Rock ISLAND. May 8.
EDITOR ARGUS: Please allow me q
little space in your columns to show more
facts and proof that old Joe is lying
hypocrite. He lies when he says the
Rock Islander has more Irish subscribers
than it had SIX months ago. Ii old Joe
has that one hundred dollars to spare
that he offered ON a bet few weeks ago
he has chance to make another hun
bred with it by me. proving that instead
Of twenty that can name twenty three
who have stopped taking his dirty sheet.
When he goes fishing again he should be
careful not to catch any more black bass,
and he will get larger mess than before
if he don't stop slandering the Irish
league and the Irish cause.
1t seems that old Joe would like the
people to form the opinion that there is
something wrong with the leagues books
The idea of old Joe claiming to be q
member of the Irish Land League, which
is not in existence But we mustn't
think anything of this for he keeps card

when he claims that his young Pinkerton

want you to understand that he resigned
bis membership long before the land
league was suspended. | notice Joe you
say nothing about 1866. but don't think
that forget it. You think you can tear
asunder the national league as you did
the national greenback party, and then
blame somebody else for it. Joe cant
satisfy his spite on the Hon. P UMara
and p. Ferron without injuring the
league. but we must think nothing of it,
for he is trying to injure whole COM
munity to satisfy his spite on one man,
namely DR.. Craig. There must be some'
thing the matter when old Joe and Fer

Joe, and that is he can answer his owl
questions splendidly and | believe his

and the Rev Father Mackin. and their
sympathy for the Irish cause. as the true
Irishmen of Rock Island do, it is little at.
