The Land League, at its regular Sunday
night meeting. listened to an address by
Messrs. P. j. Haggerty. G. j. Powers, M.
v. Gannon,T J. O'Brien and d. G. Shellay.
In condemnation of the crime, the follow
ing resolutions were presented by Mr..
Cannon and unanimously adopted:
Resol0ed. That as Irishmen snd Christians we
wish most distinctly to place ourselves upon record
upon religious, political and humanitarian grounds,
as utteraly opposed to assassination as means Of
political reform. The Davenport Land League de-
sire to repudiate III the most sincere manner the
late assassinations in Ireland, whether the work of
friend or foe.
RESOLVED, That believing Jim Ireland's grievances
and desiring their reform and are, willing to
labor, work and und sacrafice to reform them. but
wish it to be understood positively that murder, as
sassnation, or their encouragement t were not, nor
are not, part of our programme.
Resolgsd' That we are confident that it will be
found that Land Leaguers were not the assasins OF
Lord Frederick Cayendish and Mr.. Burke. but
whether they were not we equally emphat-
ic that il was not. nor is not, part of the Land
League programme to commit murder.
Resossed, That regard the murderers as enc
mics. no matter what name they may be called.
Resolaed That we are eroud of Parnell's work,
and stick to it despite the opposition of open foe
or secret enemy.

THE MINsTREL MoNARcHs.

Rarely is it that minstrel show receives
the.genuine ovation accorded to Barlow, VIII
son, Primrose s. West at Burtis Opera house
last night From the Introductory over
tire of first part to the dropping of the
curtain on the last act, the applause they
received was well merlted and
the merriment and laughter they
produced could not be repressed. The
singing of Howard was magnificent; the
impersonations of Barlow life-like; the
sketches of Wilson amusing; the dancing
well executed; ScLoolcraft and Goes were
irresistably funny in their sketches and in
fact, the entire performance was all that
could be wished for. Barlow, Wilson,
Primrose & West are always certain of a
grand reception in Davenport. They

The news of the assassination of Lord
Cavendish and Mr. Burke, in Dublin, Sat
urday, came like thunderbolt. Its horror
was deepened by its unexpectedness, and
SO far people have barely recovered from
the shock 1t is an event that will be big
with results, and results that may be dis
astrous.
The first question is, who did the deed2
and until that question is answered, all men
should withhold opinions adverse to Ire
land. 1t was not the Land League, that is
certain; and although The men who did it
may be Land Lesguers. yet the League it
self as responsible and representative
body, cannot be held for it. Assassina-
ton is not in the teachings or methods of
that organization, and outrages are not
their weapons of offense or defense.
The act was criminal in the furtherest
sense, who ever did it. If by loverof Ire,
land it Joined madness to the crime; If by
an enemy, diaholism.
It has been claimed. and claimed too
with show of reason, that it was the act
of men who were maddened by the con-
cessions Gladstone made to Ireland, and
who took this method of enraging Eng
land, and thus again putting Ireland under
coercion, and stamping out with the iron
heel of power, whatever little Of liberty aud

if called upon, make unpleasant revelations
about the share of Congressman in his bust
ness, that they promptly resolved that the
investigation should not include Congress
men,. Mr.. Belmont defeated this little
plan by introducing a resolution into the
House. against which no one dared to vote,
directing the Committee to enquire with
respect to all public officers. The fuss Mr.
Blaine and his partisans in the press have
been making about Mr.. Belmont's age is
Belmont is two years older than Mr.. Blaine
was when he entered the Maine Legisla-
ture and as old as Mr.. Blaine was
when elected Speaker of the Maine House,
and within one year as old as
Mr.. Blaine was when elected to Con-
gress. He has, moreover, in the estimation
of all who know anything of both, a much
better equipment of various kinds for the
same age, barring the readiness land au-
dacity which have ever since stood Mr..
Blaine in such good stead, but which have
been of so little use to this country. Mr..
which would in any court of justice have
brought stern rebuke on him for his inso-
lence and evasiveness, showed, however,
clearly enough that he needed to be ex-
amined by an older and more experienced
man. and by republican. That Mr.. Bel
mont was not such person was his mis-
fortune, not his fault; for, unquestionably,
if he had not taken the task upon himself,
Mr. Blaine would have left the Committee
room with his tongue in his cheek, after
making the little stump speech with which
he opened the proceedings. The kind of
tactics with which Mr.. Belmont had to
contend. and which really needed to be
met by an experienced lawyer, was shown
by the fact that Mr. Blaine used despatch
of December Is. written to Mr.. Prescott
after he had grown wise or fearful, to
fasten on Mr.. Belmont charge of wilful
misconstruction, the latter having had in
his mind and having quoted despatch of
the previous August 4, in which the Ian
dreau claim was in the most peremptory
fashion made United States lien on the
Peruvian guano beds. With the question
whether he had not in that despatch used
1.-THE power of the United States" to sup
port the claim, Mr. Blaine fenced in a
which court of law would have
dealt with summarily, by denying that he
had sent down a ship of war, and by
jokes over it for the amusement
Of the crowd

republicans as Carl Schurz,

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

uhe Davenport Electric Light Company
filed articles of Incorporation with Recorder
LeClaire yesterday. They asked. at the
last meeting of the council. permission to
erect poles and lines on the streets and al
leys of the city. The matter was referred
to the committee on public grounds and
buildings, and no doubt favorable report
will be made.
The incorporators are James Thompson,
w. ii. Decker. I'll. III. Matloek, d. I'll. Hart
well, A. +. Cutter. j. G. Ennis, and C. s.
Durfee. The capital stock is placed at
$50. 900. divided into shares of 800. The
articles of incorporation state that the com
pany is organized for the purpose of car
rying on the business of producing, furnish
ing, renting, selling. maintaining and OPP
Grating electric lights, and electrical pow

The company is composed of some of
Davenport's best known citizens, and ere
long the electric light will make brilliant
display in Davenport.

OUR HARBOR.

There was six thousand dollars appro-
priated a year ago last winter for the i'm
provement of the Rock Island Harbor,
which has not been spent. The money is
here lying idle and it is time it was put to
use. The present stage of water has made
it almost impossible for steamboats, to land
at this point, and unless some Improvement
is at once made in oar harbor we must ex-
pect trouble in shipping by river. As the
case stands now, it is next to an impossi
bility for boat to land at the Diamond
Joe landing; it took the Mary Norton two
hours almost to effect landing there Sun
day, and then freight was loaded and I'M
loaded only through two sets of staging.
The trouble all along the levee is that there
is so much stone at nearly level that
when the water gets anyways high steam
er can not get near enough to the shore to
load and unload. At the ferry landing
there is trouble, and at the Northern Line
boats have had trouble for some time, often
being compelled to come so far down
stream as to often shut off the ferry boat.
It is impossible for the boats wanting coal
to now get up to the coal yards; and a boat
drawing over four four feet of wateris now
practically debarred from landing
at Rock Island. At a low
stage of water the sand-bar that stretches
from the end Of the island is another OBJ
struction navigation. Steamboat Cap
tains and river men all report that our har-
Dor is in the worst condition of any on
the river, and needs Improvement the most
urgently. Hence arises the necessity of
work. and the work necessary can best be
done at the present stage of water As be-
fore stated, there is now in the hands of
the River Improvement Commission six
thousand dollars that was specially appro
priated for this work. This money would
be sufficient to put the harbor in proper
shape; and no reason can be given why it
should not be used. Tho money is here,
the necessity for using it is here, and the
time has come when the work should be
done. Rock Island, shipping as il does,
more freight than any city in this vicinity,
certainly has right to a good and suitable
harbor, and as there can be no trouble
about the money necessary, no reason is
evident why the work should be delayed

THE EFFECT OF IT.

What the political effect of the recent as
| sassination of Lord Cavendish and Mr.
Burke will be cannot now be told, there
are too many contingencies TO enter, first
of which is the identity of the criminals
The ARGUS pointed out two days ago the
dangers that beset Glalstone's path in his
| new policy, and the possible event that
with Forster's fierce opposition he might
fail of enough support to sustain him in
that policy. This danger has undoubtedly
been increased by the late event, as it viii
give Forster whip with which to drive
from Gladstones ranks many hesitating
members. Again, Lord Cavendish is
brother of the Marquis of Harrington, who
was offered the premiership after the res
ignation of Beaconsfield, and declined it,
He is a leading liberal and his support is
necessary if Gladstone hopes to obtain
enough support. His support was un-
doubtedly promised before. and the APP
pointment of Lord Cavendish was undoubt-
eddy the result of bargain with Glad
stone, whereby that support was assured.
the light of late events, with desire to
avenge his brothers death present in his
mind is to say the least predetermined;
and If he forsakes Gladstone he will carry
with him the influence of great family
His brother is Duke, and he and his father
have in their possession the control of
about forty seats. The entire family
has been on the liberal side, and
their detection would be a death blow
Gladstone's path is hardly beset, and will
be no easy one totravel: the antagonism a.
gainst his new policy is intense and this late
crime will be used to the furtherest extrem-
ity.
The killing of Lord Cavendish can best
be regarded not as an attack on the gov
but as crime against Ireland
and her best interests
These forebodings may be gloomy and
do look on the dark side rather
than the bright side. There is present one
ray of light and that is, in the first place
that Gladstone can hold his own and sec
ondly that the murderers of Lord Caven-
dish will prove to be what many people |
think, paid assassins of the landlord party, |
that did the deed through a desire to ere
ate an intensity of English feeling against
cancellation toward Ireland. Should this
prove to be the case there would be revuf-
ZION of sentiment that would in moment
strike the irons off Ireland's captive body.
