One of the hardest fought political bat
ties in the history of Rock Island has
ended, leaving the usual array of defeated
candidates but fewer wounds than usual.
Neve, before. the ANGUS ventures to say,
has municipal campaign been conducted
upon amore elevated plane, where bitter
personalities were The exception rather
than tAe rule and it is to be hoped that
this may be the plan of political warfare
hereafter Nothing is gained by the use
ofabusive or grossly offensive epithets:
on the contrary such a course of proce-
.dure almost invariably reacts upon the
individual or political party adopting it.
Tie ARGUS contends that the familiar
quotation of ssaI1's fair in war has almost
uniformly been most grossly perverted
and made, like charity, to cover a multi
tude of sins. Let us hope, then, that a
better day is dawning in politics, at all
events for this section of the country

4AFhen this proves just what say, said
the man who had translated the German
"A Mr.. Kircher, the proprietor OF works
in New Orleans in which good deal OF
sulphur is used, wrote this TO periodical
In Germany" He says that some OF his
men who were suffering with consumpt-
ion when they came to his works were
cured. Amy one he says who is afflicted
can cure himself by simply taking one or
two drains of sulphur, burning it and in
haling the vapor.'
1t was decided that the vapor of burn
inc sulphur was efflcacious for the cure
of catarrh and consumption.

Two citizens of Williamsburg referred
q dispute about the efficacy of the vapor
of burning sulphur in catarrhal affections
to the police of the Flushing Avenue
Station for decision. Near the police
station are large sulphur works. and the
one who held that the vapor was efiicac
ious had been unwilling to ask the opin-

the police could and would give more
valuable oplnion-one not based on the

FIFTH WARD
In this ward 1873 votes had been polled
against upward of 800 last fall Tickets
of every name and nature covered the
tables, straight being generally looked
upon as "a curiosity. Mr.. Larkin was
making splendid run and Mr. Motifs
prospects were decidedly bright, as were
Mr.. Aster's. The National vote was badly
split up for mayor with Mr. Atkinson
orally admitted that Mr.. Mott was holding
his own superbly. In the
SIXTH WARD
only 126 votes had been reported against
$40 at the last election. Messrs Mott,
Atkinson, Aster and McKibben were all
running we'll BIr Atkinson was
drawing more or less heavily on Mr..
Carse but it was the opinion of almost
everybody that Mr. Mott would be the
winner of the race.
SEVENTH WARD.
In this ward 140 votes had been record
ed, lacking about 80 of the vote last fall
So far as the mayoralty was concerned
it was conceded that Mr.. Carse
had fallen considerably behind 1t was
refreshing to find the opposing candi-
dates for aldermen, both excellent men
commanding the utmost respect of their
neighbors in neighborly converse over
the situation. Mr. Kerr was quite hope
full, despite the fact that the Augustana
college vote was cast solidly for his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Sinnet, while AR Sinnct had
boen told that several votes on which he
counted had been cast for Mr. Kerr. A
pretty even thing between Messrs. Mott
and Carse, with the probabilities favoring
the former. Johnston for collector was
being distanced by McKibben.
REVIEW
The ARGUS ia summing up its obser-
vations, feels that it Is wholly within
bounds to state that the general feeling
throughout the city, in spite of the light
vote which had been polled, was that Mr.
James z. Mott would be our next mayor
Said well known Sixth ward republican
worker: Mott will be the man, Carse
ought not to have run under the clrcum-
stances; he merely invited defeat Where
ever Alderman Mott went he was received
with the most kindly expressions
by the workers OF all parties,
the republican official workers
in the Fourth ward privately admitting
to the ARGUS man their belief that Mr.
Mott would be the winner by ma
jority beyond cavil. We have a right,
therefore, to feel somewhat elated over
the probable result of to days gallant
work feeling sure that our republican
friends who supported Mr. Mott at the
polls win never have cause to regret it.
Three cheers for Mayor Mott.
