The need of Q new court house for
Rock Island county is acknowledged
by all familiar with the requirements
Of the county The report of the
committee on public expenditures of
the county hbard bore substantial
proof Of this fact, not only in the
careful statem{nt of the existing con-
ditions of the county buildings, but
in the estimate of cost to put them
in shape to accommodate the needs of
the county, nYolving an outlay Of at
least $50, 900, but in the urgent APP
peal to the TX payers to vote the
proposition fof the new building.
The proof of 1.-THE necessities of the
hour thus SCI forth are sufficient,
positive and Convincing, and from
what THE ARGGs has learned since
the publication pf this report, the re-
suit has had wonderful effect in
strengthening khe opinion already
generally prevailing, that the pro-

or Inte1est to Labor.
The strong revolutions adopted by
the Tri-City Labkr Congress and the
Rock Island Ind 1strial Home associa-

which the labor pf the county is in

it is conceded w all good citizens
that the county should, as it doubt

regulations as will assure to the
labor of Rock Island county the
fruits of the enterprise, that only the
labor Of Rock Island county shall be

SIDE TALK.
Last Nights Special Session Of the City
Council.

Last Nights Special Session of the City
Council.
Last evenings special meeting of
the city council was called by Mayor
Medill for the purpose of accepting
the new intake pipe which had been
finished, and to act on any other bus
mess that might come before the
meeting. The mayor explained to the
aldermen that in laying the pipe and
constructing the new well, the Ed
wards & Walsh Construction company
had complied with the specifications Of
the plans and executed the work to
the perfect satisfaction of the water
works committee. The Golfer dam
had done double duty, as the old in
let pipe had been repaired by the city
while the new one was being laid,
some nine hundred pounds of lead
having been used to stop up the
leaks. In doing this, not only a
large expense has been saved, should
the city ever want to repair it. but
the old pipe has been put in first
class condition. The new inlet pipe
was accepted by the council and Ed
wards & Walsh's bill of $11,175 al
lowed.
Ninth Avenue.
Some discussion arose as to how
Ninth avenue from Seventeenth to
Twenty-second street, could be
opened up to the proper width, the
avenue in some places only being 80
feet wide. A number of the prop
erV holders had complained to
Mayor Medill at being compelled to
lay sidewalks in the narrow por-
tiohs, as the required IL feet for
sidewalk purposes on either side of a
3O}fOot street would make travel al
most impossible. The matter was
finally referred to the street and al
LEI committee. and Aids. Dauber and
neider, with instructions to con-
with the property holders and
ise some means of opening up
nth avenue from Seventeenth to
enty-second street to the proper
lth, 60 feet, and report to the
t meeting.

THE circular letter given to the press
some time ago by Mr.. Jno. 7. Roddey. sug-
gesing a relief for the cotton farmers Of the
South, has been given wide circulation by
the press, and the outlook now is that il
will DC productive of practical results The
following communication just received ex-
plains Itself.
Mr. John I. Roddey desires all persons
or delegations that may be interested in the
formation of Cotton Company, along the
general lines indicated in his correspon-
dence and with the ends in view therein ex.
pressed, 10 meet him in convention at At.
lanta, Ga, on November 2lst. A full atten-
dance is urged. A large correspondence
pledging support, has been received, and
the promise OF an enthusiastic meeting is
excellent The exigeucies of the present
situstion demand prompt action.
Persons or delegates who expect TO be
present at the Convention, will please com.
municate with MIR. Roddey, at 80 Broad
way, New York City.
We very much hope tina. this convention
will be largely attended by our best and
sblest farmers aud that it may be produc.
ton of good to the agricultural interest OF
the South. We do not know what Mr.. Rod
deg has 10 propose. But we believe that il

ID. III not heliove 'Ms -ousiness uen who
had charge of the polls al over our State
would so debass themselves as to sell their
honor for mess of potage, by commit
ting crimes for which they might be sent TO
the penitentiary, when there was absolutely
whatever in regard to any particular roliti-
clans. They are much like other people
They generally do the best they can for
themselves. Being human, we presume
that IL ost oe them would do some wire pull
ing if il were necessary to their election,
and an opportunity presented itself.
But we have more confidence in humanity
and in our fellow men than to think that a
man who had no special interest at stake
would cheat just to increase an already
large majority.
In our own State we do not doubt but that
there we're some mistakes. Take between
fifteen hundred and two thousand unskilled
men and require iheL, to 60 through :hS
formalities of an election, receiving certif-
Gates and votes, counting out and making
up returns, acting at once in n judicial and
executive capacity, it would certainly be
wonderful if a skilltul man could not find
single thiog that might be twisted into the
shape Of fraud Some of our cotemporarics
are urging disconnected ones to 'Investigate.
Investigate !! :" If fraud has been committed
we think that the culprit ought TO be pun
ished; punished for the same reason that
other criminals are punished, TO yindicato
the law. We believe in the execution Of
the whole law. The public, though it seems
has set itself up as judge. Some OF us have
too little reverence for the law. There are
too many Of us who want that law execute
which is iu ;ccordance with our ideas of
right, and that law that is not in accordance
with our ideas we want ignored. But worse,
if possible, than that, we get mad with the
other fellow because he does not agree with
us. 1t reminds us little of the juryman
who said that he had eleven Of the contrari-
est men to deal with that he ever saw in his
life.
We do not see how it is possible for in.
yestigaton to change tho result Of the cleo
ton. and we are sure the grand jury has
sense enough to take care of the criminals,

ing to the State and every interest in it,
There are some very excellent men and
journals who IN their disappointment ana
to vent their spleen do no, hesitate to de-
clare that our State is going to the dogs Just
az fast as il can. These statements, coming
from such sources, are gaining credencs and
are fast making US the laughing stock of our
neighbors. This is not right. South Caro-
lima is not going to the dogs and she is not
suffering as much from everything else put
together az she is from tho slanderous things
that are being said about her by some of her
own sons 1t is a woeful thing for man
Of influence to let his rage get the better of
his judgment. What we need more than
anything else is an expression Just now
from our best and most worthy men in favor
Of the execution Of the law. If the law is not
good the best way to bring out its defect
is by rigid enforcement. anil if we want il

minority we ought to submit and bjdc our
time, knowing that il we arc right our opin-
ions will prevail in the end. For if we do
not support The majority how shall VIC ask
the minority TO support Us when our side
prevail' If we are in the majority we
ought to be lenient towards those who differ
with US, for it should be always borne in
mind that the good will of our neighbors is
of vastly more importance to us than the
success Of any political faction. Whoever
is rover we have 10 work for our living and
living we can surely make if we are will
ing 10 work. Besides it is long lane that
has no turning and it may be that we might
some day want leniency shown us.
Finally, the election is over, and it is time
for us 10 quit politics. There is no bread
aud meat in it for any of us except the pol.
iic;an Let all Of us work together fol

Let us .discountenance the abuse Of officials
and the slander of our State. No good can

with beautiful resignation, sister Phoeba

my privilege TO visit her durikg her sickness
and talk with her about the future She

began to hover over her and tried to turn

Stop and Think.


We had hoped tbst when the elections
were over the country would be freed from
the contaminating influence Of politics, but
it seems that we are in worse muddle now
than we were before. From all parts of
Sou'h Carolina, aud indeed from many Of
our sister State. come cries Of Fraud
Fraud Fraud - It's the same old tale
that we were used TO in childhood, and had
rehearsed again in our college days Our
lives indeed are but different scenes of ouo
act. We remember well when we were boys
that there were always some among us who
when beaten in any game would always get
mad aid paut and maybe cry, aud say "You
didn't play fair" 1t may be that they
were honest in their accusations, but we
always thought it was only chagrin. Then
when We went 10 college we found the same
fellows there. When the foot ball or base
ball team would go off and beat some other
team, those fellows would come back home
and speak in the most glowing terms of the
skill of players on the other side, ani praise
the umpire to the skies. But when tn g team
came home beaten they would cay They
cheated us. They didn't play fair" They
would discourse eloquently about the awk-
wardness of the other side, and argue that
such weak team could beat in any ga me,
only when aided by glaring cheats and a
most unjust umpire. For the umpire there
was no word in their very extensive vocabu-
larry sufficiently opprobrious. He was cassed
alongside Of Judas Iscarot, Nero and Fran
els Chartres. Such tales were always dis
gustiug to us, aud the bearers Of them de-
serving Of nothing but pity mingled with
contempt. We always admired the fell
low who had the manhood to come up and
acknowledge that he was beaten. Some
times it took good deal Of manhood to
do that. The umpire was human aud
therefore not infallible. lie sometimes made
mistakes, but then IN honorable player
would give him credit for common hon.
esty, Such players always stood highest in
the estimation not only of their opponents,
but also of their colleagues. Their protests,
when made, which was very seldom, always
received the unanimous support Of their
colleagues aud were also invariably con-
sidered by the umpire and even had weight
with opponents. But the man of whom it
was known beforehand that he would be
forever accusing some one Of cheating his
protests were ignored and considered as
coming, as o matter Of course.
We are not sure but that most Of the poll
ticiaus who are now saying "You cheated .
You cheated ~ belong to that class of pro-
fessional Fraud exclaimers with which
all ofus are we'll acquainted. In entering
politics they have certainly gotten into a
field where they can practice their profession
| to their fill, and never be entirely without
| something to find fault with. We would not
say that every mau who complains of fraud
is q professional grumbler, but we do say
| that this year there is entirely too much
complaint and tco little proof to back it. 1t
