The first five named compose the David
son party, and the last four the old North
ern Line party. 1t will be seen by the
vote that the Davidson party cumulated
their votes on five men, and the Northern
line party On four men,-the Davidson
party owning $4,000 more stock than the
Northern Line party-or majority of the
stock-were thus enabled to elect ma
jority Of the directors.
Messrs Conrad, Gray and Buford were
elected in place of Kyles. Phillips and
Campbell.
On the 22i the directors met in st.
Louis to choose officers. The four Northern
Line men asked that either the president,

Line party; or, in other words, that these
three offices be divided, one to each interes
of the original companies-the Northern

To this Davidson refused his consent, an,
the directors proceeded to vote for officer
and executive committee, with the follow
ing result:
President-W. T. Davidson,
Secretary and Treasurer-J. S. Shethel
General Supt-P A. Davidson,
| Executive Committee-W. L. Davidson

A petition is being circulated for sigma

appoint one teacher in cur public school.
who can teach the Swede language, pure
and simple. 1t has occurred to US. that our
children have scarcely time enough, before
they are obliged to leave the school, to
learn the English language as it should be
done. Perhaps now they are smart enough
to learn English, German. and Swede at
once. Moline editor Of the Gazette
In the public schools. supported by tax
alton upon the common property of the
whole people, nothing but the common
branches of an English education should be
taught. Not one in hundred want any
thing beyond that and it is gross injustice
to tax the ninety-nine for the benefit Of
that one. In our Rock Island schools
children are taught Latin and German and
French, who can't cypher In the rule Of
three. No language, except the English
languages should be taught in public schools
Of America; nor any of what are called
classical or the higher branches of an
English education. Let those who want tt
learn these branches.or the languages, pay
for it in private schools. 1t is an outrage
upon the overburdened taxpayer to fore,
money from the pockets of ninety-nin,
men for the benefit of one man. Ever
principle of justice forbids it. The publ,
schools were established for no sucl

John B. Hawley is not an aspirant for
the gubernatorial nomination. Many
people in this part of the state are dis
posed to present his name in that connec-
ton, but we are authoritativeiy advised
that be is not, and does not desire to be a
candidate for the nomination. Were this
otherwise. there is no man whose name
would arouse a heartier support than that
ofJohn B. Hawley. Cambridge Chronicle
That's very carefully worded. Now,
inasmuch as the editor of the Chronicle
was Mr.. Hawley's private clerk, while in
Washington, he may be suppoeed to know
something of Mr.. Hawley's plans for the
future, and therefore we venture to assert
that the Chronicle will not say that Mr..
Hawley would decline the nomination
should it be offered to him.
