That of denouncing democrats for being
opposed to education is favorite theme
with the republican papers. 1t is exactly
on par with the assertion that the demo
Gratis drink all the whiskey, and that demo
Gratis commit all the crime. The fol-
lowing paragraph from the Chicago Jour
nal, however, is a fair sample of how
democrats are starving the schools in the
democratic city of New York;
An idea of what New York city is doing
for public education can be derived from
the amount of money annually expended
for that purpose. The estimate for the
support of the public schools for the year
1882 amounts to 81. 600, 600. OF this $2,-
461 900 are for salaries of teachers in
grammar and primary schools $105, zoo
for janitors in grammar and primary
schools, 500, 900 for teachers and janitors
in the Normal college, $75, 900 for teachers
and janitors in the evening schools, $685.
900 for teachers and janitors in the color
ed schools, 1856, 600 for books and sta
tionery. $105. 900 for corporate schools,
and 1919 900 for new sites for school
buildings, repairs, furniture and heating
apparatus. This does not include any es-
innate of the cost of private schools, which
must reach high figure.

THE DECENTRALIZATION OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY.

The Pioneer Press, one of the most
| thoroughgoing republican papers in the
northwest, prints thoughtful article on
the present disrupted condition of its
party, and for the benefit of our readers,
| we give it a place entire in the columns of
the ARGUS:
Day adds to day new evidence of the
feet now no longer to be questioned, that
the republican party is rapidly approach
| ing crisis in it's fortunes and its history.
By reason of the very circumstances that
| it has been, and that the body of its mem
bers still aspire to make it the party of
high moral ideas, of progress, of reform,
it is threatened with the danger of internal
CONFUSION and disrupted. Organized OPP
position from without it has learned to
meet, and almost to dispose. so easily won
have been its victories in that direction.
Internal decay is the enemy it has to fear.
Its foes are in its own household. In spite
of struggles for purity, for DISTINGUISHED
ness and for honest government, such as
the history of no other party in this
country, merely as political party, can
rec ord, the dry rot of personal and selfish
ambition, using the WORKOUT and cast
aside machinery of a cruder and ruder era
to effect its purposes, has taken hold of re-
publicanism and threatens to consume it.
All that patriotic spirit and unselfish party
devotion which has made the name ''re-
publican" q token of honor and an augury
of conquest has risen in rebellion. The
irrepressible conflict between the old and
the new has begun. The signs of its
progress are to be seen on every hand.
The watch-words of its opposing camps
are ON every lip. The republican party is
not one to drift INTERESTINGLY backward
| in the eddy caused by the reversal of pol
1tics springing from great national ca
lamity It viii go forward, or be rent
asunder and illustrate in politics the great
law of the physical world-the survival of
the fittest
All men may be divided, with reference
to the way in which they regard political
subjects, into three classes; the profes-
sional office seekers, the disinterested and
patriotic citizens, in full meaning of that
term, and the utterly Indifferent. Upon
the proportions and relations of these de-
pend the fate of governments and the
destinies of parties. Of these three, the
last mentioned, nowadays happily decreas
ing in number, are the most reprehensible
and the least worthy of even common re-
spect. Every man owes it as a solemn
duty TO himself, to his neighbor, to society
and to the state, to study political affairs
to have voice in the selection of rulers
and the acception or rejection of schemes

The Endorsement of Folger's nomination

weeks Harper's Weekly. is repudiated by
George William Curtis. its editor, who has

All over the country the same feeling
prevails among honest republicans. That
they are going to burst the machine" and
the bosses this fall there is no doubt.
New York and Pennsylvania are given up
by the party leaders, while it is not i'm
probable that Fosters large majority in
Ohio will be entirely overcome. We have
a local "boss" in Morris, who wants TO
boss Rock Island county as her sheriff;
but the people viii have none of him, and

political grave on the 9TH of November.

Ever since the editor of the ARGUS came
to Rock Island he has heard only one motive
assigned by republicans for the nomination
of their candidate for county treasurer.
In every instance we have been told that
Mr.. Fleming was nominated .out of SYM
pathy." Desiring further light, we have
asked our respected morning contemporary
to inform us why Mr.. Fleming was in need
of sympathy, but so far it has lodged the
question. The people, whose money he is
seeking TO take care of as their treasurer,
are entitled to know.

How To Make Koumiss.

Fill quart champagne bottle up to
the neck with pure milk. add two table
spoonfulls of white sugar, after dissolv-
ing the same in little water over hot
fire; add also quarter of 2-cent cake
of compressed yeast. Then tie the cork
on the bottle securely, and shake the
mixture well; place it in room of the
temperature of so to 95 degrees Fahren-
heit for six hours, and finally in the ice
box over night. Drink in such guam
titles as the stomach may desire. 1t
will be well to observe several important
injunctions in preparing the koumiss.
and they are: First. to be sure that the
milk is pure; second, that the bottle is
sound; third, that the yeast is fresh;
fourth, to open the mixture in the morn
ing with great care, on account of its
effervescent properties; fifth, not to
drink it at all if there is any curdle or
thickened part resembling cheese, as
this indicates that the fermentation has
been prolonged beyond the proper time.

WILL VOTE AGAINST IT.
Peoria Freeman.

On the subject of voting money to com
plete the state house at Springfield, the
Woodford Sentinel, says:
The people will be called on at our next
general election, Nov 18th, to vote for or
against appropriating 1881, 712.18 to com
plete the state house, at Springfield. We
shall not pretend to say to any person that
they must vote our way on this question,
but as far as our own vote goes, we expect
to cast il against the appropriations and
always will until the city of Spring
field performs her part of the con-
tract. She promised in the start of
erecting the building to donate to the
state the lands ON which to erect the
building. After the building was well
under way they secured the payment of
several thousand dollars for the land.
Some person might say it was not the fault
of the Springfield people, but of the men
who audited the account. To such we
would say that had the Springfield people
not asked it the auditors would not have
allowed the bill. We think the people
have paid enough now to have had even a
better building than the one now under
erection
The Sentinel, but echoes the sentiment
of large majority of the people of the
entire state. The capitol was secured by
fraudulent promises. Now let Springfield
redeem her word, or let the state house
remain in its present unfinished condition.
