THE PAVING CONTRACT.

Atkinson 4 Olof Hesitate TO Sign for
Want OF Proper Protection---The
BardoIph Brick.
The ten days have more than elapsed
since the city of Rock Island awarded the
contract of paving Second avenue to
atkinson & Olof. of this city. but up to
noon today the contractors had refused
10 sign the agreement. The gentlemen
claim that while the contract binds them
very closely, it does not sufficiently pro-
tect them in case of litigation or other
emergencies: At meeting of the mayor
and paving committee this morning, how
ever, clause was inserted, pledging the
city to pay for the work as soon as COM
pleted, and this being satisfactory to At.
kinson II Olof, it is more than probable
that the matter will be amicably settled.
The ordinance, as passed at the last
meeting of the city council, limits the
council to the use of either Galesburg or
Bloomington brick. 1t will be Iemem-
bered that he bid with the Bardolph
brick was the cheapest-$1 80 per yard
but the council was not fully posted as
to its merits and did not entertain that
company's proposition. MIR. j. E.
Chandler, secretary of the Bsrdolph Fire
Clay Works, arrived in the city this
morning, and is very anxious that the
council give his brick trial. The Bar
dolph brick has given good satisfaction
wherever in use, and as it is cheaper than
the others, it would seem to be only
proper to include that company in the
list to be selected from.
MIR. Chandler comes armed with the
following endorsements of his brick, the
first letter having been sent to this city
several days ago:
QUINCY. H., June 90. 1SS9;-Mr. P.
l.. Mitchell Rock Island, Ill:-Desr Sir:
Mr.. Chandler of Mscomb, requests me to
write you in relation to the Bsrdolph
brick made by his company
In my letter to You of May 10, l gave
the experien nee of our street railway in
the use of brick paving, but did not say
that we had used the Bardolph brick.
Our observation and experience has
led us to prefer these and We have re-
Gently ordered all we expect TO need this
year from that company. They con-
tinue to give us entire satisfaction and
we think that you will approve them on
use. Yours truly. LORENZO BULL,
Pres. Quincy Horse Railway Co.
QUINCY, H., June %.
10 whom 1t may concern:
For the past six years the city of Quin>
cy, Ill.,, has used large amount of Bar
dolph brick for paving its streets and |
has proved success in all respects, and |
to the entire satisfaction of the public |
We believe for superiority and quality
there is nc better. We cheerfully recom>
mend the Bardolph brick and trust they |
will meet The consideration they so richly |
deserve. Respectfully,

A INSTRUMENTATION.

A writer signing himself "A Comrade
of the G. A. r." in the Union of yester-
day. says In reference to the article in the
ARGUS denouncing the scurrilous attack
upon Catholics that there is 'some mo.
tive for this slur upon the comrades of
the Grand Army" If the writer had
read the article carefully, and wanted to
be fair, he would readily see that we did
not charge the parentsge of the circular
to the Grand Army as a body. The prln-
ciples OF that order are too high and no.
BILE to stoop to such Matchmaking and
disreputable tactics.

WHAT COSTS US.
From the Leayenworth Times.


An evidence that Wichita Is q dead town is the
fact that much attention is now given to beating
prohibition down there as has characterized Leav-
town is whisky be safely wagered that every
thing else is dead.-kansas City Gazette.
This is the opinion of us that is given
to the world by the howlers for whisky
Leavenworth has had healthy growth
in the past few years. There is not a
better town in the state. 1t has natural
advantages possessed by no other city of
| the state. it has live, energetic citizens,
and outside capital has been brought in
to help in its growth The city hasn't
spent its time proclaiming these things
from the housetops as the manner of
some is, but the improvements have been
going right on.
In this time. though. there has been a
class of political bummers who have
stood upon the housetops and shouted
themselves hoarse for whisky, crying
aloud that the salvation of the city
depended upon our getting saloons. And
while the business men have been going
about their business quietly. these noisy
fellows have been heard in the land and
have done us great deal of harm.
If they would keep quiet, then there
would be hope that our true condition
would become known. The men who
are today raising the cry that we must
have saloons are the worst enemies
Leavenworth ever had. All this cry is
for political purposes. 1t is for the pur
pose of holding the whisky element in
the Democratic party. Nothing else.
Can Leavenworth afford to pay such
price for the luxury of Democracy.

A REMARKABLE STATE.

From the Kansas City Star.
The loan and trust companies OF Kan
sas report that the farmers OF that state
are not only meeting their interest more
promptly this fall than at any time dur
ing the past ten years, but that many
of them are paying off their mortgages
and entirely freeing themselves from
debt. 1t is remarkable fact that, with
all of the depression which the agricui-
tural interests of Kansas have suffered
during the past three years. none OF the
loan and trust companies of that state
has gone to the wall or has been COM
PEELED to suspend business. A more sig
nificant commentary upon the substan-
tial character of securities in that state
could not be desired.

hypocritical howl of ''resubmission
made by insincere Democrats in the in
terest of their ring; for, Wichita can get
none of these things, can command none
OF these recognitions when once she is
set down in the Democratic column.
For truth, when it comes to question
of material profit and the future of this
city. the property owners Of Wichita,
whatever their politics, cannot afford to
have this city. in this Republican state
with its solid Republican representation
in both houses of congress, anything but
Republican. Why this is so need not be
set out nor argued.
There are going to be some important
things brought about through political
channels in the near future. which
greatly concern Kansas and which will
concern Wichita more than any other
city in the state, if she does not lose her
prestige as great Republican city in a
Republican county. She lost some of
her standing two years ago when the
Republicans permitted the Democrats to
take advantage of Republican prejudices
and of contemplate personal misunder-
standings and of still more contemplate
traitorism, and on the sly half fill the
county building with Democratic
officials, who could never have gotten
there, and gotten their strong hold on
the county but by Republican votes.
Republicans of Sedgwick county and
of the city of Wichita, let us rally; let
us rally to man, and not only elect
the entire Republican ticket and place
the affairs of the county again entire, in
Republican hands, but place our city
and county in tie attitude where we
may command and demand that which
will come to us by virtue of our i'm
portance if we but prove true to our
selves and hold our voice and place in
the dominant party Of the state and
nation.
