A Society Episode.

So you think ! should marry, old fellow,
And give up my bachelor joys;
am a little bit mellow.
Though I'd pass in crowd of the boys.
Besides have money in plenty,
And gold is Society's king;
can rival poor man Of twenty
With my carriage and solitaire ring.
Now to surprise you, dear Charley,
I've decided to slip on the chains:
You at least do not think 1t is folly.
And you, my dear fellow. have brains.
asked her the question by letter
You know that's the style in the East.
II ia four weeks to-day that met her
my counting was youth ul at least.
Do Hove her? Well, not to distraction,
Small sentiments not in my line;
With two millions clear and fraction.
Any girl should ask would be mine.
And this one is poor-there's the folly;
But she's lovely, and bright a. the day;
And to whisper it softly, dear Charley,
am slightly rheumatic and gray.
A letter with q seal of sweet cupid!
Her acceptance; sans doute, let US see,
Refused! How perfectly stupid
You villain, stop laughing at me
And you knew all the time of the mitten?
Engaged to you, sir, did you say
Any blind man could see you were smitten
But you've only lieutenants pay.

THE SCARCITY OF TEAMS.
Tons Upon Tons Of Freight that Cannot
be TranspOrted-The Only Hopes Of
DnlSoR

be Transported-The Only Hopes Of
Relief.
Notwithstanding the heavy receipts
of freights by our local dealers during
the past few months, the stocks of
general merchandise on hand are
much lighter than they should be, and
grave apprehensions of scarcity, if not
worse, are beginning to be felt. Some
classes Of goods, such as eggs, for in
stance, are not to be had at any price,
already, and there is no probability of
a new stock coming in soon, as most
of the freight teams are captured and
set to work along the line Of the rail-
road as soon as they can be secured.
Several tons of freight have been lay
ing at Blackfoot for weeks, waiting
for teams, and even an advance of
half cent per pound does not tempt
freighters to go after it. At kelton
the same state of affairs exists, the
rate having recently been raised from
4 to three cents per pound, and even
the Fast Freight Line cannot bring
all the freight expected in on it,
wagons, at four cents per pound. Il
begins to look as If we would have tc
await the completion of the railway tc
Little Wood River, at least, before
the freight already at Blackfoot, or
the Utah Northern, and at kelton, or
the Central Pacific, can be got in.

low woRKrSomEx ARE pRorEcrED.

From New York, a telegram announces
an importation of five thousand Europeans
in a single day, a large proportion of
which were skilled lahorers, the object of
whose coming to America is to enter into
competition with American skilled labor
ers in the American labor market. Thus
American labor, which the protection doc
trinaires assure us is protected by high
tariff duties against the 'pauper labor of
Europe" is brought into competition in its
own workshops with the alleged 'spauper
labor" against which it has been falsely
told high tariff duties would protect it.
This importation included an install
ment of diamond cutters from Amsterdam
and an installment of lace makers from
Lvreux. The former were brought over
by a Boston employer, locally noted for
the loudness of his preaching that tariff
duty on diamonds is necessary 30 protect
the American diamond manufacturing in
dustry against the competition of Europe
an diamond manufacturers and to protect
the labor of the American diamond-cutter
against the rivalry of spauper labor" or
Amsterdam diamond cutters. IT is safe TO
say, however. that the Boston diamond
manufacturer has never been heard to adj
vocate high tariff on imported Dutch di-
amondcutters for the protection of the la
Dor of Boston diamond-cutters. The Cos
pei of protectionism does not go to that
extent. It is just possible that these fire.
quent and large importations of European
workmen by protected American manufac-
turers may, after a while, induce some de-
iuded American artisans to inquire why it
does not, and wherein win protection pro-
tect American labor If it does not?

PRESS SERVICE.

The negligent manner in which the
Northwestern Associated Press is served
from Des Moines is a cause for constant
and increasing complaint. A few nights
ago an account of the meeting of an inn
portant Mining Bureau in Des Moines was
patched up from specials in the Chicago
office as news, when twenty four hours old.
On the other hand the National AssocIa
ton was promptly and officially served by
its Des Moines representative on the night
of the meeting. Such neglect of duty is
becoming altogether too common.-Dao-
export Gazette
In the light of the events of last fall that
item is very funny. 1t takes ones thoughts
back to the time when the Gilchrist disas-
ter occurred here, and the manager of the
Press Association telegraphed the Gazette
for news and could get none; how the
Union was in the same ignorant condition
and finally the ARGUS, then an evening
paper. and not bound to furnish night
news, was applied to, and did send a com
plete account, filing the last of the copy"
at three o'oIock in the morning; an account,
by the way, that was much fuller than
either of the morning papers. For this
service the ARGUS received the thanks of
the Association, and the Gazette and Union
were both censured, the Gazette being told
that the Association would put man in
Davenport and charge his expense to the
Gazette if that paper was not prompter
about news And now it grumbles about
Des Moines, which has always been
prompt.

JUDGE CRAIG.

The radical papers are making a hot
fight against Judge Craig. and about the
only thing they find to say against him is
that he is a democrat. 1t probably is a
convincing argument and argues well for
the success of Judge Mccullough, who, by
the way, is republican, but there still
turks suspicion that it would be as well
to bring some other plea against him. 1t
does not seem to be doubted for a
moment that he has made q good
judge; it is not denied that he would make
a good one again; it is acknowledged that
his success is established, while the election
of Cullough would be an experiment; but
still comes up the damning cry HE is a
democrat Now it is by no means certain
that he is democrat, for nine years he has
been entirely out of politics and most of
the time he has never voted. If he is a
democrat he is by no means a partisan one.
But let us have it that he is democrat;
what does that prove. What is there in a
judgeship that it requires a republican to
fill it? Does republicanism mean greater
legal talentf does it argue man to be a
finer jurist9 It certainly does not prove

THE TURNER FESTIVAL.

Two weeks from to-day, out at Jacobsen
Garden, in Northwest Davenport, the Tur-
ners, comprising the upper Mississippi dis
trict, will be in the midst of the exercises
and merriment incident to their tenth ben
nical festival On Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, May 27th, 2Sth and goth. the fes-
tival occurs under the management of the
Northwest Davenport Turner Society De
legates from q dozen different societies in
and around Davenport will participate, and
judging from the extensive arrangements
made for their reception and entertainment,
the affair will be red letter one in the his
tory of Turner festivals.
On the first day, Saturday, the guests
will be received at the depots by the local
reception committee, and escorted to the
hotels; at night will occur a grand torch
light procession and social gathering at
Northwest Davenport Turner Hall.
On the second day, Sunday, at 8 80, a
M, will occur procession from the Ger
man theatre to the festival grounds at Ja-
cobsens garden. Ii. Meyer, president of
the Northwest Davenport Turner Society
will deliver welcome address, and the
dav will be devoted to turning, calisthen-
cs, athletic sports by the members and
prize tournament by the pupils. At 5 p,
m. Gustav Donald will deliver an address
in German, and in the evening fine vo-
Cal and instrumental concert has been ar
aanged to occur in the German theatre.
Monday, the third day, at 8 a m, the
societies will parade through the principal
streets to the picnic ground, and the day
will be devoted to the prize tournament by
the members. AT p. m. Mayor Bills will
deliver an address, and in the evening a
grand ball and the distribution of prizes
at the German theatre.
Strasser's Union Band will furnish the
music, and arrangements have been made
by which the c., r. l. & p. will rnn spe-
cial passenger trains to and from the festi-
val grounds at convenient hours, the round
trip tickets costing fifteen cents.

tons will be present from Des Moines, OF

CONGRESSIONAL.

Lord John b. Hawley, we learn, has re-
moved back to Rock Island from Chicago.
This means Congressional business, and
explains how it comes that Rock Island
county was again tackled on to this dis
trict to make sure of republican member
of Congress. IL we are to again be Bills
tered witha member of that persuasion
we would as soon have Benz Marsh as
any of the clan of the dozen hungry
wolves that are aspiring for the Office and
the emoluments.-Mo Monmouth Recseac.
Hawley is lot coming back to Rock Is
land; that is SO far as any information at
hand is reliable. But the republicans of
Rock Island are not the kind of men that
will permit that for moment to stand in
the way for an attempt on the Congress-
man. Candidates are as thick here as the
leaves in Vallelsasen and as important as
medicants. They are justly, and backbit-
ing each other with all the acrimony and
vim of ladies church sewing society.
They seem to be troubled with the idea
that Rock Island will get the nomination;
a foolish idea, but yet they have it, and it
win probably take a strong dose of Con-
gressional convention to persuade them of
their error. Our friend jackson is strong
in his faith and hope, and it is openly
charged here that the Union made its first
break on the bridge toll question and its
subsequent mastery retreat into inactivity
and silence in order to kill off Capt. Rob
inson in the Jackson interest Their names
could be given by the score, and Moline
comes in also with its little candidate.
Considering the hopelessness of the quest
the whole thing is very funny.
