THE ARGUS.

The question has been asked why the
ARGUS did not enlarge its size when it
changed to morning issue. The reason
is that the ARGUS aims to be solely news
paper. All it desires to do is to give the
news. That it does, and to-day prints
more news and legitimate reading matter
than any paper in the three cities. The
others are larger, but their extra space is
simply to enable them to have room for
more advertisements. The ARGUS pub
fishes but few advertisements. This is
what makes advertising space in the ARGUS
so valuable. 1t prints but few and they
are all read. Besides that, the ARGUS is
read by more people than any paper in the
three cities. It has a larger circulation.
On that account is its space the more valua-
BILE. When the time comes the ARGUS will
enlarge. 1t will not enlarge, however, for
the sake of advertisements, but to admit
more reading matter, more news. 1t will
grow steadily, aed will always do as it does
now, give to its readers the best paper
they can get.
Furthermore, it viii continue its special
feature of gathering news from Moline and
Davenport as well as Rock Island. Thus
its readers are all to know each morning
what has happened in the three cities the
day and night before. The ARGUS believes
that by this course the three cities will be
brought nearer together, and their interests
helped. The ARGUS win not enlarge now
because it can give all the news in its pres
ent size. 1t is the only paper in the three
cities that does But it believes the time
will soon come when it will be forced to
enlarge. Let that time come soon.

PERHAPS A MISTAKE.

That the republican Legislature, in their
caucus bill to gerrymander the state, were
in their intention of making the next leg
islature republican, and loyal to. their
party bosses in their hard struggle in pass
ing the BILL cannot for moment be doubt
ed. They had the best intention in the
world to secure the election of straight
republican legislature, but now the ghostly
thought arises, perhaps they made. a mis-
take. They were so anxious to make
sure that they have spread out their ma
jority over so much territory, that the
democrats have much the best chance of
electing their candidates
The off year in politics is always bad
one for the republicans, as their voters do
not turn out, while the democracy come up
to the polls without regard to weather or
anything else. The next general assembly,
it is claimed, will stand as follows:

his integrity and honor. The time has
gone by when it was popular superstition
that il was only skillful halter and tailor
that hid democrats horns and tail and
the cloven feet were hid in extra large
sized boots. It has begun to be recognized
that man can be democrat and yet be
honest, a republican and a thief; that poll
tical affiliations do not regulate mems char
aeter and especially in matters of Judge
ship party principles have nothing to do
with fitness. Judge Craig has proved
himself an eminently proper man for the
position; why not return him2

LANNON'S MADNESS.

Lamson, the American lately hung in
England left behind him an elaborate ac-
count of his experience of the mental and
the long-continued use of morphia an d
atropia. Lamson in his communication
says: II did not use the first drug alone
but in combination with the latter, not, as
has been supposed, to counteract the con
tracing effect of nofphia upon the pupils
of the eye, but because it not only enhanced
the effects of morphia as a sedative. ano-
dyne and narcotic, but also because it
quite or quite. nearly eyercame. the. sick
ness caused by the morphia. The habit
became formed from its having been first
injected hypodermically by colleague to
relieve pain. then took it myself, having
considerable work TO attend to, and an
order to brace myself for my professional
duties when in pain. After short time it
became absolutely necessary to repeat the
injections more frequently not only for
the pain but to Iull the nervous and gem
eral physical irritability, which
often amounted to actual pain of
a heavy rheumatic character. In
the head and limbs principally,
which occurred when the general effects
had nearly or quite disappeared. Of
course, very soon the doses had to be
larger, and it required surprisingly large
amount to produce sleep, Or even serious
drowsiness. Usually the injection had to
be repeated within three-quarters of an
hour to do this, and when the sleep was Of
very short duration, and after the habit

A DISTINCTION.

The republican Bosses of the Fifth judi
cial district are trying to whip the republi
can voters into line on the cry that Nc
Cullough is the republican candidate and
they must vote for principles not men. In
the abstract that cry is perhaps a good
one, but in the choosing of judges there is
no principle involved except the choosing
of the best man. The executive, as legis-
lative officer, is chosen by party to rep
resent party principles. but a judge need
be of no party, there is no party principle
to advocate, and the man is the only con
sideration

The Snakes Ability to Charm.

A veritable instance of the peculiar
fascination which the snake exerts was
witnessed few days ago, within short
distance of our city. The gentleman
who saw this says he was walking leis-
urely along the road when his attention
was directed to the movements of a
brown thrush which was fitting about
near a small plum bush, and at inter-
walls giving cry, as of distress. He
walked up to the bush supposing he
would find brood of young birds. He
looked carefully. but saw nothing. and
was walking of, when he noticed that
the thrush had returned to the bush
from which he had frightened it. He
waited a moment to watch its move
ments, when he saw it fly down on the
ground beneath the plum. There it
stood still a short while, then began to
circle around the bush. still crying in
Its peculiar tones. This circling was
kept up for while, and then the thrush
seemed gradually to weaken and at
length stood perfectly still-immovable,
with its wings partly open, and with its
head bent forward. He drew nearer to
the bush, when he heard an ominous
hiss, and, looking down under the plum,
he saw large black snake coiied up
and about to spring upon the bird. He
frightened the snake away and picked
up the bird, which made no effort to es-
cape. and seemed powerless. In few
minutes, however, the bird revived, and
shortly afterward few away.-Peters-

Fixing His Horse to Win.


The writer met the jockey of Ruther-

In st: petersburg, a short time after
that huge sporting wrangle, and, in the
course OF a conversation on turf mat
tiers, the astute prodder of horse-iesh

smile, as he passed the beans: would

didn't you?' we asked.
mot bit of it." replied the Jockey,
with a grin. 1.-The fact was, that
Rutherford was only about the fourth
choice, and was not rated at more than
eighth or ninth in the pools. True
Blue, Katie Peace and Thad Stevens all
had the call over Ruthy. But it hap
pened that my horse was a sbolter,'
and to steady him and prevent his fly
ing the track put binders and Cog
giles on him. You noticed them, sup

There were two horses rugged that
way" we replied. -
Exactly; Stevens was a nervous
crltter, also, and as soon as his trainer
saw how the goggles steadied my horse
he put EN- on Thad, too. The day be-
foSe the race big idea occurred to me-

lenses and quietly put 'em in place of
the plain glasses in the goggles of both
horses. Catch on to the ideap'

with the bulge inside, so as to make
them diminishing glasses. Don't you

end of an opera-glass, eh?" EXACT
ly; the result was that, while Ruther-
ford was encouraged all the way by the
course seeming only couple of hun

and swung into the home stretch, and

he thought the Judges stand was right
under his nose, so he came home like
an express on a down grade, but

teen miles further to go, went all to

Bounced.

A practical case of paternal interfer-
ence in a love affair occurred in tony
neighborhOod, says Louisville paper,
between ten and eleven o'clock last
night. The names are positively I'M
mentionable, but the facts are herewith
presented in full: A certain masher has
for some time been insisting upon being
employed as the son-in-law of certain
well-known gentleman, who has per-
sistently refused to appreciate the young
mans desires. The girl in the case
thought differently from her father, and
continued to encourage her lovers
hopes, and frequently received visits
from him clandestinely. Friday night
he came once too often for the usual
blissful adieu. The old man had not re-
tired, as supposed by the lovers, who
were located on the front steps. and,
happening to look from an open win
dow, he espied the young man with his
arms around his daughters waist, in
the act of kissing her. He forthwith re-
solved to take time by the forelock and
bring matters to crisis. Passing out
through the rear of the house and yard,
he came around and suddenly confront
ed his unwelcome visitor. He caught
him by the front lock and by the rear
as well, before the thing was over. He
seized him by his exquisite goatee and
mustache, and, holding him at arm S
length, went for him like an Infatuated
Scotch terrier in dog fight. and ever
lastingly disrupted the exquisite young
mans foundation for a photograph, I'M
til his daughter tainted with fright, and
the mother came screaming into the
yard in her night clothes. She succeed
ed in pulling the governor off the visit
ing gent, but the former broke away
from her and finished the reception by
kicking the masher clear out of the ward
into the middle of the street. Owing to
the lateness of the hour. the governor
succeeded in summarily dismissing the
young man without rousing the entire
neighborhood, or the commotion getting
to the ears of the police, in which event
the names of the parties could not, as
now, be suppressed, but would come out
in spite of all efforts to the contrary.
They may do SO yet by way of suit for
damages.
