W estsru WATERWAYS,

Among the reports submitted to the
United States senate, yesterday, was one
by Senator Cullem for the committee sp
pointed to investigate the subject of The
regulation of freight and passenger rates.
The subject of competition between va
ter-ways aud railroads is discussed briefly.
and the conclusion is reached that water
ways are the most effective regulators Of
railroad charges, and the emancipation OF
the waters is a national necessity. The
improvement of the Mississippi ard it,
tributaries is briefly alluded to and warm
! ly indorsed OF the Henaepin canal. Ii,
committee says that the uommerc
OF the nation would derive fresl
and continued advantages from lii
construction of the canal. The repor
continues:
/ Cheap transportation between Chicacl
and the seaboards is assured BY the lin
OF free water communications opel
through the great lakes, the Erie can n
and the Hudson, and no method has beef
suggested by which the controlling in
flueuce of that water competition coul
be extended over so wide, populols, am
productive territory at 50 moderate al
expense as by constructing this shor
canal of seventyfour miles. which wouI,
give TO the people of the upper Mississ
ippi states direct water transit connection
with all the states of the Atlantic seaboar

SUBJECTS OF CHARITY.
Those Best Qualified to Look After the
City's Po6r..-Nunicipal DRty
at this Time.

Manager c. c. Knell. of Harpcr's the
atre, has reconsidered his intention as to
the disposition of the funds realized by
the performance of rip Van Wrinkle, ;"
and has given the handsome sum of $50
to the Ladies' Relief society for the bene-
fit of the poor. This portion of the
charity fund--half of the amount real-
ized-is now placed where it should ali
have gone in the first place. We do not
purpose to cast reflection on Overseer
Koch, but in the opinion of the ARGUS,
the Ladies Relief society should have the
disposing of the entire amount, as they
are best qualified to know the actual
needy Of the city There are people in
Rock Island today who are suffering tor
bread and fuel, and have been for wears,
yet pride has prevented them from mak>
ing their situation known 10 the county
overseer, They look upon it as Il
disgrace to be cared for by the
county. 1t is this class of people
that ought to be cared for with this fund,
and it is this class that the ladies are best
capable of knowing The ladies 90 out
among the poor Of the city and can see
for themselves who the poor and needy
are, while the oyerseer must be sought
by the poor. 1t is a great deal easier to
confess poverty than 10 plead it, and fol
this reason the ladies can better judge
who are deserving OF the charity fund
than an official who is paid 10 look after
the county poor and has an appropriation
at his hands TO, that purpose There i:
no doubt but Mr.. Koch will dispose Of
the money placed in his hands according
TO his best judgment, and would doubt
less furnish the ladies' valuable informa
ton in their work OF charity. but the la
dies should have the dispensing Of tht
entire amount
There are in the city today grea'
number of able bodied men. whose fam
lilies are in need. and many have Team,
which are suffering for grain This is th'
case every winter, and for these the city
should provide some means of support

Dennis Warren's Rough Experience
With Tramps, on His Farm
Near Milan.

Dennis Warren ESQ.,, who lives by him>
self on his farm three miles west OF Milan,
had a rough experience with three tramps
while alone on his premises last Sunday
afternoon. II was about 4 O'Clock, when
as Mr.. Warren was entering his barn,
he was confronted by three men.
strangers to him, wno seized him,
threw him to the ground and bound
him hand and foot and dropped him IN a
heap in the corner of his barn, where they
left him while they went in and ransacked
the house in search of plumber. They
helped themselves to the pantry stores
and went through the various drawers in
the bureau, but when they attempted to
opea the safe, were fooled.
In the meantime, however, Mr. War
rem. after two hours eXerlions, succeed
ed in extricating himself and he hurried
over to neighbours house, sud the two
proceeded with great haste to Mr.. War
ren's house, As they entered AT the
front door the maraudcrs pat ont in the
rear, and escaped across the fields. ln
their flight one OF the tramnS dropped a
glove which neighbor is sure was worn
by harvester on Mr. Warren's farm
last summer, and by this it is hoped the
rogues will be caught The probabili>
ties arc that the intention Of the tramps
knowing as they apparently did-that
Mr.. Warren resided by himself, was to
leave their victim in the barn until after
dark and then compel him to disclose the
combination to the safe. that they might
ransact its contents.
Mr.. Warren believes his ASSISTANTS live
in the upper end of the county, and says
he would recognize them if he saw them
agaiG. He sold tract of land near Mo
line Saturday for $1,000, and he believes
the men knew that the money was in his
house,
