Investigation Needed.

The Union, speaking of TIE purchase of
the boat and team for ferry at Milan, in-
Inmates that there is corrupt swindle in
the transaction. 1t says There is no pos
sble excuse for the job-apart from its
pecunidry UaIue toany participant. And
it also speaks Of ''h0Se uho hare been d.
rectiy interested IN the job ~ These words
mean, if they mean anything, that Mayor
Davenport, and Aldermen Yates and Wo
lenhaupt are guilty Of some kind of cor
rupt transaction--a fraud or swindle upon
the city treasury The bare inSinuation
of anything Of that kind demands instant
investigation, and we call upon the alder
men who may be at the council meeting,
to- morrow evening, to demand commit
tee of investigation who shall make a writ
ten report of the facts. Andif the charges
of the Union shall be sustained we demand
that these officials be expelled from office.
If they are using their positions to put up
Job on the city treasury and "partici
pate" in it, let the fact be known at once.
And if the Union is guilty of a SANDER up
on men who are doing their best to carry
out the orders ofthe council, let that fact
be known,

Relief Wanted.

The people in town and country want
some adequate means provided, immedi-
ately, to get across Rock river, at Milan
and the Union gives them column of
trash about Democratic aldermen, Repub-
lican aldermen, etc, dd nduSedn. If pol
itics has anything to do with the matter
nobody but the Union can perceive it.
The council unanimously ordered COM
mittee to be appointed, with directions to
provide some means Of ferrying across
Rock river" The committee carried out
the order which the council unanimously
passed. Every Republican alderman
voted to pay the bill If politics had any
thing to do with the matter we can not
perceive it. If the aldermen did not like
the work of the committee they had only
to say so and the means of ferrying
across Rock river would have been re-
turned the next morniDg--and they were
SO informed before they voted. But it
seems that they did like it for they all
voted for it except AID. Atkinson. And
now the Union asks that the Republican
aldermen be excused from any responsible
ity in the matter-which is childish.
If there is anything which disgusts the
people, about this time, it is to hear poll
tics talked about in connection with pro-
viding adequate facilities for crossing the
river at Milan. 1t is relief that the peo-
pie want-not the politics of aldermen.
And the general opinion seems to be that
a temporary trestle bridge or pontoon
bridge is needed at once. The council
meets tomorrow evening to hear report
from Aid. Butler and Carse about the
bridges, and the people will expect some
action which will relieve them of present
embarrassment in regard to crossing the
river. Instead of wrangle about politics
or about what every one of them Except
Atkinson) Endorsed, let them go to work
with united and harmonious effort to
furnish adequate crossing facilities, of
some sort, and dispose of the boat.

A Case of Insanity.

George Sweeney, brother of Messrs
4. d. and w. L. Sweeney, will be remem-
bered as soldier in the late war, and
since the war at times suffering partial in-
sanity He lives with his son, in the east
ern part of this city, and of late has been
very wild-generaly on the subject of re-
ligion. His friends found it necessary to
apply to the county court for authority to
take him to the insane asylum and this
friday forenoon his case was examined
before Judge Guyer and jury. 1t APP
peared in evidence that while in the war his
horse fell upon him iniuring him severely.
Lately DIR. Gregg performed surgical
operation upon him, which seemed to par
TALLY relieve him, hut he has been SO vio-
lent of late, that the asylum is the only
safe place for him. He was adjudged in.
sane, and Mr.. Aug. Hergert, the turnkey,
will start Tor Jacksonville with him in the
morning. 1t is hoped that he may, with
the care and iudicious treatment to be had
there, be restored to health.

TIE Union is evidently under the i'm

The Union is evidently under the i'm
preston that Republicans haye no respon-
sibility for anything that is done by the
city council. 1t talks about ''the Demo
cratic attempt to shirk the responsibility"
in regard to the ferry at Milan. Just ex-
actly what it means we do not know
Certainly The ARGUS never alluded to
politics in connection with the matter. The
Union was the first to mention politics in
regard to it. Did it ever occur to the
Union that there are Republicans and
only 4 Dem crats in the board of alder
men? The Democrats have not the power
in the council to carry single measure
and if any party is responsible for this ad
ministration it is the Republican party. 1t
certainly is not Democratic administra.
ton, and the Democrats are not response
BILE for its acts. When the Democrats
have majority in the council they will
then take the responsibility for whatever
may be done. 1t looks just little bit as
though the Republicans, after having Sc
cured the paying Offices, wish now to shirk
all responsibility for the acts of the
administration. Let them face the music,
or resign.

Rapid Sale of Pianos.

Only three days ago Epstein& West ad-
vertised to sell their first class pianos at
net cost, and have during yesterday and
to day sold one to Mrs. Harold of Moline,
a Grand Union Piano; Square Grand
Hallet & Davis make to Mr.. Ben Harper,
Of this city, also one of the same kind to
Mrs. Tower, of Andulusia. Several other
parties were examining with view of
purchasing. No such opportunity to Sc
cure high priced pianos at cost has every
been offered. They are determined to
close out their entire stock to make room
for new pianos now on the way. Now is
the time; only few more remain.
