Favorable to Ainsworth.

The Geneseo Republic. which by
the way. generally voices the senti-
ment Of the republican party in Hen
~ county. has the following to say
concerning the agreement reached in
Moline to concentrate on H. A. Aims
worth for congress:
This virtually settles the ques-
ton of Rock Islands choice. 1t will
also have decided influence with
Henry county, for MIR. Ainsworth
has but so recently gone from among
us that we still look upon him as q
favorite son. We know him OF old,
know that he is a man of highest
integrity, earnest republicanism, and
qualified by large business expert
ence and past legislative duties to
ably represent the district. As state
senator he took rank among the
ablest men in the closely balanced
legislature made memorable by the
contest resulting in the election of
the late Gen. John A. Logan as
United States senator. So satisiac-
tory were his public services then
that he would have been renominated
without dissenting voice had not
his private interests imperativelyd de-
manded that he decline the honor.
We believe we represent the senti-
ment Of Henry county republicans
when we say that with Mr.. Ainsworth
q candidate they will enroll under
his standard if they 60 outside the
county"
And the Davenport Democrat. al
though . democratic paper. has this
conservative estimate of the same
aspirant:
1.-THE republicans of Rock Island
county, across the river, have no
better material out of which to make
. congressman than Henry A. Aims
worth, of Moline. II a republican
must be chosen to succeed the late
Gen. Post, then the man from Mo-
line cannot be improved upon. He
is not q great speech maker; he is
not q political schemer, but he is q
successful business man, and one
who has given a great deal of study
to public questions"

STRIKE SITUATION MORE SERIOUS.

Rsnaa Catholic Priest .s WORK ssr sAs
Old H0eornen.
BRooHLYN, Jan. 96-At the stables Of
the cross line on Kent aven0e, Green
Point, the situation Is more serious than
ever before. Rev. Father O'Hare, who
has charge Of the Green Point parish,
spoke to the new motormen and conduc-
tors who were taking out the cara He
begged them to leave their cars and join
the strikers. "Come on men; act Ike
men and Join the strikers. They will take
care of you" was his oft repeated request.
And several men jumped from the cars
amidst the cheers Of on-lookerA Big
crowds congregated in the vicinity Of the
stables and the tracks were obstfucted
with barrels, boxes and refuse.
A good deal Of stone throwing was done
by the mob despite the efforts OF Father
O'Hare, who frequently entreated the
men not to use violence. The policemen
charged the mob with their night sticks
and the crowd fell back. Father O'Hare
received q letter from Mayor Schieren,
sent by messenger The mayor said that
If the disorder at Green Point did not
cease he would at once send the militia
there Traffic on the Hamilton avenue
line was resumed yesterday afternoon
after twelve days suspension. The Third
avenue line was operated with scarcely
any interruption and little show Of hos.
tility.
Thirty five property owners residing -
Hicks and Sackett streets sent petitioI
to the grand jury denouncing the killing
of Thomas Kearney. The petition de-
nounces Major Cochran as q cold -blooded
murderer" President Lewis, Of the
Brooklyn Heights company, has sent out
notices to the strikers that he will take
back enough to fill vacancies on the COM
pany's terms. The state arbitration COM
mission examined Presidents Lewis and
Norton as to the strike. They asked
Mayor Schieren to attend, but he posi-
lively refused.
At $50 p. m. the trolley wires that were
cut on Fulton street, near Saratoga
avenue were repaired and the half-hun-
dred cars which had been stalled on both
tracks for four hours proceeded on their
trips. Master Workman Murray said it
was the most encouraging day for him
since the beginning Of the strike, basing
his belief on the fact that many new men
are deserving the companies. which Is q
fact without doubt. He says it is done
without violence or intimidation. A Pc
culiar part of this matter is that in this
day of dissemination Of news the new
men say they did not know there was o
strike here.
From observation the reporter found
many conductors handing in their envel.
ops on return trips without money.
What! More whitewash" said one Of
the railroad officials. "Yes; didn't have
q passenger on the trip" was the reply.

waiian question was then taken I'D and
Alien addressed the senate. He urged
that Minister Stevens initial act was q
fragrant violation Of international law.
The wrong had gone unrepaired and the
present government was now firmly
established.
Allen said he did not believe in q strong
foreign policy or in bully" procedure,
but under existing circumstances it was
the plain duty Of this government to rec
ognize these conditions and open ncgotia-
lions toward annexation.
Mills Takes the Floor.
Mills then rose to make the speech on
the Hawaiian queetion he had given notice
of. There was much interest manifested
and the senator was followed with mark
ed attention. At the outset Mills went
out of the beaten path and arraigned the
sugar interest as responsible for the con-
slant excitement over Hawaii. ut is an
old story" said Mills. with great earnest
ness. There Is q powerful sugar inter-
est in this country and in Hawaii. 1t is
an interest demanding that tho great
power of the United States be exercised
in its behalf. This interest is manifesting
itself in the United States senate in de-
mands for Intervention in the affairs Of
x1oW0lt ~ - uu0uIIcStluk lOScIk In 0u dke
raignment Of the president Of the United
States because he does not use the power
of the United States navy to maintain its
interest in Hawaii" Mills proceeded to
lay down the proposition that the senate
was going too far in directing the cxecu-
tive branch as to what use 1t should make
of the navy or the army.
A Strange Doctrine.
It was . strange doctrine, said Mills
that the legislative branch should IS
sumo the prerogative to direct another
branch Of government what It should do.
"If the legislative branch can CALI on tho
executive branch" declared Mills, ''then
it can call on the judicial branch. We
will then be able to call ON the chief ju-
dicial body Of the country to furnish us
information as to why they affirmed the
legality Of the legal tender act"
Mills declared that II this doctrine was
conceded then the executive branch was
powerless. Tho president Of the United
States could be brought to the bar Of the
senate at any time to give his reasons or
to direct his course. 1t would be q sorry
moment for the American people when
their executive head was thus made the
creature Of the senate or the Legislative
branch Of the government.
