A bill will probably pass the House
allowing criminals to testify in their
own defense in trials before United
States Courts. This bill is supposed to
be for the especial benefit of Joyce and
Mcdonald, the crooked whisky con
~spirators in St. Louis. This is the prac
tice in many States. Jurors properly
weigh all evidence, whether it be that
of criminals or others.

Getting Into Society.

1t is not 50 long ago but the memory OF
those 50 notes once paid by liberal
society people" of Moline, which some Of
thens-borrowed at the time, still comes
back with peculiar sensations. They had
been invited to high toned party-the
object of the aforesaid party being the in
PRODUCTION of the host to Proud Moline's'
best circles. just how that family never
visits very much in Moline, is possibly due
to that little 81 assessment to pay music
or supper, or something of that sort; al
least showing the bump of business large
if nothing more. Memory is a curiou;
thing at best, and just because the ladies
are getting up little surprise parties, there
is no sense in those gents being so timid
about attending, What if there was 6
little assessment two or three years age
on those Moliners? 1t is the only time they
were ever known to pay cent Gentle
mcn, discard from your noble minds the
fear that the ladies. in this their privileged
year, will inveigle you into any assessment
of the So kind, and, even if they do, stanc
up like noble Romans that you are. The
first man caught skulking shall be pub
lished as renegade, and his posterity
shall not celebrate the next centennial, s,

Before E. C. Chopper, Police Magistrate

Saturday afternoon Policeman Feeley ar
rested Charles w. Graham, oldest son of
Thos 3. Graham, former livery stable
keeper here, on complaint of Kirk Lathrop,
young man from Annawan, who charged
him with disorderly conduct The evid-
ence showed that Graham, who is hack
driver, and of low, swiudling disposition,
had carried Lathrop from Davenport to
this city; Lathrop offered the regular fare,
% cents; Graham wanted so cents; the
passenger grumbled, whereupon Graham
called him hard names and attempted to
strike him. After standing considerable
abuse from Graham Lathrop paid the 80
cents and then had the young rough and
swindler arrested. The magistrate fined
him S. and costs, but he was released
without paying anything, or even promising
to pay.
Patrick Quinlan made complaint against
Alice, bis wife, and John, his son, on Sat
urday afternoon, charging them with dis
turning the peace. Marshal Halves serv-
ed the papers. The magistrate, after
hearing the evidence, discharged the
defendants, it being proved that Patrick
was the one who disturbed the peace.
VIM. Philvolk, a drunken old nuisance,
working for VIM. Hutchinson, seven miles
south Of Milan, was arrested and taken to jail
Saturday night by Policeman Rinehart fcr
being drunk. This morning he was fined
SIS and costs. Paid and discharged.

Why Has the Money Not Been Paid

Why Has the Money Not Been PAID
1t will be remembered that THE ARGUS
published an account of the foolish release,
by two of our justices, of Walter Brown,
alias Benson. the Moline Post Office thief,
at which time man calling himself Hugh
P. Muldon, employed in Hills iron works
IN Moline) became security, in the sum of
5000, for Browns appearance at the next
term of circuit court. This was last SUM.
mer Of course the thief never made his
appearance. At the present term of
court judgment was entered against Brown
and Muldon for forfeiture of the bail
5000. Why has the money not been paid ?
Mr.. Muldon swore that he owned two or
three houses in Chicago, besides having
some ready money. Then why don't he
step forward and settle up his account
Last fall he wanted to thrash the circuit
clerk because that gentleman had made a
remark to the effect that he considered
Muldon dead-beat. IF the money is not
paid promptly let the proper officers have
Mu,don arrested and held for perjury.

rolls all doubt from the future: with Mr..
Grant, Mr. Blaine, Mr. Morton. Mr.. Hayes,
or Mr.. Conkling, Republican success is sim;
ply impossible; with Mr. Washburne it is
very doubtful; with Mr.. Bristow it is
possible; with Mr. Adams it is probable.
with Mr. Adams and Mr. Bristow il is GER
tain. That is the whole situation in nut
shell, 1t the party prefers an improbable
ity, or bare possibility, to a certainty,
nobody questions its right. This is free

that name of Adams. He has been men
