SUPERVISORS SESSIONS.

Yesterday Afternoons Work of the Count,
Board-rhe business Today-The One,
Who Hold Over
At yesterday afternoons session OF
the board of supervisors no great
amount of business was transacted
| The committee on Jail and Jail ac-
counts made its report, and the re-
ports OF several other committees
were taken up and disposed of. The
usual routine business was gone
through with but nothing of import
ance came up for action.
Today's Doings.
This mornings session was mainly
devoted to the taking up of numerous
bills which had been referred back to
the board for action. Among them
were several bills from county con-
stables and police officers for SER
vices in arresting and bringing back
criminals. The fact that the board
had previously adopted a resolution
to not allow any bills of this charac-
ter unless conviction of the party
arrested was had, provoked long
discussion for and against it. Two of
the bills were allowed, however. de-
spite the previous resolution, and
a bill of S75 was allowed to Levi
Cralle, of Moline, who captured the
man who had stolen his horse and de
lvered him over to the sheriff of the
county.
AT this afternoons session of the
board, the Eastman poormaster case
OF Moline was again brought up and
1t was decided to carry it to the APP
pellate court for final decision. After
transacting some other unimportant
business the board passed vote of
thanks to Chairman Smith for his
impartial rulings and adjourned.

R-legate FOSSILS to the Rear.

The policy of the party in order to
command the respect and endorse
ment of the people should be to rale-
gate what fossils may apply for
recognition in the convention, to the
rear, place them among the back
numbers and raise up men of modern
ideas, whose aid of, and cooperation
with the council in furthering modern
Improvements may be counted on. A
mayor so impressed with the great l
am as to exercise the veto preroga-
tive on any and all occasions,
may prove most deplorable
stumbling block to public i'm
| proyements. Such a candidate i is
to the best interests of the democracy
to avoid, locally speaking, at least.
The party in Rock Island is fortunate
in the possession of just such tim Der
as is essential to Rock Islands up
building at the present time. Let
the party weigh well the consequence
in the selection of its leaders Ibis
spring. Choose men of energy and
local pride, men with the city'S best
interests at heart, and the masses of
the people will be found at the backs
of such candidates at the polls.

The regular train from the Creek
and special from Cumberland Thurs
day brought a host of people to attend
the funeral of the late Owen Hitchins.
Everybody knew him.
A maiden fair with sun kissed hair
came tripping down the street. The
air was keen, her age was "steen," and,
readers, she was sweet. The sidewalk
was seet and she went off her feet with
Il jolt that shook out her curls; and
the words that she used must be ex-
cused, for she's one of the best of girls.
Bernard Stern will reach home to-
day from his eastward tour for new
goods and be much surprised to find
that during his absence that his plucky
salesladies, Misses Sallie Brown and
Lizzie Donahue. had J. H. Hawke
paper the emporium in his incest style.
Nearly all the floral designs seen at
the funeral of the late Owen Hitchins
were constructed by F. X. Millman,
of Cumberland, evincing great re-
sources of materials, ideas and tastes.
Eavesdrot pers abroad. Two men
standing under the JOURNALS stair
way last week heard Sandy Smith
writing the Firemen's letter, and two
others Wednesday night, standing
near the same place, heard half of the
Water committee re-nominated on the
ticket headed by the architect of the
city hall.
Owen Hitchins was third degree
member of Fraternity Council, No.
$50, American Legion of Honor, of
this place. From this fraternity his
heirs will receive 50 900.
A few remarks of more or less inter-
est to the combination known as
Mejams and the Water committee are
crowded out.

STORED COMMoDITIEs.

Most people know that money is
medium Of exchange, handy imple-
ment by which one man exchanges the
product of his labor for that of others
which he wants. Some people know.
too, that money is a measure of values,
as yardStick is a measure Of length
and buShel is measure of quantity.
1t were better for the peace of mems
minds if all men knew the latter func-
ton of money as we'll as they do
the former. There would be less
crankiness in the world, fewer vision
aries pandering to discomfort with
dreams of universal wealth by means of
printing presses.
- There is another use of money also not
too generally understood. II is a means
of storing commodities; thing into
which men can put for reserve uses the
perishable or ponderous products of
their labor, 1t is more convenient for
the man VINO has raised surplus hun
dred bushels of wheat to have some
thing into which he can exchange it tina
will be of equal value, but which will
take up but little space and is easily
carried or safely Lept The working
man who has saved surplus from his
earnings needs something of the same
kind in which to keep it. Money serves
this end. The farmer stores his COM
modify, wheat, in the money he gets for
it. The WOrkingman stores his COM
modify, earnings, in the money he gets.
Money in any mans hands, honestly
come by. is but the stored commodities
he has produced. 1t is to his products
what bank is to his money, place of
safe deposit. Like the bank, it should
be ready any day to give him back the
value he has put into it. Like bank,
its value is gone if suspicion finds
ground that it will not give him back
tomorrow, or next month, or next year,
the same value lie put into it today.
Inasmuch as every man stores in
money more or less of the commodities
he produces for greater or shorter
time, it is a matter of vital Importance
to every man that the government in
sure to him full commercial value in all
the money which 1t issues. If it puts its
certificate on any coin, gold or silver, it
owes it to the storers of commodtie S
that the coin shall have in it the actual
value certified to, and that valne one
which the commercial world will recog-
nize and accept. If it provide a coin
which has not that value, and which,
having less value than its face states,
is not accepted everywhere--one which
may by the operation Of laws of COM
merce superior to national laws be-
come the storehouse of commodities at
the value commerce sets on it-then the
government is doing what it can to con-
tiscate and destroy that quantity of the
products of its people represented by
the difference between the real and the
nominal value of the coin it gives out
for money!

POWELL'S FENCE.
Hoboken Police Unearth Thief's
Fence and Recover Valuable
Property.
ST. Paul, Duluth and Other West
ern Cities Interested in the
Stolen Articles.

HoBoKEN, n. j., Feb. 1.-The Hobo
ken police today finished raiding the
dwelling houses on Adams street, in this
city. in which was stored valuable silks,
laceS, WOODEN goods. linen. ETC.. valued
at many thousands of dollars. The
goods were the proceeds of several dar-
ing robberieS committed in the West.
Not long ago the police of st. Paul.
Mimi, arrested John Powell. who
said he was connected with a
large dry goods house in New
York city. Upon being questioned
he confessed that he had been in the
company of gang of professional
burglars for several months. He told
the chief OF police that his resi-
dence was in Hoboken, and that a
notorious burglar of the name of Joe
Burns was the leader of the gang,
which had been operating extensively
in Western cities for long time. He
also stated that several thousands of
dollars worth of imported silks, stolen
from large dry goods store
in Duluth, together with other goods,
had been sent to Hoboken. to be stored
at II Adams street, where he lived.
The chief of police of st. Paul notified
the Pinkertons of New York, and Mr..
Pinkerton had a consultation with
Chief of Police Donovan, of Hoboken.
Mrs Powell declares that she was not
aware of what her husband had been
engaged in. She was told, she says, that
the large consignment Of goods were re-
turned from large sales he had made,
and she said OH orders from her
husband she had shipped goods to man
named Isaac Lazarus to several differ
ent addresses in New York city. The
Pinkertons declare that the principal
members of the gang will be in Jail by
next week.

STILL DEBATING.
But on the Whole, of a Dreary
Character.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The house of COM
mons assembled at noon today and the
debate on the queens speech was re-
sumed. Mark j. Stewart, ConseT vatiye
member of parliament for Kirkcud-
brightshire, Scotland, who has large
stock raising and agricultural interests,
expressed dissatisfaction with the Scant
reference to agriculture IN the address.
He complained that the United States
and the colonies were able to send their
produce to London cheaper than it
could be sent from Scotland, owing
to the excessive railway rates.
Mr.. Stewart disavowed any purpose
to advocate protection for agricultural
interests, but he did not approve that
the home produce should be injured to
the advantage of his foreign cOmpetit-
ors. The debate OH the address in reply
to the queens speech was on the whole
of a dreary character. 1t was devoted
chiefly to the Scotch church suspc nso ry
bill. Several Conservatives and Liberal
members attacked the proposed meas
ure, while Sir George 0. Travlyan, sec
rotary for Scotland, defended it. Arthur
WELLESLEY Peel, speaker of the house of
commons, has advised privately Con-
sentative leaders not to move any
amendment to the address di-
rectly antagonistic to home rule.
Such an amendment, he urged,
would be not only unusual, but also
likely to bring on home rule debate
before the submitting of the bill. This
advice will probably be followed.
Sir Frederick Miner, Conservative
for the Bassetlaw division of Noting
hamShire. has decided not to propose
his contemplated amendment rejecting
upon the governments action i'll the
case of the Gweedor prisoners. 1t is
now regarded as certain that Mr.. Glad
stone will not be able to introduce the
home rule bill next Monday, as was his
original intention. There will be no
opportunity probably for the introduce
ton of the bill before Monday week.
The competition of members for seats
in the gallery on the night of the intro
duction of the bills SurPaSses all prece-
dent. Members will ballot specially for
the privilege of introducing their
friends.
