The Postomce.

The ARGUS has been waiting for the
past few days to see whether Major
BeardsleY's party paper would not give
him good word, in regard to the efficient
and gentlemanly manner, in which he
has served the people during his term
of office As it has not performed this
duty, it behooves us to say few words
in his behalf Major Beardsley, we think
IS deserving of great credit for the fine
postoffice he has secured for US, and no
one will say that the office is not great
improvement to what it was when he took
charge. Strangers who visit it, declare
that it is the finest postoff1ce in the state
outside of Chicago, and we think they
are right This state of affairs has not
been brought about without the outlay
of considerable money on the part of Mr..
Beardsley, and, also occupied consider
able of his time. The postoffice is one
of the best features of our city, and it is
surely All institution, which would be q
credit to any community. That Major
Beardsley has done al this, we should
feel grateful TO him, and as his party
bosses have seen fit to discard him and
put q new man in his place, the best
we can do is to thank him for giving us
q model postoffice. gffs

not backsliders- perish the thought
we will 60 out once or twice and
get our spiritual strength renewed. If
there is anything a newspaper man needs

A Great Succass.

That is what the County Teachers In
stitute can be called which is now being
conducted in Rock Island by County
Superintendent Southweil. The Institute
opened Monday with eightysix teachers
present, and the second day shows 115 on
the role. The attendance exceeds the
most sanguine expectations of Superin-
tendent Southwell, and must be a pleasing
indication to him that his work in the
country is being appreciated. The large
attendance also shows that the Institute
is just what the teachers desire. There is
no better way of gaining new ideas and
new methods than the contact of numer-
Gus minds all striving the same end
success as teacher. Analysis of the list
of teachers show that about one hundred
of those present are from the country
schools. This is just the class that the
Superintendent desires most especially to
reach. City teachers who are in graded
schools have opportunities for frequent
meeting and comparison of methods
which the single teacher in country
district is deprived of; and the two weeks
normal drill given in Rock Island will be
an excellent means of making up this
deficiency

Adam Forepaugh has prided himself upon
exhibiting in his circus and menagerie
everything his show bills announce in
word or picture. When he says he will
exhibit twentyseven elephants, he has
them; when he advertises troupe of

nounces the most complete circus and the
most exciting hippodrome races in the

To Major j. NJ Beardsley, Rock Island, H.
Sir-From good authority, learn that
during the last session of the Illinois legis-
lature. while the Harper high license bill
was pending, and many times since, you
have publicly charged me with having
been bribed, while member of the state
board of equalization, and that | received
large sum of money to Influence my
action touching the assessment of railway
property. t..ts.
For long time felt that my life of
thirty years in this district ought to be a
sufficient answer to such charges, and
considering their source, for they all came
from you, | had intended to pass them by
with silent content.
But am now led to believe that it is
due the public that some notice be taken
of them, for a charge not denied is some
times assumed as confessed, and accord
ingly demand of you that you make your
infamous allegations good or stand con-
fessed wilful and malicious slander4r,
for now say most emphatically, that all
your insinuations and charges concerning
my having betrayed the public trust are
wholly false and without any foundation
whatever. HENRY A. AINswoRTH.
