We dislike excessively TO see THE ARGUS make
itself ridiculous, because THE ARGUS is a Rock
Island institution and would like to be able to
feel proud of every Rock Island institution We
are sadly afraid though, If ii keeps in the way il
has been conducting itself of late that it'll have
be adjudCei insane and sent to Jacksonville or
ranged with the slough as institutions that should
be wiped out Union.
Our very friendly neighbor may give
himself no uneasiness on the sanity ques-
tion, ard as for the ''wiping on" business
that has been tried several times during
the last 25 years. and always with very
poor success. THE ARGUS has seen about
dozen newspapers start and die, here
during that time, while the people have
always been so kindly disposed towards
THE ARGUS that it has lived and fourished,
At one tina during the war it was the
only paper which could live here-the
others all died. Don't worry, neighbor,
in regard to the "wiping OUT question
unless on your own account.

THE GRAND UNIoN.-New York
This hotel has gained wide popularity
both on account of its eligible situation-it
being directly opposite the Grand Central
Depot-and the excellent manner in which
it is kept. By stopping at this house,
guests save the heavy expense of carriage
hire and expressage, baggage being carried
to and from the depot without charge. Il
is first class IN every respect, and yet the
rates of charges are lower than at any
other first class house in the city. 1t is

men are scarcely half employee.
The fe trade is far from being
active, and saw and edge tool
branches are growing duller. The
scissor smiths find workveryscanty-
cheap German goods having in
many instances, supplanted local
products, because of the much low.
err prices at which they can be
bought. Comparatively few Of the
large works are more than half
employed. The railway branches
are dull, and the engineers COM
plan that orders are becoming
more scanty than ever. In the
gun manufacture there is some
signs Of Improvement and one or
two steel houses are busy on Tur-
kish account, but u sudden stop
page of the war in that quarter
doubtless would reverse the situa-
ton. Turning to the Continent
we find substantially the same con
ditiOn of thing existing. The
French iron trade is still in q very
unsatisfactory condition. Some
privileged works ale enabled to
afeintaln a small current business
but upon the whole, the crisis
which has so long prevailed still
continues with almost uudimiuish-
ed intensity. For merchants
iron there is a pretty good demand
but the same cannot be said of
plates, rails and iron for brldg->
building purposes. This is espec'
Tally due to the competition OF
steel. The coal trade of Vest
phalia was suffering more than
ever from the general stagnation
and prices threaten to become as
unremunerative as they were be-
fore 1870. The iron trade there
is almost as depressed as the coal.

ILLEGAL VOTING IN THE PR,
MARY.

We are reliably informed that
one man acknowledges that he
voted twenty-five votes for Park
and would have voted more but
could not get the tickets. There
is DO doubt about it. Republicans
and negroes voted for Mr.. Park
ia the Primary, yet he claims on
the strength Of such votes to be
the nominee and choice of the
sound Democracy Of Greene Go.
We are credibly informed, too,
thst Mr.. Park encouraged men of
all parties to vote.
He. also, admits copsenting to
to dispensing with the Primary
in a District which would have
cast their vote for another person.
We don't take such Democrats
in ours. No, not at this time when
there are FIVE others on the track,
all of whom are good men.
