Arkausa.s

The legislature Of Arkansas has ad-
journed to Nov. i. In the house, previous
to adjournment, notice was given Of bills
for changing the names Of Clayton and
Dorsey counties to Poland and Saylor, re-
spectively. Clayton and Dorsey are the
present scalawag senators. Messrs. Poland
and Saylor were the members of the con-
gressional committee who made the admit
rable report on Arkansas affairs.
Mr.. Maxwell, a colored member, just
before adjournment introduced the follow
ing resolution:
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the gener-
al government fully sustains the present
state government, it behoooves peacelov
ing citizens to encourage industry apd i'm
migration to the stats, and therefore the
house of representatives do now publish
to the people Of the United States that
peace and quiet now prevails, and say te
all those who desire to come among Vi
that we will receive them with open heart:
and warm welcomes, promising to then
safety in person and property and freedom
Of speech.
The resolution was unanimously adopted
Does that look like the Democratsof Arkan
sas were opposed to northern men? TIL
amount of lying which Republican news
papers have done on this point is enougl
to sink their party out of sight in tn
south.

Sinking the Water Pines.

In yesterdays ARGUS was published an
advertisement from the water commission
ers inviting bids for lowering the water
mains and hydrants, as suggested by this
paper on the previous day. 1t is not
probable that any contractor will make q
bid at the bare cost of doing the work, and
if the same energy and good judgment
were to be exercised by the city officials as
would be by contractor considerable
money could probably be saved by doing
the work by the day To do this, howev-
er, superintendent must be employed
who would manage the work as well as he
would do 1t if it were his own private bust
ness. 1t is not easy to find such q man.
There is one other objection to the con-
tract system, viz If the contractor finds
his job an Improbable one he will so en-
cumber the streets or delay the work that
the council will have to give him orders,
and then, complying, he will afterwards
ask for extra pay, as the council changed
his plans and made him extra expense.
It is not difficult for sharp contractor to
either slight his work or so manage it as
to have PLAUSIBLE claim for extra pay.
The best way to get thorough, asatisfac-
tory and permanent job is to do it by the
day

Glad of Increased Taxation.

A Republican is always happy when he
finds a new mode of laying more taxes
upon the people, And when the increased
burdens are placed upon the poor and rich
alike he is especially happy. Few things
please him better than to make poor
man sweat. Rich people are, in his. esti-
nation, entitled to great consideration
but Of what account 70 him is poor man,
except to be taxed. Moline is especially
happy just now, because, under new law,
just signed by the governor, she can make
poor people pay s. SO each for road tax,
and the Moline editor of the Union
rather brags over Rock Island because our
charter only allows US to tax people 1925
each for road taxes. 1t is a notable fact
that Republicans. are always anxious to
tax people. We doubt If the laborers and
operatives in Moline will rejoice that they
are to be compelled to pay $3.50 each in
cash for a, road tax, whether they own a
cent of property or not. The monopolists,
the capitalists, the bankers, aud such peo-
pie will, like the Union man, be happy
to know that they pay no more road tax
than the poor laborer or operative who
own no property--but we doubt if the
average laborer will be pleased with the
arrangement , He will prefer the Rock

NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Charming day.
Maj Beardsley returned from Spring
field this morning.
The Tim Riley examination is not yet
concluded, but it is adjourned to Monday
morning at o'clock.
The old Smyth building, corner Hi
nois street and Market square is leveled
to the ground and John Bengston will
erect in its place the finest and most per-
manent block of stores in the city.
The Broadway Presbyterian society
want the old church folks to sell their old
building and join with them. If they
could find a customer it would be a good
idea. They could then build the finest
church in the county.
1t was congress that did nothing
good which it could avoid doing, and LETT
undone no evil that it could do, Headed
by Ben Butler and tailed by Alderman
Ward, it came in reeking with corruption,
and went out with an attempt to upset the
constitution in the interest of imperial de-
bauchery Chicago Times.
The public are notified that the west
wall of Ritters building, now being ex
posed by the removal of Bengston's old
bailding, is unsafe, and that the city will
not be liable for any damage which may
occur by reason of its insecurity. Mr.
Ritter has made arrangements with Hugh
Ralston to strengthen the wall while the
new building is in process of construction.

desk was large boquet of fresh flowers.
Vice President Wilson called the senate
to order at IL o'clock, and after the read

ators. AS Mr.. johnson advanced to the
desk to take the oath there was great ap-
plause in the galleries, which was soon
checked by the vice president. After he
was sworn in large boquet was handed
him by a page, and he was escorted to hi
seat
At l2:2O, on motion of Mr.. Frelinghuy
sen, the senate took recess till o'clock.

How Republicans Killed the Canal Bill
This morning the Union saws:


THE Hennepin Canal bill failed of pas
sage only through the want of backbone on
the part of the senate conferees, who aban.
doned it with other important western
items, at the demand of the house confer
ees. Had they remained firm with Sena-
tor Window, the house, sooner than see
the whole river and harbor bill fail would
have receded from its position and concur
red in the senate amendments
And the Union then proceeds to charge
that Speaker Blaine appointed an unfriend-
ly conference committee in order to kill our
canal BILL
The house would probably have
passed the bill in the first place had Mr..
Hawley remained firm when he had the
bill in position to command votes. But
he weakened and gave way for the niger
rights bill, and thus lost his advantage and
lost the bill.
We shall not probably bear any more
pompous Dragging about the power of the
Republican party to pass the canal BILL

A Bill which ought not to have been Al
lowed

The supervisors, among lot of bills
allowed for constables, and justices fees
on Monday, allowed $l2.7O fees in the
case Of the people (Mrs John Grelm COM
plainant) VS. B. FL. Kimball. city marshal
of Rock Island. The case is simply this
Mr. Kimball, as city marshal, was taking
prisoner to Jail and Mrs. Greim attacked
him and attempted to rescue the prs
oner. Mr. Kimball declined to be beaten
and properly repulsed the woman and took
his prisoner to Jail This woman COM
planned of him for assault and battery, but
failed to make case, and the justice
dismissed it at the cost of the complaining
witness. Her attorney afterwards made
an effort to induce the magistrate to change
the order so as to relieve her of the costs,
but the magistrate refused to do so. Mrs.
Greim,o or her husband, is abundantly able
to pay the costs and ought to do so, as
ordered by the court She had no case,
and ought to have considered herself
lucky that she was not arrested and taken
to Jail for attacking an officer and interior
ing with him in the discharge of his duty.
And she ought to remember that it is not
too late to prosecute her for that INSIDE
mcanor now. Certainly the people of the
county of Rock Island ought not to be
taxed to pay costs she created without
cause, and which she is abundantly able
to pay and for which judgement was given
against her by the court at the time.
