AFITTING TESTIMONIAL.

MANAGER HARTzELL, OF THE UNION
STREET RAILWAY, sURPRIsED-wATCH
PRESENTATION
The band of Augustana college came
up last evening and serenaded Col
Hartzell, the manager of the Union street
railway, and family. This was the first
surprise. The musicians then entered
the mansion and played several pieces
there. delighting small audience, after
which Alderman Lundy, of Rock Island
was introduced. and in a neat speech
told Col Hartzell that few of his
friends had interviewed him for the purs
pose of congratulating him on the sue
cessfu accomplishment of his last great
work-the line of railway uniting Moline
and Rock 1sland-which will prove of so
much benefit financially, and otherwise
to those who reside IN its neighborhood
in both cities. 1t binds the two cities to-
gether with another iron band, and had
1t not been for your vim and vigor, sue
cess might not have crowned the efforts
to perform what was considered by many
an impossibility. We are here tonight,
colonel, to present to you a souvenir of
the regard in which on are held by those
in your employ. No money but that con-
tributed by those whose hands, though
caloused by labor, have warm hearts,
have been used in procuring this
present 1t was bought from the pock-
els of those who labored under you
during the building of this road and |
now present you this elegant gold watch
hoping as you go onward in life you will
remember those who have contributed to
this beautiful and useful article. The
road is praised from every source and it
might be well to say you had in Alder
man Atkinson an able assistant.
Col. Hartzell though not often lacking
in words to express his feelings could
say but little in response. He was pleas
ed TO find he was appreciated, and proud
TO know that those who assisted him to
build this road and knew some of the
difficulties encountered and overcome had
made him the beautiful present, This
act leaves an impression on the mind
which never shall be forgotten. He
| thanked them also on behalf Of his wife
and daughter, who also felt proud be-
cause of the receipt of this valuable time
piece. and of the source from which it
came.
After the presentation, lunch was SER
we'd and very sociable time enjoyed by
those present till away toward the
noon of night, when special car took
back to Rock Island those who reside
there.

A Good Investment

Anyone who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety % government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
| which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide Of immi>
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to a soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
| capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land easy term of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him 10
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for a safe place TO
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are FARM
er and want farm of your own, call on
me and see what l have TO offer. will

Mr.. Hurst says so, and he ought to know.

The morning nOnentjty actually makes
us tired, though there is consolation in
the fact that We have Weakened it up fol

not have animation enough to hunt up
original matter Here Is the article
which appeared in last Wedncs,

Union pretends to reply this morning;
1t is understood that the present polit>
icaI campaign is to be made more inter-
esting by Joint debate between Messrs
E. W Hurst aud NJ. N. Sturgeon. Boil
gentlemen are said TO be agreed and both
heing shining lights in their respective

have good effect especially with the

pened in Mr.. Hursl's office Wednesday

knows nothing Mr.. Hurst,knows it was {

he told the Union anything that would
warrant such an accusation. If it wert
necessary, the ARGUS would prove to the
Union BY Mr.. Hurst that a challenge
actually passed, aud that Mr.. Hurs
accepted It.

GLADSTONE

Success means success. There is no
larger word to use. Mr. Gladstone has
his weaknesses, but there is a kind of
apparent weakness that is really strength
When he went out, after the SOudan
failures and the emergency threatening
India, he did not so much effect his own
humiliation as the confusion of his ops
ponents What better could he have
done for his cause than has been done?
He has obliged his enemies 20 testify to
and contribute to his strength. He went
down on little local question, and he
could not have planned better his tenn
porary but inevitable failure If one
must fall it is better to 60 down with as
little suddenness and sensation as posi-
BILE And he regains his old position
without any sacrifice of consistency. He
fell merely to resume. No man has
more at heart the interests of Ireland
than he. 1t has always been his place 10
give Ireland her rights as fast and ms far
as that might be safely done When the
murders of Phoenix Park were done, it
was Mr.. Gladstone's purpose TO give Ire
land such push ahead as would have
astonished and made indignant every
English landlord. The murders men
toned made all that impossible. The
Rossas succeeded in doing the anti-Irish
work to which they are evidently
pledged. Let us hope that they will not
succeed in their diabOlism this time. Let
Mr. Gladstone have his way. and, alike rs
IA matter of principle matter of justice
and matter of political policy, Ireland
will make all the progress it can reasona-
bly, demand throughout his administra-
ton. Mr. Purnell is acting admirably
Lit the Irish people have all confidence
in him, but let them also have all conf
dence in that splendid statesman and Just
man, MIR. Gladstone.
