Shall Postmasters be Elected.

Mr.. Roswell p. Flower announces
his intention to present bill in Con-
gress ''relegating the selection OF post
masters, custom house officials aud In
ternal revenue collectors to the people
of the vicinsge wherein their duties are
performed. He maintains that Con.
gress should provide for the election of
these officials every four years, and
that the power of the President should
be restricted to removal for cause.
Mr.. Flower probably means TO pro-
pose an amendment of the Constitution
of the United States for the accom-
plishment of the end he seeks. So far
as postmasters are concerned it certain.
lv would be a desirable chance, on
many accounts, if they could be elected
by the people instead of appointed by
the President or Postmaster General.
10 all the towns and villages of the
country the postmaster is the official
nearest to the people. He should fully
posses their confidence, and above all
public officers should be acceptable to
the majority of the citizens. The evil
of the large and constantly growing
patronage of the President is conct ded
and the scramble for the post offices is
its very worst feature. 1t occupies the
time Of Senators and Congressman as
well as of the Administration, obstructs
the public business and is prolific so.
urce of corrution in politics. At the
same time the appointing power too
often selects man Objectionable to
the people for the very reasons that
make him the choice of the politicians.
Congressman Flowers proposition
will find favor with the public, but il
is not likely to be favorably received at
Washington at the present time. How
ever, it is subject on which the people
need educating and Mr. Flowers eff
orts will not be wasted.--Nationai

Animal Intellect.

The Davenport Democrats Gazette of
this morning relates a remarkable in
stance of brute instinct and intelligence
as follows: q
A demonstration of the natural in
stiDcts of horse was well shown last
week by two well>bred three-year old
horses stolen from Mrs. Mary Chandler,
residing near Iowa City. Two strangers
drove into Agency City. having with
them the two young horses. A number
of citizens had tracked the men from a
barn near the town and suspecting that
the horses were stolen, had the parties
arrested. One proved to be a man who
had been in the penitentiary and the oth>
er was unknown. They we're both taken
to Ottumws and jailed. There was no
proof TO hold them, but their
captors were not discouraged.
The horses were bridled and refined
up TO the sursiugles so they could not
feed by the road and were turned loose
into the street early Wednesday morning.
and they started homeward. The cons
stable In the village and farmer fol-
lowed them. The horses took the back
track through Agency City. avoided the
main road, crossed Skunk river by sell
dom used ford, and took a northeast.
course. The constable and farmer fol-
lowed them till dark, and then put up for
the night. The horses started early
Thursday morning and passed through
Iowa City at sunset. 1t was getting dark
when they stopped and neighed at
Mrs. Chandler's barn ward When
the gates were opened they walked
direct to the barn door. The
horses were fully identified By Mrs.
Chandler, who had hso the sheriff send
out circulars. A warrant was at once
secured and within ten hours after their
arrival deputy sheriff and the Wapello
constable were on the train for Ottumwa.
The horses had been about eighty miles
from home and part of the territory over
which they travelled was covered with
brush and timber. The animals followed
the path over which they were taken
when stolen, so closely, that several
places where the thieves had made their
camp for the night was recognized by
the constable and farmer.

L. the street superintendent and the
Committee Doing Proper Duty IA
Delay that should Not be Longer
Tolerated.
A great many people are beginning to
wonder why it is that the resolution oil
the city council at its last meeting, in
structing the the superintendent of streets
to ascertain why the sidewalks on Second
avenue between Fourteenth aud Twenti'
eth streets are not built, and report the
same to the street and alley committee.
which is ordered to build the same with
out delay, is not properly complied with.
Aid. Evans resolution 30 providing was
an excellent one and it is surprise that
it should be so generally ignored. The
question is, who is to blame2 Is the
street superin tendent derelict in his duty.
or has he so much to do as to make him
"tired?" Or is it the street committee that
is to blame? There are walks along Sec
ond avenue, within the district specifi-
cally referred to that are disgrace to the
city. Most of the property holders have
complied with the ordinances promptly.
but there are those who are dilatory. and
these are the ones the late resolution is
intended to apply to. The city is per-
haps to blame itself for setting bad ex-
ample in permitting the walks about
Union square to remain untouched.
There has been great deal of unneces-
sary delay in this respect, and the street
and alley committee is to blame for it.
Abundant time has elapsed for the new
filling to settle, and unless work is
pushed very rapidly now frost will pre-
vent its being done this fall. This and
other necessary sidewalk improvements.
should be attended to at once, and all
walks put in good shape before cold
weather. The street committee. as well
as the street superintendent, has duties to
perform in this matter that there should
be a full realization of.

and.
Telegraphic news came from Chicago
today of the death there from heart dis
ease Of Rev. Father Joseph P. Roles, for
many years pastor of st. Joseph's Catho-
lie church here, and Father Thomas
Mackin's immediate predecessor. De-
ceased was born in England and was
fifty seven years of age. His first
church was in Nova Scotia; afterward
he had charge of New York parish
and later in charge of the Roman Catho,
lie cathedral at Chicago. From there he
came here in 1865. The parish then
worshipped in the present St. Mary's
church on Fourth avenue and Twenty
second street. During his pastorate the
present St. Joseph's on Second avenue
and Fourteenth street, was purchased,
and he also built the rectories. both
of the present st. Mary's and of
st. Joseph's. He remained here eight
years, when he was called to st. Mary's
at Chicago. one of the largest Roman
Catholic parishes in the west.
He was linguist. speaking the French
and German languages fiuently. and he
was scholar in philosophy and theo,
logy. He was beloved by his parishioners
and very highly respected by people out-
side of his own church. some of our
most prominent citizens enjoying his
companionship and friendship. When
the first bishop of the Davenport See was
elected he was prominently talked of for
the Office.
Father Mackin will attend the funeral,
which will probably be held in Chicago
Friday.

BASE BALL PROSPECTS.
Rock Island and Moline May have q
GOOD Let que Nine Next Year The
Plan TALKED or

Rock Island ana Moline May have q
GOOD Let que Nine Next Year The
Plan Talked of.
The ARG is has on different occasions
heretofore, spoken of the probability of
Rock Island and Moline uniting in a
movement ooking to the securing jointly
of good ball team next season. If the
Interstate league which proved so sue
cessful in general respects this season.
should be recognized next season, it
would be very desirable to have a nine
from this locality. Davenport will, Of
course, not be admitted to the Inter-
state or any other league after its baby
act at the close of the season. when il
had the remnant pretty safely bagged
Indeed it is doubtful if that city will at
tempt to enter any league next season; so
this would give Rock Island and Moline
an excellent field for good club.
The plar now being talked of is to
form a company composed partly of Rock
Island and Moline capitalists, organize
this fall in time to sign some of the
players bel ore they are all provided for
and to seek admission into whatever
league the locality would come within
the jurisdiction of. The success of such
a venture financially as well as in point of
sport afforded can be readily foreseen
With grounds located somewhere near
the bouudir line between the two cities
and accessible to both lines OF street cars
and reached by cars every seven and a
half minutes and with the advantage of
the bridge line from Davenport,
the enterprise would surely win
as far rs patronage is concerned-es>
pecially, too, if some of this years Dav-
export players who are favorites here as
well as in Davenport could be secured, as
they no doubt could.
The matter has not assumed definite
shape as vet. but let our base ball admir-
ers here and in Moline talk it over and it
is a safe presumption that practical
plan can he arrived at that will give us
good ball next year. This has been the
first year n good many that Rock ISL
and has not had more or less really first
class gamss, and il has not been before in
years that ball has been such fiat fail
ure, though the public has contributed
quite literally to make it otherwise. But
it has been the management, not the
PLAYERS, that has been responsible for the
failure
