The energy and push of the San Anto-
MO Street Railway company has already
given the city its first definite hope of
electric rapid transit, and nOtwith-

Garblfng the Facts.

The Union attempts to show that Mr..
McHown. the substitute carrier who
sem in his resignation by reason of his
unfair treatment. withdrew from the SER
vice simply because he thought he could
do better at his trade. and says
MIR B. H. McKown has thrown up
his appointment as substitute mail car
rieI He was urgently needed by his
employer, Mr.. John T. Noftsker on his
contract TO roof the new Methodist
chi rich, at time when the postmaster
req Tired him for duty, and like sensi-
BILE and straightforward man he stood BY
the employer and his trade"
This is silly fabrication and without
the semblance of truth Mr.. McKown
was appointed a substitute last fall with
the understanding that he should be pro.
NOTED to regular carriers berth when q
vacancy occurred. Since his appoint
me ut there had been three vacancies, Z"
caused by removals. and still McKown
was not promoted. With the announces
ment of the removal OF Postman Fitzget-
al6. and the appointment of George Per.
ry. McKown went to Postmaster Wells
and asked for an explanation. Being
given no satisfactory answer as to when
he might expect a regular job, he very
sensibly resigned. refusing to be further
imposed upon. These are the facts in
the case and no amount of garbling can
change them.

Police Points.

The police gathered in stranger this
morning. who was found on Moline ave.
nue. too psralyzed with booze TO know
his name
Officers Hetter and Carlson last even
ing pulled the disorlerly house on Fourth
avenue between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets and arrested inmates who gave the
remarkable names of John Smith, John
Roche and Minnie Gray. The two males
were each fined 50 and costs. and the
trial of the girl was deferred until this
evening.
There has nothing definite been devel,
oped yet as to the parentage of the baby
found in the alley between First and Sec.
ond avenue yesterday morning. There is
one theory that it was a child of legiti,
mste parentage. and that poverty was
the only reason for casting it sdrift on
the world. Not very many will be in
clined to believe this assertion, though it
is barely possible that it is so. The next
few days will probably develop some
new facts in relation to the case.

A Port Byron scandal.

Up in Port Byron they have scandal
which has set nearly all the tongues in
the burg to wagging. Of late the jsnitor
IN the public school building there has
observed in the mornings on entering the
building that the stoves were not in the
condition in which he had left them the
night before. in readiness for kindlinp.
but that they had been burned out. This
attracted the janltor's curiosity and
anxious to learn the reason he got around
earlier than customary yesterday morning
aid was surprised to find one of the
re oms occupied by quartette composed
OF two Of the most well-to-do young men
OF the town, whose companions proved to
be- pair of dusky damsels The male
re representatives. OF the party fed upon the
entry Of the janitor, but the Africans
were not so fortunate at gaining their
freedom. The names of all are known,
though no steps have as yet been taken

II Is amusing to witness with what
regularity the Union brings forth that
mouldy chestnut connected in Its own
Imagination in regard to the appoint
ment of the democratic carriers at
the time OF the establishment of the free
delivery service in Rock Island. 1t re-
fers to the manner in which the appoint
ments were made as an ''open secret.
but the poor old Union is evidently as
much In the dark as ever on that sub
ject.
But the silliest position il takes
is that President Cleveland violated
the spirit of civil service reform
Ia not allowing Postmster Halves
to select his own carriers. and implies
that this iustifles the Harrison admins
tration in its present unwarranted course.
The situations are not analogous at all,
and the Union makes a palpable confess
sion of the unwarrsntsbleness OF its
charges against Mr.. Cleveland when it
refers to Mai. Halves, whose retention In
the postoffic until the expiration of his
term-three and one.half years-is q
complete refutation that the ex>president
violated that civil service rules. Under
the circumstances it would have been
perfectly proper for the administration to
have selected the carriers here without
consultation with the repuDli, an post.
master, but the order came that they
should be appointed with Maj Halves
consent. This was treating Maj
Halves very CONSIDERABLY. and he of
course, ccould raise no objection to such
an arrangement. The difference between
Mr. Clevelands and Mr. .Harrison's admins
istrations cannot be more sptly illustrat-
ed in the way Of appointments than right
here in this city. and it is only fair to
presume that it is much the same every
Wherein. Cleveland adhered rigidly to
his anti-election pledges, while Mr.. Har>
rison has violated every promise made by
himself and party. Civil service reform
Why, the republicans have no con inception
of the term.
