a NIuscatine Sneer,

The Muscatine Ne.cs- Tribune has the
following rather uncomplimenlary refer.
ence to the people of Rock Island county.
who it is to be hoped will learn sometime
before very long that it is unnecessary to
60 TO Iowa either to educate their chill
dren or TO do their shopping:
The "aristocracy' over in Illinois are
sending some of their children to our
high school. for which they pay proper
tuition. 1t Is said that the Illinois sris-
tocracy would send more pupils if we
had room for them which would be a
good thing for the city, as anything Is
desirable which binds that large expanse
of aristocratic country with Muscatine.
Muscatine ought TO be the educs-
tional center of the whole surrounding
country whittier the sons and daugh-
tiers of the farmers could come and
rear the advantages of as good
schools as any city in the state can boast
of, they paying their proportionate cost
to the district into the treasury.
But we have had to cut down
this list Of country patrons. as we
nave sChICeIy room lot our CDluIeu. III
might be advisable. however, TO abolish
the high school and send these aristocrsts
from the country TO other Iowa cities for
their high school education. BY and by
we will get so exclusive that we won't
want these aristocrats to come TO town to
trade. II is bad thing, this aristocracy
that is growing up in Drury and Mercer,
across the river, and down in Cedar,
Seventy-six and other townships on this
side, and particularly is this sristocracy
TO be dreaded that is causing the humble
homes in Muscatine to think of giving
their children the benefit of high school
education. This aristocracy ought to be
put down.
Speed the day when Rock Island shall
muster the courage to string pontoon
bridge or other means OF approach to the
city across Rock river bottoms and give
these, our own people, chance to come
to Rock Island. They will no doubt
come to their county seat il the barriers
which now interfere are removed and
they find that they can come here free
and welcome rather than go to Iowa
where they are met with sneers. Rock
Island will give them all the educa.
tional advantages they may seek without
regard to class.
