Bright Pr spects Ahead.

The men who labor on the streets
IN Rock Island are not complaining
OF the present Administrations for lack
OF employment. They realize they
have been given all the work that
possibly could be rendered them.
and that their class have not suffered
50 much here as in other cities. Be-
sides the administration is LAYING
plans for abundant employment in
the future. Mayor Medill is pushing
the city hall project, and a couple of
paving ordinances have already been
passed, thanks to democratic coun-
ell. it is the duty of the laboring
men to strengthen the mayors hands
by giving him council in sympathy
with him. and not to handicap him by
eiecting republican aldermen who
are backed by republican real estate
owners who wish to assess the poor
mans property, bat not their own.

DUTIES SET FORTH.
Those of Government Gaugers
and Storekeepers.
A BRANCH OF REVENUE SERVICE

SAID to be Many Applications to Collector
Hunter for the Positions Insight In
to What Is Required of the Incumben,s.
There are said to be no fewer than
Z'ooo applicants for positions as gau-
gers and storekeepers under Collec-
tor Hunter. This NAV be an exar-
geration, but the actual number is
very large. The average human be-
ing has an idea that the position of
gauger and storekecper is a sinecure:
that the work is light. the paw good,
and that anybody can ill the place.
rms Is To large extent 4 mistake
In order to earn s. a day the gaurer
must gauge on an average 1000 cal
Ions. or about 30 barrels day.
Neither gauger or storckecpcr is
paid except for DAYS when emplovod
and he is liable to be laid off when
ever distillerv is shut down. In
gauging barrel of spirits he must
note the gross weight of barrel and
spirits together, the tare or the
weight of the barrel, the net weight
OF the spirits, the Indication of
proof, the temperature, the net wine
gallons, the proof. the proof gallons.
the taxable gallons, and in the foot
ing OF his report the total tax due.
All these figures he must write and
compute in his report, and he must
stamp them with die on the barrel.
ana must also paste and tack the
government stamp on the package.
hen the spirits are placed in the
bonded warehouse he gauges them.
and when he takes them out he re-
gauges them. On the latter occasion
he makes note of everything he noted
before. and in addition makes a re-
port of the original contents as
shown by marks. Each report he
makes in triplicate. one copy for the
department at Washington. one for
the collectors Office at Peoria. and
one for himself. The gauging of
5,665 gallons. or 65 packages, is a
fair average for days work OF eight
or nine hours, not counting the writ
ing of reports, which is usually done
at home at night.
The Store!seeper.
Inc storekeeper Is paid 81 day
when employed. The night store
keeper is no more than a Waterman.
The weighmaster does nothing but
weigh all the corn that comes into
the distillery. The mill man weighs,
and keeps track of all the corn that
is used. The tower man carries the
keys, and keeps awake and sees that
the spirit runner does not steal any
spirits. He locks and unlocks, and
makes out his pay roll. The ware
house storekeeper has harder Job
than the gauger. He has to note in
Il set of books everything that the
gauger makes note of. and must keep
his books in such shape that reve-
nue. agent can ascertain anything ne
wants to know in an instant. He
keeps watch and guard of the ware
house. and OF everything that goes
into or out of it.

THAT REMLEY AFFAIR,
Can didate johnson shown Up in an Unep-
yiable Light

The political cauldron has nearly
reached white heat down in the See
ond ward and is still growing in in
tensity. The candidacy of Albert
johnson and his frantic efforts to
gain seat in the council has aroused
the best element of the ward, which
is strongly opposed to being misrep-
resented in the council by a person
age of Johnson's calibre. In the first
place it is claimed that he has no
property interests in the ward, and
besides his action in certain matters
in the past are not entirely up to the
standard of rectitude generally re-
quired in u city father.
The Icm,ey BENEFIT
After the death of Matt Remley.
who it will he remem bered was fatally
burned while starting fire by the
use of Kerosene, the friends OF the
deceased conceived the charitable
idea Of giving n benefit ball to aid
his widow. which took place in Jan
uary, 1892. '.Bonev" johnson said
he would contribute SO to the fund
but never kept his promise. He
offered, however, to sell some tick
cts and was given 80 to dispose Of
He returned 20 of these, leaving 81
in his possession. He is said to have
disposed of six tickets at so cents
apiece, but the treasurer of the fund
claims he never got johnson 80 turn
in the money. although he asked him
for it repeatedly. The treasurer fin
ally paid the amount of johnson 5
sales out of his own pocket, in order
to settle the matter and straighten
his accounts.
| johnson Makes an ExplInation.
After he captured the republican
nomination for alderman, however.
johnson condescended to make an
explanation of his questionable ac-
ton in regard to the tickets. He
told the treasurer of the fund. Mr.
Imhof. that he had paid the 81 To
Mrs. Rcddig. since deceased, mother
of Mrs. Remlcy, and produced a di-
lapidated receipt bearing the sigma
ture of West Reddi@. This gauZv
story had only the effect of produc-
ing a .'horse" laugh by those who
heard it, and rs result johnson is
being severely criticised by every
one acquainted with the facts in the
case. This is only one of numerous
stories afloat regarding Johnson. but
it is sufficient to show his character
and unfitness for the position be
! seeks.
