Amasa Walker writes to the Springfield
Republtcaa giving the following reasons
why our trade with Canada has fallen off
Our redundant currency acts like a
protective tariff to the people of the PROV
inces, and, for that matter, to the people of
every other country who produce any com
modify that would naturally come into
competition with our own. We had
very fourishing trade in the shoe line
with Australia, and it was constantly in
crasing at rapid rate 1t is now almost
annihilated. A reciprocity trade with the
Dominion is highly desirable, and, with a
high sstandard of value, would be large
and profitable; but, with our present mon
etary system, it must be less than it
ought. Our mechanics and manufactur-
ers are passing over the boundary and
establishing their several trades, because
they can benefit themselves by SO doing.
This is not theory, but fact, aud is the re
suit of the short sighted policy of our Gov
eminent in forcing the people to use a cur
rency which for the purpose Of home pro-
duction is not worth, at furthest, more than
81 cents on the dollar.

Decoration Day,

The usual partizan performance at the
cemetery at Rock Island Arsenal and 9th
er places where soldiers are buried, also at
the monument in Court Square, took place
to-day. These performances are not the
spontaneous offerings of the people gener-
ally, but are the partially enforced result
Of party drill and discipline. They are not
tributes to patriotism and bravery; if they
we're then the graves of George Washing

our liberties would be decorated. They
are not tributes to love of country if
they were the graves of those whom 1912

for free trade sailors rights" would be
decorated. They are not tributes to that

Minnie Martin is the name of an artful
young maiden-no, not maiden-young
woman, we mean. living on Gaines street,
who promenades Brady and Second streets
these moonlight nights, singing sly smiles
at the boys, and such like. professionally,
one of them accosts her, and asks to escort
her to her home or an ice cream saloon, she
don obiect-not much. A young man
from Moline met Minnie last evening-she
smiled and he simpered; she looked back
after he passed her, and by some panto-
mimic gesture which the moral young
man from Moline evidently took in" he
retraced his steps aud followed her, at a
distance, for block or two. Encouraged
by her actions, which spoke palmer than
words, he accelerated his pace and offered
his arm. Minnie melted to him immedi-
ately. aud to her rooms she towed him.
We don know what passed. but he con
tded to friend at the Newcomb House
this morning that S35 and a silver waite

The Lloyd-Eagan Case.

After our paper was put to press last
evening we learned some additional facts
in regard to this case. Lloyd asked Dep
uty Kimball to go with him to the c., r.
|. & p. freight depot and arrest Eagan.
The two went there and found that Eagan
had left with his train for Chicago, herun-
ming the freight which was to follow the
night express that night, and it was in
the discharge of his duty in keeping pos
session of his train that he was obliged to
knock this inebriated rufian, Lloyd, from
his engine, and just at time when he was
making up his train to leave. Finding that
the train had left Lloyd says to Kimball,
lets follow up to the upper depot, in re-
ply to which Kimball told him that he
could 90 up there if he wished, and if the
train had not left he would find policemen
there on duty, who would arrest him, and
if it had left, OF course it would be of no
use to follow. At this Lloyd began to be
imDuacnt and nrofane, and Kimball then
told him he had better go home or he
would lock him up for drunkenness. No
sober man thinks it was kimball's duty to
chase a departed railroad train in a case
like this.
A few minutes afterwards Lloyd fell in
with Policeman German, and wanted him
to chase the train, whereupon German told
him to get home as quick as.he could or he
would lock him up for drunkenness.
And still the Blonde Little Sheet is not
happy.

The Coming Lecture on Rome

To the Editors of The Argus:
We are yet to have the first lecture Of
the season in Rock Island, and it remains
to be seen whether any one is justified in
the effort to secure first class talent in this
direction. The lecture of DR.. Joseph Cross
is one that should be instructive and enter
tanning because his subject is excellently
chosen. There is not a teacher or scholar
Of the older classes in our public schools
who could not enjoy it. There is not a
young man or woman in our city who
would not find it to their advantage to
know something more Of the past and pres
ent glories OF that great city upon which
the eyes Of all nations have been fixed with
wondering interest for more than two
thousand years.
DIR. Joseph Cross is a man who has
travelled much, and who sees whatever is
curious and strange, and what is more, his
fine poetic imagination invests every scene
with charm only equaled by the glowing
| beauty of his language. His voice is rich
and full. his elocution faultless. with singu-
lar power Of dramatic picturing and a style
OF great dignity, which rises often into the
Hottest Imaginative cloquence DIR. Gross
has been resident of this State but a few
months but his fame as pulpit orator has
already spread far and wide and gained for
him with his admirers the title of The
Modern Whitfield
DIR. Cross is man sixty years old but
looks ftty,-for thirty years he was q
preacher in the Methodist Church South /;
during the war he was chaplain in the
southern army-and was conspicuous for
fearless and untiring services rendered to
the wounded and dyingof both armies on the
field Of battle Just before the war he en-
tered the ministry of the Episcopal church
in which he was born and lived until his
twentieth year.
His lecture will be given for the benefit
of the Sunday School Of Trinity church in
this city, Darts Hall, Thursday June t.
