Will Jollify Again.

While the democrats of many cities
have quietly settled down to every day
life, those of Freeport are still sending
hosannas to heaven and carmining the cir
cumambient atmosphere. Hardly has the
frescoing of wild and wierd night of re-
ioicing been covered by the white frost of
winter, before the tocsins are again
sounded, and word is sent forth that the
good work is not yet finished. The pro
clamation states that tomorrow night will
be the final call and every democrat in
the city is expected TO turn out in full
force, and no doubt he will. Enthusiasm
stands out on Frceport democrat like
sweat on pitcher Of ice water, but the
cold weather won't give it such chance
to 0oze as it did two weeks ago. Never>
theless the heavens will be illuminated
with redncss, and the sulphurous air
laden with unbounded revelry.

Flrpmeu on Rollers.

The walking match craze which passed
over this country five or six years ago,
and in which clerks, firemen, and many
other classes INDUCED, has passed away
and been succeeded by the roller skating
craze. No more are two or more ama>
teur pedestrians to be seen walking
around ring putting and blowing like
steam engines to see who could walk ten
miles the quickest and become the lion of
the day. But in their stead are to be seen
youths gliding around on roller skates
with the same view that spurred the Pc
destrians on, The firemen of Moline have
been having a great deal of sport of late.
Some one conceived the idea of having a
champion fireman roller skate. There
are four or five companies in the city, and
four of the best skaters were picked and
races arranged. Two companies were
pittcd against each other, and the winners
in the two races were next matched for
the championship of the city. The race
was skatcd last night in Wagner's opera
house, distance three miles. Nels Peter
son, the champion of the Union hose
company, won the race and champion
ship of the city from George Miles, the
champion of the Deancs, in 13:49 Miles
time was 14:10 Now some Rock Island
fireman should challenge Peterson for the
championship of the two cities.

As Others See it.

The Davenport Democrat, which ever
has and will continue to deal sturdy
blows in the interest of the Hennepin
canal and the street railway across the
bridge, in speaking of the effective work
of the ARGUS in the same direction and
the reelection of the Hon. William II.
Ncecc to congress says:
The strength of the davenport and
Rock Island railway project, which has
been so vigorously opposed by certain
clique in Rock Island, was pretty fully
tested IN that city on election day. There
had been great efforts to create the i'm
preston that the feeling of opposition to
the enterprise was about universal in tie
city and county, and Congressman Niece,
who voted for the Murphy bill, which
granted permission for the operating of
| the line across the government bridges
and island, would suffer in the loss of
votes because of his support of the
measure. Even prominent democrats,
who were in the clique, den ounced Mr..
Niece and declared lie could not be re
elected unless he promised to use his
influence against the passage of the bill in
the senate. The ARGUS stoodu for the en-
terprisc as one in the interests of the peo-
pie, ard called upon the people, to uphold
Ncece for his conduct
And Rock Island city and county did
uphold Mr.. Necce-hc ran ahead of his
ticket by nearly 500 votes. While Ogles-
by carried the city and county by nearly
900 votes, Petrie, republican candidate
for congress, received but 2O1 majority.
1t went through Rock Island that Petrie
was opposed to the railway, and the re
suit was a loss Of votes sufficient to elect
him to congress- for Mr.. Neeces plurali-
ty in the district is 427-reelected be
cause of his faithfulncss to the best inter-
ests of his constituents in Rock Island
| city and county. This shows how much
the opposition TO the measure amounts to
great cry ana little wool"
And then the Dcnocrdt endorses our
remarks published in last Fridays issue,
relative TO the Importance of more inter-
est being taken in the projects, and pub
| fishes them in full

CoRD0yA, Nov. %.
The celebration and jubilee over the
democratic victory held in this place on
Friday evening last was perfect success.
Good humor prevailed throughout the
jubilee. There were large numbers on
the street, and all parties appeared to be
well pleased. Soon after dark the illus
mination commenced. W d. Webster
illuminated his store and private residence
in most tasteful and becoming manner.
The residence of Frank J Drexel, c. 3.
Marshall, Homer Metzgar. J. v Bailey,
Thomas Howard, and c. B. Fisk were
illuminated in fine style The Marshall
house and the hotel of J Cool, Jr, We're
decorated in a handsome manner as were
also numerous other dwellings.
The procession was headed by the Port
Byron cornet band, and the music ren>
dered was equal TO the best Of our best
band. Halls drum corps was also on
hand. NJ. NJ Corbett, Esq, J. 3. Van
deburg and c. 3. Marshall delivered ad-
dresses in front of w. D. Webster's store,
and were listened to with wrapt atten>
ton. Taken all in all it was a genuine
success, and shows that the spirit of
progress and reform still lives, and that
democracy can have jubilee over vic>
tory without insulting their opponents.

a march on their friends on Saturday
and were married by the Rev. W. S. Mar

that they are INDUCED in in the cities, I'M

Tho Planters Wife .

On Friday night we are to have The
Planters Wife" at Harper's theatre by the
Harry Lacey company. Many Rock ISL
anders will remember the occasion about
four years ago, when Charlotte Thomp-
son, that sterling actress, was here with
''The Planters Wife" She was under
the management of W. Tillotson. She
played the piece here two nights and q
matinee, but the second night she tainted
twice behind the scenes, and at the mat
inee she tainted. The actress was i'll, and
played her part in such spiritless way
that The Planters Wife" was not much
admired here. Most of the critics had
something good to say for Charlotte
Thompson, and for Annie Adams, who
was the Angie Gordon, but none of them
could put prop under the play itself.
The story was interesting, the dialogue
bright, and the company strong, but the
production met with little favor. The
piece dragged along in desultory sort OF
way until Lacey took hold of it, when the
boom began. Everybody that went tC
see it was delighted, and today there is
moi play on the road that is giving bet
ter satisfaction than "The Planters
Wife" Those who miss seeing it next
Friday night will miss treat that will
not soon be offered them again.

The people begin to comprehend that
even IN 1876, no man dreamed of asking
for free trade as We now have IL. Sir
Robert Peel was quite confident that the
world would follow our example, and
upon that basis built bis arguments. Il
can scarcely be doubted that Sir Robert
Peel and Mr.. Cobdepeif they could see
rs az We now are. would counsel rs earu-
estiy to retrace our steps, and to take
just and moderate measures for the pro-
tection of native industries. The recon-
version Of Sir Robert Peel would not,
perhaps, be difficult, for the conversion
was sudden, and 10 was effected in a
moment of panic. Mr.. Golden might
hesitate little longer, for the League
or its friends subscribed for its private
purse frsm first to last about Goo, 900;
and incidents of that kind make it diff
ficult for man to change his point Of
view. The operatives of today, for
whom nothing is subscribed, approach
the subject with more unbiased minds.
They hear great deal of the progress
made by England under free trade; but
a thousand newspapers, books, and 9TH
er sources Of information make them
aware that the United States has made
II there is good argument on one side,
there is Just as good an argument ON the
other. Therefore they are still in doubt;
but when they come to lock at the con-
ditions under which they are required
to fight the rest Of the world they are no
longer in doubt. Everything of foreign
make may come into England duty free;
nothing of English make can go into
foreign markets without heavy duties.
The foreigner is free; the English work.
man is not. This injustice strikes home
deeper than 1t did. for the workman sees
foreign goods increasing in the shop
windows OF his own town. wherever
that may be, and he does mot like the
sight. He will like 1t less and less az
time goes on; for no one need suppose
that the weavers will succumb to "eco-
nomic laws" without murmur, They
will not emigrate, or find other work, y
or permit themselves to be erased"
The silk industries died-or all but died
and made no sign, bat the number of
persons engaged In them was COMPARE
lively small. When the great time of
trial comes for the cotton industries
come it will and must-there will be a
noise in England which will be heard all
over the world.
