The Moline journal. in

ciaily observable VIII IL IL is contem-

it in view of its oatpourings Of the

becomes absolutely irresponsible,
winding up generally as far away
from the point it started out with, as
a Moline editor is from heaven at all
times. The other evening The
ARGUS happened to comment on a
special instance Of the publican
Journals unfriendly attitude toward
Rock Island as so often shown. IN
this case this spirit was particu-
larly conspicuous in the mead

As to Labor

While. as said, the board should
have the ad v"ntage Of the oest talent
of the countryin the matter OF plans.
when il comes to the letting OF con
tracts for the construction, local CON
tractors should be given the prefer
ence. This in the Interests of home
labor. The labor OF Rock Island and
Moline. and the county generally.
should have all the possible benefits
from the erection Of this new build
ing. The union labor of the three
cities took an interest in the court
house proposition from the first. en-
dorsed the bond issue and worked
faithfully for the success OF the prop
osition at the polls, with this end in
view. Union labor has done its full
duty in this regard, and the county
must keep faith with it.
THE ARGUS has no fears but that
the county board will do this.

THE NEW TEMPLE.
That Of Justice Which Rock
Island County Will Have.
THERE rs NO OCCASION FOR DELAY.

Supervisors Are Determined to Dispose of
the Freliminaries as Speedily as Possible
"A Matter In Which we Are All Deeply
Interested.
II is gratifying to know with what
spirit the supervisors are taking hold
OF the court house PROJECT. From all
parts OF the county come the assur
ances that the mem bers of the board
are determined to tackle the matter
as soon as possible after the session
convenes Dec. 12-and put it
through. The vote canvassed, the
next thing will be the permanent fin
ing OF the location, and then the dis
position of the bonds. From what
HE ARGUS can learn, there will be
no difficulty on this point whatever.
The county paper, like that recently
issued by Uncle Sam, will find a
ready market. This much disposed
OF. the supervisors viii have nothing
to do but look into t subject of
actual construction. 1t is under
stood committee will be appoi
TO make little trip over the state,
visiting the counties where new
court houses have been erected. in
sPecting those of Warren and Mercer
counties among others OF course
and in this way some idea of
plans will be furnished. The AR
Gus is confident that the board will
permit of no snap judgment from
any source in the matter of architcc-
tUrai plans. The bids for the de-
sign should be open to the country.
Eoek Island county wants the best in
this matter, and it should not con-
line itself to any one man or any
particular locality in seeking them.
Inc b1arnd should have the largest
possible range OF ideas in this re-
spect, for Rock Island county wants
Il court house that will stand side by
side with that Of any other county OF
equal size and Importance. The
present board is to have not only the
distinction OF building the new court
house. but Of building it for many
years to come, and the disposition
seems to be h erect Il strictly sub
stantial building. and while as a
ma ter Of fact paying due respect TO
the idea of an imposing appeara ace,
TO eliminate superiluous ornamental
t!on in the interest of solid and
permanent building, fitting in all
respects a. temple of Justice, rs

ment.

trading in the stock continues heavy. The
bulls arc well satisfied with the adoption of
the sugar schedule and now look for speedy
termination of the tariff fight. This is hav

would only take final action on the bill that
considerably higher prices will be witnessed
at the Stock Exchange. Sugar ranged be-

Hugh r. Smith assembled the stage and

Rev. 2. p. Phillips, rector of st. Paul's
Church, offered a suitable prayer, in
voking the blessings of heaven upon
the deliberations of the Grand Camp.
Comrade X. Kemper, of Lee Camp
of this city, then stepped forward and
delivered the address OF welcome. His
remarks were well-timed and suggestive
and he was frequently applauded. His
alusion to the fact that those present

battle of the war was fought, and to
the memory of General r. f. Lee were

Alexandria, hoping their visit would
prove very pleasant one.
State Senator J. \. Stubs, of Glou-
cester, made the response to the adj
dress of welcome. His remarks were
apt and were we'll received. He said
as soldier he had ever obeyed orders,
even when some were unpleasant, but
on this occasion he took great pride in
carrying out the order of his superior
officer who had deputized him to de-
liver a response to Comrade Kemper's
address of welcome. He was compli
mentary in his reference to Alexandria
and was ENORMOUSLY applauded.
The Adiutant General of the State,
Thomas Elliott, called the roll, and the
committee on credentials submitted
their report which showed that more
than working quorum was present,
forty members answering to their
names.
The Adjutant General then read the
proceedings of the last Grand Camp,
