The board of school visitors at
their recent meeting declined to
elect a principal of the high school in
place of Mr.. Collins, who resigned.
For this the board is to be commend
ed. 1t looks like a disposition to re.
trench and lop off excressencies, with
d view of reducing expenses. Several
thousand dollars might readily be
saved by suspending the high school
altogether. A considerable sum
could also be saved in interest by not
borrowing money, aud careful financial
management would largely reduce the
Indebtedness of the board by the end
of the next scholastic term. With a
debt of $4,000 hanging over their
heads, and no moneyiin the treasury,
the high school luxury could well be
dropped to let the financial end catch
up. There is nothing like the pay
as you go" system.

appropriation for certain object Strang-

Hired him for what2 As TO their reas-
ons for paying him 5000 there cannot be
the slightest doubt. n their letters to
each other they boosted of having bought
the man who held the purse strings of the
nation. AS far as they were concerned,
the SIS 900 were a bride.
MIR. Garfield chooses to take different
view Of it He says that he honestly
earned the $4,000 by rendering legal SER
vices to the contractors: that he prepared
q brief: that the $1,000 were fee.
| The appropriation which the contrac
tors desired, and to procure which they
paid Mr.. Garfield IS 900 passed the com
mittee of which he was Chairman. The
intentions Of the contractors were thus ac-
complished They reetived irum Mr..
Garfield what they considered an equivs-
lent for SIS COO
But the legal services which. according
to Mr.. Gar6eld's view of the transaction.
we're to earn the SIS GOO, were never rem
dered by him. There ia conclusive evi

Gov. Cullom never makes a political
spesch without referring to the danger of
trusting the solid south, and picturing the
horrors to follow the placing in Office OF
eK-rsbsls. In future Mr.. Cullon will be
obliged to omit those passages referring
20 the rebels, and be called on to explain
why he recommended an ex -rebel to Office
to replace Capt, Hamlin, union soldier.
Cullom. like all the rest Of the Republican
bloody shirt Tavers, is hypCcritical He
nor any Of them beIiepc danger is to be
feared from the source they claim. but
ike true demagogues they wave the shirt
and howl about treason, etc. to alarm
the people and keep alive the feeling of
sectional hate. 1t may as well be noted.
too. that Cullom is one of the stay at
home patriots who were too cowardiy to
face the enemy In the field when real
danger presented. and after the war,
joined the army of efiee seekers under the

The electoral grab" scheme is being
bgitated in New York Tne Republicans
have been canvassiDg the state and find
itimpossible TO carry II for Garfield on
popular vote, SO they propose 20 steal it.
1t is AL old trick tor Republicans to steal
states-io fact the party record would not
be complete In any campaign without
skalduggery of some sort Ii is as natural
for aRepubl ican trickster 10 steal votes az
tits to eat. But wait; there are obstacles
infhe way which our Republican couspir-
ators have not stopped to consider.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1880-07-23

The Republican papers charge that. in
the event of Democi attic supremacy the
rebei war claims will be paid. This, Of
course. is mere buncombe. It is not
mere buncombe however, to assert
that of the so-called rebel war claims
already paid. over too thirds of the
entire amount soos paid to Rcpublicansi
Il is Republican spectators who hold the
claims. and Republican congress paid
over s 900, 900 10 a single session to these
self same 'loyai' howiers against solid
south. It matters not wi at assertion is
made by the stalwarts. when ii is dag
nossd, tits found to be a false one. The
Republican orators seek to alarm the peo-
pie and prejudice them against the Demo-
cratic party by setting up the war
claim" bugbear. LII they told the truth
about this matter, il would cost the Re
publicans, thousands of votes. It is not
Democrats who are. to be feared, but Re-
publicans. 1T was a Republican Con-
gress paid out $l.000,00o of these
bogus claims, to Republican speeula-
tors, and If opportunity presented
would do it again. The Republican party
is rotten to the core. STEPPED in corruption,
incapable of discussing single live issue.
imbued with hate. with an iron grip on the
purse strings of the nation. it has plum
dered the treasury of millions of dollars,
ruined our shipping industries, crippled
labor, and built up corporate protector

means Of damnable conspiracy. and to-
day would not hssitate TO do anything
