THE NEW YORK SITUATION.

"Can the Republicans elect q Cover
nor?" was the startling title of a leading
editorial of the New York Times of
Tuesday. That able journal made no
attempt to answer its own question di-
rectly. 1t confined itself to showing
tia. th IS TST %sS 3RlE S9s s&gsss seE ~
nominate Governor CORNELL. In the
opinion of the Times the Republican
party cannot nominate any other can
didate without seeming to serve the
purposes of JAY GOULD.
AS the situation maniefsts itself now,
the immediate purpose may not be to
put plant tool of corporate interests
in the executive chair, but it obviously
is to,punish the present incumbent for
refusing to serve those interests. Can a
majority of the people Of the State be
induced to promise such an object by
supporting candidate whose nomina-
ton is intended to have that effect?
The probabilities now are that the
nomination will lie between CORNELL
and FOLGER, and the latter certainly
has the better chance of the two.
Should he succeed he will 90 into the
canvass not merely as the tool Of the
administration, but with the shadow of
JAY GOULD's patronage over him.
Should his opponent become the can
didate of the party he cannot command
the support either of the extreme Stall"
warts or of the extreme Half-Breeds,
and his connection with JAY GOULD
has been so intimate that it will be i'm
possible to make capital for him out OF
that individuals sudden enmity. The
occasion has come when it behoo Yes
Democrats to select as their standard
bearer a man OH whom dissatisfied
Republicans can rally, and who can
still control every Democratic vote in
the Commonwealth.

Rrsr AND wEEyIL IN WHEAT.

As many farmers have held their
wheat in anticipation Of better prices,
and as wheat is generally stored in bulk,
the weather since harvest having been
unfavorable in some sections for the
preservation Of grain free from musti-
ness and weevil which are produced by
dampness, thereby greatly damaging
the quality of the grain. We give the
following from one Of our oldest and
most successful farmers; "To prevent
the tampness from producing musti-
ness and weevIl in wheat, it Is only
necessary to procure some clear and
thoroughly dry bricks, such as are used
used in the erection of houses, and scat
ter them through the bulk grain so
that there may be about one brick to
every two bushels of grain, and they
will absorb the moisture and keep the
wheat perfectly dry, thus preventing
any tendency to mustiness or weevlis.
In case of a long, continued rainy sea-
son the brick should be removed and
be replaced by fresh ones every four
weeks"
1t is well-known fact that COM
mon clay brick will absorb more than a
pint of water, and while the above may
seem simple we would advise farmers
to test its value before condemning 1t
for its simplicity, as the cost would be
comparat vely nothing, and the benefit
might be great.

THE party that carries New York
this year, says the Herald, can carry
the country in 1884. The party that is
defeated in the coming campaign in
this State, will have poor chance of
electing the next President of the United
States.
But suppose that to the Republican
loss Of these great States thisyear should
be added, the still greater loss of New
York? With Democratic successes re-
corded in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, Maine, and, perhaps, other Re-
publican States in 1882; with the State
patronage, The political machinery Of
the government and the prestige of vic
tory on the side of the Democrats in
1884, what chances or hope could the
Republicans have Of carrying the next
National election?

lin BENNErT AND THE SULTAN


The press Of the country has thrown
some discredit on an interview said to
have been held between a reporter Of
the New York Herald and the Sultan
of Turkey. Our esteemed contemporary
vouches for the character Of the inter-
view in a way that renders IL lmpossi-
BILE to doubt it genuineness any longer.
1t says:
1.-THE interview in question was the
substance of the conversation during an
audience granted by the Sultan to the
proprietor Of the Herald in the presence
of General WALLACE, the United States
minister to Turkey. 1t was written out
as accurately as possible from memory
and was revised the following day at
the Yildiz palace by the Sultan's private
secretary, LEBIB EFFENDI, at his maj
esty's command. Some of our con-
temporaries seemed to consider it
strange that the interview was sent by
mail rather than by telegraph. Our
reason for this was simply that as the
interview was the exclusive property of
the Herald and could not appear else
where, to telegraph it would only have
been an unnecessary expense for the
benefit Of JAY GOULD cables" No
body doubts that if jim BENNETT
was determined to see the Sultan he
woule find means to compass an inter
view; and there will be a sensation Of
pleased surprise among the members of
the profession to find that the proprietor
of the Herald is 50 much his fathers
son that he does not hesitate to play re-
porter when there is point to gain by

CHARsEro rHEsrAR ROUTE JURY.

Judge wYLIE, in a lucid and vigor-
ous exposition of the law applicable to
the Star Route case, delivered his charge
to the Jury yesterday afternoon. The
verdict Of the jury viii be awaited with
more general interest than has centred
upon any other jury of recent times, ex-
cept that which tried and convicted
Guiteau.
As in that case, 50 in this, the jury
itself will be on trial. The Star Route
frauds have become notorious through
out the country. They have been
scandal to our public service. Popular
sentiment demands that whoever is
guilty of them shall be brought to pun
ishment. AS the Attorney General
said in,his address, ''if there is evidence
against the defendants now on tria
the honor of the country.
the honor of the administration of
public Justice, the honor Of every man
in the jury box is concerned in seeing
that they are convicted" The testi-
mony produced for and against the ac-
cused, the arguments of counsel on both
sides and the incidental rulings of the
Court on points of law and questions Of
evidence have been read and weighed
by an intelligent public in every State
and Territory of the Union, The peo-
pie have made up their verdict, and
they have not made it up blindly or in
the dark. 1t remains to be seen wheth-
er the verdict of the twelve men EN-
powered to aequit or convict the ac-
cused will agree or disagree with the
popular verdict.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

Some heavy demands are made on
Mr.. JAY HUBBELL's committee just AZ
present. The Governments Virginia
experiment with modified reputation
Is costing a great deal of money-as
much, perhaps, as the Vmginians will
save by repudiating a portion OF their
State debt. MAHoNE has had large
chunks of Government patronage
placed at his disposal, but there is hard
ly enough of this, in view Of the in-
creasing number Of his enemies, to do
much good at the present time.
The men who are shifting the little
Stalwart hip and thigh are not to be
disarmed by a few petty offices.
MALONE has been plant and useful to
the Republicans in the Senate, and the
notion of a readjustable State debt, on
which he founded party in his State,
has helped the Republicans to several
equally plant members Of the House.
Mr.. MAHoNE and his party must there
fore be taken care of. HUBBELL has
sent down the goodly sum of $4,000,
and more will be forthcoming if this Is
not enough to allay the hostility Of Mr..
MAHoNE's enemies. HUBBELL also is
sending a good deal Of money into
Maine, where the Republicans
until recently, at least, have
been rather luke-warm, and where
the PIAIsTED fusion is giving
them considerable trouble. Don CAM
ERoN is doing his own matchmaking at
present, striking every clerk at Wash
ton who halls from Pennsylvania for
two per cent. of his salary; but, Iif worse
comes to worse, HUBBELL will be in
vited to scatter a little loose change
among the Pennsylvania Stalwarts. In
addition to all this, he is helping KEEL
LOGG, of Louisiana, 'HOUK, of Tennessee,
CHALMERS, of Mississippi, and heaven
only knows how many more with
money from the two-per-cent. corrup-
ton fund. The blackmailed clerks may
think themselves fortunate to be let of
with 3 two-per-cent. assessment, instead
of five, snch Is MALONE now levies.
Doesn't Mr.. HUBBELL think the
"grand old party" must be losing good
deal of its grandeur when it costs so
much money to keep its followers to-

Mr.. w. H. VANDERBILT has been
interviewed in regard to the general
business outlook of the country. He
would not say that the business of the
country is at this time in the best con-
dition ever experienced, nor that the
prospects are the brightest ever seen,
but he thinks the outlook tor the next
eighteen months is certainly very good.
The principal evidence of this is in the
fine crops of the West. Of course good
crops beget prosperity for all classes
when there are no drawbacks in anoth-
er direction. The labor question is not
settled, but there will be less time vast
ed in strikes next year than during the
present season.

PIG-IRON KELLY of Pennsylvania,
recently delivered a campaign speech,
in which he said:
1--WE raised last year Sl4O,OOO,OOO

suit is the corrupt legislation of the last

Why, we have got the money there;
it is living deed; why not cit" L ans

IT will be seventeen years next sum-
mer since the scourge of cholera was
widespread in the United States. The
plague in its worst form is in the Phil
lippine Islands. 1t will undoubtedly
cross the Mediterranean and appear in
Europe next year, this being the usual
route. The army in Egypt furnishes a
more direct communication with the
outside world than has existed in former
years, and, as the plague seems to be
periodical once in seventeen years, it
would be wise to be fully prepared to
meet the destroyer by all proper sani-
tarY methods.

them before Police Magistrate Chopper.
They were fined 30 and costs apiece

disturbcr of the peace and tranquility of
the city was assessed a fine of $15 and

to the armory for eighteen days.
''Who pulled the string?" was the ques-
ton propounded in the Police Magistrate's
court this morning when seven boys were
up for ringing the fire alarm at the Wide
Awake hose house yesterday afternoon.
No one seemed to know the name of the
guilty party. and the Court accordingly

THE OLD GUERNSEY.

Yesterday the cid Guernsey press that
has done duty in the ARGUS office for
twenty seven years was taken down to
make room for new one; on Saturday
night it did its last work for the ARGUS
and has been laid aside. For twenty seven
years It has done its duty and lived a
longer life than such machines generally ex-
perience. It was the only one of its kind
then standing in the world and was also the
first one manufactured. It's maker and
inventor was first printer in the Montpe-
lier, Vermont, Patriot when Mr.. ). B..
Danforth was with that paper and when
Mr. Danforth afterward came to Rock
Island and became connected with the AR
GUS. Guernsey sold him this press; that was
in 1866. 1t was then placed in the upper
story Of Buford's Block, corner of Eagle
and Illinois streets and was run by hand,
afterwards when the ARGUS office was
moved to its present location in 1871,
steam power was put in and that motor
has been used on it since. When the Rock
Islander was first started a similar machine
was bought for that paper. but when the
two papers were consolidated into the
Argus and Islander the second press was
sold in Muscatine and has long since passed

the character which he will assume on that
occasion, there is little doubt that he is I'M

Richard III. in his repertoire. This is nc
knowledged by the leading actors of the
country. and the popularity of Mr. Keene's
school of acting finds ample evidence in
the large and enthusiastic audiences which
everywhere have witnessed his impersona-
tions. His conception of Richard III.
comes nearer to that of the elder Keene
than any who have essayed the role since
his time. 1t is characterized by all the ele-
ments which, combined make up the lof-
tiest portrayal of this Shakespearean crea-
