ITALIAN HANDS,.
How They Seek to Work the Dele
gates TO Evanston.
Was That Special Bogus 7--The
Why and Wherefore.

That was a very thin dodge in the
Sun of to-day, said a prominent Rcpub-
lean Yesterday, to a LEADER reporter.
TO what do YOU refer" was asked.
Why, that bogus special dispatch
from Washington, stating that Captain
Thomas, of Missouri, had secured the
surveyor generalship of Wyoming Terri
tory"
is it not true, them
Not at all; that is, Thomas has not
been appointed, aud he has not been
promised the position by Mr.. Arthur.
The president would be in pretty business
To promise offices in advance. That isn't
Mr.. Arthur style of doing. You can
safely say that he hasn't promised that
position to anyone. Besides, the substance
of that dispatch was printed in the St
Louis Globe Democrat over two weeks
ago. 1t isn't new here by any means"
DO you know who are candidates for
the place.
Il know of a few: There is David,
the present incumbent; Medium, of Lar
annie City; Thomas. Of Missouri; Rothert,
of Iowa; Losch, of Pennsylvania; vii
liams, of New York; and Dobson, of Hi
nois.'
What was the object of the Suns
special o.
Give me something easy. You see
the Evanston convention to select dele
gates to Chicago is about to meet. David
and Medium are each anxious to capture
the delegates. Whichever is successful,
you see, will have the greater influence
with Mr.. Arthur. Now, the San, which
is Mediums organ, desires to divide the
delegates, if nothing better can be accom-
plished, to save Medium from a Water
loo. You know that Meldrum's forces
were routed, horse, foot and dragoon,'
last Wednesday night in Cheyenne. Can't
you see Warren's fine Italian hand in
the scheme? Observe the editorial COM
ment in the Sun ON the bogus special dis
patch. Why connect the two? Why
publish the special now, when it could
have been printed over two weeks ago =?
Why plead for harmony between David
and Medium? Don't you see that the
idea is to make both of these gentlemen
feel that another man has got the plum
they were poking in the pie for, and there
fore there should be no strife between
them? Then it follows that 'honors
should be easy, and one David man, and
one Medium man ought to go as delegates
to Chicago"
And, as the Republican departed, he
said Thus you see the difference be
tween tweedledum and tweedledee.

MIR. Warren Hears News.

No man who wants to know anything
about his private schemes, said Mr.. f.
f. Warren last evening, should do with
out Il daily paper. For instance, until |
picked up The LEADER yesterday morn
ing | never knew hat John Chase and
myself were scheming to have the post
Office removed to Sixteenth street. The
fact of the matter is that | never knew
before what rent was being paid for the
present quarters. OF one thing I'm
certain and that is that | would not rent
the store room adjoining the Inter Ocean
for twice the amount said to have been
offered me. If | keep on reading the
papers steadily IN probably hear a good
many other like schemes that | know
nothing of"

The debris of the late disastrous fire at
the +. +. Warren Mercantile company's
establishment has now entirely disap-
peared and the work of reconstruction
will be commenced at once 1t is the
intention to make the new building an
ornament to Sixteenth street. The first
floor will be fitted up for store purposes.
The upper floors will probably be secured
by John Chase and connected with the
Inter Ocean hotel, as the present facilities
are not sufficient for the amount of bust
ness done. This will provide a great
many additional rooms and give desir ed
accommodations for all the guests that
may arrive at the hotel except on extaor-
binary occasions.

Some days ago THE LEADER announced
that the Union Pacific stock yards were to
be enlarged, and that the ranch of Mr.. j..
Routson, u short distance from the city
and which is ON railroad land, would be
appropriated for hat purpose. After
wards the reporter was met by Mr.. Rout-
son, who was curious to know how he got
information, as he tRoutson) knew moth
ing of it, and he was of the opinion that
there was nothing in it. Imagine his sur
prise yesterday morning when the Union
Pacific stock yard authorities entered upon
and took possession of his premises and
informed him hat the land which he has
been occupying was at once to be sub
divided and cut up into yards. They
made a proposition to pay him for his i'm
provements, but he told The LEADER re-
porter yesterday that the sum offered was
not more than one half what the improve
ments are worth, Mr.. Routson has come
to the conclusion hal The LEADER. when
it makes a statement, generally knows
what it is talking about.

Some people were unnecessarily excited
yesterday by the announcement that u
tramp had assaulted a little girl in the
eastern portion of the city. There was
but very little to it except that the man
who was drunk, frightened the little girl
who set up a screaming, when he skipped
out. The officer a y there was no shoot
ing done, and neither was the little girl
thrown to the ground at all. He went
after the tramp thinking to run him in.
He caught the wrong man but let him 20,
which ended the matter.

A CARD FROM MR. E. C. HEGELER.

Mr.. E. c. Hegeler, of La Sale, who
has up to the previous time, always
been republican, addresses the follows
ing letter to the editor of the Dcmocratjc>
Press of his city, which shows that'all
manufacturers do not believe in prOtec>
ton. Mr. Hegeler employs over 1000
men in his zinc works at La Sale, and
not only controls the zinc markets of the
United States, but of the world Here is
what he says:
LA SALE, H., Oct. 3.-To the Editor:
In your paper on the I'd inst, you defend
me against what you consider misrepre
sentatior, viz. a declaration of mine that
was free trader by principle. have
made this declaration often and adhere to
the same views to day. hold it would be
best for our own and for any other coun-
try, if there were no tariffs at all and
trade between the several countries en-
tircly unrestricted, in the same manner as
it is now the case between the several
states of the union; and that the money
necessary for the support of the govern,
ment be raised by direct taxation of rea'
estate and a personal tax on individual
consumption, with due regard to the poor
and those supporting families or Others
besides themselves. As it is considered
impractiCable, however, to raise the neccs
sary means for the support of the genera
government by any other method than by
duties on imports, a revenue tariff will
have to remain, and it seems to me would
be most properly raised ad valorem on all
imports alike. As the present tariff taxes
produce more revenue than the general
government needs, the not needed part OF
such taxes ought to remain in the pockets
of the people and the tariff reduced fol
that object. How is the tariff to be re
duced is the question now. it being duty
to the country at large to reduce it. From
my standpoint as a zinc manufacturer
those tariff rates, which ad valorem are
higher than the tariff rate on zinc, should
be reduced first, to the same ad valorem
rate with zinc, and if such reduced
rates will produce more revenue vet than
needed, as they likely will, then the rates
on zinc will have to 90 down together
with the above mentioned already reduced
rates on other articles. / expect that
hereby the cost of living especially in re-
gard to wearing apparel will be reduced
The question whether a reduction of the
tariff on zinc will be followed by reduc-
ton of the wages of everybody engaged
in the mining and manufacture of zinc,
have to answer with, yes, to some extent
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-10-20

but with the addition that with the wages
then earned, provided the tariff be reduced
in the above described manner, we will be
able to buy ds much and live as well as
now. These, my views on the tariff ques-
ton, have, however nothing to do with
my desire to see Mr.. Cleveland elected
president, and with him the democratic
ticket now that the democratic party, in
Mr. Cleveland, works for the election of
leader who shows by his actions that he
is a true and energetic representative of
honest government and reform; and why
l should consider the election of Mr..
Blaine misfortune for our country. AS
to my reasons for this, refer to the argu-
ments of Mr.. Carl Schurz. who possesses
my fullest confidence. Respectfully yours,
EDWARD C. HEGELER.
