PUBLIC BUILDINGS

The ARGUS has frequently expressed its
sorrow that Mr. Henderson did not get
himself into that position that he could
have ensured to us a public building, and
it now seems that Rock Island is not alone
in its grief, Keokuk also having failed of
the same darling desire. The Constitution
of that burg, is complaining that q public
building is easily gained by the use of a
little wire pulling. and, like the ARGUS,
regrets that their congressman forgot so
evident duty. In order to show the ease
with which these things can. be managed,
the following dispatch is quoted:
Bayard this morning made something
of stir by coming forward and asking
that this little bill appropriating IS, 900
for public building in New Castle, Del,
should be taken up out of its order and
considered, on account of his being obliged
to go away from the city for time The
reason why this bill was allowed to be
considered out of its order was misunder-
stood by several senators, and it was very
amusing to notice that, after the Delaware
senator got his bill through, nearly every
senator present had public building bill
in his pocket, and they all came forward,
asking that their little bills also be consid-
cred. Conger. Ferry. Butler of South
Carolina Beck and Harris were all talking
together. The senate was, for the first
time this session, excited. Finally Judge
Davis made them understand that Mr. Bay
ard had his case made special because he
was obliged to go out of the city, and that
the rest must fall back if the people in
charge of the five per cent bill should insist
on the regular order. Mr.. Plumb said he
should insist because it was evident that il
he did not the senate would talk for a
week. The funny part about it was to no
tice the perfect log-rolling system that ex-
lists in the senate. When q man with a
public building came up, every other man
with public building bill was his supper
ter. and the locks, and mods and winks
that were exchanged, indicated that when
the proper time does come there are enough
public buildings to be ordered by congress
to control majority of the senate; and
therefore secure the passage of bills pro-
viding for them.

ONE WAY OF MAKING MONEY.

The company that runs the Chicago
corset factory has its dealings with the
operatives beautifully arranged by a sys-
tenn of fines and figures. The three hun
dred female operatives get from thirty to
fifty cents per dozen pieces. and after
paying their fines sometimes manage to
go home on Saturday night with five or
ten cents IN their pocket as the result of
their weeks work. This is the way the
money gees: For breaking a needle
costing a quarter of a cent or a
whalebone costing half a cent, fine
five cents; for leaving the machine, five
cents; dropping oil five cents; for more
than half an hour for dinner five cents;
breaking a bobbin, five cents; for days
absence. the days wages and twenty cents
By this system the company manages to
collect almost all the earnings in fines.
The ground-down girls also complain that
the managers make it a rule to open all
letters and sealed packages that come to
the factory addressed to the operatives.
They rebel, and the papers have espoused
their canse.

A. HUMAN TARGET.

During the festivities attendant upon
the picnic of the German free school at
Schutzen Park on Sunday, occurred an ac-
cident. which has since resulted in the
death of man named William Kuehl. He
was engaged in tending the target, while
some children were shooting the distance
being but one hundred yards. A lad
named Eggers had just snapped one cart
ridge, which failed to explode, and shot an
other just as Kuehl popped his head over the
box in front of the target pit to see what
caused the delay. He received the ball in
the head just between the eyebrows. he
was taken to Mercy Hospital Immediately,
where he died yesterday afternoon.
The shooting was purely accidental on
the part of young Eggrs. Kuehl was of
such a disposition, and his a tions of such
a character in the past-attempting to
commit suicide twice-that it is surmised
he adopted this means of ending his
existence. He was without relatives here,
and will be buried in the potter's field at
Pine Hill cemetery.

and democratic votes will not make it So.

Leader.
The attitude taken by the Leader on the
amendment question is the right one As
a matter of expediency it is not in favor of
it; but in the fight it sees nothing wherein
democrat is bound to oppose it. For two
Legislatures the democrats have fought
against it, as party. and fought single
handed. Not German republican-who
now so strongly cry it down-not license
man who was also republican aided them.
They fought it as matter of principle
alone, for neitn.r the party or its members
had anything to gain or lose in the fight.
1t put forward candidates for two legisla
lures on license platform in counties
where that platform meant certain defeat,
and not a German or license republican
voted for them It did this because the
party is, and always win be, opposed to
license lawss, and, as party, will oppose
them.
When the last legislature met the
question was decided on q party vote.
There we re one hundred members of that
legislasur e. twenty-five of them demo-
Gratis, and the opposition to the amend
ment pc,lled just twenty nine votes The
voted as q body against it.
Had Gle moerats been elected in place of
these republicans that amendment would
never have gone to vote of the people,
but the license republicans preferred to
vote for republican who did not repre-
sent their PRINCIPLES. In view of these
facts the democrats think their fight has

INTEMPERANCE.

The fight in Iowa over the amendment
question is bitter and will undoubtedly
continue SO; but there is one thing it
would be well for the prohibitionists to
remember, namely, that temperance is a
virtue and should be practiced in speech
and thought as well as in drinking. Now
the Northaoestera in speaking to the friends
of the amendment SAYS,
Friends in Iowa, avoid moderation in
your combat. Be ultra, be fanatical, be
sentimental" be unwearied, be uncom-
promising Your foes will lie,
cheat, buy, bride, abuse, deceive, and even
concede that you are bound to win, in
order to cast you off your guard Millions
of dollars are at stake, and rumites viii
fight as she-bea for her cubs
When it is remembered that these words
are spoken to party that would arrogate
to itself all the Christian virtues of tenn
perance, moderation and charity, we must
conclude that either the northeastern or
else St. Paul is at fault. This broadside
accusation of cheating. bribing, abuse
course for an advocate of temperance, and
is far short of the biblical teachings from
which they would have us believe they
draw their Inspiration. The entirety of
the matter is that mea, who are in some
respects fair and honest, become so carried
away-fanatical Is a good term-with a
like the present one in Iowa,
that they do not seem TO understand that
the means they use to accomplish their
ends may be wrong. They call themselves
Christians. and yet in claiming for them
selves all the Christian virtues, forget that
chief virtue, humility, that the New Testa-
ment so glorifies. and become in all effects
Pharisees. which it so condemns. There
is temperance 60 be practiced in other
things beside drinking.

- The report ofthe Senate Committee on
Civil Service and Retrenchment made by
Senator. Pendleton upon the bill to regu-
late and improve the civil service of the
United States will. he printed and the ties
timony accomplishing the report, which is
Quite bulky, wifi follow in q few days.
The bin is known as the Pendleton bill,
and within rational limits Senator Pendle-
ton will earnestly press les early consider
Axiom. The report sets. forth. that the
growth of our country from $50, 900
square miles to 4,000,0 600, the increase of
population from 5000, 900 to 5o.000,oo0.
and the addition of twenty five States i'm
periai in size and capabilities, have caused
a corresponding deveiopeInent of The ma
chinery and faculties of the Government.
In. the beginning. even as late as 1901,
there were 906 post offices. now there
are 44,S48; then there were SO custom
houses. now there are 1876; then the reve-
nues were less than $4,000, 600. now they
eign countries were A, now they are 80 then
our consuls Were 90, now they are 72S;
then less than 1000 men sufficed TO admin
lister the Government. now more than 10O,-
900 are needed; then one man might per
sonally know candidates for. the civil SER
vice, appoint them on their merits and SUI
pervise the performance of their duties,
and for sufficient cause remove all the of
ficers; now no single human being, howev
er great his intelligence, discrimination, in
dustry, endurance and devotion, even if re-
lieved of every other duty, can, unaided.
select and retain in official station those
best fitted to discharge the many and vari-
ed and delicate functions of the Govern
ment." The report describes the spells

extent to which it has, with the growth of

the country. practically changed the of
flee of Chief Magistrate. II portrays the
degree to which the Executive and Con-
gressmen are besieged under the reign OF
this system. cit has come to be wide
spread belief" says the report, that the
public service is a charitable institution
furnishing employment to the needy and q
home to those adrift. Employment, is
sought of the Government because it can
not be found elsewhere" A late secretary
of the Treasury is reported to have
said that -sixths of the APP
plicants for office during his administra-
ton based their demands not on merit, or
fitness or character, but on their poverty
and incapacity otherwise to obtain live
lihood. The early practice of the govern
ment is mentioned: During the eight
years of General Washington's administra-
ton there were only nine removals, and all
for cause Mr. Adams made nine re-
movals also but it is believed that none
were because of a difference of po-
litical opinion Mr. jefferson removed
only thirty nine office holders and he re
peatedly and solemnly declared that not
one was removed because the incumbent
belonged to a political party different
from his own. Mr. Madison during eight
years made five removals. Mr.. Monroe
during eight years made nine and Mr..
John Quincy Adams during four years
made but two" It is clearly explained
what the Pendleton bill is and what it is
not, an explanation much needed, as the
bill is widely misunderstood. One argu
ment against the measure is specific ally
answered. The opponents of the bill are
fond of saying that when citizens become
office holders they do not cease to be citi-
Zens,' or lose any of their rights,
or avoid any of the responsibilities OF
citizenship, as though this bill affirmed the
contrary doctrine. This statement has
been thousand times repeated as IL it
were an argument against the measure
and as though the bill were denial of
these rights. The report protests and
proves that the provisions of the bill will
make the office-holder a better citizen, and
not less citizen nor a worse citizen. A
volume of interesting testimony will ac-
company the report so soon as printed,
which will make an interesting treatise
upon the science of administration.

THE JEF,rERsoN MonUmErr.

The Washington Star says: The passage
of the resolution appropriating SIC. 900 for
the erection OF o monument to Thomas
jefferson at Monticello, raises the question
anew as to the ownership of the cemetery
where his remains repose- Capt Levy,
the purchaser of Monticello from the heirs
OF Jefferson, always commended that the
cemetery was included in the purchase.
The late n. 2. Trist, who married Mr..
Jeferson's grand daughter, was also of the
opinion that the heirs had enthusiastically
Invested themselves of title in the GENE
