More Money.

Capt. John PeetZ Supervisor Arthur
Burial and W. o. Negus, ESQ, who have
been soliciting funds 10 aid in pushing
the Hennepin canal project, have reported
to the Business Mems association and
$500 has been forwarded to Washington
to enable Major J. NJ Beardslev and Mr.
B. D. Buford to prolong their stay in
Washington and continue their efforts for
the canal project.
The above will strike many-as indeed
great many have been impressed already
as not the fair thing to do. The dele
gates who are now in Washington are
working for the good of the canal, each
and all of them, and discrimination at
this late day as to who is of the most ser
vice to the measure is not right nor Just.
The board of supervisors voted $500 to-
wards defrayiIg the delegates expenses,
sending Sheriff Reticker as the county s
representative. The other three gentle
men were appointed by the mayor They
were all sent for common purpose-to
boom the canal project-and in forward
ing funds to them no discrimination or
preference should be shown If money
is sent to one it should be sent to all
This is time when Partially should not
be INDUCED in.

LAROR AND THE CANAL.
The Hennepin Measure Endorsed by
the Knights OF LabOr...A Mem.
Orial to Congress.

Freedom assembly Knights of Labor of
this city has adopted II memorial to con-
gress upon the Hennepin canal, which is
being endorsed bSsthe Knights of Labor
all over the United States. Following is
the memorial:
To the Honorable the Senate and the House of
Representatives OF the United States:
WHEREAS. The problem of alleviat>
ing the distress everywhere prevalent
among the laboriug classes of the civil
lied world is universally considered the
most important question of the hour-a
problem that has demanded and received
the immediate attention of the leading
governments of Europe, and
WHEREAS, Owing to the dSplace~
ment of labor by the invention of labor
saving machinery and to laws which
foster monopoly and divide society into
two hostile classes. the real rich and the
real poor, the condition of the laboring
people of this republic is 10 many respects
worse than in the countries of Europe
so deDlorable in fact, that the Bureau of
labor statistics of the state of Illinois in
its Official report for the year 1882, de-
clares as An indisputable deduction from
carefully compiled statistics. that the
average earnings of the heads of families
for the entire list of occupations is less
than the general average of living-a
condition of hopeless destitution and re-
lentless poverty tina. demands the immed-
late attention of the national governs
ment.
Therefore, B. it resolved, by the labor
ing men of America in the Lodges of the
Knights OF Labor assembled, that we who
labor 10 fair weather and in foul and CON
tribute daily and willingly to the wealth
| of others and of the world are at least en-
titled to an opportunity OF securing food
for our children, the ordinary comforts of
life and fair expectation of shelter aud
respose for our declining years.
Reso'ped. That in time of depression the
general government should make liberal
appropriation OF the surplus revenue for
the construction of works of internal im>
provement and national Importance, and
redistribute among the people IN the form
VI Wages III inc NdullS VI
the treasury that have been taken from
the people by taxation on what they eat
| and on what they wear
Resosoed, That we heartily indorse the
plan Tor the construction OF the Hennepin
Canal by the general government as an
undertaking OF national Importance and
necessity, an improvement that will Il OF
only benefit thousandsof needy men pend
ing the construction, but one which
will furnish employment for all
time to thousands engage in a
vast system of internal water
traffic between New Orleans, St. Paul and
New York; that will present an insur>
mountable check to the greed of the
monnpoies; that will give cheaper bread
10 the east and cheaper goods 10 the west,
that will stimulate commerce, industry
and agriculture everywhere in this great
republic.
Res0lcsd. That our representatives, 10
congress are hereby urged to consider
this, and like projects, questions of para
mount and immediate impor lance, and to
actin accordance with the spirit of these re-
| solutions

Obedience in subordinate positions is
the first requisite if it is the aim to make
success N life. The ARGUS devil is full
ly conscious of this fact, as was demon
strated the other afternoon. The papers
for the Moline department of the ARGUS
are sent up on the Bushnell accommoda>
ton, which leaves Rock Island at 4:30
each afternoon. Promptness is also es
sential to success, and it is seldom that
the ARGUS fails to come out on time, but
mishaps are likely to occur in the best
regulated households, and On the after>
noon IN question a portion of the APP
paratus in the press room became dis
placed. 1t was evident that while the &C
cdent was not a serious one and could
be readily adjusted, the train would go
without the Moline papers that night
but the manager, by way of Joke, told
the devil to fly with all possible haste to
the C., b, Il Q, depot and have the train
stopped. The managers attention was
at that moment directed to something
else, and minute later the devil came
putting and painting into thspress room i.
whats the natter" inquired the man ,
ager.
The train would not wait"
''What train"
Why, the 4:3O train. | told the en-
glneer what you said, but he said he
could not wait longer than 4:30 for the
ARGUS or anybody else, so came back
to see what to do next"
The manager took in the situation in
an instance. The devil had not stopped
to question the propriety of his orders
but had done what he was told. The
manager complmented him on his
obedience, and said no more about it
But the press boys think they have a
good one on the devil
