The following questions, taken from
the Albany Argus, should be carefully
studied by every working man in Rock
Island
Has not the republican party controlled
the national administration for almost "a
years?
Has 1t not enacted all the laws during
that timer
Has it not executed the laws by men of
its choice?
Has the party brought prosperity to
you and your families?
Are you working for good wages all
the time?
Are there no mills closed?
Are wages not cut down?
Do you find living cheap, rent low
provisions abundant, and low price cloth
ing and other supplies down to cut in
pay?
How many days have you been idle
since last New Years.
Can you tell when work will be abund-
ant, wages good?
Are business affairs satisfactory to
you?
Did not the republican party make
business affairs what they are and as bad
as they are!
How much more are your wages to-day
than four years ago when this same re-
publican party promised You more pay
and more work if you would support its
| ticket?
Who has grown richer in the last four
years of republican policy, you or the
men who were rich then and now seek to
allure you with the same sort Of arguments
now?

RiotOus Brickmakers.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Several of the brick
yards in this city which have closed recently
on account of strike against reduction of
wages, started to work Tuesday morning
with non union workmen. Upon hearing of
this about 200 of the strikers collected about
the different yards and opened lively
fusilade Ct stones upon the workmen therein.
This was done at several yards, and
upon reaching Louis Blaneps yard
they bombarded his residence breaking win
dows, and creating havoc generally. Mrs.
Blanel was struck on the head by large
stone which injured her seriously. At this
point Mr. Blanel's son opened fire with a re-
volver, hurting no one, however, but the
strikers rapidly dispersed and took up their
march to Haines < Harlams yard. Here
they were met by posse of police who
stopped further proceedings The ringlead
ers are known and will be arrested.

cartoons ridiculing the Irish. One of
them, We remember, was pair of scales
with an Irishman on one side with a short
stem "dudsen" in his mouth, and on the

Although they are now counting the Irish
vote, the republicans have lost none of
their prejudices, as was illustrated in the
torchlight procession last night. The
"nigger" clubs were put in the advance
and the so called Irish club clear at the
tail of the procession. Ifthere were any

EDITORIAL TRIBULATIONs

One of the tribulations that often con-
front the editor of paper, more especial
lya country paper, is innocently caused
by those people who are anxious to help
him out by finding something that will
do to fill up his paper" says the Hoos-
Ter. These people all mean well, but they
labor under misconception of the edi>
tors needs, and are often offended when
they find that the clipping they took out
OF patent medicine almanac, or some
other publication, and kindly carried to
their favorite local paper for ''fillin, does
not appear. 1t is hard to convince peo-
pie that the editor is always able to WELD

Is at all times better judge of what mis-
cellaneous matter should be printed in
his sheet, as well as more competent to
decide and whether it has ever appeared
in the columns of the Journal over which
he presides. These things are provoking,
yet they are more easily disposed of than
ace the voluntary amateur contributions
that come in. A budding poet may be
kindly checked, and even an embryo hui
morist may be held aloof, but it is harder
to dispose of the sweet girl graduates

of age Little Katie Gill, of 1917 West
18th ST., Chicago, H., was stricken
down with sciatic rheumatism. The pain
was no intense and the contraction of the
limbs SO severe that twelve pounds Of
weight were attached to her ankle and
worn night and day to counteract the
shortening of the affected member. The
parents of the unfortunate child were at
tracted by an advertisement of Athloph-
oros, and purchased bottle. The small
doses were given to her and the child
slept that night without pain for the first
time in eight months. The use of the
medicine was continued with the most
benefcent results, and Katie will soon be
entirely well.

HUTCHINSON'S DEBTS.
Repetition of the Reports of His Lack
of Cash.
The Assertion Again Made That He Is
Largely in Debt to the WALL
Street Bank-Tae
Rumors.

New York, Aug. 2T-The rumors affect
ing Broker W. j. Hutchinson have taken
definite shape, and it is said that as a director
of the Wall Street bank he improperly used
large amount of the hanks securities to OBJ
tain a personal loan. The amount is not
known, but it is stated that under
pressure from C. J. Osborn and the other
directors Mr.. Hutchinson has thus far
returned sd, coo to the bank The
necessity of raising this amount on short
notice is said to have greatly embarrassed
Mr.. Hutchinson, who was once worth several
million dollars
1t is stated that most of Hutchins0n's real
estate has been transferred to his wife, and
that efforts are being made by him, and by
J. B. Cornell and Gen. Clinton B. Fisk
to irduce Mrs. Hutchinson to dispose of the
property for the benefit of his creditors,
Included in the estate are an elegant resi-
dence at Fifth avenue and Fifty-eighth
| street, worth $500, 900, and a country seat at
Seabright val'sed at 100000 Two years
ago Hutchinson was obliged to pay $500, 600
| to John K. Duff, as balance due ON the cele-
| brated transaction known as the corner in
| Hannibal q St Joe. He has lived in ex-
| pensive style, and has speculated largely
| through Timpson 4 Co, Sistar & Sons, and
other firms, to whom he it more less indebted.
Rumors of Mr.. Hutch!nson's fight to avoid
arrest were current last week They were
apparently incorrect, for, though he went to
the White mountains his movements were
not concealed, He has returned to the city
| and his office.
The extent of Mr.. Hutchinson's indebted
ness is known only to himself. His embar
rassment is a complete surprise to al
his friends. After paying John R. Dnfi
$685. 600 in settlement of all claims in the
celebrated Hannibal & St Joe deal he was
supposed to be worth about $4,000, 900 Ii

Bill Nye.

The average English joke has its pecu-
liarities. A sort of mellow distance; a
kind of chastened reluctance. A coy and
timid yet trusting though evanescent in>
tangibiIity, which softly fingers in the
troubled air, and lulls the senses to a
dreary rest, like the subdued murmur of
hoarse jackass about nine miles up the
gulch. When the London funny man
grapples with Il particularly skittish and
evasive joke, with its weeping willow
attachment, and hurls it at giddy and
reckless humanity, prolonged wall of
anguish goes up from broken hearts and
somber pail hang in the gladstone sky
like pair of soldier pants with only one
suspender. The mission of the English
hnmorist is to darken the horizon-to
shut out the beauty of the landscape and
scatter two-dollar gloom over the glad
green earth. English humor is like car
buncle 1t makes you glad when you get
over it. 1t is like smallpox, because if
you live through it you are not likely to
have it again. When we pass from earth
and our place is filled by another sad~eyed
genus whose pants are too short, and who
manifests other signs of greatness, let no
stored urn or animated bust be placed
above our lowly resting>place, but stuff
an English conundrum so that it will look
as it did in life, and let 1t stand above oul
silent dust, to shed its damp and bilious
influence through the cemetery as a n on
ument of desolation and fountain OF
unshed tears.
From the conclusion of the above
paragraph we should judge that Bill has
been reading the Union.

In his Twenty Years of Congress, re-
ferring to the elevation of the Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks to the United
States senate. Mr.. Blaine says: He was
but 81 years of age when first chosen and
his record in the house had not prepared
the public to expect the strength and abil-
ity which he displayed as senator. He
was in the full maturity of his powers
when he took his seat and he proved able,
watchful and acute in the discharge of his
public duties. He was always at his post,
was well prepared on all questions, debat'
ed with ability, and rapidly gained respect
and consideration in the senate
