A Sunday Scene IN Davenport.

On Sunday afternoon a large carriage
filled with women halted in front of a
brewery on the rivers bank, above Daven-
port. In and around the brewery were
quite number of Germans, some seated
in front, and all quiet and peaceably enjoying
a glass Of beer and pleasant conversation.
The women in the carriage commenced to
pray for these people who were spending
Sunday as their christian fathers have done
for centuries before them. After prayer the
women sang a hymn There was a little
pause, when the Germans sang one of their
cheerful songs they know so we'll how to
ring out with spirit and melody. And
these hymns and prayers and temperance
appeals on one side and cheerful German
songs on the other side, alternated for an
hour or two-when gentleman from the
brewery carried out a couple OF tOaming
glasses of beer to the women and, with hat
in hand, politely offered them the pleasant
and refreshing beverage. They declined,
and the gentleman tossed them off him
self, with polite wishes for the good health
of the women. And thus ended the scene
between bigoted intolerance on'one side and
innocent liberality on the other, and In which
politeness and good nature prevailed all the
time.

favor of anything to beat Grant.
The Moline editor of the Gazette is
Informed that The ARGUS vents its
wrath upon no one. THE ARGUS is not in
that kind Of business-but is doing it's duty
towards the public according to its best
judgement.

Grants letter to Senator Jones, Of
Nevada, in favor Of a return to specie

Benedict Rettick, who will be remem-
| bered by many of our citizens as the pro-
prietor Of the New Y ork House, in this city,
some s or 10 years ago, died in Chicago

ed last week.
On Friday afternoon, Willie Orndorf,

Eleventh street, near Iowa, in Davenport,
went to playing with loaded revolver,
and the accidental discharge of one barrel
sent ball through the lad IS left thigh,
causing painful, If not serious wound.

"A certain DR.. Hall, of Viola, married a

not say he may give the casting vote, but
it positively and emphatically declares that
he shall gre the casting cote. In case of
refusal, how is he to be punished? In
ART ii. Sec. IA, of the Moline city char
ter, it is provided as-follows:
In case the Mayor or any other municipal Off
Ger shall at any time be guilty of palpable onis-
sion OF duty ne shall be liable to
and, on conviction thereof, shall be fined in sum
not exceeding 81 900; and the court in which such
conviction shall be had SHALL ENTER AN OR
DER REMOVING SUCH OFFICER FROM Of
FICE."
That Mayor Deere is guilty of "a palpa-
BILE omission of duty" admits of no doubt,
and we are told that his case will be pre-
sented at the next session of the Grand
Jury.
Although the weak aldermen and mayor
have invited state of partial anarchy in
Moline, we do not excuse the
ILL-JUDGED CONDUCT
of some of the liquor dealers. Their
conduct has caused some of the citizens
to change their opinions and now to ia
vor no license" The indecent parade of
miserable drunkard seated in front of a
| saloon drinking his beer and insulting those
passing, as was done last week-an exhibi-
ton which publicly portrays one of the
curses OF intemperance, as is claimed by
the ladies' and the free and indiscrimin-
ate distribution of beer from wagons in
front of a saloon to an excited crowd, thus
appealing to the preiudices and passions Of
a mob, has caused some of the citizens Of
Moline to side with the fanatical idea OF
strict prohibition. Such a course has not
done the saloon interest any good in Mo,
| line, and may well cause her best citizens
to pause and consider, and to take active
part on one side or the other. Yetit is tho
LEGITIMATE FRUITS
of the political education they have given
their men.
While saloon men have certain inaliena-
bic rights, they must remember that So
clety and the community in which they
live have the right to make such laws as
the majority consider proper-provided, Of
course, that they be authorized by the let
ter and spirit of the organic laws of oul
government. The liquor men have a voice
in the election of the law making power
and should abide the result. Let the law:
be enforced, and it is the duty of every
citizen Of Moline to assist whoever under
takes to enforce them, be they ladies OIL
officers. Moline cannot afford to be thu;
excited or to have such exhibitions of pro
scription and Puritanical tyranny, and un
less her City Council speedily settles this
question violence and perhaps bloodshed
may follow, in consequence Of their imbe
Gle city government.

PATENT MEDICINES. That there are

PATENT MEDICINES That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny, and preem-
inent is the great California hero medicine,
VINEGAR BTTERs, discovered by DR.. j.
WALKER, a prominent physician of San
Francisco, This medicine, although called
Bitters, is not to be classed among the vile
fancy drinks recommended and sold
over the bar by rum-venders, but is com
bination of pure herbalistic extracts, known
to possess sterling medicinal qualities, and
lis compounded without the use, in any
shape, of spirits Its action upon the in
ternal system is not stimulating to the ex-
tent that alcoholic poison is, but it at once
attacks blood-impurities, and by removing
the original cause destroys the germs of d.
sease and invites returning health. Its
action upon the stomach and liver render
it an almost certain specific in the most
stubborn cases of dyspepsia, and in truth
imparts new life and vigor to the whole
system. 1t is one OF the best medicines
! ever invented

The disgraceful proceedings at Moline,
in this State, in connection with the move
ment of some crusaders; the riots that
have occurred in several towns in Ohio and
Indiana, and the result of all late elections
held in Ohio, and which almost universally
went against the temperance party, have
furnished the winding up of the woman's
war against rum-and most inglorious
winding up has it proved to be. Without
any very great doubt, the average results
of the crusaders effort has been disastrous
to the cause Of temperance. 1t was we'll
meant, but it was means not adapted to
the end and it has also had the effect to
greatly lower the estimate in which prayer
and women have been held Chicago
Times
1t has not only done this but it has
brought upon those engaged in the crusade
harsh criticism of their own private lives.
