Sending a Boy to Mill.

Assessor Haneys friends are getting
uneasy, knowing that there will be a strong
opposition to him from useful members in
the eastern part Of the Sixth Commune
Commune, aud have concluded to start
the uDfledged baDtlrg out to talk anti
slavery, red-ribbon, theology and COM
munism to the doubtful socialists at Galva
anG vicinity. They do it with fear and
trembling, however. and trust to luck for
the issue. One of the leaders in Moline,
and strong supporter of the Assessor,
confided to the ARGUS reporter on Tuesday
that the party thought it was about time
to set him to work if he was to stand any
show in the approaching congressional
contest; that the brothers in Galva wanted
to see and hear him before the convention,
80 as to form some opinion of his attach,
ment to the cause. 1t was in response to
urgent requests that he was going to
GaIva next week; that he might kill him
self and he might possibly do himself and
the cause some good, but the trial must
be made aud the risk incurred.
Now, this is rather rough on Hauey to
have his integrity of purpose questioned.
1t is humiliatlng enough to be beaten at
the polls in square fight, but to apply the
crucial" test before the fight begins is
cowardly. But then Bro. Hauey must
remember that other communists i'm
