Rival Third Avenue Organization Put Out
of the Business Las. Night.
The names of the republican pres
idential team were pasted On flag
which was tackled up in the noeth-
e,st end of the Fifth ward last night.
And there was some discussion on
the republican side of the questions,
which are now confounding the
voter. 1t was pretty loud af
fair all arounG-but considerable
amount of enthusiasm emanated from
the honest souls of democrats living
in that neighborhood who could not
refrain from laughing at the cock
and-bull stories which the speakers
were attempting to pat up.
In the first place there was a par
ade. 1t was the best turnout which
the republicans have had yet. The
affair was under the direction of the
Lincoln club. which was obliged to
stand the ordeal of playing second
fiddle to the Mckinley van Saturday
night. SO the Third avenue push
was put out of the business right
last night. Capt. F. A. Freer, Har.
ry Carse, Charley Searle and Doc
Thomas rode III carriage, which
held second bag in the walk, the
band being in front. Then came the
Lincoln aggregation and it's auxil-
iaries. The Mckinley club played
tailender. Bleuer's brass band led
the yellow fellows. They marched
up the line and down again and fin
ally came to halt on the west side
of the Fifth avenue pharmacy on
Twenty-third street, where the faith

about by the white winged boys be-

beam OF radiant smiles which were
interspersed with chuckles when last

Bat the blow almost killed G )ilins.
The flag was showed heavenward
after the crowd had got settled at

and as it went up the zephyr
sang "Arrah Go On" as they played
with the branches on Hobart's upper
lip and tickled Mckinley Bill under
the lower teeth. Then the speaking
went on. Charley Searle made that
speech which he has delivered word
for word "a times in the present

Better Days For the Steamboat

Vide Good Levees in Order to Encourage
and Maintain the business Conseq aen.
Upon the Great Revival.
The Davenport Leader has a very
sensible article on the revival of
Mississippi river commerce and in
cidentally it is exceedingly applica-
bic to the efforts being made in
Rock Island 10 establish and main
tain a permanent and improved levee.
1t SAYS:
1.-The past year along the river has
demonstrated that there is still
money in river business. and that
there is likely to be revival of.the
old time trade that will be ins piring
The trade needs working up. This
seems to be the great trouble. The
old line river men seem to think that
trade should come to them as mat
ter of course, and when with rapid
transit on the various competing
lines Of railroad the trade on the
river dropped of they gave up and
said that the days for water trans
portation We're OF the past.
In this as in marv other
things the old line river men were
mistaken, and some OF them
are now able to see their mistake in
the splendid business that has been
done by the packets along the river
the past summer, and in fac: for sew
eral seasons back in the short trade
A new school OF river men are now
taking hold of the business. They
are hustiers and allow no moss to ac-
cumulate on the hulls OF their crafts.
Where there has been no business,
and in trade that the old line men
sank money, they have come in and
with push and energy, promptnes-
and perseverance they have made it
pay and pay well. The old fresh
water salts were want to laugh 1T
these men and call them land Tub
bers. and say that such and such a
| boat owner tried to make that shor,
line trade pay but failed, and he was
the best pilot or captain or something
or other on the river, and If he could
not make it pay no land lubber can.
They have done it, though, and no "
these old timers sit on the river
bank and watch the boats go by
crowded with passengers and their
decks crowded with freight. The
old timers took what came to them
and sought after nothing. When the
packet business dropped off the bulk
of the business that was done wa;
rafting. Now that is falling of, too,
and the drift naturally enough is
back to the packet trade.
The Levee Encouraged.
This should be encouraged by al
OF the cities along the river, and
those which have levees to improve
should lose no time in doing so
Davenport has made step in the
right direction, but the work is only
begun. 1t should be kept up. Rocl
Island tried to do SO, but the mayor
vetoed the ordinance and the conn
ell is considering the matter of pass
ing it over the veto. This may be
done at the next meeting"

Laughter Is better than crying.
That's what the humorists say,
Living is better than dying
Breathing the essence of May.
For the sun Is some where shining,
Der tbe brooding clouds inclining,
And these have their silver lining.
Cleaning through the gray.
Singing is better than signing;
Harlx TO the birds on the trees
Thro' the green foliage flying,
Saucily perched at their case.
Nesting In rigorous weather,
Sung from the pitiless blast.
Sailing as 1.-the as feather,
When the winter Is past
Testing Is better than croaking,
Fan has a license 20 stay;
Laugh az the mountebank joking,

And we II join In the dance;
