FOR MABEL IA GRANGE.
The Ladies' Interested in the Case of the
Unfortunate Girl.

Unfortunate Girl.
The following has been submitted
to the ARGUS for publication:
Rock ISLAND, May 13-The readers
of our city papers are all familiar
with the sad story of Mabel La Grange,
the young girl confined in our county
Jail awaiting trial upon the charge of
infanticide. A number of people in
our city, among them ladies OF the
w. c. I. u, are very much interest
ed in her case, and anxious that it
shall be properly presented in the
courts, that Judgment may not fall
too heavily upon her head.
They have no disposition to con-
done crime, or defeat law and justice.
but they feel that there is at least
reasonable doubt of her being guilty
of the crime charged, but even grant
| ing this that there are many palliat-
| ing circum stances which should be
fully brought to light. She is not
vet 16 years of age; the surroundings
and influences of her life thus far
have been far from fortunate; an evil
counsellor was at hand, and at the
time at which it is charged she COM
mitted the crime. her whole system
was in diseas ed. fevered condition,
her brain confused from the linger-
ing influences of drugs, and her men
tai condition altogether desperate
from the misery of her situation.
lSurelv it cannot be wrong if we al
| low our hearts to grow tender to-
ward this girl, slender and delicate
even for her years. who has made her
awful mistake so early in life. Had
| she been more hardened. expert
enced or less friendless sinner. the
law would not now have its hold up
on her. MANS inhumanity to man
makes countless thousands mourn. "
Woman's inhumanity to woman is
lproverbial. Shall we not in this case
Icontradict the proverbs, and both
men and women help to render it GER
tain. that instice shall be done this
lchild, who is herself so keenly alive
to the misery of her position?

GOOD FOR KELLEY.

The Salt Lake Journal says the
Kelley Gold Cure has done more for
the cause of temperance during the
past two years than temperance or
CARNATIONS all over the country have
done in the last quarter of a century,;
aud yet temperance societies are in
imical to Kelley Institute as rival
in retaining men from drunkard $
graves. We see by Colorado papers
that in Pueblo alone, over FIVE hun
dred inebriates have been cured by
the Kelley Institute, and the saloons
in that city, in consequence, have
decreased in number over forty per
cent; and yet no great stir is made
over the matter by the temperance
people. In Salt Lake City, and
throughout Utah Territory, the num-
Der of graduates from our own In
stitute can be counted up into the
thousands, and in most cases the
men who have been cured of the
liquor habit are classed among our
best business men and move in our
best society. Teaching and talking
would not cure them, neither would
an exercise of will power; yet now
they hate the smell and taste of
liquor, and are renewed in body and
mind, in vigor and ability. The
Gold Cure may not come up to the
high moral standard of the bigotted
temperance ADVOCATES, but it is fal
more effective and is saving more
snl1ls

The constitutionality of the Gear

The constitutionality of the Geary
act, which requires Chinese to regis
ter will probably be passed upon by
the United States Supreme Court
next month. The act goes into effect
on the 9th of May, and an arrest of q
Chinese laborer who has not COM
piled with the law will be made, ha-
beas corpus proceedings instituted
and the test of constitutionality COM
menced. The case will be at once
decided by the District Court and
then carried to the Supreme Court,
which will give it preference on &C
count of its Importance. The SIX
companies of San Francisco, who
control mostly all the Chinese IN
America, have been advised by a
couple of down-east lawyers that the
act is unconstitutional, and all Chi
namen have been ordered to ignore
it. After May 9th every Chinaman
Except those engaged in mercantile
pursuits) who has not registered is
liable to arrest. The Government
will probably abstain from the en-
forcment of the act until the Supreme
Court passes upon it.

THE INEVITABLE RESULT.

The Trans-Mississippi Congress
now in session at Ogden Utah,
should have been called the Trans
Mississippi Silver Convention. Silver
is the main topic of the Congress.
There is really no opposition to
expressions in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver; it resolves
itself into merely discussion as to
the best means of bringing about the
desired end. The resolutions in
favor of silver cannot fail to be un-
derstood by all thinking persons; in
them the sentiments of several mil
lion voters are expressed in plain un-
vanished language. 1t would be an
excellent thing for the country at
large, were the Congress at Washing
ton to be abolished and the one in
session at Ogden be allowed to frame
our laws.
The Ogden Congress is engaged in
a mighty work, and one that must
result in much good to the silver in
terest in particular.
1t will at least promote discussion
of the silver question in the columns
of the nations press, giving the
reading public an opportunity of &C
quiring light ON a subject which has
hitherto never been properly and
fully placed before the public.
While the material good resulting
from this meeting of representative
men may not be manifest at once, at
the polls when the next Presidential
election takes place the mighty wave
of popular opinion will have accum>
ulated sufficient power to break with
irresistible force over the sea wall of
Wall street gold, and when the
waters recede, only the financial
ruins of John Sherman's employers
will be visible. Then the silver
lining for which Nevada's leaden
cloud has waited so long, will shine
and glow, rejecting its light over
busy hosting works and humming
mills.

Captain Bell
On Nicaragua.

Captain George w. Bell of South
Bend, who was recently appointed con-
sui to sydney, N. S. W., was in this
city yesterday EN- route to Portland.
During his stay several of his friends
endeavored to gain his consent to lee
ture here in the near future on the
subject of government ownership of
the Nicaragua canal, and the benefi-
cent results accruing therefrom. Cap
tain Bell did not come to any definite
conclusion, but 1t is likely he will be
persuaded to deliver the lecture.
He has written a pamphlet on the sub
ject, which is now in the printers
hands, and his views are concurred in
by many of the most advanced think
ers of the day. The present intention
Of the canal company is to charge yes
sells passing through the canal $3.50 per
ton on their carrying capacity, and
this, Captain Bell rightly contends,
would do away largely with the bene-
fits of the canal to American COM
merce. Instead of this course, he ar
CUES that with government ownership,
American ships could be permitted to
pass free through the canal, and a
yearly revenue of nearly $1O,0OO,OOO de-
rived by charging vessels sailing under
foreign flags the same rate as is
charged steamers going through the
Suez canal. This amount would not
alone pay the interest on an issue of
$50, ,OOO, 900 Of bonds, but would also pro-
vide sinking fund. The canal, Cap
tain Bell says, could be finished easily
within three years.
