A Chicago Paper Approves of the

From the Tri6une's statement of facts
the following is culled:
As one enters the Rock Island arsenal
from the Davenport side two guns frown
upon him. At first appearance they seem
like Napoleon twelve-pounders, but a
nearer association turns them into a non
descript makeup of which nothing is
known this side of Mexico. or the DAYS of

thought to be thing of the past. 1t, in
appearance, reminds one strongly Of
Trophy Point at West Point. where are
placed the cannon captured at Cha
pultepec. Moline del Rey, and at the
storming of the City of Mexico under
Gen. Scott. Nature has done everything
that lies within its power to make Rock
Island a spot to be favored by a man
looking out for q habitstion. The
amount of rivalry that has recently been
| developed between the west and the east
on account Of the Worlds fair may to
some extent have influenced the business
men of Davenport, Rock Island and Mo
line in undertaking to indorse financially
the plans now set forth by Col. Whites
more, commsndant of the arsenal, for
the establishment of gun foundry at
that point.
Col. j. M. Whittemore, recently re-
lieved from the Watervliet arsenal at
West Troy, N. Y, is probably more
competent from actual experience and
thorough study to speak OF the actual ad-
vantsges that Rock Island has for the es-
Enlistment of such gun plant than any
other officer in the service.
| The Tribune then enters into a detailed
description of Col. Whittemore's plans
such as have been fully stated in the
ARGUS recently and continues:
The above mentioned plans and speci-
fications embody the scheme that the
present commandant at Rock Island has
in view. Behind him are the strongest
men mentally and financially in Rocl
Island, Davenport and Moline. G. III.

be given the vicinity of the arsenal in
case congress will make the necessar.
appropriation, and Representative Gestt
efforts and Senators Farwells and Cul
Ions letters prove of any avail. Col
Whittemore is the second ranking office
in the ordnance corps, and was relieved
from his duties at Wstervliet and or
dered west without rhyme or reason tina
he can discover. The chances are that b
will prove q strong candidate for the pc
sition of chief of ordnance when Ger

IA Base Hit

The great farce comedy. "a Base Hit, u
is 10 be presented at Harper's theatre
this evening and an exchange says:
The vitality of MIR. SIMS farces lies
in the fact that they satirize some fad,
fashion or weakness of human nature.
Mr.. Sims was wise enough to perceive
that q farce comedy with nothing but
rattle and railery to commend it could
not hope to survive one season. He
the -efore introduces into each of his
compositions enough Of happy satire to
distinguish them from others of their
kiu1, and as q result they live and flour
sh throughout a number of profitable
seasons. In "a Base Hit he satirizes
the almost universal interest in base bal
very cleverly, and hits the base ball
craiks, umpires, summer resort proprie'
tors and others, in fashion born OF
close observation. Obtrusive and insin'
cere grief also comes for Q little appro.
pritte attention, and the entire mixture
OF wholesome humor is sugar coated
with various new knd original songs and
dances.
