There is strong effort being made to
have the council at its regular meeting.
reconsider the vote on the water main
question. Since the defeat of that mea-
sure its real advantage to the city has been
made more apparent and many who OPP
posed it are now strong in its favor. The
council will probably act on the question
and it is hoped that its final passage will
be secured. If its actual merit were fully
understood, the voice of the people would
be almost unanimous for it.

MOLINE, Ills, Sept. eth 1875.
To MOLINE CORRESPONDENT The ARGUS.
Dear Sir:-Please not use the remark swede, any
more than you do German or American in the Mo-
| line column of THE ARGUS; 1t looks mean and you
Will lose subscribers.
The remark 'Swede" is not used only
when occasion requires it; but if that ele-
ment will insist on getting into trouble
more than the German" or American it
is their fault and not that of The ARGUS
if its appearance is pleasantly frequent.
The ARGUS treats all alike, and will con.
tinue to pursue that course irrespective of
creeds, or nationalities. There is no inten-
ton to cast ridicule or opprobrium upon
any nationality.
