VIrtuous. .

The Union virtuously remarks this
morning "that the hoodlum democrats do
not like Mayor Murdock's appointments,
particularly in the police department. )"
The contrary IS true. If there are any
who are pleased over the appointments in
the police department it is the hoodlum
element of the city, and the new mayor
appears to have made the selections for
their special benefit, Citizens residing in
the eartern part of the city are especially
indignant over the removal of Policeman
Mitsch-an officer who kept the rowdy
element in complete subjugation and fear.
The Union should correct its statement
that the hoodlums are disgruntled over
the police appointments. 1t is the solid,
substantial and respectable citizens who
are dissatisfied, and couch their opinion
of the matter in no mild words. Let the
attenuated individual on the Union take g
stroll among our bushes men and ascer,
tain the true sentiment on this important
question.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-04-22
Ungodly Peoria.

Not long ago, it will be remembered,
the ARGUS printed circular issued by the
Young Mems Christian association of this
city, showing the number of young men
who entered saloons on Saturday even-
ing, and the number who attended church
the following evening. This plain and
unvarnished statement was seized with
avidity by Baldwin, of the Peoria Jour
nal, who scattered the news far and wide
that Rock Island was anything but nice
town, and the young were the tough>
est kind of thugs. We demonstrated
with Bro. Baldwin at the time, but he
turned a deaf ear to our denial. Now we
have sufficient evidence from the same
source that he received his, that
Peoria is, as we have always claimed
it to be, reeking with immor>
ality and brazen faced criminals. The
Y. NJ. c. A. has entered this region of IN
EQUITY, and is engaged in the herculean
task of purging it OF some of its sins.
Circulars have been issued similar to
those gotten up here, and We give the fol-
lowing comparison to show that there are
worse places in Illinois than Rock Island
Number of young men in city-Rock
Island 1000; Peoria 5000.
Members OF Protestant churches Rock
Island Ell; Peoria $50.
Arrested by city police during the yeal
1SS4-Rock Island 1870; Peoria 300.
Confined in the county jail during the
same yearbook Island so; Peoria 40.
Entered saloons on Saturday evening
in single hour-Rock Island 90; Peoris
612.
Attended church the following Sunday
Rock Island 500; Peoria 500.
Now Bro. Baldwin, put this in YOU
pipe and smoke it, and in the future al
least give Rock Island young men credit
for being somewhat better than your Pc
oria dudes.

Advice TO Boys.

An exchange gives this good advice to
boys: Boys, when you speak of your
father don't call him old man OF course
you are older now than when your learned
to call him father. You are much smart-
er now than you were then; you are much
more manly looking. Your clothes fit
better; your hat has more model shape,
and your hair is combed differently. In
short, you are flyer than you were then.
Your father has last years coat and a
two year old hat. and vest of still older
pattern. He can't write such an elegant
note as you can. and all that-but don't
call him old man. Call him father. For
years he has been rustling around to get
things together; he has made mighty lit
tie progress some years; he has been held
to the thorny path of uphill industry for
years and the half of life. the brightest,
half, has gone from HIM forever"
