The concert given by the Moline
Light Guard band in Spencer square
last evening, proved a most enjoya-
BILE entertainment, the band acquit-
ting itself in highly creditable man
ner, in the class of selections and
their execution; the little delay be-
tween numbers, and with all the
newly uniformed appearance. 1t is
quite an innovation to see hand
somely uniformed band in the Spen-
Ger Square stand. There are some
bands that are little bit above dom
ming dress suit for public concerts,
though they should not be. As far
as the Light Guard band is con-
cerned, however. Moline should feel
very proud of it in all respects.

NOVELTY REIGNS.
Wonderful Innovation in a Popular Pas
time-Tomorrow's Great Attraction.

Wonderful Innovation in a Popular Pas
time-TomorrOws Great Attraction.
In these days of progress novelty
succeeds novelty in such rapid Sc
quence, that it has to be something
quite unusual to attract anything be-
yond mere momentary attention and
be talked for more than a day. Per-
haps there could be nothing more
convincing that the Adam Forepaugh
shows as organized in this Colum bian
year contain numerous innovations
and novelties than the fact that the
newspapers, everywhere the shows
are appearing. are unanimous in de-
claring that their exhibition is moth
ing less than one constant. unvary-
ing succession of novelties. Even all
the old-time, standard features of the
circus, museum, menagerie and hip
podrome are given in manner and
upon scale so vast that they are very
decided novelties in their way. Last
year these great shows presented what
up to that time was unquestionably
the most magnificent and elaborate
spectacular production ever seen in
this country. 1t was based upon
theme of the greatest antiquity, but
was so transcendentally splendid that
it was pronounced by the press of the
east, in which section of the country
the shows exhibited only, to be the
most superb vision of splendor ever
seen in America. This year, how
ever, Manager McCaddon has wisely
and opportunely changed the char
acter of the spectacular portion of
the exhibition by changing the theme
from one of ancient history to the
live, patriotic. loyal subject, the
American Revolution, and it will be
known as The Scenes and Battles of
l|'6." Fancy alone can paint the
realistic manner in which the Amer
lean will be literally shown how his
glorious heritage of freedom was won
for him by the great heroes of the
revolution. 1t will be done so that
it will be understood by the child
and appreciated by the man. 1t
will be Il living history of our coun-
try such as has never been so well
taught and so easily learned before.
If there is any of the olden-time pa
triotism left in the American people
it will be surely aroused to the high
est pitch Ivy this splendid exhibition.
And if the thousands of foreigners
who will certainly land upon the
shores of America this season see
this exhibition, then they will under
stand what kind of stuff the people
are made OF who have made this coun-
try in one century the largest, gran
dest, the richest, the most powerful
nation and country of all the earth,
our own, our native land, and to par
aphrase the poet, breathes there a
man with soul so dead that he will
not want to see the glorious story of
the American revolution so splendid
ly told" This then is the greatest
of novelties. Real pleasure and real
instruction, actually and effectually
combined. The Adam Forepaugh
shows will exhibit here tomorrow
Careful and admirable in all their
appointments the Adam Forepaugh
shows are a delight to all bcholders,
remuneration to all patrons.

WHAT WILL HIS EULoeY Bsf

Perhaps General Harrison may die
within few years. Some people viii
wonder why those. who condemn his
public acts now, do not fall into rapso
dies Of praise for him then.
General Harrison was brave soldier
who returned from the war TO make AZ
enviable name for himself as lawyer
and citizen Of indianapolis. But be-
coming the President of the United
States. as he says with the assistance OF
"God and the vote of Indiana" but as
many believe, by cabal Of Quay. Clark.
son, Wanamaker and Dudley, he has
done many things TO spoil his reputation
and prevent any panegyrics Of admiration
upon his memory. He has forgotten and
neglected the virtues of private life in
the exigences Of a dying party.
Prominent among these things are, that
Chill war MESSAGE that quarrel with
Blaine; the signing of the Mckinley bill /;
the insistence to pass the Force bill the
appointment Of Porter TO take fraudulent
census; and, finally and worse than all,
his retention and defense Of Raum in
the Pension Office
AS these things are mentioned rapidly,
while General Harrison still retains the
greatest Office in the gift Of the greatest
nation in tho world, there are those who
cannot or will not appreciate the force
Of the criticisms upon General Harrison
for doing them. There we're those also
who did not, or could not from partisan
blindness, appreciate the condemnation
Of Hayes for allowing the Presidency TO
be stolen. He could have stopped the
steal; he knew It was going on. He
did not stop IL; and worse,
he rewarded the most precious lot OF
scoundrels the world ever knew for com.
hitting the political crimes which gave
him the votes Of three Southern states
which never went and were not expected
TO 60 Republican before or since. Those
persons who palliated and justified Hayes
did not dare to renominate him then, but
they are apoligizing for him now.
When the historian comes to deal
calmly with the official career Of General
Harrison he cannot write that Genera
Harrison considered public Office pub
lie trusts" that he vetoed any partisan
bill that he wrote a silver letter; that hl
ever stood up, proud of his own manli
ness, and said I will not do this thing be

He has virtures-strong wholesome
admirable virtues-but he does not us
