There are a great many thisgs in
this world that partake of the nature
OF conundrums. An exchange asks,
for instance, why it is that some peo-
pie always have money for their own
personal grati6cations-have the
means always at hand for railroad
fares, pleasure excursions, fairs, cir
cuses, &C., but never have any money
to pay an honest debt. We give it
up.

Suffrage in Great Britain.

With thegeneral election, which
tkkes place this fall N Great Britain

which is destined to be regarded as
the greatest measure Of Gladstone's
Ministry. win go into effect. The
Tories and other opponents Of the
Eill have denounced it as calculated
10 debauch the suffrage, turn the
government over to democracy and
unaettle the foundations OF the en-
pre-. Perhaps it viii, but If the last
prediction shall prove to have been
correct it win be the people of the
enpire themselves who decree that
these changes be made.
Mr.. Gladstone's bill practically
completes, universal suffrage in Great
Britain. OF course a great many
men viii be barred out for one rea-
son or another, but it will now be
possible under the laws for almost
any subject Of the. crown to secure
the right OF voting or complying with
some one OF the several easy condi
<tons. It has taken more than fifty
years to educate the English people
up to this enlightened position rela-
Tive to the suffrage. The first reform
bill was passed as early as 1882, CIV
ing the ballot to the middle classes
That is, the bone, sinew and brains of
the nation. The bill of 1867 gave
the ballot TO the artisan class, and
the present measure confers the right
OF suffrage onM occupants of dwell
ings, whether they own them or not,
Nnd without reference to their value,
6ank agents, factors and managers,
farm servants, game-keepers, garden
Aess. leasp-keepers,- miners and mill
workers.
So'large an addition to the voting
strength Of the empire naturally oc-
casions q great deal Of speculation as
% the effect that it will have on the
parties, bat it win be very difficult to
make anything except Liberals out
OF the most OF the new voters
With so many of the working class
aenfranchised it viii not be long be-
fore their power win be exerted in q
way which those who have profted
by centuries of injustice and oppres-
sion viii not enjoy. The revolution,
though q peaceful one, is becoming
almost a. sweeping as any that was
SEsr- carried on by war.

1t need not he said that civil ser,
vice reform is a failure pure and sim.
pie. The absurd and ridiculous law
which aims to create privileged
class in a republic, ought to be re-
pealed at the earliest possible mo
ment. If the question of civil ser
vice reform--a misnomer, by the way
for the law has failed most signal,
to reform anything-could be sub
mitted to the people, there is nc
doubt as to what the result would be

armed is the direct cause of nine out

be discountenanced by law and pub

EdpinrtOn.

They have case OF tie out in Edging
ton in regard to the supcrvisorship, M.
Shoemaker democrat, and Dr. Cazod
republican, having the same number of
votes. At the present writing Edgington
township appears to be having more than
her share of woe. First the Spickler trial
for stealing hogs caused an upheaval of
no small dimensions. Then followed the
murder of Patrick McDermott, and last
week a sensational marriage started the
gossips' tongues wagging, and they
have not yet stopped. Now comes the
word that two of the best men in the
town have locked horns, on the supervi~
sorship. 1t is to be hoped that the diff
Guilty will be adjusted amicably before the
board Is called in session. A throw al
dice or drawing straws might be resorted
to, and if need be we might stand two
members from Edgington for year. This
would be better that bloodshed, at any
rate.

KNIGHTS OF THE THROTTLE.
They Held a Love Feast Last Evening
fermentation to Chief Engin.
Ger Ewing and Wife.

Last evening most enjoyable time
was spent in the rooms of Rock Island
Division No. 60, Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers in Star block. The event
was of a social nature, and was parties
pated in not only by the brave men OF the
rail, but also by their wives, daughters
sisters and sweethearts. One OF the prlns
cipal features of the programme was
testimonial to Chief Engineer James Ew>
ing and wife, of the high regard in which
they were held by the Brotherhood. The
recipients of the token of friendship were
ignorant of the intention of the Brother
hood, and, in fact, were not aware OF the
social. A committee of three, consisting
of Messrs. Thos. Carl, Samuel Schrauger
and Ii. Carpenter, were therefore de-
tailed, about nine o'clock, to ins
form Mr.. and Mrs Ewing that
their presence was desired at the hall.
Upon their arrival they were surrounded
by the members Of the party, who were
represented as spokesman by Mr.. II. II.
Baker. In a neat little speech the gen
tleman presented Mr.. Ewing with fine
reclining chair, which was accompanied
by nice tidy made by Mrs. Baker, with
the letters "B of L. E." worked on the
surface.
Mrs. Ewing's turn came next, and her
present was a tea set of superb china.
Both were greatly surprised and effected
by this acknowledgement of friendship,
and it was some moments before Mr. Ew>
ing could find his speech to reply and re-
turn his heartfelt thanks.
Dancing was INDUCED in by the young
er folks. The party had come prepared
with eatables, and the supper that was
spread showed that the engineers had
wives whose culinary education could moi
be surpassed. About midnight the festI>
vities concluded and all returned home
delighted with the evenings entertain
ment.

The Pennock Road Machine.

There is a road machine on exhibition
at Tindalrs livery stable which is work
ing revolution in making roads. 1t is
extremely simple and very strong, being
properly braced to withstand all strains
1t runs on four heavy, four inch truck
wheels, which gives it durability, steadie
ness and weight. Its scraper bar is ad-
iusted by means of two levers, each
with spring bolt and ratchet, by means
of which either end or both ends can be
lowered or raised as required. The sea-
rifer is an attachment to the scraper bar
which is used for tearing up hard and un
even roads. 1t is adjusted while at work
the same as the scraper. This machine
will do the work with four horses and
will pay tor itself in fourteen days. There
are twelve machines in practical use in
Chicago. There will be an exhibition Of
the machine at p. m, tomorrow on the
Goble farm on Big island by the agent
Mr.. j. N. ONeil.
