EDITORIAL MATTER
From Tri.Weekly issues of Monday and Frid

THIS is our last issue before the
Presidential election, and we do not
feel that we can add a single one to
the many arguments that present
themselves to the mind of every
thoughtful patriot in behalf of a
change in the executive department
of Government.
In regard to questions of local
policy there are and probably always
will be divisions among the people
of Monroe county and all like com
munities,yet at the polls on Tuesday
will rally, shoulder to shoulder in
support Of the nominees of the great
Democratic party at Chicago, nearly
every man yet living who participat-
ed in the victorious campaigns of
1875 and 76.

A Party.


A brilliant party was given on Tuesday
evening last, at the residence of Mr..
Leroy Haskins, of South Rock Island, it
being the BIZ thday of his step daughter,
Miss Jennie Peal. Dancing and other
social amusements constituted the pro
gramme. Soon after 9 o'clock the strains
of music were waited from Prof Johns
orchestra, and a few moments sufficed
for all to be engaged in the merry dance.
The exhilerating exercise was continued
until 10 o'clock, when the wearied devotees
of the art terpsichorean were summoned
to the dining hall where a sumptuous
supper was served After ample justice
was done the feast the company returned
to the dancing room and dancing was re-
sumed until 2 o'clock. A more enjoyable
evening was never spent. This was the ex.
preston of every guest as they reluctantly
departed. The young lady received seve-
raj very handsome presents Those

A Coon Fight

Two buck negroes had fight in the
lower end of town last night. They were
fighting over politics One was demo
crat and the other was republican. The
republican coon was haunting the other
over voting the democratic ticket. From
words they came to blows, They fought,
scratched, butted each other with their
heads, and pulled each others hair. They
were finally parted, before either one did
any great injury TO the other. The
peelers are looking for the coons and il
they can be found they will be severely
dealt with.

Franklin Square.

Several citizens living in the lower end
of the city have spoken IN praise of the
ARGUS in its efforts to obtain good
fence around Franklin square. They say
that no other paper in town advocates
their interest like the ARGUS does. They
have been kicking for two years or more
about the fence around the square. We
hope they will succeed in getting the
fence. On summer evenings this square
is used as general resort by the people
of the lower end, and it is no more than
right that this pleasant place should be
surrounded by a nice fence

Late yesterday afternoon there occurred
a slick robbery in Moline. A fellow went
into Okerberg's jewelry store and wanted
to buy watch for his wife. He said his
wife was sick, and he wanted three
watches so she could take her pick out of
them. He was allowed to take them.
Since that time the ieweler has heard
nothing of the man or the watches. The
police have been notified and are looking
for him. There are no hopes of his cap
ture. They must have funny business
men in Moline, to let total strangers have
goods to take out of the store. ALAS,

The same fellow who played this slick
game on the Moline jeweler, tried his
little game in this city last Monday, but
he utterly failed, The fellow went into
Pectz store Monday forenoon and asked
to see three watches. The watches were
shown him. Then he told Peetz to send
the watches down to his boarding house
where his sister would pick out one tc
suit her, Peetz promised to do. The
fellow then left and Peetz sent for Chic
Miller. The chief told Peetz to send the
watches. He then posted two policemen
in the alley. The watches went down
but they were not the ones selected They
were returned all right. The fellow ther
told Peetz to send the watches he had Sc

CONGRESSMAN NEEcE's GOOD WORK.

CONGRESSMAN NEECEs GOOD WORK.
Col. D. W. Flagler, commander of Rock
Island arsenal. issued orders last evening
that in the future all workmen would only
be compelled to labor eight hours each
day and that the compensation would be
the same as heretofore. 1t seems that the
secretary of war had given instructions
about the first of the year that eight hours
should constitute days work in the gov
eminent arsenals, but for some reason or
other, the time HIS been the same here.
Not long ago Alderman Larkin wrote to
Hon. W. II. Niece. our member of con-
gress, asking him to investigate the matter
and discover why the new rule had not
been adopted here. Mr.. Niece went 10 work
in his systematic way and the result of his
lab0rs are now manifest Aldermen Larkin,
Edwards and Bennett of this city, with
Alderman WEIGH, Of Davenport, called on
Col. Flagler yesterday afternoon in regard
to the matter The Colonel said he would
telegraph to headquarters, and get in

back to adopt the new rule Immediately,
and it consequently went into effect this
morning, -.a
The ARGUS is glad to know that the
workingmen have secured their rights,
and that their hours of hard work have
been shortened so materially. Congress

has shown himself to be their true friend,
