Then addressed the meeting. He approved
of the remarks of the previous speakers
The bill was simply as Mr.. Gest had said, an
act in aid of the Ferry company. If
the government were to levy toll on all
passengers across the bridge it would
raise more than fifty thousand dollars a
year, and the free government of the
United States would go into the bridge toll
business. The balance of trade between
these two cities was in favor of Rock
Island, and it would not inure to the ben

DISSATISFACTION.

The Port Byron Globe prints the follow
ing anent the republican troubles in this
county. It viii be remembered that this
paper was backing Eckhardt for the posi-
ton of sheriff The article is subJoined:
There is considerable dissatisfaction
manifested by republicans of the rural
districts over the manner of manipulating
the last county convention by the Moline
and Rock Island delegates, many hereto
fore staunch republicans talking right
out in meeting" that they will not vote for
some of the candidates nominated. Not
withstanding the fact that discomfort ex-
lists throughout the county, outside of the
cities, every indication points to the con-
clusion that it is now the intention of Me-
line and Rock Island to control the con-
gressional and senatorial convention in
the interests of the ring-or whatever
you may be pleased to call it
and ignore the wishes or desires of the re-
publicans in the lower and upper end. 1t
is very evident that the stalwarts of these
two cities have pooled their issues but it
remains to be seen whether they win sue
coed or not. 1t is noticeable that among
the names signed to the Ainsworth request
not one appears who is a member of the
Rock Island Republican Lincoln Club.
These independent clubs will be formed all
over the country before the campaign ends
and. the present indications are that bossism
in Rock Island county win be a thing of
the past. Let the republicans in the rural
townships see to it that delegates are chos-
en- for the next convention who will stand
firm against the combination of Moline and
Rock Island and that no packed conven-
ton shall dictate who shall be candidates
or who shall not. Choose delegates of
known integrity, who cannot be manipu-
lated by the ring, and all will be well,
otherwise there is danger of a serious
break in the republican ranks

then spoke in substance as fellows: He
read the toll bridge bill. Every citizen of
the town knew that the bridge had
been free and was acquainted with its his
tory The bridge belonged to the county
and was for the benefit of the citizens
thereof. The face of the bill was to pro-
vide the necessary funds for repairs, but
the text was different. 1t would seem to
be small business for the government to
levy toll on the people passing over the
bridge. That was the ostensible object
of the bill but the real object was to pass
the bin for the benefit of a single corpora
ton. That corporation had had the ex
elusive privilege of doing ferry business
since 1871. The bill proposed to raise
$4,000 for the support of the
bridge but the real reason was
that the Ferry company desired higher
rates, and more business. The talk about
the business men of this town being in
favor of toll bridge, was not correct.
Rock Island might as well build a Chinese
wall around the town and charge ten cents
for every person who enters Laboring
men walked over this bridge in order to
save money for their families but the
bridge toll bill proposed to force these
men to put their money into the well
filed Golfers of the Ferry company. 1t
ought to be entitled, IN act for The benefit
Of the Rock Island Ferry Company.

CHANGE IN COOKING AT THE SoUTu.-
An old mau said to inc to-day "Do you
know that it is the rarest thing to find
good co'k in the Southern family? Before
the war the Southern people had the best
cooking in the world, now we have the
poorest. This is the reason In the slave
days every Southern lady was an accom-
plished housewife. She selected servant
who was to he th, cook and trained her her
self. She supervised, instructed, aud ad-
vised until the cook had become perfect
and was Installed as cook for life In train.
lug their cooks mothers trained their daugh:
ters. Ii the slightest thing went wrong
in the kitchen either mother or daughter
could ut once detect and correct it. Hence
we had cooking that was famous the world
over. Why, in those days, if had been
called on to supply Que article by which
alone the South could demonstrate its supe-
riori,y, should have selected the old
Southern waffle. think it Was of rather
/
The waffle is now only memory. It per-
ished at Appomatox.
"Since the war Southern women arc nc
longer cooks. Having to deal with casual
servants, there. is no longer any temptation
to train servant as a cook. TIE moment
she becomes proficient she is apt to leave
you. Hence, our housewives have lost their
ambition They pick up whatever servants
come htndiest and take their chances
There is really all the more reason than
ever they should understand cooking. The
schools, too, are against Us. They teach
music, French, German, painting and dan .
ing, and have no time for the useful arts.
