WARM WORK In nuIn

The campaign in Ohio is growing
very warm as election day draws near.
Both of the principal parties are full
Of activity and the Prohibitionists are
full of-hope. The speech of Senator
Thurman is resounding through the
State and is stiiTening the Democratic
backbone to remarkable degree. The
Republicans are also quickening to the
work and in few days Ohio will be
boiling in every county. Judge
Foraker and Governor IIoadly are,
after various challenges and counter
challenges, to meet in joint debate, and
all are ready for the fray. Mr.. Blaine
has telegraphed to Judge Foraker that
"interest in your contest rapidly in
creases in the East, with strong conf
dence in your victory"
Even Senator Sherman is becoming
unusually warm. lie had refused
during his campaign to have anything
TO say about the utterances of DR..
Leonard, the Prohibition candidate, or
about the statements which the latter
made concerning him. He has caught
the contagion, however, and pro-
nounces false the statement by DR..
Leonard that he had made a good deal

THE DISARMAMENT LAW,

Secretary Lamar is determined on a
vigorous enforcement of the act of
Congress inhibiting eX-oilicials from
practicing as attorneys before the De
partments within two years after their
retirement from the public service. He
probably believes in the principle that
the surest way to make a bad law obi
Gus is to'enforce it with the utmost pos
siblc severity.
THE CRITIC has no great faith in the
wisdom or justice of the statute in
question. 1t is apparently based on the
extraordinary assumption that en- an
employe of the Government ceases to
be such and goes out of Office, he
should leave behind him all the knowl.
edge which he has acquired through his
official position, when the fact is that
many men enter the Government ser
vice for the express purpose of gaining
information that may be professionally
useful afterward. But the law dis
eliminates against this class of ex-of-
ticials and puts them under ban, the
honest and dishonest alike. In fact it
brands them all as men not to be trusted
and rules them out of the very practice
for which they have acquired special
adaptation.
1t is true that not all of the attorneys
who engage in business before the De-
partments are strictly reputable. Some
of them, no doubt, make illegitimate
use of the capital they have accumu.
lated at their official desks and from
Illicit combinations with inside parties
as disreputable as themselves. But the
chiefs of the several bureaus and di-
visions should be on their guard against
such Irregularities and see that they are
checkmated. 1t is certainly not right
in this era of reform that upright and
worthy attorneys should be disbarred,
because of the occasional black sheep
who get in among them. The act al
luded TO is not in keeping with the
spirit of administrative progress. 1t
ought to be relegated to the limbo Of
a corrupt past

We mean to do IL. Some day some day
We mean to slaCken this foyerod rush
That Is wearing our very souls away,
And grant to our goaded hearts a hush
That Is holy enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do II. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden Of daytime brOll Is DER,
Wen sit and muse, while the stars come out,
As the patriarch sat at the open door
OF his tent with heaYenward gazing eye,
10 watch for the angels passing by
We've seen them afar at high noontlde,
When terCely the world Is hot hashings beat
Yet never have bidden them turn aside
And tarry awhile In converse sweet
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we
spread,
To drink OF our wine and break our bread.
We promised our hearts that when the stress
ot the lile'work reaches the longed-lor
less,
Wen loosen ourthoughts 10 such repose
As banshes cares disturbing din,
And thcn-we will call the angels In.
The day that we dreamed of come, at length.
When, tired of every mocking quest,
And broken in spirit and shorn I'm strength
We drop, indeed at the door Of rest
And wait and watch as the day wanes on
But the angels we meant to call are gone

IT appears to be settled at last that
President Cleveland is in favor of the
success of the Democratic ticket in
New York The noodles who have
been questioning his attitude toward
the pending canvass, as though there
was possibility that he hankered for
rebuke of his own administration in
his own State, will probably give the
country a rest now that the Presidents
sentiments are known.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
A Farmers Team Makes Things Lively
ON Market Square and Along
Second Avenue.

One of the most exciting runaways that
has been seen in Rock Island for many
a day occurred this morning. George
A. Crawford, farmer from Pleas
ant Valley, was driving down Third
avenue with "a load of lumber which he
had just purchased at the upper mill.
When near Eighteenth street the seat
slipped and Mr.. Crawford was thrown
violently to the ground The horses took
fright and started off at terrific rate.
AT Seventeenth street they turned north,
dumped the contents of the load on Mar
ket square and dashed on. At Second
avenue they made direct for the large
plate window of Mr.. Levy's dry goods
store on the north side of the street. For.
tunately for Mr.. Levy, however, the rear
axle of what was then left of the wagon,
struck hitching post and one of the
wheels rolled into the store, but did no
damage.
But the maddened horses did not halt.
On they went up Second avenue to
Eighteenth street. and they were dashing
for the window of Li5erman's clothing
store when they were checked. The fall
from the wagon stunned Mr.. Crawford so
much that for the moment he lost con-
seriousness. He soon recovered, however,
and started in pursuit of his team. He
was bruised considerably about the head
and left shoulder, and his hand was
badly cut and sprained. Nothing serious,
however. will result from the injuries.
About $s5 win repair the damages to the
wagon, and strange to say, the horses
were not hurt in the least, although they
narrowly escaped colliding with several
vehicles along the road.

Correction.

In the comparative table of the annual
appropriation of the city council for the
years 1884 and IS, published in last
evenings ARGUS, typographical error
made us place the bridge appropriation
for 1884 al $15 900. when it should have
been 81, 500 and the waterworks 81, 800,
where S19, is correct. Although
the total appropriations for this
year are less than last. The average of
1884 will run below the '85 appropria-
tons. In 1894 the city had the Cramer law
suit TO contend with, which increased the
water works fund, and therefore enlarged
the total appropriations more than they
would otherwise have been.
