The New Rafter.

The steamer Irene D., the new boat
that has beed talked SO much about,
brought raft over the rapids Saturday.
The Irene is trim built craft and is I'M
doubtedly the fastest boat on the upper
river. She is made without an upper
deck or cabin and presents an odd ap-
pearance. Her wheel has eight foot
stroke, which is more than that of any
other boat on the upper Mississippi. The
sleeping berths will be in the hold, which
is made large enough for that purpose
The captain says that for work he don't
want a cabin, as it is bound to catch
more or less wind and impede the speed

CareIessness in Handling the Fleugel
Small Pox Case--Members of the
Family Have Mingled With Others
Necessity Of Vaccination.
1t is astonishing how much carelesness
is shown in the guarding of the Fluegel
small pox case. Health Commissioner
Plummer said this morning that the pa
tient was not in critical condition and
the case was of mild form. The public
is not so much interested in the provis-
ions for the welfare of Fluegel as it is
proper precaution being taken to confine
the pest to Fluegel, VITO has brought it
to Rock Island. and in this the authors
ties have been responsible for much care
lessness. A quarantine has been placed
about the house. but the Waterman, the
neighbors claim, is not properly discharg
ing his duty, it having been reported that
two of Fluegels boys went to Milan to
fish yesterday and rode both ways on
Rock Island & Milan street car. The
ARGUS is also reliably informed that since
the placing of the quarantine, one of the
girls of the family has been sent to
grocery for provisions and that one
of the girls went to dance last Saturday
night. If these marks of recklessness are
true, it is simply an outrage upon the
public that they are allowed. 1t is much
better that this one family be inconven-
fenced for time and until all danger is
passed, than that the public should be
exposed to this terrible pest.
As it is. there is considerable danger of
the disease spreading, and no one is par
ticularly to blame for it. as the Fluegal
family mingled with others constantly up
to the time the case was pronounced
One of the girls. who is domestic in &
well known family. went home nightly
until last Friday night when the house

The case may be of mild form, but i
is every whit as likely to spread as if i

can be taken is to rigidly and vigilantl.

Bishop Walden, of Cincinnati,
preached q very able sermon at the First
NJ. E. church, yesterday morning His
text was from Isaiah, SO:
For unto US child is born; unto US a aon is
given, etc:
The language of the text, the bishop
said. brings to mind the most interesting
events of the home, and he then spoke of
the gratitude and love with which the
new light is welcomed, and the anniver>
sary of the occasion is made season of
rejoicing 1t was the association with
this text and the practical realization OF
the home blessings of similar nature
that makes men think of the Importance
of this one particular child alluded to-
1t was to the whole world that this
child was born. 1t was therefore an
event far-reaching and irrepressible in its
| importance, and without an unexplainable
mystery. The relationship of that child
to us should bring him very near TO ever.
heart. A part of Gods flesh sent to eacl
to be associated with humanity. AL
children, the bishop held are born mem
bers of the kingdom Of God and it is thu
highest function of parents to train thes
members of the kingdom of God to theil
heirship, to train immortals for tn
blessed immortality.
| The idea was to impress upon parent
the wisdom and necessity of training
their children in the proper paths an,
fitting them for the purposes for which
thep we're intended. The bishop is yer
pleasant speaker, not exactly el0quen,
yet with practical manner that carrie

Congress has just enacted that pen
sions heretofore or hereafter granted
to widows of soldiers of the War of
the Rebellion shall commence at the
date of the death of their husbands.
This legislation favorably affects all
claims of widows of the late war
which have been filed in the Pension
Office on or after July /, 1880, and
which have been allowed to commence
from the date of filing the claims but
will not favorably affect the cases of
such widows as were filed before July
1, 1880, and which have been allow
ed, pension having already been grant
ed in those cases from the date of
their husbands death. The Com
missioner of Pensions gives notice
that in the settlement of claims, I'M
der this law, already allowed, no for
NAL application will be required, and
that the services of attorneys will not
be necessary. Widows entitled I'M
der said law need only write letter
giving name, post-office address, and
certificate number, and the claims will
be allowed with as little delay as
practicable.

Unmitigated Humbuggery.

That's the Mills tariff bill, and all
that has been said in its favor. What
consummate fools its advocates must
think the mass of the people are.
That's just what they do think and
what they rely upon. Cox of New
York, he of the "Sun Set" cognomen,
said, in his place in the house, that
he wanted salt free in order that the
people might have a cheap breakfast.
Bah! Free salt and taxed sugar
That's the way to have a cheap break
fast. 1t seems as if these fellows
would get tired some of these days
and crawl off in the shade and rest.
Last year the duty collected on salt
was S676, $1,000 while that collected
on sugar and molasses amounted to
S5S, 0l6,6S6.S4. Salt is northern
production. Sugar is southern pro-
duction. The North is pretty solidly
Republican. The South is very solid
ly Democratic. "Sun Set" thinks
he knows whose OK to gore, but he
may be mistaken. However, as he
undoubtedly has great love for the
dear people, perhaps he would have
them breakfast on free salt, take wa
ter for dinner, and by thus living
cheaply through the day, they could
afford to sup on taxed sugar. Apro-
pos of cheap breakfast, coffee was
put upon the free list by Republi-
can Congress in 1888, and, if our
memory serves us right, majority of
the Democrats voted against it. 0,
a good many funny things have hap
pened in this connection, and they
are going to be told of before this
is ended.

regarded as two old for his cabinet.
The platform re- affirms the tariff plank
of 1884 with Cleveland's last message

the efforts of the party in Congress
to revise the tariff. 1t is an incom-
