Our New Vetoer.

Two vetoes from Mayor Butler will be
found in this paper, and which will be
presented at the next regular meeting of
the city council.
For rs years the city printing has been
considered bit of political patronage-as
much so as city clerk, marshal, attorney,
or any other position. The party having a
majority in the city council has always
claimed and taken the city printing, the
same as any other Office or posi- ton.
Mayor Butler himself for the last two ad
ministrations has, as an alderman. sat in
the council and seen that patronage go to
his organ without murmur about mon
opoly. He had no desire for competition
then. lie never made move, during his
two years service as alderman, to secure
any benefit to the city by compe tition-be-
cause has organ aoas then enjoying the
monopoly! But when Democratic coun-
Gil directs city officers to get their printing
at The ARGUS Office, provided the prices
shall not exceed those charged individuals
for the same kind of work, Our New
Caesar" comes in with his lone man power
and objects. To be consistent or fair is
not Butlerian attribute. He did not
make an effort to secure competition in the
effice of clerk, marshal, attorney, or
any other position which he could control
under the mayors law, Competition OF
| enconomy was not thought of then-al-
though there was good opportunity for
it. He regarded those places as political
patronage; and so he did the city printing
as long as he was an alderman and as long
as his organ was getting it. And so it has
always been regarded by all adminis;ra.
tons. But when a Democratic council
passes resolution to do just what has
been done for 80 years, and just what
everybody has acquiesced in for 80 years,
viz: that the printing was "a little bit of
political patronage. like the other positions
then Mr. Butler interferes and says "N II
| take all the offices without giving the
people any benefit of competition, but this
little business of city printing | will lay
down on because it is going to THE AR
GUS" That is the amount of Mayor But
lers veto on that matter.
The ward supervisor ordinance ht
vetoas, as he claims, on account Of econom,
but his figures amount to nothing, for b,
has to guess that the amount of work has
been about the same every year-a very
uncertain guess,

Trysinger Convicted.

Our Geographic news is that Frysinger
and Seaverns have been found guilty Ct
defrauding the U. S. revenue. The rumor

guilty on three counts. Of course they
will ask for a new trial. and probably be
refused, then for a stay of judgment, and

earnest about revenue robbers, and
a reasonably suspicious case is pretty sure
to fud a verdict of guilty Why Frysin-
gar should have paid .Sl75 car to get
whisky from this city to Englewood when
the regular freight was only $50 can not
be explained on any hypothesis ofinnocense.
But what puzzles the people is to know
how Frysinger can be guilty and Deacon
llawes and five or six more revenue officers
innocent. That's what nc fellah can find
out! But We suppose that will al! he ex-
planned, 10 good time.

April Sth. 1876.

To the City Council of the City of Rock
Island:
GENTLENIEN:-I have vetoed the ordin-
ance passed April 3rd 1876 entitled IAN
ordinance establishing the office of Ward
Supervisors" and respectfully return the
same for your reconsideration.
In my opinion the interests of the city
would be better subserved by allowing the
law to remain unchanged. If the total
expenses for salaries of ward supervisors
should be that now allowed to one street
commissioner a ward supervisor would
receive but one hundred dollars year.
This would, in most cases, be too little tc
procure the services of man competent tC
fill the office, and the ward supervisors
would generally be incompetent men OF
men who expect to get some other com.
pensation than the salary. Five hundred
to one thousand dollars will usually be
salary enough to secure the services of a
good street, commissioner, experienced in
the kind of work required.
| submit herewith statement showing
the expenses of street work in 1871, 1877
and 1878 under the ward supervisor sys
tenn and in 1874 and 1875 under stree
commissioner. and from this make the fol
lowing extracts:

Accounts OF oversser's of Poor.

Supervisor Aster is getting up blank
book in which to keep an accurate account
of his doings as overseer of poor, and from
which he can make complete and perfect
report any day in the year. The book will
be ruled and printed to. order, and under
the proper headings will be shown the
name of each person relieved or supported
at county expense; their place of birth;
sex; age; condition or infrmity; cause of
relief-whether lunacy. idiocy, intemper
ance, accident, or whatever the cause may
be; the manner in which relief is afforded,
whether by money, or orders, and if by or
ders who drawn on; the amount of relief;
the date; and the place of residence, ward
or district, the street or road; between
what streets, and in whose house; and how
long resident of the town. Mr.. Aster's
book will not be private book" as
krell's was,if he ever had any, but it will be
open to all the newspapers or to citizens
who may desire to look at it at any time
lie believes that the acts of public Off
Ger are public property and that the officer
is the servant or agent Of the people.
The book is being made at THE ARGUS
Bindery, and when it shall be shown TO
the board of supervisors it would not be
strange if one should be ordered for each
township-at least for those towns where
there is much use for one The book
should be large enough for several years,
and be passed to his successor in office, SO
that it can be seen who and what sort of
people are supported by public charity.

A Rock Island gentleman who was over
the river on Sunday afternoon, tells of a
cowardly ARRAY which he witnessed on
Brady, between Third and Fourth streets.
Two men, under the influence of iouor.
came out of a saloon and began an attack
upon third man, vino was passing at the
time. The attack was apparently without
provocation, and the man tried to defend
himself. His assailants then drew knives
and ''slashed' him with them pretty bad
ly. lie however managed to get away and
ran off at full speed, pursued by the two
rufiians, whom he managed to outstrip.
There was no police in sight at the lime
Rock Island Union.
With one or two exceptions the above is
correct. There was no "affray" at any
point in this city on Sunday afternoon
there is no saloon" on Brady between
Third and Fourth where two men under
the influence of liquor" could come out of;
there was no third party "slashed' with
knives; he didn't run away; and Police
man Pursell was on Brady between Third
and Fourth on Sunday afternoon. The
Rock Island gentleman who was over the
rive" must have been inhaling the in.
spiration they set on" on Front street.

To the Cau Council ofthe City of Rock
Island.
GENTLEMEN:-I respectfully return to
you for your reconsideration the resolution
ordering all city officers to procure all
blanks, printing, binding and ruling from
The ARGUS PRINTING COMPANY.
Section of an ordinance for the pre-
servation of the ordinances of the City
Council provides that certain ordinances
shall be published in the newspaper pub
fishing the proceedings of the City Council
Section Article II of the city charter
requires the appointment of a newspaper
to publish the ordinances of the city.
There seems to be no other necessity for
appointing any particular person or COM
pany to do city printing. Such mon
opoly would tend to deprive the city of
the benefits of competition, between the
different printing Offices There seems to
be an equally good reason for appointing
particular merchant to furnish any city
supplies and obliging all city officers to
purchase from him.
