There is not a nation in Europe that
does not protest against the more or
less disguised attempts of the Charter

Transvaal Republic under British rule
1t is the jingoes of England who now
approve of DR.. Jameson's daredevil

America who applauded President
Cleveland's daredevil message.
And the London jingoes are now

Betraying a Public Trust.

The Republicans with Populist aid
have re-Organized the Senate commit.
tee. In plain English, they have be.
trayed the people in order to gain this
partisan advantage in closely divided
Senate.
The price of the Populist aid was the
deliverance to the free silver men OF
the most important committee in the
Senate in these times of monetary
trouble-that having control of finan-
cial bills.
In pursuance of this "deal," the Re-
publicans re-organized the Finance
Committee with six Republicans, six
Democrats and one Populist, leaving
the balance of the power in
the latter's hands.
The committee was further SO ar
ranged that free silver Democrats
were elected, giving the free silver
faction complete control. The Re-
publicans voluntarily accepted a
minority position on all financial ques-
tionr
The committee, it's personnel named
and it's financial opinions clearly un-
derstood, was duly elected by the
Republican and Populist coalition.
In view of the recent pronounced
declaration in favor of sound money
in States from which these very men
had come, and IN view of the critical
state of our finances at the present
moment, this deal, ubiquitous ct any
time, was dOubly so at such moment
as the present.
The wrong done cannot well be
righted now, but there is one way in
which it can be at least partially
atoned for. The Senate should
promptly repudiate any free silver bill
or other dangerous measure that this
committee shall see fit to report.
There are enough sound money
Democrats and Republicans in the
Senate to nullify the acts of this com
mittee, to oblige it to report promptly
q wise and just bill to relieve the
situation, or to vote down it's
report and pass such a measure as the
public necessities demand. = N. Y

BANKS AND BONDS.
Probability That Rock Island
May Invest in the Issue.
PERHAPS 100000 WILL BE TAKEN

Two Nationals Quite Likely to Take a
Few OF the Popular Investment-PIi-
waite Banking Houses to Keep Out of
the Deal.
Rock Island banks will probably
take few of Secretary of the Treas
ury John e. Carlisle's 4 per cents.
The Rock Island National has
already been in correspondence on
the subject. Cashier j. F Robinson
said this morning that the bank was
undecided as to whether it would in
vest or,not, but his tone was indica-
tive of an Affirmative dispos ition.
Nv hen the New York World sent out
to the National banks" said Mr..
Robinson, "asking if from patriotic
motives we would take n portion of
the government issue at 3 per cent.
We said we would take $50, 1000. but
on the proposal of the treasury FOR 4
cents we have not yet answered.
We may take $50, though"
Cashier Carl Hellpenstell. of the
Peoples National, stated that his
bank had not yet acted in the mat
ter Of taking any of the government
issue. He did not know that any of
the bonds would be taken. but it was
not improbable that some would, and
possibly $4,000. "But this is not
pa. ia the light of patriotic trans
action" he said. at is purely q
business proposition and will be
viewed as such. If circumstances
were such that the government was
appealing to the patriotism OF CAPT
tai. there is no doubt that all the
money wished would be sent in a,
any per cent the government wished
to pay"
The Other Banks.
The Rock Island Savings bank is
not likely to take any of the bonds,
and Phil Mitchell, of the banking
house OF Mitchell & Lynde. said that
he did not believe any of the bonds
would be taken by private banks, as
money could find more profitable
Investment The National banks
could readily handle the bonds as
security for their circulation and
consequently with more advantage
than the private banks could.

Sport for the skaters.

But Yesterday the ice was in ex-
cel!ent shape for skating, and al
though the strong wind prevented
many from yenturing onto the ice.
there were others who would not
have missed the pleasure for any
thing. Some started from the ferry
landing. Putting on their skat at
this juncture they would simply
have TO face up stream and one of the
swiftest rides one would care to take
was the consequeuce-and so with
out stroke; one had enough to do
in keeping his feet in their proper
location. 1t was a useless task to
attempt skating against the wind.
and many after going as far up
stream in the slough as possible re-
moved their skates and rode in the
street cars TO the lower end of the
city. where they again went onto the
ice and took another sail up stream.
There was also an ice boat on the
