Mr.. Blaine illustrated anew his provok-
ing capacity for falling just short of states
manship. One fly makes the ointment oil
the apothecary to stink. The name of one
man singled out for continued prescription
in an act of general amnesty destroys,
utterly, the moral value of the national
clemency. 1t is strange, almost incompre-
hensible, that SO bright man as Mr..
Blaine should not see this, and the reason
of it.-SprinQfeld (Mass.) Repabuttcaa
But it will strike more cool-headed
people, and those who have 10 axe to grind,
that in the first place he failed in the
essential point in his task, namely,to prove
that the connection of Davis with the affair
was so damning as he asserted at the
outset; and in the next place, he utterly
forgot to note that, If his assertions in
regard to his conspicuous relation to that
horrid prison pen are true, the attempt to
punish him simply by an exclusion from
amnesty is most painful and CHASTITY
farce Others as guilty escaped.
Some of them are now in congress. The
time for judicial severity was allowed to q

CIRCUIT COURT.
The Burlingame Gang broken Up

The trial of John Burlingame, for steal
ing large amount of copper from the old
Rock Island distillery, ended Wednesday
evening, About ten witnesses were ex-
amined for the prosecution. No evidence
was offered Tor the defense, The jury
was out about an hour and brought in
verdict of three years and four months in
the penitentiary.
This entirely breaks up the gang which
has infested this vicinity for so many years,
and whose headquarters swas at old Phin.

First Joe Lundon was sent to the
penitentiary for three years, for the
larceny of sails from P. t. McElhsr ne' S

and Jack Forsythe, for three years, the for
mer for the murder uf Geo Brace and the
latter for stealing rope from Renwick s

And now it is said that old Phin. Bur

A Mistaken Organ.

The personal organ OF the Butler Re
publican ring seems still to be under the
impression that the mayor is not mem
Der OF the city council, as it occasionally
speaks of two thirds majority" having
been obtained on some of the factional
fgments of the Butler clique The per-
sonal organ of the Butler faction needs in
formation, badly.
The city charter declares that the city
council shall be composed of mayor and
two aldermen from each ward. Now, sup
pose some one should ask, What number
Of members or persons compose your
city council ?''-what would the answer
be? IF the answer should be ten, would
that be truthful answer? Ofcourse not
There are FIVE wards in the city, and two
aldermen from each ward,-making ten
persons. But, is that all? No, The
charter says the council shall be composed
of mayor and two aldermen from each
ward, making the council number eleven
persons.
1t is an evasion Of the question to talk
about whether the mayor has vote or
not. 1t is not aquestion of whether the
mayor can vote or whether he can no,
vote. His duties and his rights IN respect
of that and other matters are defined in
the charter which says that he is mem
Der of the city council. authorized by Law
to be elected. If, then, he is member o.
the council he must be counted as one O
the members when enumerating how
many members there are. There is n,
fair mode of evading this plain fact, TIL,
council is composed of eleven persons O.
members, and, as seven is not two-third
of eleven, the Butler ring has never over
ruled any act Of the mayor removing an
man from Office. or vetoing any bill, appro
ton or ordinance.
4 When Judge Peasants shall decide tina
the mayor is not member of the cit
council, authorized by law to be elected
or when he shall decide that seven is two
thirds of eleven, it will then be tim
enough for the personal organ of the But
| Ter Republican faction to boast of its two
thirds majonty-but not till then.

THE ROCK ISLAND BUSINESS
COLLEGE.
It's Progress During the Last Four
Years--Tts Present Quarters.


It's Progress During the Last Four
Years--Tts Present Quarters.
The Rock Island Business College was
opened in this city four years ago, by Prof.
Thee. A. Frey, with very small attend
ance. The effort to start bust ness
college in this city had, for some reason,
always been opposed, aud for while
everything looked dark and gloomy to
Prof. Frey. He worked hard, both day
and night, and now it can be said, his col
leg is the only one, of many attempts. that
has survived the first hard struggle.
Since the opening of this college, how
ever, the number of pupils has steadily
increased until they now number l22-for
both day and night school, about one third
OF whom are from the country, and quite a
number from small towns in this state and
Iowa. II also has scholars from Pennsyl
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Missouri and Kansas.
Prof. Frey is now permanently established
in Negus's block, and this is the most
comuodious building be has yet occupied,
and is entirely suited to his purpose.
The large hall is used as study room.
1t has been newly furnished with tables,
chairs, etc., and will now acc9modate $50
or 275 scholars
In the southeast corner of the room,
and at the head of the stairs, is Prof
Frey's Office, which is handsomely carpet
ed and furnished with sofa and easy
chairs. while the walls, not only of the Of
fee, but also of the study room, are ad
dorned with handsome pen drawings by
Prof. NJ. J. Goldsmith.
Next to the Office, on the south side oil
the room is large book case in which is
kept the ink, paper, text books, blank
books, pens, ETC., used in the college. The
pupils use pen expressly for the college
on which is stamped the college name
and every one declares it to be OF very fine
make.
The stage has been divided into two
very comfortable rooms, one being uset
as a recitation and the other as prepare
tory room.
TIE study room is being fitted up will
desks and counters for actual business
among the students, they using colleg
currency, notes, drafts, checks, etc., ant
buy and sell goods, stock and real estate
thus giving item an actual knowledge o
the business.
The whole college is we'll heated an
