Gen. Svyainl,s Case.


REPORT THAT ADDITIONAL CHARGES WILL BE MADE
AGAINST HIM.
1t is currently reported that Judge Advocate
General Swain will be courtmartialed, not only on
charges OF rregularty In financial matters in rela-
ton to the Bateman matter, but also on addi-
tional charges OF ENLIGHTENMENT, in connec-
ton with the Garfield monument fund.
AT the War department it is stated that no such
charges are Included In the official Information OF
the court sent to Gen. Swain, but IL Is not denied
that steps are being taken to see If there any
facts which will warrant a trial OF ENLIGHTENMENT
by the court 1t will be remembered that such
charges were brought to the attention OF the court
OF inquiry, which tried Ge1 Swain, but 1t was not

we'll this should be the end Of his evil
tricks and wicked doings.
1t was not until the gray of early morn
ing that the wolves, alarmed either by
some fancied noise without or by the
growth of daylight, reluctantly stole away.
1t was not until broad sunrise that Pierre
ventured to believe that they were really
and truly gone. Softly he left his shell
tering stove, and creeping to the door,
peeped out. The road lay sill and
empty in the frosty silence of the autumn
morning. White, cold rhine lay on leaves
and grasses by the roadside. The sun
above struggled bravely through the trees
and sent bright yellow shafts down to the
damp gray earth.
Pierre left the schoolhouse and darted
down the road. There was nobody astir
as yet, not even the men who went out to
the forest chopping. Swift IS the wind
Pierre fed down the wood road. A thin
curl of smoke rose from the chimney of
his fathers cabin as he drew near, show
ing that the family were already awake
and at work. How safe and pleasant it
looked to poor Pierre with the cat on the
sunny doorstope and Co ,sette's mild gray
face peeping out of her sable window.
Little it mattered to Pierre that he had
the beating promised by his father the
night before; that was mere trife not
worth mentioning. 1t was of no conse-
quence, either, that his mother made him
carry to old Dame Michaud his own little
bantam hen, who laid every day a pretty
pink egg. These things were nothing.
When boy has felt the hot breath of a
wolf on his bare heels, small things like
these others are of no account. Among
the school children Pierre was quite a
hero, and had to tell his story again and
again and as for the rusty old stove it
found itself suddenly quite famous. The
school-teacher reported that Pierre Lubee
was better boy ever after his adventure.
Not that he became model all at once,
for that is too much to expect but it is
certainly true that he tried to be better
and left off playing wicked jokes upon
poor and helpless people, and Mother
Michaud, at least, had reason to bless the
night spent by Pierre Lubee in the school.

The Year of Jubilee.

The democrats had arranged a jubila-
ton for Saturday night, but on mature
elaboration concluded to postpone it for
little more assurance that there is really
something to be happy about. They'd
better indulge Monday evening, for if they
wait until the official count in New York
on Tuesday the chances are that they'll
not jubilee at all.-UniOn.
The democrats did nothing of the sort
There was some talk of a jubilee on Sat
urday evening, but early IN the day it was
decided to wait until Wednesday or
Thursday evening, when the official count
would be received, and then the people
will have an opportunity to witness one
of the greatest political Publications ever
seen in Rock Island. Hold the fort, for
we are coming"

Sweet Charity.

There was a meeting of the Women's
Guild of Trinity church in the Harper
house parlors today, at 2 o'clock. to which
all persons willing to assist in the work of
starting cottage hospital in Rock Island
were cordially invited.
The town has been canvassed to some
extent for material aid to this enterprise,
aud at this meeting reports were received
from those who have been soliciting
help.
We think there has been scarcely time
for thorough canvass, and that there
must be many persons whose attention
has not been called to the work
AS we wish to interest everyone in aid
ing this enterprise, which certainly
must be thought of importance, we hope
all who have not already done SO, will
avail themselves of the opportunity of
offering assistance in donations Of house
hold stores, furnishing materials, and
money.
1t is most desirable that the larger part
of the articles for furnishing should be
given or promised now, as the money in
the hands of the treasurer of the Guild
will be needed for the immediate expenses
of opening and running the hospital The
more that is given at this meeting the
less the executive committee of the Guild
need to intrcnch upon the money placed
at their disposal by few generous per,
sons.

A Believer in Belva.

ROCK ISLAND, Nov. 10
EDITOR ARGUs-The political question
is the question of the day Men are seen
gathered together in little groups upon
the streets of the towns and cities. talking
politics. They have paraded the streets,
bearing torch lights with their banners
afoat, have even went so far as to dress
IN Mother Hubbard style and parade, try
ing to initiate the women of America,
mixing them up with their politics. If
women should parade the streets in such
a manner, the men would pronounce them
set oflunatics, while man considers that
he may do as he pleases. In many places
there has been law passed, that woman
was not allowed to wear the Mother
Hubbard costume upon the public streets,
and now to think that the men of this
broad land have stopped SO low as
to array themselves in woman's
dress and came out on the public streets
in a parade. What kind of men have we,
are they good sensible men? They must
be an excitable set of beings, that have
let politics turn their minds upside down
As long as man lives he thinks he will be
lord of creation, perhaps he will, time
will tell. If our heavenly father was to
appear upon the earth they would not
make such a parade over him as they do
over the election of president. They
have carried things to extremes, spent
dollars after dollars to make a show of
themselves and if the world moves on like
this many more years, they are going to
run things into the ground.
1t is said, men must work and women
weep; it will be reversed after awhile,
women work and men weep, weep because
the women will be far ahead of them.
FAIR SEX.
Our fair correspondent makes an eX-
ceedingly crude argument In favor of
woman's rights. The reader is left entirely
in the dark as to where the wicked men
assumed the costume of the revered
Mother Hubbard, but probably our cor
respondent refers to the humorous per-
Torrance of some young men in DaVen-
port. The affair over there was merely a
satire upon the presumption of an ambi
tious woman, but our correspondent seems
to take it rs matter of fact She chides
the members of the political parties foI
parading the streets, for bearing torch
lights and banners. We should like to see
person who ever witnessed presideu>
tial campaign wherein there was not more
or less of the torchlight and banner These
are necessary characteristics of presi-
dental campaign. As regards the Mother
Hubbard, our fair correspondent says
that the men are trying in this costume
to initiate the women of America. We
hope not. We hope that our correspon>
dent does not array herself in the fasci
mating Mother Hubbard If she does she
might as well abandon literary pursuits
for there is no room for the Mother Hub
bard in the literary world
She says if women should parade the
streets in such u manner, men would pro,
nounce them set of lunatics That i:
an absolute mistake. Women parade the
streets in Mother Hubbards and ever
more suggestive costumes daily, and the
gentlemen are compassionate enough to
overlook the folly and meekly and humbly
venture the opinion that they will learn

better as the world moves around.


Our correspondent wishes to know
'what kind of men we have, are they
good, sensible menu" Leap year is not
at an end yet and perhaps the lady can
best satisfy her inquiry by practical ex-
perience. Seriously, however. it is our
opinion that the citizens of Rock Island
will compare favorably in intelligence
with the citizens of any other community
in the land.
AS far as political excitability is cons
cerned we deem it useless to discuss the
point, feeling assured that our cor>
respondent does not understand the
first principles of politics. So far
as the reception of our heavenly
father is concerned should he condescend
to appear in Rock Island for one night
only, we do not pretend to know, nor even
guess. But it is our solemn opinion that
if he were to consent to appear at the
democratic jubilee this week he would
witness one of the grandest turnouts he
ever saw either in this world or the other
So far as the working and weeping
idea is concerned we think is far fetched
We are of the opinion that both sexes
will work and weep as long as time en-
dures, politics or no politics.
