tees in the council, he is in a position
to discuss city matters intelligentiy
and to express his views on those
subjects which affect the local gov
eminent. His record as alderman
has been that of one of the best tina;
has ever been known. He has de-
voted his time and attention to his
duties to an extent that few other
councilmen have ever done. Always
ready to respond industriously to all
committee work, he has won the ad-
miration of his constituents of all
parties, while his conservative man.
ner has commanded respect at all
times.
Right Kind of a Mayor.
He possesses a high sense of the
responsibility that devolves upon a
man elected to a public office. This
has always been characteristic of
him. He believes firmly that no man
should accept an office to which he is
not in a position to devote the
same time, thought and energy that
he would to his own business inter-
ests. and with this conviction he
proposes. if elected, to place his per-
sonal affairs in the hands OF his sons
aud apply himself absolutely to the
Office to which the people may call
him. This is the kind of a mayor
Rock Island wants. The city has
grown to a position of Importance
where it demands an executive who
is free to be on duty all times.
Biographical.
Mr.. Kuschmann was born in Prus-
STA in 1912 and came to Rock Island
in 1868. This city has been his home
from that time. For IL yeas and
until 1880 he was employed as mana
ger of Weyerhauser Il Cos. flour and
feed store, when he embarked in bus
mess on bis own account, engaging
in the -four. feed and grocery line,
which he at present conducts. In
1898 he was the democratic candidate
FIR alderman in the Fifth ward, de-
feating Aid. Il. +. Knox, who is the
opposing candidate for ma or now.
His nomination came as a recogDi-
ton OF eminent qualification and
sterling worth, and as a testimonial
to the splendid service he has given
the city as alderman and which had
been previously shown in his unani-
nous denomination i'll the Fifth ward.

FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT.

Street Railway and Telephone Improve
ments- Reduced Rates.
The spring cleaning up is in pro.
gress at Black Hawk Watch Tower.
where the Davenport & Rock Island
Railway company contemplates some
notable improvements the coming
season if they can be brought within
reasonable cost. Among them is an
electric fountain of elaborate design,
unique foliage, a stage for entertain
menis. and other attractions such as
the public will appreciate and enjoy.
The Davenport 4 Rock Island Rail
way company is making some note
worth improvements at its Moline
avenue barns, having provided neat
room for the motormen and conduc.
tors by itself. and a convenient wait
ing room for passengers together
with an Office for Supt. Hill, all OF
which show that the company has
the proper consideration of its pat
rons and it's employees, as has been SO
often shown in the past.
Down Go Telephone Rates.
Assistant Gen. Supt. H. H. Mat
took, of the Central Union Telephone
company. was in the city yesterday
accompanied by the managers of the
offices ut Des Moines, Cedar Rapids.
Dubuque, Keokuk. Ottumwa, and
Geneseo, and arranged with Manager
Huntoon to inaugurate April l a
general reduction in rates in the tri-
city exchanges, the cuts ranging
from s. to S26, as the following
schedule showing old and new rates
will indicate:
The cut to business telephones
within radius of one half mile is re-
duced from s54 to s4S, and residence
$50 to $50. The same is true OF
the party line where two or more
use the same wire. Where two or
three are on a line, the business rate
is reduced from S54 to s42, the resi-
dence from $50 to $27. Where four
to six use the line. the business rate
is cut from S54 to $50, aud residence
from $50 to S24. The schedule is
proportionately reduced up to the
two mile limit. The rate for a mile
radius to one subscriber is to be $4S
for business. intead of S66, and $50 for
residence, instead of $42. With two
or three on line, the business price
within mile will be reduced from
s54 to S42; residence, $50 to $27.
Four or six on line, business rate
from S54 to $50; residence, $50 to
$24. Ga the 2-mile radius the old
rate was 500; it will be S64 for bust
ness. with a cut from SOC to SAG for
residence. Two or three on a line
from $67. so to $54 on business, and
$3.50 to $50 for residence. Four to
six on a line. $3.50 to SAP for bust
ness, and $3.50 to $50 for residence.
The company has also arranged to
put in a polarized magnetic bell
which gives the advantage where
there are more than one on the same
wire. of disturbing only those directly
called.

Change In the Rock Island Fire De-
partment.
Mayor Medill this morning deposed
Bernard Brahm, as chief of the Rock
Island fire department, and elevated
Assistant Chief j. ID. Collier to the
head of the service. Brahm has Just
returned from 5-davs' leave of alb
sence which was granted by the
mayor last Saturday, but while he
was away the mayor was amazed at
reports brought to the effect that
Chief Brahm had been shamefully
neglectful Of his duty to his family
Last Wednesday Mrs. Brahm became
the mother of twin children, one
died that day. and the family being
without means of support, the mayor
arranged with Undertaken Wheelan
to have the infant inferred. The
mayor was naturally indignant at the
situation. and added to this were re-
ports Of a scandalous nature involv-
ing the chiefs conduct, and he de-
termined to order his return at once.
He sought in vain to locate him, be-
ing determined to demand his return
home and then to remove him. This
morning Brahm arrived from 81.
Louis, and learning of the mayors
feeling, he called ON him this morn
ing and offered his resignation.
Mayor Medill declined to permit any
such proceedings, but told him that
he was removed, as he had planned
to remove him on his return for I'M
becoming and disgraceful conduct.

Later the mayor sent Chief Sexton
to the Central engine house and
made the formal transfer of the
Office of chief TO j. ID. Collier, who
has been assistant the past two years.

Tekamah Burtonian: The prison contrac;
has been let to A. ID. Beemer, who is to re-
ceve 40 cents per day for the maintenance
OF each prisoner. and a salary Of $1,000 per
year, which includes the service OF book

$4,000 to $1,000 and would act also as
an Incentive to greater public interest
In the large development of the public
schools as the basis of citizenship. To
n plan of this kind there could not be
any objection on the part of fair
minded men. but those who advocate 1t
are in so small minority that they
are not likely to have much influence
with the convention. Other plans re-
lating to the suffrage have been sug-
gested, but the indications are that
nothing will receive serious considera-
ton which does not contemplate the
disfranchisement of n very large ma
iority of the negro voters. There has
been some talk of granting suffrage to
women, but it is believed there is no
chance of this being done.
AS illustrating the extreme attitude
of the South Carolina politicians who
are laboring in the cause of "white su-
premacy" it is interesting to note that
it has been proposed to incorporate
into the new constitution provision
making negroes incapable of holding
office, and it is said that certain able
lawyers in the state are confident that
this can be done without contravening
the fifteenth amendment to the federal
constitution. on the assumption that the
right of suffrage does not include the
right to hold office.

representative American. Whatever he says
is brimful of earnest enthusiasm and the fln-

republic!' he cries in regard to the present
Grand Army encampment at Louisville.
Down with him who would lower IT." The
fact that Mr.. Watterson was a gallant col
onel in the confederate army lends especial
interest to the utterapce. His opinion re-
hects the real sentiment of the southern
people
Kansas City Star: Mr.. watterson's rreat
appeals in times past have been made to a
party--to a section OF the people. Now his
audience is the entire citizenship of the re-
public. He is the eloquent spokesman Of pa
triotism. To be known as such; to be recog-
nized by all parties and all sections as the
champion of those high public sentiments
which all good citizens cherish deep la their
hearts, but which few are able adequately TO
express; to go down to the tomb with the
glamor and the glory Of that high renown
shining around him and Illuminating his
character in history-what greater honor can
citizen of this republic aspire to?
Globe Democrat: The most striking feature
OF the Grand Army reunion at Louisville is
the general and cordial determination of the
federal and confederate soldiers. 1t seems

SENATOR GRAY ON THIRD TERM

Globe-Democrat: Senator Gray's third term
talk Is to be taken with some allowance for
the fact that he has been spoken of as a
good man to succeed the late Justice Jack
son.
Philadelphia Press: The public and expl.c t
declaration Of Senator Gray in favor of the
denomination Of President Cleveland gives
that movement a more serious character than
it has heretofore possessed. 1t is the first
welghty and significant expression on that
side.
Chicago Tribune: Senator Gray of
Delaware has fair reputation as
a lawyer, but he is not smart
enough to make the American people
believe that under certain circumstances two
and one make two, and not three. He says
he cannot admit that the nomination of Mr.

BRITISH BITTERNESS,

The American people will not take
very seriously to heart the British criti-
cisms which attest the bitterness of dis
owner Of Valkyrie had some ground of
complaint and they do not deny his right
to withdraw from the race If he really
thought there was such peril to his yacht
and her crew as he asserted in giving
his reasons for withdrawing. American
newspapers have vigorously condemned
the conduct of the excursion boats. which
it seemed impossible to control. But
when the question of sportsmanlike con-
duct is raised and Americans are de-
nounced as not being true sportsmen we
are ready to debate it and to submit to
any impartial tribunal whether in the
international yacht race our yachtsmcn
did not show themselves in all respects
rs true spOrtsmcn rs the owner of the
Valkyre and those associated with him.
We might, if necessary. go farther than
this and assert that In every interna-
tional sporting event between English
men and Americans we have shown at
least as muCn regard Iof tne require
ments of true sportsmanship as the Brit
ish have. 1t is the habit of Englishmen
to boast of their love of fair play, but
everybody familiar with sporting mat
ters knows they have not always justi-
fled this claim. Making every conces-
sion to Dunraven as a generous and hon
orabIe sportsman, it is to be said that he
manifested in withdrawing his yacht Il
spirit more of pique than of anything
else, and he did not improve his claim to
be considered n true sportsman by re-
fusing another opportunity to settle the
question which is the faster yacht the
valkyrie or the Defender. 1t was re-
grettable iiasco, but not of such serious
consequence as to warrant bitterness Of
feeling on either side.
