friend, of taking the front in this matter
did they raise any objections when we
went to the front in 1862.
The ARGUS made no charges against
the post as body, but it spoke its own
mind and the sentiment of great many
others, when it accused some members of
the post of acting improperly in the mat
ter of reserving seats.
What the ARGUS objected to was the
fact of one individual reserving more
seats than he actually needed. There
should have been limit to the number
given to each person, and then there |
would have been no ground for com
plant. The Argus criticised the lack of |
courtesy on the part of certain |
who were members of Bu-
ford post, aud it believes that criticism
was Just.
The purpose for which the opera is to
1s.a.o2iven is a most deserving one, and
should have large house. The post has
made many ventures of this kind in the
past, and not always with the most en-
results. A number one attrac-
ion has been secured this time. it being
he most popular opera of the day, has
.ready been given by the company
which is to present it twice to inn
nense audiences in the Burtis opera s
ouse at Davenport, and the people of
rock Island in patronizing it will not

HE LIKES ROCK ISLAND.


MIR. a. a. Cass, OF the Great Boot and
shoe House, Is FavOrabIy Impressed
with the city.
Mr.. A. A. Cass, of Chicago, represent
ing the great boot and shoe factory,
which, as has been heretofore IN entioned
in the ARGUS, is soon to remove from
Chicago, was in the city yesterday in con-
ference with number of Rock Islands
representative business men, with view
of accepting. if all things are satisfactory,
the generous proposition the Business
Mems association made to the enterprise.
An ARGUS representative had few
minutes talk with Mr.. Cass, just before
his departure for Chicago this noon, and
in reply to the question as to how he was
impressed with Rock Island, he remarked:
From what have seen of your city
and your business men, ! must say, am
very favorably impressed. Your mer>
chants and manufacturers appear to be a
live, energetic, pushing class of men.
Your city certainly presents creditable
appearance to any visitor, and from the
advantages which have been pointed out
to me. am of the opinion that this is
destined to be an important commercial
center. Our factory has Iot decided deN
tnitely as yet, as to its future location,
except that it is to be removed from Chi
cago and that we are considering propO,
sitions from number Of towns
"The points to be considered in decid-
ing upon location" said Mr. Cass in
reply to further question on the part of
the scribe, "are, first shipping facilities
and then the class of men which the town
contains, from whom we can select
hands to he educated into our
peculiar line, We shall employ about 100
men"
From Mr.. Cass' conversation, the re- d
,orter formed the opinion that Rock }
Stand stands about as good show of
,etting the shoe industry, as any com
'eting point.
