The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1876-10-21

We cannot see the sense of taxing the
people of Illinois so heavily as to keep
$2,5O0,OO0 constantly on hand in the state
treasury. 1t simply gives few men abp' t
Springfield that amount of money to bank
upon. The interest nit will average five per
cent. on $2,00O,000, aud that is 100000
into somebody's pocket every year. 1t is
not right The state is out of debt, and
there should not be dollar 10 the state
treasury beyond what is actually needed.
State warrants would be good as gold, even
though the taxes did not come in for six
months. The money should remain with
the people until it is needed for the public
service, instead of drawing it from their
pockets so that state officers may get the
benefit of it.

that he Gregory rose and said he could
not take any position that would at all in
terfere with his duties in the schools; that
he was servant of all the people and it
would not be right to neglect his duties for
a party meeting. DIR. M. says the story
that the schools were to be closed on
Friday grew out of the fact that one of the
teachers closed her school for that day on
account of the funeral of relative. and
that very many really believed the entire
schools were closed on account of the
lneersoll meeting. Morey also says
Gregory did not sign the notice having his
name to it Il. Gregory Lit Col
Com g"-but that he (Morey) put the
name there without Gregory's knowledge
This is the explanation DIR. Morey wants
made in order to set Gregory right before
the tax payers who support the schools, -
and we cheerfully give the statement as
made to us, by Morey. But We notice
that the Union says:
special train brought down number of the
Moline Minute Men, in charge of Prof. Gregory,
with bend of music. Especial credit is due rrof
G. for his interet in the meeting and his earnest
Efforts in ts behalf.
Now,it occurs to us that school teachers
and clergymen had better leave political
| meetings and political committees and pc
| litical wire pulling and electioneering alone.
| A school teacher who takes as jealous an
interest in politics as Gregory does can not
be as useful to the schools as one who
leaves politics and politicians alone. One
who is known as politician cannot exercise
so good an influence in regard to studies
of pupils as one who is devoted to his pro
fession and leaves politics to politicians
All clergymen, and all school teachers
should express their opinions by ballo'
election day, if they desire to-but the
very nature Of their callings, and the fac
that the people who pay them have differ.
ent political opinions, should cause them tt
avoid anything like active participation il
party politics. There are plenty of younl
men who are ready to cavort around or
horseback, with turkey feathers in theil
hats and piece of bloody shirt arounC
their waists, with cigar in their mouths
and ready to drink good deal Of whisky
for the party. But school teachers, who
are paid by the common taxation of all
and whose pupils are children of parents
holding diverse political views, had better
leave politics alone, as far as any active
participation liz party management is con
cerned. Their calling is different one.

Bob rneeraoll.s rnaiana speech I,,.

1t appears in the Unson sthis morning
1t was matter Of convenience to the
Onion to copy it from another paper and
have it in type, all ready to publish as
soon as the meeting here had taken place.
1t is the same speech he delivers every
where. 1t is a good specific make
Democrats, and is probably a better
speech than anybody else can make on that
side. 1t contains good many stories that
can be used just as well on one side as the
other, but there are few people who can
relate them as well as Bob. The appica-
ton of some of them was SC obscure that
nobody, not even Bob, could see where the
laugh comes in, though Bob was generally
the first man to laugh at his own stories.
But it was good speech-for the Demo.
Gratis. He made every possible effort to
draw the attention of the people away
from the rascalities of the Republican
party managers, their extravaganza
enormous and unnecessary expenditures
their hundred thousand Office holders, the
burdensome taxation they lnfict on the
people, their robbery of the revenues
etc., etc., and, instead, he told his funny
stories and talked about the war, slavery
etc.. etc. matters long since passed int
history and not in issue now. At larg,
and liberal estimate there were not ovel
1000 people present, including womer
and children. A very large proportion
were Democrats, who were much strength
ened in their zeal for Tilden and reform
by Bcb's speech, and we have heard th,
names of more than score of Republi
cans who since hearing Bob's speech hav,
concluded to vote for Tilden. There is
letter from one Of them in this paper
We very much regret that many peopl,
we're kept away by the inclement weather
for the more people hear Bob the more
votes Tilden will get.

INTERMITrENT FEvER is SO cnmmon in

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertiou. low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural i'm plements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now il
is equally necessary for those who are
brought 10 contact with any of the causes
leading tointeImittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
