PALM SUNDAY.

estertiay being the last Sunday in Lent
was termed Palm Sunday. This is so cali
ed froinAhe custom of blessing branches oil
tire PAIN tree, or 81 other trees substituted
in those countries in which the. palm can
not be secured, and of carrying the blessed
branches in procession in commemorative
of the triumphal entry of Christ into Jelgl-
salem, The date of the origin of this Gus
tom is uncertain. The first writer who
makes notice of it was the venerable Bede.
The usage certainly existed in the. seventh
century. A special service is found in the
Roman missal, and also in the Greek Gu
choligies for the blessing of the palm
branches and olives, and in many countries
other trees are substituted. In England,
the yew or willow, and in Brittany the box
are used. In the Catholic church. during
the singing of the Passover in the solemn
mass which ensues, the branches are held
by the congregation, and at the conclusion
of the service it is carried home, where IL
is preserved during the year. At Rome,
the Passover of the Palms is among the
most striking ceremonies held during Holy
week. The Episcopal church discontinued
the practice during the reign of Edward
VI 2
The ceremony was properly observed by
the Catholic churches of this city yester-
day.

THIRD WARD.


T This Ward has become the battle ground
of the election as the republicans have con
lcentrated all their forces and showered oui
all their campaign funds on. their candid
| ates and the excitement over the result il
most intense. The republicans have re-
nominated for the position J.V. Maheney,
and they are not only spending large sum
of money TO secure his election but are
working early and late to accomplish that
object. Over the slough" has become a
by-word, among those who are engaged in
the contest, as the region south Of the
slough is being worked for all it is worth.
Mayor Carse and the municipal ring gen
orally are working hard for Mr.. Mahoney.
and this support has proved a disadyant-
age to the republican, candidate, asst has
caused the Independent voter to ask why
such selieitude should be manifested for
Mr. Mahoney when other republican can
,didates are allowed to paddle alone their
political canoes. -. ssm
+ Mr.. Mahoaey, as member of the last
coancil saw fit to oppose the increased
wages for street 1a5orers, while he favored
the increase of ssbosses' pay. This discrim,
ination against the laboring class caused
many of his former supporters to desert
him, and has made his canvass an uphill
business. Another, feature of Mr. Maho-
nevas official conduct which has been gem
orally censured was his course in the War.
rensinvestigation Mr. Mahoney's report,
as chairman of the investigation commit
tee, contained sufficient to discharge the
officer under investigation, yet he opposed
the resolution looking towards Warren s,
dismissal The majority of people are at
a loss to explain this conduct on the part
of Mr.. Mahoney in a satisfactory manner,
and some of them are unkiAd enough to
accuse him of playing into the hands of
the Mayor and his pet
Another serious charge which has been
made against Mr. Mahoney is the fact that
if elected he win use his influence to Sc

THE AVERAGE CITIZEN

of Rock Island is becoming disguised witt
the insignificant figure which the city dele
CATION has played in the county legislation
and viii reform matters by casting bis vote
for the democratic nominations for those
positions. The republicans have named c.
H Ritter. a grocer, George Schneider, q
grocer, f. M Sinnet and c. II. Stoddard
for supervisor and assistant supervisors
respectively. Three OF them manage gro
Gerry stores, and of course furnish the
county prisoners in jail. and the inmates of
other county Institutions with some of the
articles which are desired in that line. A
great many speople~are of the opinion that
It would lock better if the supplies were
furnished .bysseme one who did not hold
an 0ffTieiaf position. j ust what Mr.. Stod-
dard's claims for official recognition is, no
one has yet made known. Mr.. Sinnet
figured in a rafting contract between AL
derEnan Barber and The city. Mr. Sinnet
allowed Barber to use his (Sinnet's1 name
and thus the affair was satisfactorily ar
ranged. The TRANSACTION was republican
in its appearance and Mr.. Sinnet has been
rewarded by placing him on the ticket as
assistant supervisor
! The democratic ticket : for Supervisor
and assistant Supervisors is headed by
Arthur Burial. and includes Phillip Sim
mons, Peter Farrell, George Schafer and
John Cordts. None of them have grocery
store, and none of them ever allowed his
name to be used by an alderman to cover
up any transaction which should have
