MARGARET MATHER.

A Brilliant Entertainment Promised
Al the The atre Tonight
Miss Margaret Mather appears at Ha,-
per's theatre tonight in Leah the For.
saken." Miss Msther and her superior
company presented Romeo and Juliet
al the Burtis at Davenport last evening
and the Democrat Of this morning thus
pays tribute to her Interpretation of the
role of Juliet:
Miss Margaret Msther, always a favor
lite, gave her delightful impersonstion of
Juliet last night before q critical but ap-
proving audience. Numerically, the audi
ence was large one for the Lenten sea-
son, though not near 30 large as the one
that created Miss Msther the last time she
was here. This was unfortunate, too, for
the Juliet of this talented actress grows
IN strength and beauty ss the years pass
by. One Of Shakespeare best drawn
characters is this fair Italian girl, and the
purpose Of the dramatist finds a cor
rect and conscientious Interpretation in
word and action by Miss Mather. 1t has
been truly said that although Romeo
and Juliet are In love they are not love-
sick" In Twelfth Night Shakespeare
pictures wan girl dying of love. who
pined in thought and with a green and
yellow melancholy" but in Juliet he por-
trays the enthusiasm, passion and hero.
ism OF young girls love. The charac-
ter as taken last nigh. always strikes a
responsive chord in the heart of the lis
teneT. Otis Skinner scored hit as Ro.
meo, and the rest Of the support was
good.

A NEW FERRY FRANCHISE
Col. Stewart seeking One Before the
County BOard-The Action There

Col. Stewart Seeking One Before the
County soard-The Action There
On.
The chief business of importance be-
fore the county board thus far has been the
action on petition of Col. s. n. Stewart,
of st. Joe, Mo-, for ferry franchise be-
tween Rock Island and Davenport. Col.
Stewart having been granted that right
by the Scott county board recently, and
he now seeks the same privilege here,
representing that the rates of fare both for
passengers and freight will be about
are half what is now charged, which
would put the passenger rate at two and
one-half cents, or five cents for the round
trip. The petition was yesterday re-.
ferred to the committee on roads and
bridges. composed Of Supervisors Carey,
Ford and Hofer, and this morning re-
port was brought in. in favor of granting
the petition. but upon motion OF, Super
visor Burial it was laid over until this
afternoon for consideration
This afternoon E. D. Sweeney ap.
peared before the board on behalf of the
Rock Island & Davenport Ferry CONS
psny. and raised a question as to the
right of the board to grant franchise to
another company when the city of Rock
Island had already granted an
exclusive franchise. The coun-
ty had no right TO interfere with the
city's rights the law viewing it much
the same as it would the continuation of
q street.
Col. Stewart held that the county did
have right to grant the privileges sought
and 1t was merely question OF con-
struction of law. He proposed to seek
the franchise from the city after he had
secured it from the county.
Capt. Robinson also spoke in behalf
of the ferry company. holding that he
had been imporsuned by friends to be
present and that he had no fears of the
result of competition.
During the speeches, some rather
spirited epithets were exchanged between
Mr.. Sweeney and Col. Stewart.
At length the matter was upon motion
laid over until tomorrow morning with
resolution that the states attorney be
present 10 advise the hoard SIS to the
legal status.
The ARGUS, while having no COM
plants TO make Of the present ferry, can
BEE no reason why sn improved service
should be barred, or why the present
company should have q franchise to the
exclusion of others giving us assurances
of better facilities.

Of Larceny and the Accused Carrie I
- Reinstated.
Henry E. Burris, the colored mail car
rier accused Of the larceny of dollar
from the desk in Frszer's coal office, has
been exonerated by bis accuser. E. B.
McKown. who this morning gave Burris
back the dollar received from him
and acknowledged that he had
done him an injustice, and had
very wrongly accused him of theft. Post
master Wells at once telegraphed to
Washington that the charges agains,
Burris had been retracted and that he had
reins:ated him. Burris lis therefore on
duty as mail carrier again.
Chris. Limberg the old employee of Mr..
Frazer who was the first to suspect Bur-
ms. was seen this afternoon and expressed
himself as greatly surprised at Mr.. Nc,
Kown's retraction. He il inclined to
think that Burris' exoneration is a refiec-
ton on his honesty as the dollar is miss
ing.

How They Doitin London

John George, the former citizen of
Rock Island and Davenport, who wen,
back to his native country. England. two
years ago to spsnd the remainder of his
days, has written the Democrat an arti
Gle on the various modes employed in
pavement cleaning ia London. He
would like to see the horse broom given a
trial on the streets. This machine is
used in London and an operator of one
OF them told Mr.. George that it would do
as much work as 60 men. This is the
way Mr.. George describes the horse
broom:
III is made to revolve. say from the
right fore corner to the left hind-corner
OF the frame and the slush leaves the
broom mostly before the wheel The
broom Will last for year or more and
the men can refill the frame of the wheel,
when. like the Phoenix, il has renewed
existence. 1t can be SO adjusted as to
sweep heavily or lightly. wet or dry, mud
or dust. macadam or pounded road.
street or alley. up hill or on
level After rain it is very
effective, and it would clean up
the Davenport streets before breakfast.
II town is kept clean there will not be
any dust TO turn TO mud and no mud 10
turn to dust. have seen ID the London
streets another small but useful contriv,
snce for clearing the track of the street
railroad. II is an iron pan something
Ike scoop and something like coal
scuttle. 1t has piece of iron attached
like the blade of table knife to 20 down
inside the rail, and as a. man slides it
along the rail by long handle the dirt
runs up into the pan. 1t doesn't seem to
run heavily, as the men walk along brisk
ly with it. The newly paved streets,
particularly with sweeping machine,
might include the necessity of having
something of the kind If Ben Brayton
saw one of these machines he would have
one made in less than IS hours for the
railroad crossings"

ARGUS: / see that certain editor in
order to bolster up counterfeit claim of
exerting great influence in political mat
tiers hereabouts, states that John A. Will
son received more votes in Rock Island

George W. Vinton. My recollection of
the returns as read them in The ARGUS
ut the time. is that Mr.. Vinton received
some 5000 more votes than did Mr.. Will
son in this county. Is my memory de-
fective or were your election figures

CLASS LEGISLATION

CLASS LEGISLATION.
The hirelngs Of monopoly are con-
stantly denouncing the Alliance
measures as class legislation. Some
fair-minded people seem to be
caught by their chaff cry; but they
do not understand the meaning of
words. That only is class legislation
which legislates for the benefit of
part OF the people at the expense and
by the robbery of the rest. High
tariff and national banking laws, for
instance, are cases of class legisla-
ton; they enrich the few and rob the
millions.
But whom will the farmers move
ment rob or really wrong? Will it
be the consumers of food. The farm
ers are accused of trying to estab-
lish a vast trust among themselves
by which the prices of food shall be
raised to fabulous rates. But the
charge is false and silly. No sensible
farmer wishes for high speculative
prices. He knows by experience that
such prizes iniure him doubly: first,
by decreasing consumption and Sec
ondly by unduly stimulating pro-
duction both at home and abroad.
He is seeking only for means where
by he can maintain fair average
rates from year to year, so that
prices shall not sink to nothing
when he has a good crop, and be
doomed skyward by spectators
when he has nothing to sell. And
that will benefit the consumers as
much as the farmers. These specula-
tive factories cause untold distress
among the laboring classes in the
cities. When a man is starving, this
year, on account of famine prices of
food, he cannot he consoled by the
hope of gorging himself next year,
