ANOTHER TAMMANY MOVE.

II OR all that Bryan wins out at Jackson ban
quets Jefferson feasts and Independence day
celebrations in the very stronghold of Tammany
the chiefs who seeking his scalp abandon
his trail Their persistence nclnes to the belief they
have stratagem in their minds by which they vet
hope to defeat him when the time for the big
fight in the convention, and the belief is strengthened
by the beginning of sudden agitation in New York
for doing away with the old twothrds rule in Demo
cratic national conventions.
1t is recognized by the astute chiefs of Tammany
that the rule set aside at the convention itself
there might result serious dsafecton in the party
Accordingly it is recommended that the subject be
discussed and brought up for action at the State
ventions by which delegates be elected to the
national gathering. If majority of the delegates
be pledged by their constituents to adopt rule
providing for a Presidential nomination by majority
vote there would then be no ground for an effective
protest the action would clearly represent the will
of Democracy throughout the Union
The two-thirds rule has prevailed in Democratic
councils for long time that very extensive and
very persuasive campaign of education will be re-
qured to induce veteran Democrats to abandon it.
1t was adopted long before the for the purpose
of preventing the nomination of a sectional candi-
date for in those days there many sectional is
sues in politics 1t has been continued since,
partly by of the force of precedent and partly
because 1t is still regarded as means OF Keeping
sectionaism out of Democratic conventions.
The issue itself is of more concern to Demo-
cratic politicians than to the country at large The
point of public interest in the discussion lies in the
fact that should have been raised all this time
Has Tammany candidate in sight for whom it can
count something like majority but for whom it
cannot hope for two-thrds vote?
If there be such candidate available against
Bryan the sooner Tammany makes the fact known
the better will be for the campaign OF education for
the abrogation of the two-thrds rule. AS the case
is presented now, the discussion hardly more
than an academic debate upon an abstract issue OF
party management, and few people will pay much at
tenton to it. Let it be made known, however,
that it signifies organized effort to obtain the
Presidential nomination for particular candi-
date and the campaign of education will go forward
with all the vim and vigor of dogfght.

Committee Satisfied With Results.
The invitations issued by the busi-
ness men of the three cities to the
congressman of the middle west to
meet here and inspect Rock Island ar
senal are receiving prompt attention
at the hands of the statesmen. A
great many replies have been received
by the secretary and there have been
= number of acceptances.
The campaign which has just closed
is res ponsible for the regrets which
have been received. The congressman
have nearly all been engaged actively
during the last month or two in max
ing speeches and doing other cam
paign work. y number have replied
kindly to the invitations. stating that
their business, which has been ne
elected during the campaign, requires
constant attention now, and that they
will not 0e able to attend on the date
set. However, they ali express them
selves as greatly interested in the ar
senal and solicitous as to its welfare.
Many of them say that anything they
can do to promote the interests of the
island will not be left undone.
Good Results.
The committee in charge of the
matter of extending invitations made
the mum ber sufficiently large to insure
Il good proportion of attendants, and
is tolerably we'll satisfied with the re-
suit so far. There were 100 invita-
tions issued. If - or 20 per cent of
these are accepted, the committee will
feel that its work will be productive
of great results.

SAYS an exchange of the cinemato-
graph pictures to be presented at Har-
per's theatre tomorrow for matinee
and evening performances: 1.-The Gin
ematoscope pictures, shown in the new
opera house Saturday evening, were
the best moving pictures ever seen in
Canton, and that the crowd enjoyed
them was shown by the liberal ap-
plause. The pictures of the Fitzsim-
mons-Jeffries prize fight were very
realistic. One could almost imagine
himself sitting in the prize arena at
the time of the big fight. The numer-
Gus other pictures shown were all
good and the illustrated songs were
line. The two and q quarter hours
spent looking at these beautiful pic
lures were indeed not near long
enough. The cinematoscope compa-
nv will remain over tonight and show
the fight and new pictures not yet seen
by Canton people"

shows in the first act genuine grain

bration, including a uniformed band
and finishing with race by the hose

In The Great Northwest" the hero
confrOnts perils at every turn, which
include a prairie fire, a fight in the
snow, an attempted lynching and Il
poker game in which the heroine
finally saves the hero's life by hold
ing the winning hand. The company
carries five complete sets of scenery,
with elaborate mechanical effects.
Theer is fun in the latest farce offer
ing, Brown s in Town" which comes
to the Burtis Sunday, matinee and
night. The situations in Brown" are
said TO be grotesquely funny, the lines
bright and witty and the music and
songs catchy. The story that fur
nished the groundwork for the play is
single but original, yet despite its
simplicity there is not dull moment
in it from the opening scene to the
final fall of the curtain. The action
of the farce is rapid and is said to
keep the audience guessing. \ pecu-
liar and humorous feature of the en-
tertainment is the fact that there is
no Brown" in the play, and yet our
familiar friend is an important factor
in the story of the farce. The songs
and music are said to be very catchy.
"Midnight in Chinatown" contains
every element that is demanded in
melodrama of today, and the numer-
Gus exciting situations are vigorously
expressed by the company selected to
present it. The plot is clearly ont
lined and the execution is rapid. No
tiresome diversion while the story is
being interpreted, except in one scene
which demands Il break, for the per
fection of the plot. This big produc-
tion will receive its first presentation
at Harper's theatre. coming direct
from the eastern cities, next Sunday

Carpenters VIII Also Ask to be Paid OF

Rock Island, Davenport and Moline
carpenters are to strive for the en-
forcement of an S-hour work day and
a weekly pay day. The Davenport
and Moline unions having previously
agreed on such a course, the local Car
penters' union No. loo, which has had
the matter under consideration for
months, took decisive action at a
meeting last night. 1t was unani-
mously voted to request the building
contractors to grant the new demands
the forthcoming season.
Heretofore the question of paying
off has been indefinite, the men in
most instances leaving it to the cor
tractor, who was allowed TO suit his
own convenience. The carpenters be-
lieve it would eventually prove more
satisfactory all around to have fixed
time for paying. They will ask that it
be the end of every week. Union car
penters now work nine hours per day.
