Gen. Crook gave the graduating cadets at Vest
Point sensible talk last saturday. which they VIII
10 well 70 heed He told them that the greatest
Hasilt OF young soldiers was sidleness and mental
Incidence, and he warned them against the temp
tatlOnS which follow such 1azlneSS. He also told
them that they were citizens, and that this coun-
try was made up OF citizens who rightfulIy were
Jealous OF the sword and only used it as a neces-
sary evil and last resort. Our geographical posi-
ton sheltered US from foreign aggression, and we
had 'no neei Of armies TO rcpres5 tine tendency of
the age toward self government: therefore In the
future, as in tho past, the army is likely to be
hardly more than national police, scarcely suffi-
Client TO weakly garrison our scattered frontier
posts He added that even on the frontier the
military would have little to do as wars with the

Ii IS more than 4 coincidence that many If not
most OF the leading Independents who are now
ooittng Blaine favor the tariff policy of the reve-
nu1-reIJrn wing Of the democracy. Blaine is,
fndeAl, personally OBNOXIOUS to them. but they are
kicking against the platform fully as much as
against the ticket Especially Is this true in New
YORK and Massachusetts, the Independent strong
holds In both OF these states revenue reform
leagues have recently been started and the lead
erS. In the main, are the men who are actively Op-
posing Blaine The same Is true OF most Of the
newspapers which are boiling the nomination.
This feature of the situation should not be lost

Affiliations OF the independent voters on both sides
II the tariff is indeed 'the only living ISSUE" we
may expect Encouragement of party lines. The
republicans must face the certainty OF deSertion5
In the west and In certain localities at the east but

largely on the action OF the approaching demo-
cratic convention II that endorses the Morrison

Give the Boys a Chance,

Now that the sleighing is fine, our
horsemen are bringing out their steppers
for little exercise While Rock Island
can brag of fine coterie of flyers and a
goodly number of lovers of horsefiesh,
the gentlemen complain that they have no
suitable place to speed" without fear of
being nabbed by the police and yanked
into the frowning presence of a justice of
the peace. With very little expense they
say that Fifth avenue would make first
class boulevard and being lightly trav'
eled thoroughfare the danger of accidents
by fast driving would be ayerted. Let
some of the interested gentlemen punch
up the city dads, and see what can be
done towards promoting the equine sport
in the city Rock Island has the credit o
| being an excellent horse market, and it:
reputation should be sustained in the fu-
ture as much as possible. This can b
accomplished by giving the boys LITTLE
more rope" Those that do not owl
2:20 steeds can enjoy the sport by look
ing on from one of the grand stands or a!
electric light tower.

On the Downward Course.

Journalism, as general rule has a
tendency to make man erratic. Tue
cause OF this Is that the average active
active newspaper worker meets with so
many different conditions of matters both
personal and impersonal that he naturally
acquires a conglomeration of all which
eventually makes him a-peculiar person.
But of all the eratic journalists, if we
may be allowed to call him such, Frank
Harwood is the cake catcher If there is
anything disgraceful that he has not been
In we should like to know what it is.
Haiwood has had excellent opportunities
to make something out of himself, but he
never availed himself of single one.
From his very youth to the present time
his course has been that of reckless and
dissipated young man. He has some tai
ent as a newsgatherer, which if properly
cultivated and applied, might in due time
serve him well. The latest that has been
heard from Frank is that he has been vic.
timizing people in the east. A month
or so ago he left for New York
for the purpose of accepting a position in
an advertising agency. He W as, as usual,
helped to leave Moline by the financial
assistance of number of friends who re
sorted to the, in his case, threadbare sub
scription racket. Word comes from New
York now that Harwood has been swind

Tuesday evening, May 10Th, at B'nai

pleasure to be present, aud we are sorry
that our business engagements may pre-.
vent our being there in person. The
name OF Mr.. Tilden evokes a responsive
chord in the breasts of all true Demo
Gratis. Throughout the whole limits OF
the United States his name Is beisg ac-
claimed with energy and enthusiasm, and
State Convention after State Convention
is clectng delegates to tho Democratic
National Convention favorable to the
Sage of Gramercy Park 1t is th1 al
most universal feeling amongst Demo
Gratis that MIR Tilden ought to be the
Democratic nominee. We are not with
out hope, OF late, that he will be. The
only bar to his enthusiastic nomination
is his own voluntary declaration that ho
is not candidate. In face of popular
ground swell indicating love and prefer
ence, Mr.. 1'lldsn may be in duced to
Withdraw his dsclnation. Once elected
President of the United States without
having been inaugurated, the history Of

Riverside Items.

The Orange Growers Journal OF the
18th instant has the following items of
interest:
The swarming bees still continue
troublesome. Six swarms were occupy.
ing the walls of the Presbyterian church
at last accounts, and many OF the dwell
ings in the valley have bees to spare.
David Sarber has shown us black,
shiny, jointed creature which he has
discovered destroying the cut.worms in
his vineyard. People engaged in fight
ing the cut-worms are advised to let this
lively little ally alone. He says the
creature is quick -motioned, and is sure
death to q worm when it gets hold OF
him.
Riverside is to have new bank. M.
l.. Stewart, of Newton, Kansas, has pur-
chased lot ON Main street, north of the
Pavilion, and will soon put up two
story brick building for the purpose
mentioned. Mr.. Stewart was here a
year or more ago, liked the place aud
has concluded to make this his future
home. He is brother in-law Of II. d.
Nolanf.
Chas. II. Roe, of San Bernardino, and
r. Lloyd, Superintendent of the San
Bernardino Gas Works, were in River
side on Monday to talk up the project OF
gas works for our town. The PROPOSE
ton is almst entirely new to most of our
citizens, bat the above named gentlemen
say that II 30 meters. representing 500
burners and a consumption of about 1000
feet per night, can be secured, the en-
terprise can be made to pay.
The crop of cut.worms evidently
"ripened" good deal earlier on the
coast than in this section, which led the
people TO infer that we were not to be
bothered with them. Since our last
issue they have shown themselves in
many portions of the valley in such
numbers as to make owners OF vine-
yards anxious about the chances for the
raisin crop A few vineyards have suf
fered severely. but the damage done
generally, thanks to prompt action of
the citizens, has made it probable that
the crop will not bs materially reduced
in consequence of their ravsges. Sew
eral alfalfa patches are alive with them,
and vines and trees adjoining have been
troub ed considerably. MIR. II. j. Rudi-
sill found them eating the oranges on
his place, they were perforating the rind
of the fruit and hanging with their
heads immersed in the juice. Apricots
and peaches have also been attacked,
but we think the loss from their attack
is inconsiderable.

Eng and's Amateur Runner.
lNes York Clipper. |

The recent feat performed by the
English amateur, w. G.. George, eclpses
all his previous achievements on the
cinder path The great time accom-
plished ut ten miles by l.. Bennett, alias
Deerfoot, the American lndian pedes-
trian, in his race at the West Brompton
Grounds, London, England, April 5,
lS63, remained the fastest on record up
to Monday, April 1th lover 81 years..
when it was eXcelled by the Mosely
liarriefs crack, who reached the tape in
81 minutes 20 seconds, Just six seconds
quicker than the copper colored flyer
traversed the distance. George had
previously held the amateur record at
all distances from one mile to ten miles,
also holding II at three-quarters OF a
mlle, his time Tor leu miles having been
- minutes and 50 seconds, and those
who haya closely watched his career
felt confident that, with nil things favor.
able and George "a tryin', he was able
to lower the figures lie is unqurstion-
ably at once the fastest and the most
lasting amateur runner that the world
has yet seen. In comparing his recent
| performance with that OF DeerfOot,
however, it must be remembered that
| the latter's teIi-mile record was made in
twelve-mils race, and that he covered
1 the two additional miles ut remarkable
rate Of speed, his time for both eleven
miles and the full journey being still the
best recorded Therefore, while giving
all due credit to George, whose time Is
the fastest, Deertoots performance was,
| under the circumstances mentioned
really the better Of the two.
