Prof G. G. ST. Clair, of Chicago, teacher
and author of music, has been induced to
locate in our city, and has taken up his
residence on the corner of 22d street and
9th avenue. The professor brings with
him the highest testimonials, both of the
press aud public, and we understand that
he will soon open class for musical in
struetion.
Is that so, Joseph Did you put up
your watch and chain against $500, with

The Methodist politician from Moline,
who spoke at the workingmen's meeting in
Turner Hall, spoke of Jesus Christ as the
carpenters son, and hence if on earth
would be a member of their party. He
also referred to the great Illinois infidel al
his dear friend, Bob Ingersoll." How
do the Methodists like this cant. The
abor party can probably stand this if the
church can. When 1.-THE cloth" is dipped
in politics it has the color of demagogism.

A sanaation in rraanort.

Something in the shape of a sensation
comes to us from Freeport 1t is to the
effect that the last work of the Grand Jury
was the indictment of three prominent and
we'll known citizens, L. L. Mum, L, K.
Schofeld and Prot A. A. Griffith, on
charge of burning the Freeport Watch
Factory. The factory was built partially
by funds subscribed by citizens of Free
port. it was heavily insured by the parties
named, and, it is alleged, was burned by
agents of the managers to get the insu-
rance. Mum and Schofeld are proprie-
tors of the gas works in Freeport, and
Griffith is the elocutionist whom our people
we'll know, recently elected president OF
the Illinois College, of Fulton, as chron-
icled by THE ARGUS. The whole thing
may yet result in an attempt of the insu-
rance companies to get out of paying the
insurance.

Moline and the Republican Candidates.

Moline and the Republican Candidates..
The Moline RcUieao is Moline institu-
ton, and accordingly labors for the best
interests of Moline. 1t staunch repub-
lican paper, and always has been-but 10
its issue Of last Friday it handles the re-
publican candidates, and especially the
Rock Island ring, without gloves. 1t says:
The Moline delegates went to the con-
vention to secure the nomination Of Mr.
Whipple. not caring for the other candi
dates. This was all they expected, nothing
more, nothing less
Did they secure the prize? Not by any
manner Of means. Rock Island was ln-
tent on defeating Moline's candidate, and
of course succeeded in their desires, and
gobbled up everything but coroner.
! We assure our near neighbor that this
| hOggish disposition on her part is properly
appreciated by Moline. Here we have a
city of 5000 souls, second only in numbers
to our more pretentious neighbor Here
we have invested the bulk of the capital OF
Rock Island county, aud here, in times
gone by, we have furnished the msjorities
that have elected the candidates. 1t is
probably well enough for Rock Island tC

The Moline editor of the Union may

republicans of Moline, but when that sym

TIE NEW LABOR PARTY.

The working men of this city held a
meeting in Turner Hall, oE Saturday even
ing, to ratify the selection of delegates to
their convention. which had been selected
by their committees appointed at a pre- |
vious meeting. After this a resolution of
instruction was voted down, and an ad-
dress was delivered by an "out and Out"
republican Methodist minister from Mo-
line. The burden of his speech was the
old and obsolete doctrine of anti slavery
rcpublicanism which be imagines is now an
issue, with now and then little sop to
the laboring men-the whole, rank dem
agogical speech--a bid for some nomina-
ton at the hands of the workingmen, pos
sibly that of county judge, although the
gentleman professed not to.want an Office.
A few such speeches-such loads-wili
kill the movement. The Rev. Methodist
politician, although he denied being poll
tician, was followed by Mr.. Oliver Gunnell,
practical working man and by Mr.. Lewis
Beers. Both of these gentlemen are fair
speakers. and discussed the importance of
the movement, the scope of its objects and
the numbers it could bring to its support.
They both condemned the idea of endors-
ing any partizan candidate, and urged that
10 the coming election they make their in
huence so felt that, when it came to the
election of men to the state legislature and
to congress, they could be in position to
secure the election of men who would be
beneficial to them and who would legisate
in the interest of labor, and secure the
adoption of such measures as will bene-
fit the industrial classes. These men
showed keen perception of the fact that
the endorsement of a straight party can
didate would be qualification and political
suicide Mr.. Beers went so far as to ac-
cuse both parties Of setting their nets fol-
the labor party, and said-"what induced
the late republican party to nominate Mr.
Crompton? | know him well as laborine
man, but he has allowed himself to be useG
as 'stool-pigeon' by the republican rinl
politicians to catch our votes, and [ 1oiI no

The whiteside County Liquor Case.

The Whiteside county liquor case, which
has twice been tried in our circuit court,
will probably never come mp for trial
again. The jury in this case, on Saturday
evening, reported to the court it was i'm
possible to agree, and was discharged. 1t
is said the jury stood four for a verdict
for the plaintiff and eight for the defendants.
If this is true it reflects much credit on the
manner in which Messrs. Kenworthy &
Beardsley, attorneys for tho defense, con-
Quoted the case On the first trial they
only assisted McCory Il Son, of Whiteside
county, but 10 this trial they had the en-
tire control of the management of the
case for their side, aud took an entirely
new defense The jury on the first trial
stood II TO | for a verdict 10 favor of the
plaintiff, but this was when the temperance
crusade movement was still before the
people-and the decision of the case now
should convince people that the unjust
law, under which this suit was commenced,
cannot now be enforced, after the people
have had an opportunity to take sober
second thought of its injustice.
