whom we force into unjust wars, and
who are entitled to tile sympathy of all
good men. 1t is not the fault of the
Department Of the Interior. 1t is in
herent in policy which robs men of
their homes and takes from them their
only means of support; which gives
them no personal rights Of property,
ne protection of law; which surrounds
them with every evil influence, which
maddens them with broken promises,
and then wonders that it brings sorrow
an death.
The evil lies at the door Of Congress,
which often fetters the department by
its refusal to hear its pleas, and which
never has entered upon the work OF re-
form.
The evil belongs TO no one party. It
is the peoples party, and when they
demand reform it will be accomplished.

Democrats victorious in Davenport.

Democrats Victorious IN davenport
The democrats of Davenport, at the
home of Hiram Price, come to the front
with democratic victory. Previous to
the election, on Saturday. the Gazette sent
up the yell of revolution" "confeder-
stes'' and treason" 1t shouted to the
boys to up and at them to charge the
confederates." to trout them horse, foot.
and dragoonsl' 1t accused the democracy
with trying to starve the government to
to death!' to secure free elections and i'm
partial iuries. The boys went at them
they went for wool and came back shorn.
The democracy met them, took them in
and put them carefully in their little beds.
Their rebel yell did not scare worth cent.
AS it was in Chicago, where the same tao
tics were followed so it was at the home of
Hiram Price, the democracy were victo-
rious. Had the republicans been success
full how Hiram, from his seat in Congress,
would have pointed to the result as an en-.
dorsement of his vote to continue the use
of arbitrary power in the hands of fraud
ulent executive-he now sits silent and sad
Poor Hiram! He too will be forced tc

Saloon Licenses.

Since Capt. Haverstick has undertaken
to teach the republicans of Moline repub-
licanism through the columns of the Reuieso,
we are reminded that there is such paper
published in that city. Heretofore there
has been no inducement to any one to take
the trouble of opening the paper. While
we do not recognize the right of the Cap
tain to run this city. he possibly has the
right to talk back" to the reformers, of
whom he processes to be one. This is the
way he talks to his colaborers of reform
about saloon licenses:
If the people of Rock Island would put
UP their saloon licenses to $500, the same
as in Moline, they would get rid of dozen
or two low doggeries, run by irresponsible
men who are the source of most of the
trouble which afaicts the police. They had
splendid opportunity to make this prac.
teal move for reform, during the time
which has elapsed since the murder oil
Policeman Rosenfield. But the ROCK
Island reformers are peculiar. They arr
always ready to put responsibility off then
own shoulders and load it on others. Jus
now they are looking to the legislature t.
assume responsibility which naturally ant
legally rests on them. These valiant mel
and women want license raised, but the!
are afraid to ask for it. They prefer tn,
plan of compelling somebody else to asl
for it. In the meantime the saloon keep
ers are taking out their licenses as before
and the "reformers" stand on the stree
| cnrnars and in their Etnras and provl he
cause somebody don't do something"
| Men and women. while you are bother
ing with petitions to the legislature, yo'
have thrown away the golden opportunity
which may not recur for years.

for the place, SO far as heard from, are

The Double Suicide.

The Coronor's Jury in the double sui
eide in Davenport elected no new facts
other than those reported in Saturday s
ARGUS. The funeral took place yester-
day. We copy from the Gazette the fol-
lowing account:
The funeral of Mr., Watt and Miss Fill
ter occurred yesterday afternoon, the ser
vices being held at the residence of the
family. The house was crowded, and
there were hundreds OF people IN front
of the building. Davenport Lodge No. 7,
Odd Fellows were present in body, head
ed by the Great Western band. The
presence'of the band is explained by the
fact that about ten days since, Harry and
a member of the band made an agreement
that when the death of either occurred
the Survivor should furnish band at the
funeral-and here the survivor was with
the band. ReY. DR.. Mott conducted the
services in the house, his remarks affecting
all present. The widows father, two sis
tiers and brother from Delmar, and an aunt
from Oxford, were present with the fam
lily. The procession was formed on Third
street, the Odd Fellows and band in front.
A large number Of cigar makers were also
present The two collins were borne by
the pail bearers to Brady street, where
they were placed in a horse car, which
moved slowly northward. The cortege was
of great length. At Ninth street the Odd
Fellows went into street cars in waiting
and then the procession moved to Oakdale
where the interment took place with the
burial honors of Dad Fellowship. The
collins were placed side by side in one
grave. The widow went into falntine
condition in the cemetery. The great
throng was yisibly affected during the
ceremony
