Commend able Idea
The idea is one winch the Argus has
suggested in years past and one to
which it cheerfuly contributes its
most hearty endorsen ent now. There
hive been organic atoms and organiza>
ticns. Toilers of various crafts have
oTganized for mutual benefit, so have
professional men of various csllings. We
have tri city travellers and tri-ci,y trades
men II ali sorts, tri.city printers and tri-
city painters. tri-ci,y plaste,ers and TIT
city plumbers, tri.city preachers and tri-
city prsctic:ioners. why not have tri-city
pencil pushers7
Why Not Have n Press Club:
But TO all organizations there must be
an initiative, a beginning. In order to
further the most worthy end suggested,
and Rock Island being the most central
OF the three cities. the ARGUS suggests q
meeting of representatives, of the various
newspapers OF the tri-oities at the ARGUS
office On Saturday evening. Dec. 81, New
Years eve. A rough estimate places the
number Of newspaper toilers in the three
cities al 90 The beginning Of the new

The Eastern Hospital.

The Executive Committee for the
Eastern Hospital, near this city, met
at the Hospital on the 4th inst, and
80 great is the demand for room that
a third story is added to the new
laundry building, now being erected,
in which to sleep the better class of
male patients.
A brick building was ordered to
be erected for a dining room for out
side employees, anu it was deemed
necessary to make this structure two
stories so that eight or ten of the
better class of female patients might
be provided with sleeping apartments.
These devices will give the greatly
over-crowded wards in the main Hos
pital building temporary relief; but
there will still be urgent demand for
additional accommodations, and it is
hoped that the next Legislature of
our State will grant an appropria-
tion sufficient to meet the ever-in-
creasing demands upon this import
ant State charity.
There are, and have been for
many months, an average population
of 256 present, and the appropria-
tion for this institution is only $685.
900 per annum, which amount is
caring for the unfortunate people AID
making the varied improvements at
a per capita cost of less than $3.50.
We are informed that so full are.
and have been, the wards that it is
impossible to receive any patient un,
less one is discharged or dies. This
state of things ought not to exist in
any Hospital; but the management
is not responsible, and, as before
stated, surely our Legislature will,
by necessary appropriation, give the
much-needed relief.
