PEOPLES Independent Ticket.

A call is published in this paper for the
people who are opposed to drawing party
lines in town affairs, to meet and nominate
a good ticket for officers People who are
in the habit of finding fault because good
men are not brought out are invited to at
tend these caucusses, and see that such del.
gates are chosen as will bring out good
men. If they keep away from these eau
cusses, they will give the best evidence in
the world that they don't care who are our
officers
THE ARGUS will not commit itself to any
ticket or party until it sees what kind of
men are brought out on both sides
And we understand that South Rock
Island will take no part in any convention,
except to ask both conventions to adopt
their candidates outside the city
The call in this convention means a peo-
pies movement, and it is for the people to
act as they think best.

THE CONSTRUCTIVE MILEAGE STEAL.


In the House of Representatives, at
Washington, on the 10th, the Hon. A. Herr
Smith, from the Ninth Pennsylvania Dis
trict, Lancaster county, made vigorous
attack on the mileage swindle, appealing
to members to commence reform among
themselves, and cut off their own outra-
geous and extortionate pay and perquis-
ties, by adopting a rule to allow each mem
Der his actual travelling expenses and no
more-but he was beaten. The majority
were welded to their pap and determined
to continue to suck the public teat. The
only argument used by those who sustain
ed the swindle of constructive" mileage
was that it enabled them to take their fam
lilies to Washington to stay during the ses-
sion So, it seems, the people must pay
members not only enormous wages, sufi-
cient to support themselves and families,
and grow rich besides, but the members
actually vote themselves constructive
mileage, out of the peoples pockets, to pay
travelling expenses Of their families and
to support them in Washington during
the winter. And in addition it is a we'll
known and often-exposed fact that the
Sergeant at Arms. in his contingent expense
account for stationery, ice, etc., ETC., fur
nishes members and their families with
fine stationery, gold pens, pencils, ETC.,
ETC., and colognes, perfumery, soaps, brush.
es, combs, soaps, toilet articles of all kinds,
gloves and many other articles for personal
use. The steals which Congressman per.
petrate in that way cost the people thou
sands upon thousands of dollars.
In the course of the debate on the ICON.
structive" mileage steal, Mr.. Smith pro-
duced letter from thei Secretary of the
Treasury, enclosing table showing the
amount actually paid to members of the
House, for mileage, for the AID Congress,
The whole sum was $l96,5576O. He also
showed that the amount paid for actua
travelling expenses for the first session Of
| the present CONGRESS- was only $23, 900
showing that the people of the country
were swindled $l73,5576 60 by this ICON
structive" business, for the benefit of mem
bers' families or rather for the benefit Of
their pockets
We have looked through the list to SCI
what our Illinois members drew in tn,
constructive" steal for the AID Congress
Al
Senators, for the reason that no one in the
Senate has shown up the steal, but O
course the average is about $1,000 eacf
there, as we'll as in the House The
amount thus taken by our members of tht
House for the last Congress is officially
reported by the Secretary of the Treasury
as follows

TEMPORARY REMOVAL.

Last August Capt Robinson complained
to Mayor Davenport that the water was so
low that he could not land with heavy
loads at Eagle street, and asked permission
to move up to Washington street until the
landing was built further out into the river
or until the water should rise SO that he
could land at Eagle, and promising to re-
turn to Eagle as soon as the work was
done or the water should rise. The Coun-
Gil was convened and permission granted
under that understanding. The following
is the official record;
AUG. 9, lS73.-The Mayor stated that
the Council was convened for the purpose
Of considering the propriety of permitting
the ferry company to land the ferry boat
at the foot of Washington street until the
landing at the foot of Eagle street is re-
paired.
Aid, Churchill moved that the ferry
company be directed to land the ferry
boat at the foot Of Washington street tenn
porarily. The motion was adopted
Aid. Lawhead moved that the Finance
Committee be authorized to purchase rock
with which to repair the landing at tn e
foot of Eagle street The motion was
adopted.
Although Capt Robinson gave his
word that the dock should be taken away
from Washington where it interferes with
the steamboat business) as soon as the
water should rise or the landing be ex-
tended, Aid Churchill thought it was
best to clear away the rubbish on record,
so that when spring opened there could be
no excuse for not removing the dock out OF
the way of steamboats, and returning to
the proper landing, and he therefore in
troduced the following:
FEBRUARY, 16. 1874. Resolred, That
the permission given the Ferry Company
| by vote of this Council, on the 9th of
August last, to land the ferry boat at the
foot of Washington street temporarily" is
hereby reconsidered aud repealed.
This resolution was not acted on at that
meeting, and has not been called up since.
1t should now be called up and passed.
And at some future time there ought to
be an ordinance prepared and adopted il
relation to the ferry dock Strictly speakins
the Ferry Company has no right to leave
the dock lying at our levee at all. An or.
dinance regulating that matter should be
adopted, as well for the interests of the
| Ferry Company as the public.

The Mayor and the City Laws.

Former mayors Of Rock Island have not
appointed policemen according to law ALI
previous mayors have overlooked the fact
that deputy marshals and policemen must
be appointed by the council-not the may
or. Some years the council. would pass a
resolution directing the mayor and marsh
al to appoint policemen-but this was ille-
gal. The council cannot change an ordi-
nance by passing IA resolution. Any
change in an ordinance must be made by
ordinance, not by resolution or vote or or
der The council are referred to page l6S,
Z. Of the old book of printed ordinances,
where they will find that they may, on
recommendation of the marshal, or
whenever they see fit, without such rec
ommendation, appoint not exceeding two
persons to be deputy marshals- not assis-
tant marshals, but deputy marshals. They
are also referred to 2 6 on page 1863, where
it is made their sworn duty to appoint po-
licemen, on recommendation of the mayor.
The mayor is the chief of police, and all
aldermen are policemen also. The mayor
has the right to remove any police officer,
at any time, but has not the power to APP
point. He can nominate to the council,
and then the council must act All nom
nations should be referred to the Commit
tee on Police, who should inquire into their
character and qualifications and report in
writing upon each case in order that the
aldermen may vote understandingly.
The former practice has been wrong and
we hope to see Dr. Gait respect and care.
fully observe the law No man should be
deputy marshal or policeman, who can
not command a majority of the votes Of
council No appointment should be made
unless it is first referred to the Committee
on Police to inquire into the character and
qualifications of the candidate. And nc
man on the present force should be remov-
ed unless his unfitness for the place is
shown. Heretofore the Committee on
follce and the Aldermen have been treated
as nobodies, having nothing to say in the
matter. 1t is a good time, now, for DIR.
Galt to show his respect for the law and
carefully observe it. Aud it is a good
time for Aldermen and Committees to in
sist ON their full rights in every matter the
law places i'll their hands or in which they
have a voice We are confident that DIR.
Gait will show them all the Difference and
respect which the laws aud ordinances
contemplate.
