THE CENTRAL FACTORY CUES.
TION IN THE DIET.
-@eaa@-

@saa@~
The Draft of Law on Central Factories
in St. Croix was discussed the first time
in the FoIketing (Lower House, on the
18th OF last month We give so much
Of the discussion as the papers received
contain. 1t will be noticed that those
who spoke on the question were United
Left Men, and this party is also said to
be stronger in the Committee appointed
on the matter than the other side of the
House. We have full confidence that the
Left will not consider this Il party. ques-
ton but that Left and Right will do what
is right in a question on which the future
of an old DANISH Colony so much depends.
The following was the gist Of the discus
sion: I'll. Nielsen expressed regret that the
economical relations of an island as fertile
as St. CroiX were so unfortunate. 1t
must be acknowledged, he said, that the
bad statg1oi attaifs arose principally from
the way the estates are worked, but the
speaker very much doubted whether such
measures from above as those contained in
the draft would be any assistance. The
people must takF the matter in their own
hands. He remarked that the motives of
thepresent draft reminded one ofthOse of the
one in 1870-7l which proposed q contri-
button for four years and a loan without
interest. The motives of both were the
unfortunate state of the island, principal
ly owing to the costly administration, the
labOur regulations, the %antiquated system of
sugar manufacture and the cOmmlngIing
Of the manufacture with agriculture. The
speaker acknowledged that the island re-
CURED assistance, and believed also that the
Diet was inclined to promote the prosperity
of the island, but it was doubtful whether
the draft went in the right direction. The
guarantee from the Colonial Treasury sig
niGed very little. The matter must be
carefully considered.
Bajer agreed with Tn. Nielsen. If the
contemplated measures, he said, did not
8 lcceed, the island would be ruined. Opin-
ion among planters had not been very
enthusiastic for the Factories, Great
weight could not be attached to the votes
Of the Crown Members in the Colonial
Council. Perhaps for the present it would
be preferable to erect only one factory
S0reRSeR doubted that Central Factories
would be any great help and wished that
Government would give more satisfactory
calculations.
The Minister Of Finances dwelt on the
great merit of Governor Garde in having
taken up and carefully examined the Cen
trail Factory question. The manufacture
of sugar was now q kind of domestic af-
fair, the estates being too small to bear
the expenses connected with the introduce
tion Of heavy machinery such as required.
The Planters had also now their eyes
open to the fact that the agriculture was
not what it ought to be. At all the pub
lie meetings held opinions had been ia
vourable to the establishment of factories.
In answer to Bajer he observed that it was
no small majority in the Council when 10
out of Is e were absent) had pronounced
in favour of the new scheme.

Malicious Mischief,

On the excursion to Cordova yesterday
there were FIVE or six young scamps, living
in the lower end of town, and belonging to
what is sometimes called the Exchange
street gang" who hid themselves in a
barge and we're not discovered until On the
return trip, when one of them was caught
"going through" the lunch baskets. Those
having charge of the excursion spoke to
them rather sharply and threatened to
prosecute them, just to scare them. When
the boat arrived at our levee the whole
gang jumped into the water, waist deep,
before the boat landed. fearing arrest.
And now it appears that they took their
revenge by going to the new Methodist
church, on Exchange street, and throwing
mud and stones against the walls and
ceiling, and knocking off considerable
plastering, requiring the whole work to be
done over again. The church had JUS
been plastered and kalsomined, and the
walls were hardly dry.
Tue police are looking for those two
Smith boys, well known in that part Of
town, and boy named Mccormick. The
scoundrels who are guilty of this yillainou'
act should be required to make good The
damage, and pay an exemplary fine be
sides, All tenderness toward such vaga
bonds is misplaced.

creature named Martha Wiser alias Nc.
hurry, has existed on Dock street between
Orleans and Rock river, and lately on the
corner of Dock and Orleans, and the police
went there with the intention OF arresting
her some time ago, but her child had
broken its arm that day and they took pity
on the woman and did not arrest her. But
lately there has been complaint made by
the neighbors, of goings in and out there at
all hours of night, and last night Police
men Chris. Mitsch and German pulled"
the place, finding two women and a mani
and took them to Jail. This morning they
gave their names as John Stebbins, of
Moline, Sarah Z. Fries, aud the woman
Wiser or McMurry. After hearing the
evidence they were fined $40 and costs
each. Stebbins protested that he was in
nocent and hadn't done anything for which
he ought to be fined, and tried to lay the
blame ON the women. He managed to pay
$7.75, and was sent to Jail until Monday
when he will be put to work on the streets
for the balance of his fine.
The woman, Wiser, sent her traps to
Lundy's and will leave town, the proceeds
Of the few things she had being applied
towards the fines of the women.
VIM. Butterworth, the old man arrested
and sent to Jail few days ago for being
drunk and abusing his wife, was arrested
again Thursday afternoon by Policeman
Rinehart, on complaint of his wife, who
asked to have him held in bonds to keep
the peace. After hearing the evidence he
was held in 800 bonds to keep the peace
toward the public generally and Mrs.
Butterworth in particular, for four months.
Failing to get bail he went to jail
This case should have been reported
yesterday and an ARGUS reporter called
on Mr.. Chopper at his Office yesterday
afternoon and politely asked him if he had
had any police cases that day, and was
answered that he had not. Was this an.
swer made with the intention of preventing
The ARGUS from reporting the case first
If so let the people know it.

The daughters of some of our best citizens

their manners, as we'll as in the branches
really secondary, but by many placed above
the graces which constitute the true lady,
with the pupils of other institutions, and
the contrast was, in our minds, always ia
vorable to the Sisters pupils.
This examination gave great satisfaction
to the friends and parents of the pupils,
who were in attendance in large numbers
both days. We were pleased to find thai
the Sisters have procured, for the school
a splendid philosophical set, the only com

Tramps too lazy to work, still infest this
city, begging and stealing for living.
One of them, rather well dressed and
well preserved young fellow, came into this
Office at noon, begging for something to
eat, making pathetic appeal on the
ground that he had not eaten anything
since yesterday, As hewent out the door,
he was met by w. s. Myton, ESQ, who
asked him why he didn't go to his house
yesterday afternoon, and go to work as he
promised. It appears that the fellow had
made the same appeal to Mr.. Myton yes
terdaY, who gave him some money to get
a square meal, and car ticket to ride up
to his house, with instructions to do some
work, for which he promised to pay him,
but the fellow didn't want to work as long
as he could get square meals without it.
And there are many such trolicking
around this city, awaiting only tor an OPP
portunity to steal, perhaps, if they cannot
beg living.-Dau. Dem.
No valid excuse can be rendered for
begging by tramps, such as described above.
In no country on earth is there so little ex-
cuse for begging as in the United States.
No country in the world offers such facili-
ties for easily procuring living or of &C.
cumulating property. If a man, or wo.
man, in good health, cannot accumulate
and save the means for a comfortable liv
ing the fault is their own. They are eth
er lazy, or extravagant, or something Of
the sort. Industry and economy are sure
to bring every man and woman the means
of living decently. And the fault of mo-
having the means of living is with those
who are iu want, as general thing
They are either lazy, idle, shiftless. o.
spend their earnings improperly.
There is little or no excuse for beinl
beggarly poor, in this country-but thu
law provides for those who are so. PROP
erty is taxed to build aims houses and pro
vide home for the helpless. 1t is safe
therefore, to say that every wanderin
beggar is fraud, and that all such ough
to be discountenaEced and discouraged.

FLORA STATION, Ill., June "a, 1875.
To the Editors of the Rock Island Argus:
In the Chicago Times of Saturday, the
10Th, there appeared an article in relation
to some domestic unpleasantness in the
family of a man designated as Big Joe
Fitzgerald" ana said to be "a railroad en-
gineer or conductor on the Missouri, Kan
sas 4 Texas railroad" Now, as l am
commonly called "Joe Fitzgerald" and re-
sided in Rock Island while acting as con-
ductor on the Rockford, Rock Island & St.
Louis railroad. am informed that some
people in Rock Island think the article has
reference to me and my family l there
fore ask for space in your paper to say
that am not the person alluded to, and
that my good wife and myself are living as
happily together as mortals usually do;
that we have so lived since we left Rock Is
land, and hope to for the remainder of our
natural lives, l am not the victim of
misplaced confidence" alluded to. No evil
shadow has ever darkened our lives, and
my wife and don't believe one ever will.
We highly prize the friendship of many
people in Rock Island and hope never to
forfeit their esteem. Believing that these
| few lines will disabuse the minds of all, |
am Yours truly,
Jos. j. FITZGERALD.
