Shall we Have a celessratioa9

1t has been suggested that inasmuch as
Rock Island has had no celebration since
the Centennial, that it would be fitting to
have grand old jollifcation the coming
Fourth. IF the proper effort is made, the
success of the enterprise would be assured,
and instead of everybody going elsewhere
TO spend their money. Rock Island could
retain all of it, and thousands of dollars
besides from the strangers who would
visit us, Among the attractions fpe
military display could be included and not
only our own Rodman Rifles be on hand.
but companies from Moline. Chicago and
other points be brought here to join In the
military pageant. If we arc to have q
celebration. it is time some action were
taken. THE ARGUS would be pleased to
hear from the people on the subject.

Poor NubbIn.

Again is the glorious vision of Nubbin
dimmed-NubbiI of the Union again fond
dreams of daily chronicles of cows i'm
pounded. dispelled with rude hand. The
cow ordinance-the nasty, naughty ordi-
nance which gave poor Nubbin gu b
worriment of mind-the identical ordi-
nance which permits the naughty cows to
pursue their gyrations undisturbed be-
tween the hours of a. q, when the sun
shining gloriously in the heavens, until
Z p. H. when his rays cease to shed reful-
gent light on all nature, is still in force.
Alas for the happiness of Nubbin-yet a
little while longer must the COW be per-
mitted TO roam ssundisturbed. Even a
partisan administration is compelled. tenn
porarily, at least, to respect the present
ordinance.

pare and produce these brilliant dramatic

nate nights in each of the three cities. and
at the close of three or four weeks course
of training, give one or two grand per-
formauces with the whole company of,
perhaps hundred and fifty voices.

The Extreme Of Part1sanship.

1t was not expected after the exhibition
of partisapship in the first batch Of
appointments that the Carse adminlstra
ton would change SO much from the rock
rooted partisanship then developed, but
very few believed that as capable an officer
as John Brennan would be dismissed from
the police force because he was Demo-
crat. Brennan has been on the force a
good many years, has always been effici-
ent, is fearless, discreet AMI one of the best
men on the force. to track g thief, He
has never shirked-in fact was universally
recognized as one of the best officers we
eyer had. but Brennan is Democrat, and
under the new schedule of rules laid down
by the rock rooted partisan administration
he must go. Even the police force must
be Guaged On partisan basis to suit the
present city government,
