The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-06-01

A measure was recently brought for
ward in the English parliament under what
is called the corrupt practices bill, the in
tent Of which was to prohibit saloons
from keeping open on election days. This
measure is an abridgement of liberty to
which the people of free America have
been accustomed to submit uncomplain-
ingly. 1t is true that there is always more
or less disposition to leave back doors and
rear entrances to the saloons unguarded,
and that it is rarely difficult matter to
find the publicans transgress1ng the law
even during the most exciting elections,
but it is not at all common thing to hear
any one finding fault with the law itself,
officer he marches into court manfully and
pays his fine without grumbling. The
proposition to enforce such a law in Eng
land, however, appears to be causing about
as much excitement there as the coercion
act. The licensed victuallers are holding
meetings in every direction, denouncing
the measure as dangerous, unjust, tyran
nical and Objectionable in all its features.
1t is an act, they say, which singles out
the public houses as a single branch of
trade for prosecution. They are taking
steps to secure ageneral expression from
the class most affected, and the govern
menf will be assaulted with a monster pro-
test.

A MISTAKE.

He little thonght--this gentleman, who

and known to many business men by rea-
SON of the fact that he sends his collector

circus visit to Davenport, that Bohemian
representative of the ARGUS was within
hearing Ifhe was aware of that fact,
probably he would have let the circum

self and the midget lady hereafter referred
to-
AS said before, it was the night of Sells
circus appearance in Davenport, the hour
half past eleven, and as dark SIS heavy
black clouds would make it. The gentle
man was winding his way along Fifth
street, east of Perry. Noticing some forty

feet ahead of him, and walking in the
same direction, a little object he surmised
to be baby, his curiosity was aroused.
He followed, keeping a reasonable distance
away. Then he imagined something was
wrong; why should three year old baby
he knew now that it was baby-be wan
dering alone down that dark and deserted
street, at such an unusual hour? The fact
of a circus exhibiting that night flashed
INTO his mind, and perhaps it was child
lost from its parents in the seething crowd,
going it knew uot where. His noble ma
ture gained the mastery, here, and he re-
solved to find out, if possible, who the child
was, and restore it to its parents should j.
be able to give its name.
Quiekening his steps. he reached the
little object, and quietly, from behind and
unseen, he raised it in his arms, turned it
around, looked into its face, and asked,
"WeIl my little dear, amt you lost to-
night?" Then came a series of
vigorous kicks and wriggles for
an infant, and demand, not
in childish accents by any means, from the
supposed infant, to let her alone and go
about his bushes. She was no baby girl;
she was the midget lady of the side show,
or annex, connected with the circus, and
was on her way to the car. He dropped
the diminutive bundle of humanity
quicker than flash, when to his conster-
nation and discontinue, he discovered that
the human object of his solicitude and
anxiety was none other than the small
lady. of uncertain age, who stands upon a
raised platform inside a canvass enclosure,
and exhibits herself tor the pleasure of the
public. She was old enough to take care
of herself, Notwithstanding her smallness
