Bond Bin Taken Up.
At two o'clock the vice-president laid
before the senate the house bond bill
and the free coinage substitute.
Senator Jones (dem., Ark.), who has
parliamentary charge of the bill, tried
to have an understanding arrived at by
which the bill should lie voted on next
Thursday. Various suggestions We're

objection was interposed by Senator
Hill (dem., n. ~, who said he knew
several senators who desired to speak
and he could not consent to agreement

their views. He expressed the hope.

Scored Great Success.

II sTrilby," the great dramatic sue
cess, which has enraptured thousands
the past year throughout the United
States and Europe, was produced 1T
the Columbia last night by the Frank
=. Long company, in manner which
filled the large audience with wonder
and admiration, and called forth
rounds of spontaneous applause
throughout the performances. Frank
E. Long in the character of Svengali,
scored a success such as has no actor
appearing on Muscatine stage this
season, he being compelled to appear
before the curtain at the end of the
third act in response to the continued
manifestations of approval of the fine
Interpretation of Svengali's tragic
death. Annie Thomas made an ideal
"Trilby." The roles of Taffy, The
Laird and Little Billie lacked nothing
as takkn by Phil. Maher, Chas. Hat
field and Nelson Grey. Royce Alton
took Immensely with the audience as
the Rev. Mr.. Bagot and H. E. Newell
as "Gecko" showed himself skilled
musician on the violin, while the mi-
nor solos were all we'll rendered.
Frank E. Long, as has been said in
these columns before, is a fine actor,
is supported by very clever company,
and although it has taken the people
of Muscatine three days to recognize
his theatrical worth and that of his
troupe. the universal opinion of the
crowded house of last evening was
that they were the best repertoire
company playing in the city this sea-
son and one enthusiastic theatre-goer
was heard to say, "It is the best show
which has been in Muscatine for. sew
eral years" Be that as it may, the
company have surely taken the public
by storm aud it vas Trilby that did it.
Tonight is produced for the first time
in our city an original version of Rob-
insou Crusoe, which abou nds in com
edy and funny specialties. -Muscatine

member that one of the candidates for that office has held the position for about five years, in addition to which he also holds a deputyship under a county officer.
 The City Clerk is the sole custo- dian of all the records of the city, and all accounts against the same, and change in this office, in order that the accounts and records may undergo a thorough examination, seems to us to be eminently desir able. 1t is rarely that one man is vouehsafed two offices, and such 8 condition is clearly in violation of Democratic usages. A general dis tribution of the offices is a cardinal principle of Democracy, aside from the other public interests to be sub served, and this seems to us a aftting time to ring a change in the City Clerkship.
 We want no office-holding aristoc racy in this community, and we want no man for City Clerk under the dominance of the Mayor and Coun- cil
 For sometime there have been re ported irregularities in the admin istration of the affairs of the city, and the present City Clerk, who is a candidate for reelection, is known to be under the dominance of the Mayor and Council. Therefore, it seems to us, that every interest of the public service would dictate a change in the office of City Clerk.

He gladly testifies to the merit of Hoods Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted to their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength.

THE CITY ELECTION.

Today one week and the city elec- tion occurs at which time four Alder men and a City Clerk will be elected. As little as one may think it, this is an important city election, and the utmost care should be exercised by municipal voters in the selection of these officers. The present contract for city lighting expires next Sep tember, and upon this subject an expression from the candidates for Aldermen should be had. The pres ent prices paid for city lighting are unreasonable and excessive, and at the expiration of the present con tract, more advantageous terms can undoubtedly be made. Therefore, Aldermen should be elected who have the interests Of the city at heart and who are known to be absolutely in corruptible. We want men in office who can not be dominated or in fiuenced by grasping corporations, and who have the courage to fight monopoly and stand up for the in terests and rights of the city under all circumstances.
