Messrs J.. :. Gates 4 Co. came To Rock
Island about a year and half ago per
feet strangers, and in beginning their bust
mes, had to depend wholly upon their
ability to sell goods cheap to get a con
nection. BY sticking to the motto OF
quick sales at low rates they have founded
an immense business, which seems tC
grow from day to day, although their
extensive premises have long been taxed
to the utmost to store and display goods
and the number Of statesmen has been
increased until they are too thick behind
the counter for comfort, The firm has
ever made specially Of selling below the
market rates and proposes to continue OF
that line right along. Some Of the induce
meuts they are offering the public will be

SPRINGFIELD, H., April The follow
ing is the full text Of the bill ito authorize
the election Of women to school offices.
which has now passed both houses Of the
Legislature and will become a law
SIC. T. BE il enacted by the People Of the state
Of Illinois Represented In the General Assembly.
That any women, married or single, of the age Of
~ year, and upward, aud possessing the qualtfca.
tOu- prescribed for men, shall be eligible TO any
Office under the general or special school law7 Of
the State.
SIC . That any woman elected or appointed to
any Office under the provisions OF this act before
she enters upon the discharge Of the duties of the
Office shall qualify and give bond rs required by
law, aud such bond shall be binding upon her and
her securities.
The Union does not publish this bill,
but, true to its instincts, it tries to be funny
about il and ridicule the women. Under
the heading Women recognized, that
paper sneeringly says We always knew
they were eligible for something, and are
glad to nave an official announcement of
the fact, even extending to the direct
statement of what the eligibility amounts
to in a particular case. 1t thinks the
best position for them is that of house
hold directors, and says Amy woman
who perfectly fills that position, will see a
neiahbor elected school director without a
particle Of envy, and probably vote for her
on the bride Of dozen eggs or pound OF
butter" All people of ordinary intelli-
gence will perceive that the bill does not
authorize the women to vote-only to hold
school offices, and therefore the fling that
women's votes can be bought for "a dozen
eggs or pound of butter was entirely
gratuitous and grossly insulting.
The bill is a good one, and if the people
will now avail themselves Of and secure
the services of one or more good intelE-
gent women on every school board they
will be likely 10 have some needed reforms
Introduced in their schools.

A Little Credit MObiIier.

Wednesday entered upon little Credit
Mobiler investigation Of its own, which
finally resulted in some rich Develop
men,s. Some one had written TO
Chairman Dawes that Mr. Clinton Col
gate, Secretary at the New York Stock
Exchange, had reported to the President
of the Stock Exchange that he had
been obliged to incur heavy expenses
here last session while securing legisla.
ton for the removal of the tax on hor'
rowed capital, aud intmatiug that this
expense WAS incurred around Congress.
Mr.. Colgate Was called before the Com
mittee to-day, aud after pretty severe
examination he at last testified that
Judge Charles P. Sherman, present
United States District Judge Of North
ern Ohio, and brother OF Senator Sher-
man, the Chairman Of the Senate Fl
nance Corn nittes, had written him ask
ing Tor a Zee ofSl00U0 Tor abref he had
prepared, and for his Influence with the
Finance Committee on this question. Il
did not appear that the amount hal
been paid, but Mr.. CDlgate promised to
produce the letter OF Judge Sherman
tomorrow. The Committee propose
to unearlh another arrangement by
which Colgate wrote that he could GET
his reqused legislation for $3.50 per
month and $4,000 cash when perfected

Poor lplfaX,

The New York World has the follow
ing characteristic par 'graph concerning
the unfortunate the VicePresident. "CoI.
FAX is not lawyer. But CoLFAX has
stud ed the well known leading case in
bailment, in which, the borrower OF q
kettle being sued for returning it in a
cracked condition, put in the several de-
fences: |. That he never had the kettle.
9. That It was broken when he took it,
3. That it was whole when he returned
it. Upon this what Mr.. CoLPAx pleases
10 call his defence" is founded. Only
in the case OF CoLFAX the deiences were
not put 10 simultaneously but success
sively and by way of rebuttal to success
sive instalments OF evidence. First,
CoLFAx last summer told his neighbors
that lie never had tie stock, then, the
stock having been proven upon him,
he never had the money and then, the
money having been proven upon him,
he got it from a dead man and tore up
the dead mans letter. HIS defence is
borrowed from the borrower in the
story, but his demeauor is imittaed
from that OF the valet in "Pendenuis
when his master ordered his trunks to
"be searched: There was only two shirts
and / thought you meant to give
"me the we-kit-and III take my hoaih
II intended to put back the hopera-
"glass." And this miserable shutfltr
and prevaricsror is not valet but @
Vic: Pres dent. and, driven from his
last wretched shit, he has not the least
remnant Of mauhood which would make
him hide his head, il he did not cut his
throat, but twists and turns and grovels
in the sigh! Of all men still, and still
makes a mockerg Of the office from
which it is impossible to expel him,
since he has not the grace to take him.
