Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1881-03-31

Mr. Speaker: The National Green
back party is opposed to the refunding
of the bonds about to mature. because
there is no necessity for it. They can
be paid, as we have repeatedly shown,
more easily and almost as speedily as
they can be refunded. We voted
against this bill when it passed, and
can never upon any pretext vote for the
issue of non-taxable interest bearing
bond. But the question now is upon
amendments to this bill made in the
senate, and others proposed here.
We vote for and against these var
ious amendments upon their merits.
The great issue presented by any fund
ing bill, the only excuse for any such
bill, is that the national banks may be
perpetrated and allowed to control the
money Of the nation. The fifth section

such tendency, TO DO so arbi rary in tho

at times has deemed II right and expedient to

alone the treatment of Copernicup, Bruno
and Calico, who maintained respectively
the rotundty of tho earth, tho heliocen,ris
theory, and tho plurality of worlds. On the

man Forepaugh is called, viii make holt
day for everybody on the day his great
show is to exhibit at Rock Island, August
15 1t win make no difference how many
rivals appear between now and the day set
for the coming of his great show, hismam-
moth pavillions will be crowded when he
arrives. The people, especially of the
West, know Adam, and have known
him for many years, and never man, wo-
man or child that bought ticket to his
show, but received the full value of its
cost in witnessing every single feature he
advertised. This wise and just policy,
steadily pursued for almost twenty years,
has made for Mr.. Forepaughs Show a
name and popularized it all over the land,
and the result is, that while many other
circus managers have lost heavily, and fl
nally been forced to retire from the field,
Forcpaugh, by pursuing always a fair and
honorable course with the public, in pre-
senting always a great show, and never
lying about it. has achieved a reputation
for his colossal exhibition surprising that
of any circus manager in the United States.
The appearance of his great show here

furnishing. subsisting and qaartering from
$50 to 400 able-bodied men at both Plum
Point and lake Providence, but, strange to
say not bid was put in up to the time the
proposals were to have been opened, July
20. The trouble is contractors are not will
ling to bind themselves to furnish men dur
ing the busy season of the year, when cot
ton-pickers and steamboat hands are in
such demand, as during the fall months.
1t is likely bids will be again called for,
however.

CABLE WATER WORKS.

The workmen engaged in excavating for
the cistern or reservoir of the Cable water
works yesterday encountered some obsta-
cles not expected. The cistern has been
blasted in the solid rock which is situated
in that locality, and has, so far, reached a
level below high water mark. Yesterday
a blast was inserted, and in place of throw
ing the rock up. as is generally the case,
the powder appeared to explode from the
bottom. An investigation was made and
it was found that in place of rock, a layer
of sand an 4 running water constituted the
peculiarities of the under formation
The pumps were set to work,
and the water supply was temporarily
checked. BY this means the blasting was
continued, and below the sand another
stratum of solid rock was found. 1t is
thought the water will not materially in
terfere with the work although pumps are
kept in constant use.
The reservoir win be carried down
about two feet below low water mark.
When completed the water viii flow from
the river into the reservoir, and from there
forced over the city. There is every rea-
son to suppose that the work will be com
pleted by fall, as the foundation walls fol
the smokestack and engine building are
now all finished The foundation for the
boiler room will be placed in position as
soon as the reservoir shall be completed.

THE EACAMPMENT.
The following communication anent
the second Brigade encampment will ex
plain itself.
Editor Argus:
see it announced that the encampment
of the Second Brigade, l. N. G., is to be
held at Quincy, Ills, in September. This
| is partly true, but it is not absolutely set
tied yet whether it will be held there.
Quincy has offered. believe, to furnish
free transportation to all the troops as an
| inducement but beyond this has made no
pecuniary guarantee, and the offer yet re-
mains open to other cities. Our Rodman
Rifles belong in the Second Brigade, and
ranks among the best companies in the
state, and many of our business men think
Rock Island ought to make an effort
to secure the encampment. Why not?
There is not another point in the state
within the territory of the Second Brigade,
better adapted in all respects than this city.
Our hotel accommodations are unsurpass
ed-far better than Quincy, Springfield, or
Bloomington, or even Peoria. While our
transportation facilities are excellant, both
rail and river, our city being easily accessi-
BILE to all points north, east south and west.
For camp grounds, Rock Island can offer
splendid inducements, better perhaps than
either of the competing points, and is by
/ all odds the most desirable point for the
| encampment that could be selected.
The benefit to the town would be con-
siderable, bringing thousands of strangers
| to the city, and greatly enhancing the trade
of our merchants during the time, besides
adding to our reputation abroad as an en-
| terprising city.
| This point besides being headquarters
/ for the Rifles, is also the central headquar
tiers of the 14th Battalion, the companies
composing the command being located
within radius of 65 miles, three of the
companies being within 90 miles.
The Rifles would be ready and willing tt
co operate III any way TO secure the encamp
ment, and it certainly looks as though
Rock Island ought to make an effort il
that direction.
| 1t will help the city business men fnan
cially, help its reputation. give our citizens
fine military display, and be benefit tt
the business interests of the community
The proper effort may secure the encamp
ment; viii Rock Island try?
