Walter johnson, Aleck Steel, Henry
Dart, T. J. Robinson, J. ii. Wilson and
J. b. Hawley met down at the Mayor s
office last evening and, calling themselves
the Rock Island Board of Trade, proceed
ed to appoint two of their number Robin
son and Wilson, delegates to the Richmond
cheap transportation convention, and Alvin
Hull, S. s. Guyer and Henry Dart were
appointed committee to beg money to
nav their expenses, The report doesn
say whether Guyer and Hull were present,
and it is not known whether they will act
on the begging committee or not, Ii the
so.calei Rock Island board of trade
represents anybody but Wallace Eggles-
ton, Aleek Steel and Henry Dart we should
be glad to know who it is. The organlza-
ton is simply dead beat and a sponge,
contracting bills which it never pays and
palming itself on as the representative OF
the business interests aud enterprise oi
Rock Island. Some years ago Wallace
Egglcston, Aleck Steel and Henry Dart
sat down on the concern, squeezed -the lie
out of it. and it has scarcely breathed
since. Either one OF our five hose com
panics is better representative OF the
business interests of Rock Island than this
ludicrous board of trade. 1t has only a
nominal existence and represents nobody
but the three vampires who sat down gu
it, If they would get up aud 60 and be-
some money and pay their bills, and then
dissolve the concern iuto thin air. 1t would
be great relief to the business men oi
Rock Island who are compelled to explain
the ludicrous thing hundred times 4
year.
And if two hundred of our best citizen,
and active business men would form live
| Citizens Association ;hey would command
some respect, and be able to do something
towards the prosperity and progress of TIN:

Advantage of the Narrow Gauge Railway

Advantage Of the Narrow Gauge Railway.
Whatever railroad men may think about
the comparative advantages Of the ordin-
AIRY and narrow gauge tracks for freight
exclusively or general business on great
routes of travel, there is no doubt that
roads built on the narrow gauge principle
can be used TO great profit in new and in
mountainous regions where it would not
pay to build railroads on the old plan. The
Monterey and Salinas City Railroad in Cal
iiJruia affords an excellent illustration of
this fact. The farmers along the line built
the road themselves and put it in opera
lion. They had previously made calcula
tons from which they learned that the
PEOPLE who would be accommodated by ii
were paving $500, 900 per annum Tor the
transportation of their crops to tide water
They ascertaincd that for less than this
sum they could build a narrow gauge road
from the Salinas plains to MOnterey,a dis
lance OF lS4 miles, together with wharf
at Monterey aud suitable warehouses. -
The result OF their enterprise is That they
get their grain carried TO tide water for
g. % per ton instead of paying $3.50 as
they had been doing, which is ! saving to
them Of $4,000 the first year of the
roads existence. The experience of these
California farmers proves that under favor
able conditions narrow gauge road can
be and has been built and equipped for
less money than would have been paid ~
the people Of the district through which'it
rams for freight alone in single year.

1t was quite source Of annoyance and
disappointment to many that the ferry
boat made no trips yesterday. 1t was not
altogether owing to the heavy gale blow-
Ing on the river. we understand, but to the
treacherous landing at foot of Eagle street,
the blame is to be laid. The boat would
run, we understand, were she permitted
to land at Washington street --Dau. Dem.,
24M
That's all in your eye. Mayor Gait took
the conceit out Of that story. The. landing
at Eagle is just as safe as at any point OF
the levee, and the grade is easier than nj
apv other point. If the few cobble stones
put in there by request of the ferry com
pany don't suit the ferry company then tho
ferry company can take them out.

The readers of THE ARGUS remember

THE ARGUS fully agrees with him that
the late political earthquake which pre-
vailed from the Atlantic to the Pacific can
not be called a party triumph. 1t is in no
sense Democratic victory 1t is an utter
defeat and reputation Of the Republican
party, but it is not a Democratic triumph.
The people did not decide that they want
ed Democratic congress. They decided
that they did not want a Republican CON
gress. The Democrats are on trial tor the
coming two years. If they shall ignore
the Fernando Woods, the Dan Voorhceses
and all that class of old tricksters and wire
pullers. and bring to the front unobjection'
able men, and devote their energies to leg
islation for the greatest number; to legis-
lation for the toiling millions instead OF the
favored few: devote themselves to earnest
vigorous work hold short sessions waste
no time or money on frivolous and unim'
portant objects; nominate good, sound,
unobiectonable ticket, the people will then
sustain that party and elect its candidates
But if the Democracy shall fail to meet
public expectation in these respects, ther
the people will iuaugurate new part!
which will sweep the country They hav'
repudiated the Republican party and WI
not 20 back to that party,even it the Dem
o ,raes fail TO meet their wants. They ha''
not Endorsed the Democratic party, bu
have only placed it On trial,
