Old Joe Is HAD.

Dld Joe is In rage. lie Is IKE good
many other people when they are at war
with themselves. He has said too much
and is cussing himself for doing it. Hay
ing by his own utterances betrayed his
actual convictions, he is now trying to
blame some ore else because Of his own
indscretion. Poor old Joe is in tight
box and is striving o so hard to get out,
but the opening will not admit. and the
smaller all the time. As we said above,
Danforth is mad, ne Is very mad; rs
consequence of which he Is calling every
body who fails to agree with him al idiot
and . liar, as usual Having found that
he has pat his foot into it in publicly
cfiticising the local land league, he tries
to explain himself by saying he has been
u friend TO the Irish cause foi forty years
or So That's too thin. What has be
done? And even if he has done ANYTHING,
does that give him tue night TO assail the
league in public print because something
fails to suit his ideas? Would true
friend of cause, that is striving under
many hardships, lay its faiings before the
public and before the enemies of that
cause? Not much; and the Irish people
are aware of that fact, Danforth says:
We are not hostile to the Irish cause
on the contrary we have always been its
warm, ardent and siacere friend, and eA>
pect to continue while life lasts Bat
when We see its funds mismanagcd or
misappied, be the amount ever SO small,
we shulI be very likely to say 50.
What ridiculously tain argument or
to Use old Joe's own favorite expression,
what an idiotic idea! A friend or the
Irish cause and yet he is giving to pubs
lcly assail it whenever the funds are not
applied according 10 his ideas. If Dan
forth were sincere friend of the Irish
league he would not condemn its leaders
before the world
He publishes this week list of the ex-
penditues of the league on the night Of
the Flnerty meeting amounting to s13.
which includes supper for the invited
guests from Davenport and lodging and
breakfast for the guests from Chicago.
No one yet has been heard to object for
this expense. The league should pay for
the entertainment of its guests, and not d
member of the local organization would
raise his voice in objection to it. But
where is that wine bill tha. old Danforth
said the league footed? He does not
mention that. After accusing Messrs
O'Mara and Cannon OF appropristing the
leagues money in luxuries, such as wine,
etc., and this was the only part of Dan
forth's original attack objected to. he
attempts to smooth matters over by say
ing the league did wrong in suitably en-
tertaining its invited guests. If OLD
Danforth had been invited to Join The
leagues friends that night, he would no
have objected to this expense, but he wa:
stunned as spy and his hostilities-to tn.
Irish cause are not surprising TO thosD
who have known him. Danforth was
friend to the Irish people just so long q
he could use them. but finding that b.
was not receiving due consideration. b.
alta cked the cause in manner that a
sincere friend Of the oppressed peopl
would have done, and his only argumen
to get out of it is idiot -''liar."

THE POPULAR SENTIMENT.
Rock Islands Feeling as to the Ter
minal Point OF the Hennepin
Canal.-.ResOlutiOns.

The committee appointed by the Busi>
ness Mems association last Tuesday to
adopt resolutions expressive of the sen:i-
msnt of Rock Island as to the terminal
points of the Hennepin canal have drawn
up the appended and adopted the same,
with instructions that copies be forward,
ed to our senators and representatives in
congress assembled:
WHEREAS, Bills are pending in both
the senate and house of representative of
the forty ninth congress, providing for
the construction of a canal to complete
waterline from Lake Michigan to the
Mississippi river in accordance with sur
veys made under the act of 1882; and
WHEREAS, Said bills locate the eastern
terminus of said canal "at or near Hen
nepin, on the Illinois river and the
western terminus at or below Rock Isl
and; 1T is hereby
Resoloed, That the Business Mems as
ISOLATION of the city OF Rock Island ex-
pressly approves the terms by which the
termini of said canal are designated as
beng in accordance with the opinions
and conclusions of no less than
four eminent civil engineers who
have made no less than five
several surveys and estimates of the
route; in accordance with the highest
commercial requirements as shown by the
views, memorials and resolutions of many
conventions, commercial bodies and com
mittees; and in accordance with the views
of the promoters of the measure who
have given score or more of years to u
study of the topography of the country,
the requirements of transportation, adj
yautageous connection with river and
railroad routes, and the greatest degree
of usefulness for the canal.
Res0iped, That our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress be requested to
adhere to the terms used in designating
the termni of the canal in the bills now
pending and TO resist any proposition or
amendment designed to change the said
termini or to leave them undetermined, as
against the best interests of the govern,
ment of the United States and the inter
nal commerce of the people,
The committee has also decided to send
$3.50 to Washington at once to be used
BY the canal commission 10 furtherin :
the measure. This Is all the money
available at present, but Additional sums
will be forwarded as fast as obtainable
Rock Island is evidently anxious to dc
its share to secure the proper passage OF
