Officer Harris handed in his star and

old business-that of auctioneer. Harris,
it is understood, has been for sometime.
upon the consent of the marshal, con
sumng time in auCtioneering through
out the county, that rightfuliy belonged
to the city, and though this has gotten
him into trouble, Harris should not be
blamed for doing anything that his chief
gives him permission to. The marshal
is the head of the force, and should he re-
sponsble for the service and conduct Of
every one of his men. He has often al
lowed Harris to 90 scOoting over the

1t has been quietly whispered around
that the republican county committee
have given up all hopes of elect;ng W.
II. Gest to congress, and during the re
mainder of the campaign will devote
their entire and concentrated attention to
boosting Parson Morgan to the front
The one cry among the republican
strikers is, anything to beat Silvis. ,
They have waged an active and virulcnt
campaign against him from the start, and
now they are are preparing for II last
desperate charge. So far the popular
candidate of the people has been proc
against all attacks, aud as election day
approaches, his ranks are becoming even
more solidifed. From the day of his
nomination he has never relinquisEed his
lead in the race. The ARGUS admires his
gallant fight, and now, little over q
week from the second day of November,
is more sanguine than ever that Thomas
Sharp Silvis will be the next sheriff OF
Rock Island county.

NOT GUILTY.


The jury in the Monmouth picnic"
case rendered the following verdict yes
terday morning: I'VE. the jury. find the
defendants. j. II. Pattee, II. D, Harding
Sam'l Lorimer, Geo. Hill, ]. v Pang-
born. J. T. Reichard, Fannie Eastin,
Hattie Butler and Laura Cannon, not
guilty"
All those who had been on trial for
disorderly conduct and other char
ges at the picnic" at Olmstead's mill on
July 18th, last, were thus acquitted, as
the states attorney had previously entered
nolle pros in the cases of Mrs. Hoon,
J. E. Cornell and Lotlie Butler. Chas
Carr, the other one of the thirteen, was
never on trial, having moved from the
state soon after the picnic"
The Monmouth Evening Gazette says
this in reviewing the case:
What do you think of the verdict" is
the question being asked. That the
jurors think it was right goes without
saying. and they were sworn to render a
true verdict according to the evidence. 1t
is also easy TO decide that the defendants
| agree with the jurors. and it is no more
than natural that they should feel graft
fed at the result. The charges against
them were serious and they have been
acquitted. Among other people opinions
are various. The bare back riding and
the sporting in the stream like mermaids
and mermen, are generally regarded as
the visions of excited imaginations or as
| the deliberate lies of men like Walters.
Thus have the romantic and exaggerated
rumors about the celebrated picnic van =
iShed.
There Is an opinion among others that
| there was a picnic there. as the defense
itself testified to, and that there was
beer drinking. swearing, and noise that
disturbed the peace. The difficulty that
was encountered by the Jurors in being
satisfied beyond reasonable doubt il
any individual case that the charges, OF
any one of them were true, is easily seen.
1t was difficult, for instance, to fix upon
any one particular instance of drinking
or other bad conduct. There is no great
surprise at the verdict.

REPUBLICAN METHODS.

COAL VALLEY, Oct. q.
On Yesterday the republicans raised
flag pole. aud in the evening held meet
ing in the Welsh church. 1t had been
billed for a couple of DAYS that A. r.
Morgan and Messrs Jackson and Graves
would speak, but jackson did not appear
There was a comfortably filled house
The first was song by the Glee club.
Then T. j. Murphy introduced the par
son. He opened by addressing the
ladies on the chaste manner in which re-
Publican meetings were conducted since
ministers had entered the political field;
that they could be present and not hear
an obscene phrase. He elaborated in
moral ethics, metaphysics, etc, for TWEEN
ty minutes. He spoke of republican and
democratic forms of government Ours
was not republican, because the ballot
was suppressed from the masses and
minorities ruled in some cases. That
the wisdom of the fathers was in advance
of all countries, and would not be ex,
ceeded for the next thousand years He
said the labor question was one he could
not show how to work out. He took
up the the tariff; declared he was a rank
protectionist; that our government had
paid more wages by 1854, 100000 in
twenty-five years, under republican rule
than for ten under democratic. That We
pay $50, 900, 900 a year for tin to England
when We have extensive fields of
it in the far west. He enter
ed into a long defense that minis
ter was a fit man TO run for. and I'LL Off
ces. That they had moral courage and
brains, and should be elevated to places
of honor and trust. He had been work

Mr.. Graves was next introduced and
spoke for an hour He commenced with

would only get $4,000 salary in the term
if he succeeded. He went back to the re.
cord of Mr.. Neece. He said twenty years
ago he was a prohibitionist. and now
he was a whisky man. that he had not re

ON PENSIONS.
Congressman Neece on Big Pensions
for Officers Widows and small
Pensions for the Widows
of Priyates.

In congress, when bill was up to III.
crease the pension Of a major generals
widow from $50 month, which she had
been drawing, to $50 month, the follow
ing occurred;
Mr. Neece:-'I do not see any reason
for discriminating between these cases.
cannot see why one mans widow is bet
ter than another am opposed to this
class of legislation. This whole land is
filled with widows whose husbands went
out under the first call for seventy five
thousand men. and under the subsequent
calls The men staid in the service and
followed Sherman to the sea, and when
they died left little families of children
TO be cared for and educated. | object
to making any distinction between them,
rs | am not able to see any good reason
for doing SO. do not want to enter any
factious opposition to the passage Of
this bill, but do want to enter protest
against this class of legislation, this kind
of discrimination | think il is doing a
great wrong to the entire country.
favor pensioning every soldier or sol
dier's widow in the land who is entitled
to pension. but If few are to be sing
led out and have a greater pension or an
extra pension, why then there is wrong
done to the others or to somebody. Be-
sides, we are building up favored class
by legislation at the expense of the mass
of the people, Hence, Mr. Chairman, |
enter my protest against the whole sys
tenn.
Mr.. Bragg:-"Would not that apply
to salaries of members of congress a:
well?"
Mr.. Niece: you are going TO TAXI
up the case of i single member of con
gress aud give him special salary IL
excess of the others, | agree with you
that it would apply to him. Ii my frienC
thinks that members of congress as
class get too much salary. or that thei
pay is too high, let him show his hand tt
reduce their pay
Mr. Bragg i am ready to SHOW N.
hand now, aud say that l do not thinl
they get enough pay" Laughter
Mr.. Neece We will have no quarre
about that.
Mr.. Price:-'I fully agree with tn
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Neece) an'
the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. John
SOM that these Determinations in grant
ing pensions ought not to exist thin
the time has come when such leglslatio
ought to be stopped. | agree with ther
further that we ought not to vote 70
them"
Later on. Mr.. Bingham, of PennSylva
MIA. was claiming that this widow wa
poor and deserving, when our membe
Clipped in again as follows:
Mr.. Neece:-'I will ask the gentlema
from Pennsylvania why does this max
this widow any better than any othe
soldiers widow"
Mr.. Bingham admitted that it did not
but he then claimed that congress ha
set frequent precedents for such increase
Mr.. Neece:-"I Just want to say tha
so far as | am concerned those precedent
do not govern me, and will not so lon
as my Judgment remains as it is now.
believe precedent that makes dIstint
ton between citizens of this country be
fore the law is wrong, and will not fol
low it in any instance"
But the discussion went on by Othel
until the bill Was passed.

Lieut.. Schwatka of this city, who was
in Rock Island the latter of the week on
his way east has been interviewed by a
Chicago Tribune reporter, and that pape
gives the lieutenant's voyage of discovery
in Alaska AS detailed by himself as fol-
lows;
Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka of Arctic
exploration notoriety was at the Leland
Yesterday. He has just returned from
Alaska. He said he was quite amused at
the controversy of two New York news
papers over his discovery of the Jones
river, Alaska. Zone paper says there is
no such river" went on the lieutenant,

a new name. am just going to try and
catch the train else | would show you
the truth Of my discovery, but you can
say that the Jones river is a new discov>
cry, that l followed it for thirty miles,
that it is not down on any record or map
but that it will be on every official map
of this country and be recognized the
world over"
Lieut.. Schwatka started out at the head
of a private expedition sent out last
spring for Alaska The mission was OF
an exploring character purely, to make
an ascent of Mt ST. Elias, which is 10, SOC
feet high. He had party of about
twelve men with him. including Indians
and all. Mr. Schwatka said that the ex'
pedition was entirely successful, in i'll
object, or reasonably SO; that they
climbed the mountains to the height Of
1920 feet and were prevented from 60
ing higher on account of the clouds
The snow line is at the base of the noun
tain and several miles of glacier had to be
traversed before the party reached th,
base prior to the ascent. They were foul
days in making the ascent Mr.. Schwat
ka said that the expedition would not bt

of Alaska except the coast line. The
lieutenant said that its resources were
great but that some interests, like tina,

certain. Other interests or products are
he said, thoroughly assured, but need de
velopment. The fisheries he mentioned
among other things, as very promising
but needed population along the Pacific
coast to develop the enterprise. The ful

as a neighbor, many others as fellow

to be strictly temperate, thoroughly hon

never been an active politician. In
