The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-05-29

Nav YORK, May 2s.-J'he = says: New
Jersey elects a governor thu We al
ready see the premonitory symptoms among
aspiring politicians of both parties. MIR. Lud-
low has been prudent respectable governor
but he is out of the race because the consti-
ton does not permit the Office to be held two
consecutive terms by one man.
As vet the Democrats are rather at sea about
the next candidate. The southern counties of
the state will claim the candidate, for it is
long while since they had governor. TAX
ing advantage of this sentiment, some foolish
friends of Secor Robson are pushing him for
the Republican nomination. Ii he runs there
will be another tidal wave in November
which Will sweep New Jersey clean of all
traces of Robesonism.
The only hope of the Republicans is to
fo,nent Discussions among Democrats ON the
tariff New Jersey is largely engaged in
and inclines to the protective
policy There are some advocates of the
theory of free trade in the Democratic
party, and it contains some extreme protec
tionists But the great body of the semocrats
in the state are i'm favor of giving the new tariff
fair trial, and ara opposed to reopening
the question at the next session of congress.
They follow the lead of The Sun on this sub
ioct and will not be apt to get up a quarrel
among themselves to please the Republicans.
In any event New Jersey viii go Demo
cratic this year If the Republicans should
venture to nominate Secor Robson for gov
e1nor the Democratic majority would be
overwhelming.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The Tribune says:
How would Alexander Ramsey, of Minnesota,
do for president: He never touched any
thing but good luck came TO it. He is sixty
eight years old hale as a brick, is of the
Scotch-Irish crossed with the Pennsylvania
Dutch stock, can speak the German patois of
Pennsylvania as well as English, has been in
public life since the time the public schools
were opened in Pennsylvania in Andrew
JacLson's administration. and was in congress
from that state forty years ago and managed
the state campaign there for Zachary Taylor.
This president made hun the first governor
of the territory of Minnesota, to which state
he stands like George Clinton to New York,
General Harrison to Indiana, and Lewis Cas-
to Michigan, the creator. Its metropolitan
county is named for him, and that dual
headed metropolis now has 11500 urban
people He is the most distinguished citizen
Minnesota has ever had, is one of the
wealthiest, and his stomach is as hard as his

THE IRON WORKERS
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 2S-The situation Of
affairs between the iron manufacturers and

1t Is generally believeda prolonged Suspension
is inevitable. Thursday next viii witness the
expiration of the time for executing the
scale, and work will then be stopped
in all the mills which up to that
time have not signed the new
scale. The steel mills will continue in opera
ton, il is generally understood, and it is CON
ceded also that few iron mills will sign the
scale. With these exceptions, however, the
prospects are that the iron mills of this region
and west of here win shut on Friday next, to
continue closed for an indefinite period

he gave twelve, being encored at the end
of each one. Miss Ella Munson of this

Miss MunsoH is an am ateur singer of ex

HAGEMAN HANGS HIMSELF

Moline is gaining an unenviable repu
tation in the matter of suicide and scan
dals, and we will put the Plow city against
any other town of its size in the state for
sensations alluded to above. The lates
unfortunate who sought repose in death
by his own hand John Hageman, a
Swede well known in Moline, having re
sided in this city for years. He used
means employed were nothing new but
the ingenuity displayed was something
wonderful considering the fact that Hage
man was intoxicated as late as 8 o'clock
last evening. Why the mode looks in
genious was from the fact that the knot
of the rope was most artistically tied to
beam in cow shed near the house in
which his family lived. How drunken
man could have tied such a
knot seems queer indeed. Mr..
Hageman's family lives in one of
the new hauses on the Water Power Cots
land near the dividing line of Moline and
Rock Island For some time past Mr..
Hageman has not been living with his
family for the simple reason that he did
not contribute totheir support. and was in
toxicated the most of the time. Yesterday
he was in his usual condition, and about

s o'clock in the evening came to his wife's
house in company with friend Being
so drunk, his wife refused him admittance.
That was the last seen of him until this
morning. when one of the boarders at
Mrs. Hageman's went out to the barn and
found him hanging to beam with his
feet on the floor. The body was frozen
stiff Coroner Halves was notified, and
impaneled a jury, consisting of Marshal
Henderson, foreman. Joe r. Harricks,
Frank Harwood, Alderman Lurdquist,
Alfred Celene end E. johnson. The Jury
exa mined the body, and in the absence of
important witnesses adjourned the
inquest until o'clock this afternoon,
at Magistrate Mapes' Office. The circum-
stances of the supposed suicide are
peculiar resulting from the fact that the
man was so intoxicated and it seems very
strange that he should have been able in
that condition to tie such a strong knot.
Not having any place to swing himself off
from he must have strangled to death. Mr.
Hageman left n note to his wife which
was louHd on MS person ana contained
the following Goodbye Mamma,
have some clothes and money at Eng
stroms." He was boarding at the latter
gentleman's house. Hageman's name was
on the black list and where he got his
liquor yesterday is query. There is one
thing certain that he was of no use to his
family, liquor having obtained the
mastery over him and his death must he

leaves wife and six children. Under

and the funeral will probably take place
to morrow, and thus another poor mortal
