bell-boy at the Harper house. was
giving the commands, and with the
gun pointed directly at his face,
ordered Bobby" to fire, not think
ing it was loaded. Luckily,
the gun contained nothing more than
powder, and Glass got the full charge
in his eyes and face. He was imme-
diately taken to the Sanitarium,
where DIR. Bernhardi administered
the necessary attendance, removing
the powder from the boys eyes. some

the injuries are painful, nothing seri-

Numerous Changes I'm the Msmbers-Last
Nights Alarm.
Chief Brahm, of the Rock Island
fire department, has made a number
OF changes in the assignment of his
men, in consequence Of designations
which have occurred in the depart
ment. Judd Repine, captain of Com
pany No. 2, has rendered his resigna-
ton, in order to make his annual
winter trip to the south bv river;
and Charles Hastings has been trans
ferred from the Central to the No. 2
company, to take Mr.. Repine's place.
William Eckermann, driver OF No. 2
company, has given up his position,
and James Johnston, the veteran
fireman, ex-cbief of the old volunteer
department. has been appointed to
the post. Valentine Deisenroth, SUBJ
stitute at the Central house. has been
given the position as driver of the
Central wagon, and August Geiger
has been appointed substitute at the
Central house.
Last Nights Fire.
About 7:45 last evening the Gen.
trail and No. 3 companies were called
to the lower end of town by an alarm
turned in from box 26. The compa.
mics responded in good time. but on
its arrival found that the blaze was
beyond the fire limits, being in the
vicinity Of Twelfth avenue and First
street. Some brush had been set on
fire, and the wind blowing so hard,
caused the flames to rise to such a
height as to alarm people living near
Fourth avenue, who notified the de-
partment. The fire caused no dam
age, its food being exhausted in about
half an hour.

A DEMOCRATIC srArE CONVENTION

The Dispatch has had several articles
recently upon the question whether con-
vention Of the Democratic party of the
State should be held. We have very d.
cided opinions upon that point and we
shall state them without reserve We see
no reason to hold a Democratic state
Convention during the year 1884 There IS
only one election TO be held in the re-
naming months of this year. and that IS
the congressional election IN November.
We see no sort Of reason for a conven-
tion that that election can suggest We
are therefore, opposed TO convention
during this year
But We elect a State legislature In the
fall Of 1885, and we think 1t Of the last
importance that there should be a con-
venuon OF the party before that election
takes place There are a number Of mat
ters upon which the party should make
an uneQuivocal declaration of It's will
and views before the members of the next
Legislature are elected so that when Il
meets it may know definitely what the
party wishes done In respect to them. Let
us all make up our minds that we want
a convention in August. 1895, and let us
all so 10 work 20 have one then.

sought out those. dlsregarding all com

No,r the Federation OF Labor cannot
"resolve" out OF existence the fact that
the strikers violently and forclbly arrestei
the passage Of cars along their tracks,
overturned and burnt cars, intlmidated
those who wished TO take their places
and. I'm short. constituted themselves into
a turbulent body Of men that came up

may object as much az they please to
the strikers being placed in this position
and they may protest with voice as
loud as thunder against It, but II Is
positlon which the violent and unlawful
conduct Of themselves and sympathizers
created FOR them, and the press Is not TO
De censure1 for reporting their unlaWtul

demned as siding with capital against

The American Federation of Labor held
an an-day session on Friday, which con
cluded with an adoption of an address
to the public. This address contains the
following passage:
The public press ever alive to the in
terests OF corporate wealth, have. with
but few exceptions, SO maliciOusly mis-
represented matters that IN the public
mind the working classes are arraVa1 i'm
opeh hostility 20 the Federal authorities
This is a position we do not wish 10 be-
placed In, nor Will we occupy il without
a protest We claim TO be as PATRIOTS
ana laW-abiding citizens as any other
class. claim substantiated by our actions
IN times or public need and peril. BY
misrepresentation and dupiicity. certain
corporations assume that they stand for
law ana order, and that those opposing
Them represent lawlessness and anarchy
We protest against this assumption as
we protest against the inference that be-
cause d certain individual or a certain
class enjoys a monopoly in a particular
line OF trade or commerce, II necessarily
follows that they are entitled to a mo-
nopoly In loyalty and good citizenship.
Now, these averments are Of the very
greatest importance. and it is of the last
moment that the complaints shall be sat
ished II they are just. is Il true that
the public press IS ever alive TO the in
terests OF corporate wealth" and that 1t
has with but few exceptions so ma
llciously misrepresented matters that in
the public mind the working classes are
arayed in open hostility 10 the Federal
authorties?"
We assume, Of course, that the address
is dealing with the course Of the press
during the late disorders at Chicago and
, " no IL, ~,
are based upon that assumption For
one, We say that we have seen nothing
whatever In the course of the press to-
wards the Chicago riots that justify a
charge that II has been more alive IN
the interests of corporate wealth" than
