THE POOL.

The following particulars are made pub
lie concerning the new arrangements of
the railroad pool which includes this city,
Moline and Davenport:
The Northwestern Traffic association
taking in the freight and passenger bust
ness between Chicago and st. Paul and
Minneapolis; the Central Iewa association
taking in the freight business between
Chicago and Des Moines and Central Iowa
points; the Rock Island Davenport Moline
association, taking in the freight business
between Chicago 81 Rock Island, Daven-
port and Moline. The three associations
are worked virtually under the same plan.
The business is not pooled and each road
is allowed to take all the business it
can get. They agree to maintain the
regular tariff rates and that the short line
to either of the points is to make the rates.
No drawbacks, rebates or other induce
ments to shippers can be given. The road
violating the agreement is to be fined not
lest than $500 nor more than 80, 900, and
the amount of the cut rate is to be forfeit
ed and the whole amount is to be equally
divided among the other roads. Mr..
George Carman will be the commissioner
for the three associations, and he is en-
powered to prepare all tariffs and issue all
orders and circulars. He will also have to
investigate all charges of a violation of the
agreement. To enable him to do this sue
cessfully he will have access to all the
books, papers, and documents of the va
rious roads Mr.. Carman also continues
commissioner of the Burlington Wabash
pool on Iowa business. 1t is stated that
the business of the three aboved-named
associations amounts to about $4,000
600 per annum, and it is therefore not sur
prising that there was such general excite
ment over the prophecy of a war, and why
the managers of the various roads were so
pleased when they found that all their diff
ferences had been surmounted and that
peace and harmony is to prevail among
them hereafter.

bic. Capt J. J. Parks introduced Gen.
Green B. Raum, commissioner of Internal
Revenue. The latter made a long and
carefully prepared speech, in which he ac-
cused the democrats of everything from
rn;ling the crops to originating the cyclone
in Iowa. He intimated the republicans
were the best and purest set of men the
sun ever got chance to shine upon. and
claimed that the party had accomplished
more good than had been the case for the
preceding eighteen centuries. The only
claim for the party which he neglected to
make was in creating the world, and it is
highly probable that if Dorsey. Belknap,
Grant, Shepard and Pope" Bob Ingersoll
had been aroused at that time, they would
have made better terrestrial globe than
the one now doing service.
Gen. j. G. Smith, the republican candi-
date for state treasurer, was also intro
duced but he felt that too much had
already been said about the party and ex-
cused himself.
Poor Col. Marsh the republican nomi-
nee for congress in this district, was
unable to show himself in this city at the
meeting. 1t is understood that he bears
the Rock Island republicans not the best
of feelings for the course they took in the
congressional convention which nominated
him.

eminent clerks applauded, and the first re-

JT Is NOW TWO DAYS since our esteemed
contemporary, the Post, has been heard to
lift up its Democratic voice and howl about
the wrongs Of Republican statesmen in the
matter OF committee assignments. We said
at the start that Gen. Keifer's committees
would, as il were, grow up with the coun.
try. Those statesmen who took the coun-
try into their confidence and advertised
grievance probably wouldn't do it
again if they had TO commence anew.
As a matter of fact, the public is not
sympathetic This is very cold world.
Wherefore it frequently happens that an
individual, albeit eminent, receives a shock
Of astonishment at the stiffness with which
the people receive his complaints. 1t is
not well, when one has been kicked, to go
about exhibiting the lump raised by the
eoneussien.

EIGHT REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD USEAN
ideal COFFEE POT"

lst Because you will have Coffee in all its
purity strength and favor.
I'd. Because by our process the Coffee is not
boiled, hence YOU and keep i'll the pot all the
favor. which is always lost by boiling.
I'd. Because you can make at least one quarter
more Coffee from same amount OF grain, than Is
made ny the old method.
4th. Because the Coffee grain does not touch
the sides bottom of the pot, hence the Coffee ls
neither black nor bitter.
5th Because you use no clearing matter what
ever, as the sack acts perfect carifier
9Th Because a simple arrangement over the
spout inside the pot prevents all escape of steam
and aroma.
7th Because the ideal COFFEE AND TEA
PoTsn are The simplest and cheapest pots in the
world.
sth. Because they are recommended by the
highest dgntaries and best-known people in the
land, who actually use them.
Just as good for Tea as il is for Coffee.

THE PARTIES engaged in the disgraceful
conspiracy of Friday are making haste to
try and break the force of public opinion
which so forcibly condemns their outrage
Gus action Mr.. Blunt, one of the prosecu-
tors, explains that it was intended to arrest
the parties at 10 o'clock in the morning on
"informations, but it was concluded that
warrants must be used and that it required
a large force until late at night to prepare
them. This explanation explains the con-
sAltaton between Bliss and Smell and
shows that Smell informed Bliss that "in-
formations would meet the same fate in
his court that they did in the higher one.
The Judge instructs the prosecution how to
proceed that the victims may not escape.
Next comes Capt. Prince, clerk of the
Police Court and factotum for Judge Smell.
lie declares that it is not the first time
that Judge Smell has been consulted by
prosecutors, and cites two previous cases.
SO much the worse for Smell. We had sup.
posed he had been guilty of only one such
outrage according to his factotum it is a
habit of his. The defense is about the
same as if woman who had been accused
If unchastity defended herself by pleading
previous acts Of similar character

for his invariable luck at ecarte. No stake
was too high for this gentleman and one

him. His high play and success were not
confined to London, but the Curragh
Camp, Aldershot and other military CEN

and at the last session of the Central Crimi-

SOUTH Florida Is receiving a large per
cent. of the immigration which continues
to flow into that State in an uninterrupted
and by no means minute stream. Sanford,
in Orange County, has grown from the lit
tie village of six dwellings and post
office of six years ago to a large and pros
porous town with numerous fine business
houses. elegant hotels ana handsome pri-
Vate residences. Maitland and Orlando,
III the same county, have in a few years
grown into large and fourishing towns
Hundreds of orange groves relieve the
monotony of the once unbroken forests OF
the pine Thickly settled neighborhoods
have sprung into existence on every side
and the howl of the wolf is replaced by the
ringing of the settlers axe. sThese vast
transformations have been accomplished
for the most part, in the last ten years.

WEifaNE read the address of the Hon
Josub L. Mcdonald on the Tariff ques
tiu. like cycrNthing that cmanates

able and an exceedingly thoughtful utter
arce. But in our humble judgment our dis
tntuishtd friend is not setting his feet in
the paths of success. Tho late BENJAMIN
Disracli once snid that craftsmanship was
tlit art Of arprohondmg the spirit of the
time in which one lived. Tho spirit Of
our time does not run in the direction sug-
l,st,d by ex-senator Mcdonald. Amer
lean society is a fabric more or less Isolated
from the universal society Of the world,
This is true not less because of industrial
Ian Of political conditions The Tariff,
a. rather the Protective idea, which the
existing Tariff but imperlectly expresses,
- one of the foundations of the structure
Of American society. 1t is to n great eX-
tent the regulator of the wages paid to
American workingmen. Upon the scale of
wages fixed by the operations of the Tariff
is based certain style of living. These
are simple, practical facts, and no reasoning
however acute or brilliant, can wipe them
out
Here, for example, is an esteemed fellow
citizen He works in rolling mill. His
wages are So % % day. He produces a COM
modity which is protected by the Tariff
Competing with him is British working

On the whole, he is pretty well to do.

This is one of the effects Of the Tariff. Al
all events, the American workingmar
thinks it is And no statesman has ever
succeeded in convincing him to the con
trary.
Hence it is that Tariff for Revenu,
only" is not a platform to win on. The dom
mating American idea is that American
Labor must be protected. 1t is a dogma
The American workingman will alway
vote for his dogma. If pushed he woul'
probably fight for it, 1t is, therefore, use
less for statesmen to try to argue him ou
