They have the laugh on Mr..
COombs, Mr.. Tulleys and others of the
court house. A bee" wa talked of
for the purpose Of cutting the weeds
in the court house square, but the
sheriff hired a young man, brother to
Judge Wilcox, to do the work, and
when the Judge wen. out to NOW
weeds 10 assist his brother and for tn
sake Of a little exercise, the others,
not knowing that anyone was getting
pay for doing the work, borrowed
scythes, pitched in and helped to NOW
the weeds. This disinterested assis-
lance did not offend young Wilcox,
he let 'em NOV while he reclined lux
uriously in the shade, laughed until
his sides ached to see them sweat, and
drew his pay for the job.

A FRIEND. &c:-Wc think the com.

LArRa;-No: the anii-treat Law does
not include ice cream and lemonade.

handsomely. give him the mitten and

q. L. No; We will not offer the

We lost several Of our best typos by
that means; they ate until they finally
busted"
ANXIOUS oSE:-No; Charley Potter
did not start for the mountains last
Monday. he was u~navoidably detained.
Please bear in mind that personal
questions like the above are not de.
sired, and are seldom answered.
SADIE-Yes; we're old. most a hun
dred years Old, and such letters as
yours make u feel about 80 years
older, and wish that We was laid away
TO rest beneath the posies where such
senselcss epistles could never reach us
more.
NELLIEcWe know Of no way that
the wart can he successfully removed

ton Of a knife. We fear the charms"
you speak of will not seriously
Inconvenience the wart, but you
might try if you car derive any COM
fort from it.
Miss I've do not know why
Supt. Pope does not visit your school.
Your i%nsinuation that laziness has
something to do with it is wholly with
out foundation; moreover, il is very
unkind of you TO make such insinua-
tons. There isn't a lazy bone in our
county Supt's., body.
j. X:-You are right in your ur-
misses; the reason the commissioners
will not go on with the investigation
is because two of the board arc more
or less implicated themselves, their
crookedness, however, we believe is
confined to the allowing of illegal
bills, the result, largely, of careless
ness.
FARMER:-YOu can undoubtedly do
better by trading in Red Cloud than in
either of the towns in Kansas that YOU
name. You read the CHIEF, when
you come to Red Cloud trade with the
merchants whose advertisements YOU
find in its columns and We will guar
antee you will get your moneys
worth.
SUSIE C:-You are entirely wrong
in your estimate of the number OF
spring poets slaughtered by us the
present season. The crop has been
small owing to the unusually severe
winter and backwardncss of the
spring, we have not had many calls.
We have only killed eleven, a few es-
capped.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-09-27

A memorial has been suggested for our
late President, memorial that would be
of local character and be always among
us. The suggestion has taken many forms
and resulted in varied ideas; but the best
and most approved one seems to be that
something in the shape of bust or stat
ure of General Garfield be erected in some
public place in our city. Two locations
have been suggested Court House square
and Union square. The objection to the
first is that it is not central and the soldiers
monument is already there. But the other
place is most fitting. In connection with
this we would like to advance an idea.
There has been talk for some time of i'm
proving Union Square. The state it is now
in is disgrace to the city: with small
expenditure it could be easily made attract
i've, so that it would be credit. Let this
be done, let walks be laid out, grass plant
ed, a fence put around It and such othel
measures taken as would make it the parf
which the city needs. In the centel
let some suitable memorial to the late
President be erected, either q monument
a stature, drinking fountain suitable in
scribed or whatever may be determined up
on.
Then let the Square be rechristened an'
as Garfield Square" let the name be
standing monument to our dead Execu
tive.
Such a memorial would be lasting ant
as long as the memory of James A. Gar
field lasts, SO long will that remembrance
COMPEL us to keep Garfield Square" in
condition which would not only be cred
it to the city, but lasting tribute to tn
Chief Magistrate whose loss we mourn.

Yesterday in formal manner Rock
Island gave fitting expression to its grief.
The observance was managed with decor
UNI and in proper way and it was an at
fair which reflected credit on all concerned.
1t was meeting of our citizens, spon-
taneous gathering OF all of our people to|
show by their acts the grief they felt IN
their hearts at the death of our President;
The closing of the stores, the subdued|
tone of all upon the streets, the mourning
hanging upon the buildings, the cessation
of all work without the appearance OF al
holiday, all told that an unusual event was
at hand. At one o'clock, when the people,
began to assemble around Union Square,
there was an air of solemn quiet.
The crowd was large, larger
than any often assembled IN our city, but
an orderly one. It had assembled Tor a
purpose; it was to attend funeral, the
funeral of q nation. Our President was
dead and the people had come to pay
their last tribute. Not only in our city
was this being done, it was common OBJ
servanee, common funeral. Throughout
the length and breadth of this broad land
of ours the same services were being car
ried on, and the grief was universal. l1
was not done in spirit of display, 1t was
not for public spectacle, but the Union
had lost its chief magistrate and the
Union felt that its acts must show It's
thoughts II it had happened through a
common accident Of life; if disease had
claimed him as its object it would been
different; the blow would have
not been the same. Bul
it was the act of an assassin, blow aimed
more at the nation than its President,
bullet meant for the executive not for
James A. Garfield. Hence was the lndig-
nation the more bitter, the sorrow the
more universal. Everyone said: "lt Is my
President who has been shot, it is the OF
ficer who was assassinated." And so IN
common with other cities Rock Island OBJ
served the day. 1t put on its mourning
garb and expressed its grief in httlne
words, by its deeds it showed its sorrow
Such action was most proper Away in
Cleveland all that remained of the
man, whom we had chosen to govern our
nation, to administer our laws, was
being laid away; and here al
home as far as we were able we per
formed the same ceremonies. The body
was not with Us but the spirit was, and It's
influence was far spread around. And SO
Rock Island observed the day, not as @
separate city, but as one out of many as
one out of all.

If KirkWoed is removed from the Cabi
net there promises to be political revolu
tion in Iowa which will set some active re
|publicans in that state guessing. Severa
gentleman are now contesting for the Sen
now vacant from Kirkwood's res
gnation, and the contest has been of late
exceedingly lively. Gear and Wilson hav
been making hard fight, while Kassol
has been poseing as dark horse, and al
along betting has been even.
But suppose Kirkwood should be boune
I'D from the Cabinet and come home to tn
half breed state, would he not have tn
sympathy of the people and be chosen a
his own successor That is the questio
|that is just now keeping Messrs. Gear, Wi
son and other would be Senators awak
lat night just now, and mingling in thei
dreams as horrible nightmare, maxim
them think life hollow mockery, and amb
ation delusion and snare.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-09-27

eral reasons The country looks upon the
present body as the representatives q
President Garfielda he isdead, but they are
|left. They are part OF his
government and now represent his pol
hey. AS long as they remain
i'm office, although dead he yet seems to q
certain extent to be at the head of affairs.
/ Their removal would be the first actual
Elimination we have had that he has passed
away Again, some members are active
agents in certain reforms the people desire
Ito see pushed. James has been urging re-
form in the Pest-office Department, and
we have no assurance that his successor
would continue the good work. Mac
IVeagh has been useful member of the
cabinet, and many people would be sorry
Ito see him go. What the change viii be
lis impossible now to foretell, but that
some change viii be made seems to be GER
ztain. ~
