The action taken by a number Of the
Grange organizations Of the county, indi.
Gated by the resolutions below, show that
the hearts of the Patrons IRE In their right
places. They show that Notwithstanding
all the efforts Of demagogucs to stimulate
a feeling of antagonism between the town
and country, no such feeling really exists.

fire, to call out the warmest and hcarticst
sympathy from the farmers and Patrons
in all parts of the county, of which the &C

any of the sufferers by the late fire, make
earnest effort to pay the same immediate

Bill Wiltshire Asked TO take a Chair.

Bill Wiltshire, of Port Byron, in this
county, and of Little Rock, Ark, ran for
Congress against Col. Gunther, and Col
Gunther beat him by 5,000majority. The
Governor refused to give n certificate Of
election to either, land each presented their
case before the committee on elections. OF
course that : the way all carpet baggers do
when they get beaten by the people 60
to Washington and ask Congress to elect
them. That's the way they all do
in the South Bill went and stood
on one leg there for nearly
three months. And now the House has
given him permission, by only one majority,
to sit down until the case can be examined
on its merits. 1t shows bad for Bill The
Republicans have more than two thirds of
the House, and yet he only got
chance to sit down, by one ma
.jority, temporarily. till his case can be
heard. If this is the best he can o,where
will he be when Col Gunther shows him
up? Undoubtedly he viii be given per
mission to go home But then the people
will have to pay him just the same as
though he was elected and that is proba-
bly, what he wants

The Mrs Wilkins telegraphed for by
Egglesht the forger didn't come on imme-
diately," but in her stead came an elderly,
stoutly sbuilt man who represented him
self as the father of Egglesht He arrived
yesterday morning, and had two long in-
ter views with his son. He was not the
least excited, did not take on bit, and
was as cool in all his movements as though
nothing unusual had occurred in his fam
lily. The old gentleman spoke to no one
about his affairs or those of the gentleman
who made a mistake in regard to some
check signatures told no one what his
name was or where he was from. He is
still in Davenport, and will probably re
main until after the forger's examination,
which takes place tomorrow.
A number of detectives and officers from
other cities have visited Egglesht in Jail tc
see if he correspondent with the descrip-
tons of forgers who have been victimizine
other banks In nearly every case the
verdict of every officer has been that he i:
not the man.
The total amount of bail he is now held
for is $4,000. This is only the amount
fixed temporarily When he has his ex
animation, to morrow, his bail will be def
nitely fixed

Will be Lost.

Mr. Hawley managed. through Col.
Flagler and others, to get a meeting of
about dozen citizens at the Harper House,
to practically declare that they didn' t
want a half million Of dollars disbursed
herein other words that they didn't want
magnificent buildings on the Watch Tow
er bluffs for a United States military
prison, where large sums would be expend-
ed every year. Col Flagler had no bust
ness in that meeting, and it was bad taste
for him put in an appearance there and
throw his influence against our locality.
But it was DONE and our citizens sat there
and saw him do it without rebuking him.
This having been done, Mr.. Hawley,
through his position on the Military Com
mittee, has succeeded, as far as the House
is concerned, in driving the military prison
away from our county. Unless the Sen
ate or President interfere to save it, We
shall lose it.

THEIR PRINCIPLES.

Those people who have been in doubt
about or in ignorance of the principles
and objects of the Patrons of Husbandry
are referred to their declaration made in
national convention at St. Louis, and unan-
imously adopted. We purposely omitted
the publication of the telegraphic copy of
this declaration, preferring to wait for an
official copy, which would be free from er-
rors. 1t will be seen that they mean to
cooperate for their future advancement in
every way,-morally. socially. and indus
trially. As they energetically put it, they
propose to meet together, talk together,
work together, buy together, sell together,
act together, in short, cooperate togeth-
er upon anything affecting their social, in
tellectual and material prosperity, They
take pains to disown anything like hostility
to middlemen, or to railroads but they will
rot have a surplus of the former, nor sub
NIT to any monopoly by the latter. The
women of the country and their friends
have not failed to notice that women have
taken part in the deliberations and the
committee work of the Grange, and the
declaration closes with pledge that ha:
more promise in it for the rights Of woman
than any other thing that has been said OF
done in her behalf in America.
No political party question or religion.
party question can be discussed or acted
upon inside Grange. Members of course
are left entirely free to act with what party
or church they please But cooperative
voting being as necessary for their prosper,
ty as cooperation in anything else, they
form farmers clubs in towns, and also
county associations, to take charge of tho
political part of the business, and brins
their political power to bear in such wa,
as will result in relief to their interest,
and the promotion of honesty and frugal
ty in the affairs of government in town
county, state and nation,

A good many of our people remember
Il. b. Carpenter, some Is or Is years ago
lawyer in Chicago and fine stump
orator. He is now u Judge in South Caro-
lima, and recently dismissed negro jury
Certain Republican papers raised a howl
about it and said it was because of his
prejudice against negroes. A committee
Of the legislature has examined the matter
and finds that the twelve negroes were the
most inexperienced and incompetent men
on the panel, entirely unacquainted with
the simplest forms of law in regard to the
verdicts of juries and that none of them
could read or write. When asked if they
had agreed, in case of grand larceny, the
foreman replied first, No bill, and then
None guilty" Judge Carpenter dis
charged them on the ground that they
were Incompetent to sit, under the statute
which requires jurors to be men of sound
Judgment" After the verdict had been
entered and the foreman had made his
mark, three of the jurors told the Court
that they had not agreed to the verdict, but
believed the prisoner guilty. The COM
mittee wisely decided that Judge Carpen-
ter acted honestly and faithfully in dis
missing these ignorant persons from the
consideration of cases involving liberty aud
life

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia !


dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are at
most Infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and respondent 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 in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the d.
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 new preparation,
to be tried and found wanting it has been
prescribed daily for many years in the
practice of eminent physicians with unpar-
relied 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 in the most obstinate
form. Kunkers Bitter Wine of Iron new
er fails to cure. Symptoms of Dyspepsia
are loss Of appetite, wind and rising of the
food, dryness of the mouth, heartburn,
distention of the stomach and bowels, con-
stipation, headache, dizziness, sleepiness
and low spirits. Try the great emedy and
be convinced of its merits. Get the genu-
inc. Take only Kunkel's, which is put
only in 81 bottles. Depot, 259 North

To the Editors of The Rock Island Argus.
l notice few lines in the Union written
by Granger, from Edgington, which the
editor OF that sheet prints. as he says, with
out correction. As / have not seen the
original do not know whether the mis-
takes in the spelling are the fault of the
writer or the printer. [ do not take the
Union but | exchange papers with neigh
Dor who does take it. | seldom see
anything in that paper, however, that is
calculated to benefit the Farmers or Gran
gers, but, on the contrary, notice in it a
great many items from other papers which
are detrimental to the interests of the
Farmers. Instead of lending hand to
help elect that class on whom they are de-
pendent for their bread, they publish, Ito
use their own language) without correc-
tlon letter that a subscriber sent them
directing his paper to be discontinued and
giving his reason for SO doing. They say
they do not know whether it was intended
for publication or not; but it seems that
they think it good chance to cast rldlcule
upon the farmers and therefore have no
conscientious scruples against publishing IT.
Being member of Grange myself |
hear good deal that is said. overheard
wheelwright making some remarks, a
few days ago, the substance OF which were
that the Changers were trying to break
down mechanics, and also trying to get
store keepers to sell cheap to them and
overcharge others to make up. Now, Mr..
| Editor, in my fopinion this man does not
fully understand the purposes OF the Gran
gers. | know of no case in which any
member or any number of mem
bers attempted to injure single
manufacturer or asked any one to
sell goods to them cheaper than to 9th
ers. All they aim at is simply to buy di-
rect from the manufacturer, and to buy OF
that merchant who can furnish them with
what they want at the lowest price, same as
any other class does and always has done.
1t has been the custom of the Government,
and of Corporations, and sometimes of
private individuals, to give out contracts
to the lowest bidder Government supplies
are procured in this way, and contracts
of all kinds made in the same way. But,
because the farmer is endeavoring to bene-
! fit himself, on the same plan, he is misrep-
resented and abused This will not be SO
