Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1891-03-07

IHE Union in rather indirect manner
accuses Col Whittemore of being respon-
sible for the failure of Rock Island arse
nal TO secure sufficient appropriations for
the ensuing year, because of his strained
relations with Gen. Benet This is un-
charitable and unjust. Col. Whiitemore's
duty was to simply send an estimste
with recommendations to the war de-,
partment as to the amount of money re-
CURED to meet current expenses and con-
templated improvements at the arsenal.
The responsibility OF seeing that Col.
Whittemore's estimates remained intact
IN the appropriation bill rested entirely
upon the shoulders of ex.Copgress m an
0est, and no amount of quiobling can
shirt The blame else where. and
the reckless raiding upon the
national treasury by Car Reed and his
followers would seem to admit of no rea
sonsbe excuse for the failure of Mr..
Sest to secure proper recognition for this
important post. With claim agent sharks,
subsidy schemers and other raiders filling
their pockets, Mr. Gest should have been
able to at least get the customary appro-
prlation foE the arsenal here, in the gen.
eral scramble. As it was he came home
empty handed, and didn't even take the
trouble to notify local interests of the
unsatisfactory condition of affairs in
washington. 1t is high time, indeed.
mat Mr. Gest was given a rest from
public affairs.
