THE ARSENAL USED FOR POLITI-
CAL PURPOSES.
Men Bought with Situations, and La
borers Threatened with Dismissal.
for mot Carrying Torches.

When Mr.. Wash. Sweeney turned
against the honest old Democratic party in
which he was reared, and joined the cor
rupt Republican ring concern, now just
falling in pieces of its own wickedness,
everybody supposed there was some reason
for it besides desire to benefit his coun-
try,-and it is now found in the appoint
ment of his two sons to positions at Rock
Island Arsenal. And we are how in
formed that his oldest son, who is time
keeper at the Arsenal, is using his position
to coerce men to vote the Republican
ticket. Just after their last coal oil pro
cession, this young Sweeney, as we are in
formed, said to some laborers at the
Arsenal, Il didn't notice you in our pro-
cession last night" They replied that
they were not there they didn't think a
torch any argument, and didn't feel like
trudging around town with lamp after a
days work. The time keeper replied,
I'VE expect all our men to turn out and
do what they can to elect Hayes We do
not know that this is the exact converse
ton, but it is as reported to us. If true,
it shows just what has been charged of all
other government posts, viz: that they are
run, not in the interest of the country, but
in the interest of the Republican party
We intend to know whether this Is true OF
not, and if it is it only adds another item
to charges which, at the next meeting Of
congress, will be made in relation to Rock
Island Arsenal. II the Arsenal is to BE-
run in the interest of certain parties Oh
against the general and impartial interes
of all the towns around it, and of the whole
country; and also run in the interest of ;
political party, we engage that a
the next session of congress i
will be pretty hot for those who thus
run the Arsenal Is it any wonder tina
little or no appropriation could be obtained
when the suspicious we allude to are Sc
generally believed?

Names of Streets and Numbers.

We hope the new ordinance wholly
wiping out all the old names of streets, and
the New York system of nam
ing by streets and numbers from west to
east, and by acenues and numbers from
north to south, and the Philadelphia sys-
tenn of 80 numbers to block, will be
adopted. The tumble of names we now
have, of states, rivers, men and animals is
wholly unintelligible and is confusing TO
strangers. Let us have the simple and in
telligibe system now proposed, and be
done with all the old names at once.

n CURIOUS CHAPTER IN HISTORY.

Verify the line of the Puritans Tor the Pilgrims,
it don't really matter much which, has gone out
into all the earth, and their blood into all sorts of
places. A recent British traveller in this country
has just unearthed the fact that the young Earl of
Rosebery, who made himself so well and so favor
ably known in this country two or three years
ago. and Of whom the English Liberals are now
hoping so much and with such good reason, is a
kind Of Scotch cousin to William M. Evarts.
MIR. William NJ Evarts, everybody
knows, is grandson of Roger Sherman. and
Roger Sherman was descendant Of the Rev.
John Sherman, of WATERFOWL. a divine of consid-
cradle standing at the end Of the seventeenth CEN
fury. The Rev. John Sherman like most of his
New England clerical brethren of the olden time,
had "quver full of arrows" and among them a
son. Bezaleel by name, who, after taking his col
lege degrees, found New England dreary, and
went off in search of fortune as far IS Madras, of
all places in the world, certainly within half a
century after the building there by the sdyentur-
Gus Francis Day, in 1859, Of Fort st. George, the
seed and germ of the modern Indo British city.
Bezaleel pretty clearly ptospered in the East aud
his example was followed by other restless young
Yankees of his time. The Rev. John Higgjnson,
writing TO his son Nathaniel. at Madras, in 1897
asks him what had become of Bezaleel Sherman
wife and children 1t is from this that Bezsleel
