Mr.. Gladstnna's Trae-rellinv.

/ see that Mr.. Gladstone was troubled
recently with lumbago, owing 10 having
caught cold when telling tree on wet
day. His family really ought to inter
fere to prevent his exposing himself to
such very useless risks. He is 20 years
old. A man of that age may be strong
and hearty, but his constitution cannot
be what it was, and does not throw of
easily any ailment. II is customary to
protest against Mr.. Gladstone oyerwork
ING himself in the House of Commons.
1 doubt whether it does him any harm
to sit there as many hours as he pleases;
and that to sit there many hours does
please him is unquestionable, for, so fan
as the business of the House is con-
cerned, he might be there half the time
that he is; while, if he would assume the
deus e1 mdchind, after the habit of Mr..
Disraeli, and only interfere with a QuOs
ego, instead of allowing himself to be
drawn into speech half dozen times
in an evening, matters would go good
deal smoother than they do. But fell
ing trees in wet weather at Hawarden
is very different thing TO talking in q
warm chamber in London, and Mr..
Gladstone's life is far too valuable fol
him to be allowed to play pranks. Let
him leave the trees alone and apply the
axe TO abuses Amy woodman can proba-
bly, cut down tree ut least as well as
he can, while no statesman can ply the
axe so effectively in the jungle of abuses.

MANLY DEGLINATIoN.

Our opponents, failing to make any
headway against our city ticket, have re-
sorted to the desperate tactics of creating
schism in several o. the wards, hoBina
by encouraging democratic family quarrels
to run their own men into office. Especi
ally was this true of the First ward where
they fondly hoped to use Alderman La
frenZ as their plant tool for the consum
nation of great outrage Fortunately
Mr. LafrenZ has seen through the schemes
of the tricksters and in the following
manly letter declines to be party to any
republican scheme to cut the throat of so
excellent a man and democrat as Mr.
Stengel. Alderman Lafrenz has made a
most excellent record as an alderman and
one of these days he may expect to be
still farther rewarded by a party which
appreciates his services. Here is the
letter:
Rock ISLAND, Ill. Marcel %. 1888
To the Editor of the Argus.
Many friends of mine of all parties hav-
ing requested me to run as an independ-
ent candidate for alderman in the First
ward, return them thanks for their con-
fidence and the compliment paid me; but
/ decline being a candidate against the
regular democratic nominee, Mr.. Stengel
and shall support him to my best ability
and desire my friends to co the same.

THE LuMHERMEN.

The Lumbermen's Exchange held a
short session at their board room in Chi
cago. yesterday. and accepted the report
of committee appointed to inquire into
the 800 license question. The committee
said it was better to submit to the inev-
liable and pay the money, although they
questioned the justice of the assessment,
and thought it was done in retaliation
for the lumbcrmen supporting higher
saloon license At the conclusion of the
meeting of the Lumbermen's Exchange the
Chicago lumber-dealers held a meeting,
with A. G. Soper in the chair. The ques-
ton of monthly price.list was discussed
quite warmly, not between the Drills and
bears, but between those who maintained
it and those who, it is alleged, sold under
it. 1t was finally arranged that a COM
mistee consisting of A. A. Carpenter. T..
W. Harvey, w. j. Neebs, 8. z. Martin
d. 8. Pate, be appointed 20 inquire into
the subject, and ascertain the value of
lumber and report to special meeting of
the dealers, to be held at the exchange on
Thursday morning next, when price-list
would be made for April, which was ex-
pected all the dealers would stick to.

EXGEssIvE SMOKING.

At yesterdays examination into the
case of John Meyer before Judge Adams
and jury, it was shown by several wit
nesses that Mr.. Meyer was constant
smoker of quality of tobacco which was
strong enoagh todrive dog out OF Il tan
yard. In the words of one of the German
witnesses, big. stout man weighing
over two hundred pounds I've tried it
an it make my belly ache like tunder."
Mr.. Meyer smoked continuously. had been
troubled with dyspepsia, and if any man
ever had greater occasion for the belief
that there was "a ghost spook" playing at
hide and seek in his stomach the ARGUS
has not been made acquainted with the
fact. 1t Is probable, therefore, that
short incarceration at Jacksonville and
the consequent partial deprivation of the.
use of his foul pipe. will work great i'm
provement in his condition.
