Sociable in the basement of the Metho
dist church on tuesday evening. Invita-
tion general.
Regular monthly meeting Of the council
tonight Lock out for plenty Of talk, and
cheap ba,nconbe on the bridge and switch
questions.
On Saturday afternoon an apparently
insane woman was arrested by Officer Olsen
for going from house to house and begging,
and acting in manner calculated to ex-
cite suspicion. She refused to give her
name or explain her conduct, and was,
therefore, lodged in the calabOose. Sub
sequently she was released and taken to
Supervisor Smith, oYerseer of poor, for
disposition.
j. d. Long requests the announcement
of his name as an independent candidate
for assistant supervisor. He is no doubt
put forward by the Temperance element,
and can hardly expect to be elected. The
German element will vote solid for Capt.
Timm, who is a gentleman of education
and fully qualified to fill the position.
fTimm is liberal Republican and should
be elected Tie Germans have always
been friendly to Long, and why he should
run in opposition to man who is acknowl-
edged to be leading man in that elemen;
does not appear plain, unless it be as the
champion of the crusade element. 1t is
hoped he will withdraw and make the
election of Capt. Timm unanimous. The
selection of David O. Reid and August
Timm. for supervisors, is a good one
Moline Republican Caucus.
The caucus at the engine house on Sat
urday evening was attended by the Re
publican township committee and probably
20 persons in all. After a few hurried
words among the faithful the meetins

after which J. Nj. Gould was elected chair
man and W. e. Morris secretary, wEer
the meeting proceeded to nominate town

The Enforcement Act Decision.

The two opinions delivered in the su,
preme court yesterday by Chief Justice
W aite on cases arising under the enforce
ment act of May 81, 1870, for acts COM
mitted in Louisiana and Kentucky re-
spectively, are timely and will do much to
mark more clearly the relations of the
United States to the various states II mat
ters relating to the suffrage. 1t was, per
haps. natural that in the period succeed
ing the rebellion, Ehen the ccutripetal force
evolved in that great struggle were still
acting, that Republican congress should
ovcrstep the limits OF the constitution in
it's haste to sccure the neral aud material
fruits of giving citizenship to the negro
The constitutional amendments forbade.
the states to "abrIdgc" the privileges or
imm unities of any citizen of the United
States, or the right to vote of any citizen
on account Of race, color or previous condi
ton of servitude; but the triumphant
majority in congress leaped at once to the
extreme of making the appropriate legis-
lation" the vehicle for creating new
privileges which the constitution did not
confer, and decreeing unconstitutional
pains and penalties for the denial of the
privileges so created. With a general
election looming up and the country in a
calm mood to consider constitutional imi-
tations it is we'll to hear the voice of the
supreme court rebuking such legislation,
and declaring it imperative for want OF
power and incapable, in its penal parts, of
application for want of precision. In the
| Grant Parish case the indictment is COM
pletely riddled In the opinion of the su-
preme court, the United States cannot be
called on to do mere police duty in the
states,' the offences which the prisoners
were charged with conspiring to commit
being such only as are within the scope OF
state laws. The invasion of the right Of
assembly is forbidden to congress, but it is
| matter for the states to forbid such in
yasions to its own citizens. And so with
the other offenses a conspiracy to commi
which were charged. The Kentucky cast
presents another branch of the subject
but equally brings in clear light the con
stitutional nullity of certain sections of ths
enforcement act. Politically speaking, thes
decisions will, doubtless, act iniuriousy ol
the prospects of the Republican party il
the south, but it is high time for returi
to constitutional limits, and no party is de
serving of success that cannot win within
them.-N. y. Herald.

Teach Your Chill dren to Swim.

Capt. Webb, the great swimmer,
writes, in CaSSeN's Family Magaaine:
SIT is the duty of every parent to insist
on his sons learning to swim. To teach
a very young child to swim, the best
place is a large puddle in the sand at
low tide. The child, like a puppy, will
begin by padding. If you throw a cork
into the water, you will see the puppy
run in up to its depth and give Il short
bark; and the chances are, especially
if there is a grown up dog that can
swim to set him an example, than in a
day or two he will take his plunge of
his own accord, and very proud he will
be of his first success; only here again,
don't overdo it. AS soon as the puppy
has been in, walk away, and call him,
and he will be more anxious to go into
the water another time. Now, treat
your child like your puppy. Entice
him to go in, and if you can get some
older child who can swim to go in with
him all the better, but let the child do
Just as he likes. Get two children to
play at splashing n another; they
will enjoy the fun, and gradually get
ting excited, will venture in deeper and
deeper"
