ten Democrats-one Republican major
ity. The House stands: Democrats 132,
Republicans l09; Democratic majority %.
The question of closing saloons in Dav-
export, on Sunday, win be before their
city council this evening. The friends of
the Sunday ordinance claim they have a
majority of the council-andt the other side
is equally sure that the Council will take
no action ON the subjectfarther than receiv-
ing the petitions and, possibly I, eferring
them to committee Nous rerrons
When the fast packets are coming down
stream now, they always give the signal to
open the draw before they have turned

then the bridge tenders do not much more
than have time to swing open before the

now equally good, and pilots take their

AN INSULT TO THE FARMERS

Judge Lawrence, in his letter to the law
yers, accepting their nomination, said
~ observe by the newspapers that at
several of the farmers conventions which
have been held, the court has been de-
nounced by some of the speakers, and at
one of these meetings a resolution was
adopted in favor of calling convention
for the purpose of nominating candidate
for the Office now held by me. The object
of such a convention if it shall be held,
will probably be to select candidate, who
if elected would be expected to take his
seat upon the bench as the pledged agent
of that class of the people to whom he would
owe his nomination and election, and for
the purpose of doing all in his power to Sc
cure such decisions as they might desire "
What else can the above mean, but that
it is a piece of assumption on the part of
the farmers TO assemble and consult as to
who they will vote for for Judge? Have not
the farmers perfect right to combine their
own votes upon man Of their choice? Are
they not interested in our courts? Ger
tainly the election of Judges by the people
is farce, or the people have equal rights
in the matter. Have the lawyers, or the
railroad monopolists, any better right to
dictate who shall beiudge than the clergy
men or school teachers? Not bit of it.
The farmers, the merchants, the mechan-
ics,the laborers, the shoemakers, the black
smiths, or any other class have exactly the
same rights. Any attempt to abridge the
rights of other classes is an insult to them !;
and Judge Lawrence, or the railroad men,
or the lawyers, will not find it popular OF
profitable to attempt to sneer down the
farmers in their honest efforts for redress
Of grievances,

true specific Is adapted to all localities and
chimes, and for this reason, that it strikes at the
eausative principle Of the diseases which it is ad
ministered to cure. Hostetters Stomach Btters,
for example, is true specific, not only because it
fOrtifes the body against the external influences
which prompts disease but because, when taken as
a remedy instead Of preventive, it neutralizes
the infectve principle in the blood and thereby de-
stroys the primary source of the ailment. Hence
as an antidote to epidemic disorders, and to all
complaints which are produced or aggravated by

unrivalled nor is 1t less celebrated in the tropics
a preventive of malarious fevers.

Mr. Older should have taken time by
the forelock, and visited the Commandant
on Monday, and then he would probably
have received document which would
have saved ferry expenses. Gdz.
Which might have been well enough
but we insist that he was entitled by the
printed rules to pass the bridge as he pro
posed to pass. One of his men started to
ride one horse and lead another across the
bridges. There was no other team near
and no signs of procession" or anything
of the sort. If the editor Of the Gazette
was to ride one horse and lead another
upon the Rock Island bridge would he be
stopped? OF course not. And yet he
ought to be, just as much as in the other
case. This man, with two horses, had got
partly across the first bridge when he was
called back, and we are told that there
was ferry employee at the bridge point
ing out to the guard what were circus
teams and what were not; and the circus
people afterwards saw the same man en-
gagged on the ferry boat, These circus
owners are citizens Of the United States
they pay heavy taxes to support the gov
eminent; and they are entitled to all the
privileges of any other citizens Of the Uni
ted States. They violated no rule estab-
lished by the Secretary of War in relation
to the bridges, and did not propose or offer
to violate any rule of the Secretary of War;
but we insist that the very proper rules
which the Secretary of War has adopted
and caused to be published for the govern
ment of the Rock Island bridges have been
violated by those in charge Of the bridges.
| Mr.. z. A. Older, the owner of the cir
Gus, was resident of this city one winter.
many years ago, and was the manager for
! Yankee Robinson's show. He is now a
resident of Iowa and owns a fine farm in
that State, not far from Independence.
He is gentleman, citizen Of the United
States, and of the State of Iowa, and is en-
titled to all the privileges of other citizens.
He paid 1925 for train of cars to take
over most of his wagons and the principal
part of his show, and only wanted to walk
the horses across and some portion of the
wagons necessary to use here in the fore
noon, and thus save the trouble of loading
and unloading. He had a right, under
the rules, to do so, without Especial permit
When stopped at the bridge the man in
charge asked how he was to get across.
The guard, pointing to man standing
near, said There's the ferryman-he
can tell you
1t looks a little bit like a collision be-
tween the ferry folks and somebody con
nected with the government service here,
and we assert our belief that Gen. Belk-
nap, the Secretary of War, who is also a
citizen of Iowa. and just man, WILL if this
case shall be reported 10 him, decide that
his own rules have been violated by those
in charge Of the bridges.
