FOR SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

Justice and the Interes, 8 of our Educa
rionai system Demands the Re-eIec.
ton OF Capt. Durham and DR.. Carter.
The Office of school director is one of
the most important in our government of
free institutions. The position is purely
honorary and is one that should invaria-
bly, seek the incumbent rather than the
man the office. And when citizens are
secured who will discharge the duties
faithfully. conscientiously without fear,
or favor. bias or prejudice. it should be
regarded az the good fortune to our public
school system and they should be con-
tinued in office as long as they are
willing to serve. This has been the poll
icy OF the friends of the public schools in
Rock Island in the past, a policy indeed
worthy of commendation, and THE ARGUS
fails to see why there should be any de-
Walton from such course. Not that
anyone should be blamed for aspiring to
the office of school director. but there is
beyond that question of vastly more
Importance to our tax payers and the pa
irons of our public schools than the mere
qualification of personal ambition.
Capt. G. W. Durham. after six years
of service, and DR.. G. G. Carter, after
three years as director. have in response
to largely prevailing public sentiment
become candidates for re election. They
have earned reelection and the people
with the interests of our schools at heart
will see to it that their valuable services
are thus amply rewarded. Probably no
three years in our public school history
before have witnessed the progress that
the last three have. A number of new
buildings have been erected with an aim
single to the comfort, safety and sani-
tary welfare of pupils. Permanent and
substantial improvements have been
made on all the school property, the in
terests of the schools in the matter of
teachers have been scrupulously guard
ed. Directors Garter and Durham have
made creditsble records, they have earn
ed a reelection. justice demands that
they be reelected, and they will be re-
elected.

SCOTTISH HOME RULE.
Twin to the Irish Bill Introduced in
Parliament

A Twin to the Irish Bill Introduced in
Parliament.
LONDON, March 19.-All the Liberal
members from Scotland and many Eng
lish members, including some Conserva-
tlves, approve the bill introduced in
parliament today for the creation of a
Scottish legislative body. The bill will
attract general attention, owing to it's
similarity to the Irish question. The
bill establishes in Scotland Legislature,
consisting of the queen and Scotch
legislative body, to enact laws
Tor Scotland, with the exception of
matters relating to the imperial admin
istration; the legislature to be prohib-
lted from establishing religion, impos-
ing disabilities or comforting privileges
on such account. Bills passed require
the assent Of the queen only, to become
law. In questions OF jurisdiction be-
tween the English and Scotch
bodies, the matter is to be
referred to judicial committee of the
privy council. The executive govern
ment OF Scotland is vested in the queen
and carried on by secretary for Scot
land, with officers and council as pro-
vided by the legislature. The legisla.
ture is authorized to impose taxes, other
than customs or excise duties, and create
consolidated fund separate from that
OF the United Kingdom. All revenues
appropriated through public service in
Scotland and Scottish contributions
towards the maintenance of imperial
establishments shall be proportionate
to those payable by England and Wales.
The second portion of the bill treats of
the judicial government, provides
that the existing civil and criminal
courts shall be maintained, subject,
however, to abolition or alteration, and
judges can be removed by the legisla-
ture requesting the queen to do so. The
bill provides that the power and author
ity of the imperial parliament shall not
be diminished or restrained by anything
herein contained. The present bill is
worthy of comparison to Mr.. Glad
stones first home rule bill.

Associated Press Dispatches
CHICAGO, March 19.---The grand jury
resumed its investigation of boodleism
in the city council with renewed earnest
ness today. A large number of wit
nesses were summoned, including alder
men, ex-aldermen and officials of the
gas trust. As the investigation pro-
ceeds its scope broadens. 1t is charged
that $75, 900 was paid for the Jefferson
and Urban Electric road franchise, and
Kunz, the alleged squealer, was on the
rack for an hour and half. He came
out with a crestfallen look. 1t is said
he had been trying to get the aldermen
to buy him off. 1t is now said the
scheme of the aldermen to make money
out of securing places for city employees
will be ventilated.
States Attorney Longnecker tonight
denied that the witnesses go far were
disappointing to the state. On the con-
trary, Alderman Chasey, who was ex-
amined today, said he was absent from
the council when the vote was taken on
the alleged Doodle ordinances, and knew
nothing of the bribery. Chasey, how
ever, gave it as his opinion that the
grand jury evidently knew a good deal.
The Tribune gives list OF the alleged
Doodle transactions by the city council.
1t includes $280,000 for the Northern
Pacific franchise; $780, for the Econ
omic Gas ordinance $3.50, 900 for the
Compressed Air company franchise, and
a number of smaller amounts for other
franchises, some of which the paper pro-
fesses to have evidence to prove, are
given.

A Little Scrap Over Local Politics in
Santa Barbara.
Special to the HERALD
SANTA BARBARA, March ia pleas
ant little scrap on the mayoralty con-
test, the first of the season, was enacted
this morning in the law office of G. A.
Storke. The participants were G. A.
Storke and ex-Postmaster Lavies of this
city. MIR. Storke and the x-postmaster
could not agree as to candidates, and in
the argument both gentlemen grew hot
and hotter, and as the wordy war waxed
warm their tempers became uncontrolla-
BILE. Mr.. Storke proceeded to the faucet,
and was about to quench his thirst, that
he might proceed in his argument with
success. He drew the water, and was
about to drink it when he caught sight
of Mr.. Lavies' warm condition, and
dashed tumbler of water in his face.
The water had the desired effect, the
ex-postmaster cooled off sufficiently to
consider his position, argument ceased
and both gentlemen proceeded about
their business as though nothing had
happened,

the county court this afternoon and
asked continuance until Monday.

from the group that surrounded him.
His friends hurried him from the court
room before the scene grew more pain
full. A continuance was agreed to.
Assignee Dwyer, of the insolvent
whisky commission house of Nagle &
Brecher. was brought into court on

A PARIS BANK FAILS.

Two of the Directors Abscond and One
Suicides.
PARIS, March 19.-The Banuue Gen.
eral Chemin de Fir ct Industrie sus-
pended today. One of the directors hai
committed suicide, two have abeconded
Nassd one has been arrested. The bank
specnlated in French, Spanish and Rus
sian securities. Its liabilities amount
to 24,O00,000 francs and the assets to
100000. The failure had no effect on
the bourse.
The reason assigned for the suicide
and fight is that the authorities were
about to institute legal proceedings
against the directors of the bank on the
charge of fraudulent bankruptcy and
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The bank dealt largely in the French
national loan of 1891, and received sub
scriptions to the loan for upwards OF
1000, ,OO0, 900 francs. 1t is alleged that
instead of applying the money thus OBJ
tanned to the purpose of the loan, the
directors used the funds for other pur.
poses, generally in industrial and min
ing speculations. The bank did consid-
erable business, its dealings being
spread over large part of the country.
