The ladies of the Rock Island

are deserving of the public
patronage. having labored industri
Ously for a long time in completing
the arrangements of their festival.
which undoubtedly will realize a
snug sum. The hall is nicely deco

to replace the destroyed building.

of the fact that Mr.. Schnell was
showing SO much lib-rality in the ex-

made the sisters a loan of what
amounted to the estimated cost of the
building, $1O.O0O. with interest.
This had been duly and formally ex-
ecuted, and under that loan he was
sustaining the expense Of putting up
the building. but in addition thereto
he had expended $4,000, which he
does not hold the sisters responsible

The county committee met then,
with Chairman Collins in the chair.
1t was decided to issue a call for a
county convention. at the Rock ISL
and county court house at 1880 p.
M. next Monday. The basis of repre-
sentation in that convention will be
as at the last county convention, one
for every 25 votes cast for Harrison.
Chairman Collins and Editor John
son sought to have this rule changed
in the interest of Gest, basing the
representation on the vote of the last
county election, but they were
squeiched. In fact, the eotire pro-
ceedings of the dav were not favora-
BILE to the Gest clans, the action OF
the county committee as we'll as that
of the congressional committee in To-
eating the congressional convention
over in Henry county were both con-
vincing evidence of the overpowering
influence that exists all over the dis
trict in opposition to the only one
and all contributed to the cause
of those detected countenances that

Responsive to the call of Chairman
Emerich, the republican congress
sional committee of the Tenth dis
trict met at the Harper today,
Chairman Collins having called q
meeting of the county committee at
the same time. The conference was
naturally a preliminary skirmish, al
though ostensibly it's object was to
issue the calls for the conventions in
view of the special congressional
election to provide for the vacancy
created by Gen. P. 5. Posts death.
Knox county, which claims the right
to succession, came up solid for
George w. Prince, who headed the
delegation in person. Consequently.
Clark f. Carr did not come along.
Carr does not journey from his own
tireside when Carr's personal inter-
ests are not at stake. Yes" said
Chairman Emerich. Knox county
is for Prince; we have no other can
didate." Mercer county's delegation
came up divided between Petrie aud
James Mckinney, the Aledo banker,
who was present in person. Whiteside
came down with T. ID. Ramsey and
A. Bayli,s rs contending factions
Both were with the contingent. The
Rock Island county candidates were
all present. ii. A. Ainsworth, w. H.
Ge,t and j. W. Caldwell, while eX-
State Senator w. F. Crawford took
some by storm by formally announc-
ing himself a candidate for the re.
publican nomination. Whether
Crawford is a candidate, or a cats
paw for Gest the future will reveal.
William Jack son, who has been earn
estly d scussed as q candidate, but
whose consent has so far been with
held. was also in attendance among
other leading republicans. There
were evidences, too, that T.. j.
Searie's lightning rod might be
hoisted, should there be indications
of storm. The Gest interests on
the floor were most conspicuously
managed by the two Steves-Collins
and Hull-although Sheriff Hemen-
way had good representation present
to preserve order, no doubt.
The Conferences.
The congressional committee met
frat and issued the call for the con-
gressional convention to be held al
Galva, Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 10 a. m.
The basis of representation will be
the same as at last summers conven-
ton, based on delegate for every

cast for Harrison in '92. This will
make the representation as follows:

is lost, attempts to provide school
house and a teacher for the COM
munity of five or six children who
have strayed off into the mountains
and squatted in Coyote canyon, at
the expense of the more thickly
settled communities, by depriving
ninety and nine of these children
of their right to more than one
teacher. Such an arrangement is
palpably fragrant waste of the
public funds. AS to raising adj
ditional revenue for the schools,
it is plain that the already ex-
ceedingly high rate Of tax should
not be raised if that can possibly
be avoided. In this connection it
is to be regretted that the law ex-
empting railroads from taxes did
not contain saving clause in
favor of the school taxes. The
best and most encouraging sug,
gestion that has yet come to the
notice of the writer in reference to
the public school fund, is that con-
tanned in the recent report of Gov.
Hughes to the Interior Depart
ment. This suggestion is to bring
the public grazing lands of the
territory INTO use, by leasing them,
under proper restrictions, the pro-
ceeds to be applied in support of
the public schools of the territory.
Whether the unpatented mining
claims on the public lands would
bear a small tax for the same
purpose is another untaxed re.
source we'll worth considering. A
poll tax is already provided for
by law, and if collected would add
one or two months to the length
of the terms of the schools. But
somehow this law is not enforced
If it were made the duty of the
census marshal in each district to
collect this tax, while taking the
school census, the proceeds to be
held and applied in the dis
trlct where collected, maybe better
results would follow. A still bet
ter plan, and the one which pre-
walls most generally throughout
the United States, is to require
every school district to levy and
collect the larger share of the funds
necessary for the support of the
schools in the district. This plan
avoids squabbling and gerrymand
ering in apportioning the school
money, and promotes economy
two points of vital Importance at
the present in this county, and
doubtless throughout the territory.
