Opposed to the English Language.

| The general spread of the English Ian
guage over the world has been resisted
most stubbornly ON British soil at home
The legislative assembly of Jersey re-
jected, by vote of 81 to 6, bill to per-
init the use of English in the assembly
at the option of member. This action
of course affirms the principle that
French is the official language The
country parishes are resolutely opposed
to the introduction of English, although
it has made great progress in the towns
of late years, and it is said many of the
deputies are now unable to express
themselves correctly in French.
Mr.. Gladstone's government has been
asked by several Welsh members of par
lament at the instance of large body
of Welshmen to make the teaching of
Welsh in the public schools of Wales OBJ
ligatory. 1t has always been taught in

number of Irish people who do not speak
English at all is still considerable, and

THE CARPENTERS HEARD.
Replying to a Misleading Statement on the
Part of the Union.


Rock ISLAND, June 3.-Editor AR
GUS: A rather misleading article in
this mornings Uuion has induced us
to make the following statement to
the general public in order to let
them see the real inwardness of the
case. From the very beginning of
our existence as union, we were
met by, some of the contractors in a
spirit of kindliness, which has con-
tinued and for which we are CRATE
full. Others again have met us with
antagonism, which we think has also
continued, even if it has been sleep
ing ever since the organization of
the c. c. A. We have been expect
ing an attack of some kind, and if
this case had not arisen. Of it really
has arisen and not been manufact-
ured) some other one would have
been made. We are confident had
the same thing happened to any
other firm of the G. G. A. there would
not have been any trouble. They
would have simply said to Rohinson:
You have to do one of two things,
either act as n man of honor and be
reinstated, or quit my employ, we
will not on your account raise any
disturbance. Or. if Mr. Collins had
told our committee that he preferred
Robinson to his union employees: we
would have quietly withdrawn and
the matter have ended there. Mr..
Collins, however, saw fit to bring
the matter before the &. G.. A.. and
induced them, many of them against
| their better judgment. and not cX
pecting such consequences, but
merely to give him their moral sup
port, and we do not doubt some of
| them are really glad to involve
! Collins alone against 166. BY en-
| dorsing the resolution. however.
| they left MS no alternative but to
treat them all alike. Should any
member of the c. c. A. at any time
Withdraw his name from said en-
dorsement, his or their employees will
| go to work Immediately. In regard
to the last manifesto Ia Carnegie
about returning to work on or before
June D. they may try their hand at
filling this town with the scum and
the outcaStS of our trade from the
large cities. if they wish and think
| they will fill the bill, and further
more to remember that bobtail

that it don't always win the pot. Re-
spectfully,

As Monday is the day set by the con-
tractors as the limit for the men to
return to work, that day will deter

IN CONCLUSION.
The Closing of thei Mabel LaGranGe Case
Today.

|
| The case of Mable LAGRANGE. on
| trial for the murder of her infant
child, is still in hearing in the cir
cult court. The whole day yester-
| day was taken up in hearing the
opinions of medical experts in re-
gard to different hypothetical propo-
sitions submitted to them. At the
conclusion of the testimony of DR.. j.
W. Morgan, of Moline. DR.. Vessel.
also of Moline, and Drs. Bernhard
and Craig. of this city, were called
and gave their expert opinions on
hypothetical questions submitted.
This done. the defense had presented
its case and this morning the prose-
cution presented its rebuttal testi-
monv. EX-Chief of Police Miller and
Night Captain Kramer were put on
the stand and testified to the fact
that defendant had told them on the
night she was arrested that the doc
tor had nothing to do with the
drowning of the child. Harry Means,
Mrs. Julia Swinton and Henry Swim
ton were then placed upon the stand
again and questioned concerning the
defendants actions as to sanity or
insanity, both before and after the
night of April 6.

morning, States Attorney Searle
opening for the prosecution. M. NJ.
Sturgeon followed, making an able
speech in behalf of the defendant,
the case being eloquently closed for
the state by Mr.. Searle

The Answers .

Answers commenced to come in
Immediately after Tuesday nights

made its appearance. 1t is pleas
ure to THE ARGUS to see such an in
terest manifested by our young peo-
pie in the cause of education, for the
boys and girls of today are to be the
readers of tomorrow.
The first correct answer to the
word contest was received at THE
ARGUS office at exactly 4:55 p. M,
Tuesday, the 30th. 1t was signed by
Olga RochOw, and read, The boy
who seeks is father to the man who
speaks" this being the first answer
received. which was the same as the
one delivered to Supt. kemble in
sealed envelope. We therefore an
nounce that Miss Olga Rochow is the
winner of the first prize. which con-
sists of one complete set (25 volumes)
of the WorldHerald's famous Ency-
clopedia Britannica and a bookcase
made expressly to hold it.
