IT is A WINNER.
The Success of the Columbian Ex-
position Assured.
If Rock Island VIII Isut DO ITS Duty
the Great Project viii be Cur
rIpd Through on Tim.

The Twin-City Columbian exposition
has been gaining ground gradually. but
surely, since the people, whose undertake
ing it is, took hold Of it. From the first
Rock Island has stood ready to do its
part, and while there has been some en-
ergetic and successful work done in the
way of soliciting subscriptions. not all of
the committees have made the effort they
should, in justice to themselves aud the
project. 1t is not such difficult under
taking to secure subscriptions to this pro-
iect. It requires but little persistency
and an intelligent presentation of the
purpose and scope of the enterprise to
secure the subscription of practically
everybody. As said before, the money
is ready in 1.-THE majority of cases and is
simply awaiting the solicitation.
While Rock Island has taken hold of
the matter with a vim and spirit of
libersltY that has taken the breath away
from the croaker, that individual has,
nevertheless, been attempting to build up
q wall of obstruction to the enterprise in
the past day or so Oh the ground that Mo-
line was going to fail in doingit part and
therefore Rock Island need do no more.
Such an assertion is made with absolute
Iy no knowledge OF facts. In the first
place Moline is not going to fail. and it
would be no reason why Rock Island
should go down with it, il it did. The
proud reputation of the twin-cities is at
stake. and when Rock Island comes to the
front with its load, Moline will not fail to
follow suit. Moline, in the first place,
had later start than Rock Island, owing
to combination OF circumstances. but
has done we'll nevertheless. Rock Isl.
and. however, is not accountable for
what Moline does. Rock Island
has started out to raise $4,000. So has
Moline. The joint undertaking on the
part of these two cities has gone abroad.
Outside cities are talking about it, and the
proportion each of the cities engaged in
the enterprise is to do. Neither city
can afford to fail, and neither will. Ger
tainly one cannot bo cause the other does.
Rock Island has made up its mind to
raise its share, and when the time comes,
Rock Island as usual, will be on hand,
having done It's duty. To the mind of
those who have been chiefly interested in
this great win-ci,y effort for several
months, there is no such word as fail.
Success is what the two cities are striving
for, and success will come. That is the
watch word and with it ever in mind and
view it will lead TO Rn accomplishment oil
the desired end despite every possible OBJ
stacie.

Political MlDncrisY.

The speech Of the mayor at the Wood

Wednesday night, and to which extended
reference Was made in THE ARGUS the
following day. has been the subject of
more or less discussion and conjecture
the past few days, and not
only has the assertion made by
The ARGUS that it was piece of
political demagogism. been frequently
made, but the mayor has been condemned
as political hypocrite as we'll shown
by his closing utterances wherein he Bit
terly assailed the saloon traffic, the very
element to which he appealed for votes a
year ago, and it may be said, too, that a
large number voted for him because
of the leniency he had shown in
applying lawful restrictions to their
modes of conducting business, u
practice he has continually adhered 70 in
this regard is AS unreasonable as his ma
licIous and uncalled for attack on chris

he should keep his mouth closed. To be

CRANSTON,

Now that the election is over in Gran
ston and the attempt to eradicate the
Budlong faction from power proved fu-
tile, the question of annexation might be
mentioned, as the principal factor in the
reelected council. The chief point on which
such contingency hinges Is Auburn.
Auburn is at present the most important
suburb of the town OF Cranston, having
developed by persistent appeal for apr ro-
Priations to make needed repairs tili IL
the township. Among the members OF
the now ruling power are four from that
district. Several times prior to this last
agitation of the annexation scheme Au-
burn has threatened to secede
from :, Cranston ,:n and Join ,vsns the
not allowed them. Having attained
its present state Of prosperity,
it's valuation being far ahead Of its moth
er town, hence making IL a source OF con-
siderable income TO Cranston. the people
of the other sections are ayerse to letting
1t join itself to Providence and are con-
tinually granting IL favors TO the neglect,
perhaps, of the other portions. Auburn
Is, in fact, the only part of Cranston that
has for q moment considered the idea OF
annexing TO the city. The r.sidents OF
knightsville are averse to II, alleging that
the rate of taxation Is now sufficiently
large for the amount of benefit gained.
W
advantage. especially at this stage, when
tho town has issued u fHrge amount OF
bonds which are already accepted by one
of the banks of the city In an en-
deavor to reduce the public debt. In an
interview with some of the prom
inent citizens Of the place, this sentiment
was invariably expressed, although their
is one ardent lover of the scheme, in the
person of George b. Francis. VINO has
already became known to the people OF
this section on that score having read
paper some time ago before the Olneyville
business Association, and q meeting OF
the business men of Cranston, showing
in an extremely lucid manner, the un-
limited advantages TO accrue to the resi-
dents in the event OF annexation.
Although his scheme never became
popular, it contained dry. hard
facts which are admitted but there
is one "coon" which will not
be acknowledged, and that is the increase
of taxation which would necessarily come
under the control of the municipal
government. Cranston has, as a manu-
facturing village, evidently attained the
zenith Of her glory, unless new inJec-
tion Of life be infused into her, the
print works being the only signs OF life
at present. One mill, employing about
$50 hands, having recently moved to
Bristol. where better facilities can be ac-
quired for the manufacture OF the estab-
llshmeut's product-woolen fabrics.
