Voice From Galesburg Against
Asylum Site Rivals.

A Peoria View That It May be Settled -

Island County Distances All Others In
the Merits Of the Case.
The Galesburg Rcpubl:can-Registcr
of last evening Indicates that things
are warming up down in Galesburg
over the insane hospital location. for
it SAYS:
1.-The Monmouth Review strives er-
roniously TO give the impression
that Galesburg is out of the insane
hospital fight and asserts the Gales
burg papers admit it. The Gales
burg papers admit no such a thing,
and their language warrants no such
construction. Galesburg is strictly
in the contest and is striving for the
prize in an honorable and legitimate
way without belittling or underrat-
ing it's opponents. Galesburg people
are far from giving up the fight aud
Monmouth may yet learn this to be
true. 1t is too early for anyone of
the three towns to do any unneces-
sary Growing. The Rock Island pa
pers are up to the same game as the
Monmouth. trying to read Galesburg
out of the fight, realizing that with
lGalesburg out. Rock Islands fight is
so much the easier. 1t is not likely
that anything the papers may say
will have weight with the trustees OF
the governor. who are capable Of de.
termining the question for them
} selves"
The Galesburg view is in error a:
far as the people up this way are
concerned. They are not fighting
Galesburg or Monmouth. Rock Isl
and county stands purely on it,
merits in the case, and defies any
authority to intelligently explain
; any reason why the institution
should. be located anywhere othel
than in this county. That is tht
question.
The Peoris View.
} The Peoria Journal says OF tn,
, strife for the location of the hospi
tai:
"The fight between Galesburg
Monmouth and Rock Island for tn,
: new State Insane Asylum hospital il
, getting decidedly interesting. I
transpired today that at the meetin,
, OF the trustees with Governor Alt
, geld at Springfield early this week
) Monmouth put in a bid of $50 ,OO'
for the institution. The bid creates
astonishment and no small amoun
of Consideration in Galesburg ant
! other interested cities. A meeting
has been held to increase Galesburg'i
, bid, so that site can be donated
: free of cost to the state. 1t is alst
believed that Rock Island has enli It
: ed in her favor the superintendent
of the other insane asylums of Hi
nois, for they are writing the gov
, ernor and trustees and urging tn
: importance of having the asylum
situated close to some running
stream. 1t is possible that tn,
\ struggle will develop into one SINH

s controversy"
1t is to be hoped not. If TIL
ARGUsis correctly infor med, the Nor
NAL was located strictly on the none,
, question and that already the com
mission sees the mistake that wa
3 made.
Rock Island county should do n,

the state. This much should b.

can fail to win the location of the in
stitution. Everything as far as tn

this county's favor absolutely.

Still Hanging Fire.

The list Of possibilities lengthens the
longer the vacancy in the cabinet Is
continued. The newspapers all admit
that Whitney would be a good man
for the place, ignoring the fact that the
gentleman himself does not think that
the cabinet is a good place for Whit
ney; he gave IL out a little more than
two years ago that he would not ac-
cept a portfolio.
II would be money in Mr.. Bayard's
purse IL he were recalled from London
and named for the Office of secretary
of state. The cabinet place has a sal
airy of 5000 a year. while the mission
10 London is worth s17,500. But this
latter sum doesn't begin to pay the
bills a man incurs who ranks as am
bassador at the ceremonious court of
the queen; and Mr.. Bayard's private
fortune is modest. Eustis. Phelps and
the rest of them are talked about. but
II is all gossip. Senator Morgan would
be as good a man as the best of them,
but, of course. President Cleveland
would not select so good a man.
AT urSt IL looked as II tne coast was
clear for Secretary Olney-the corre-
spondents at Washington announced
that the president himself had said as
much. 1t seems TO US. however that
Mr. Olney's chances grow less as the
appointment is delayed. for the reason
that. while he undoubtedly ranks as a
public man OF personal unpopularity,
many newspapers have spoken pleas
antly of his selection as Mr.. Gresh-
ANS successor. President Cleveland is
likely TO read some of this talk; If he
does. that settles Olney. We are living

house is 10 find out who the man is

They Do Not Tell the Truth.

The opposition is laying great store
by the fact that Secretary Carlisle pro-
fesses to be satisfied with the results
Of his junket in Kentucky; the secre-
tary fiatters himself that the free
coinage craze" has struck high-water
mark.
Mr.. Carlisle fiatters himself too
much. II the daily reports are true
and they certainly bear all the evil
dences of truth-the crusade for silver
has made unprecedented Roadway
within thirty days, and the gains have
been in the region which, in part, Mr..
Carlisle has traversed The execution
is in the case of the Tennessee repub-
licans, who go squarely on record
against silver, as the Ohio republicans
did.
In another direction the eastern gold
bug press is trying. through the pro-
cess of deliberate Misrepresentation. TO
break the silver movement down. We
read in these journals that the tour
of Warner. president Of the Bimetallic
league. throughout the West for the
purpose OF booming Sibley for presi-
dent on a free-coinage platform, has
not proved a bowling success" that is
the way the Philadelphia Press puts II.
In the first place. Mr.. Warner did not
come west to boom Sibley." He made
a tour Of the West in company with
Mr.. Sibley. and both put in effective
work for free coinage; Montana GER
tainly feels the good effect Of their
visit here. 1t was made clear in what
these gentlemen said on the rostrum
and in private conference that they
were not operating in the interest Of
any individual. except that both NJ
them took special pains 10 impress on
those with whom they talked their
unbounded faith in Mr.. Cameron as a
trusty advocate of free coinage.
We notice that at the points in the
Middle West where these two gentle.
men have met the people. enthusiastic
meetings have been held and the cause
has been helped. 1t suits the goldbur
press to misrepresent the results Of the
trip. but that makes no difference as
far as the public in the West is con.
cerned.
