and's Good Wishes VIII BE Presented
While the Chance Is offered so Near
Home.
When the presidential party came
so close to Rock Island Saturday and
yet avoided US, the people realized the
force of THE Argus recent sugges-
ton that with properly directed eff TT
the city might have secured place in
the itinerary of the trip. Today,
however, the city administration is in
Chicago. The majority of the heads
of the municipal government from
the mavor down and most of the al
dermen are there. In fact, for the
interim, it is difficult TO determine
who has the immediate direction of
public affairs. The Union is authority
for the statement that the response
bility for running the municipal ma
chine for two days has been upon the
shoulders of Miss Katie Gottsmann, the
experienced and capable assistant in
the Office of the city clerk. With such
an important and distinguished repre-
sentation of the city of Rock Island
at Chicago, the opportunity should
not he neglected to impress upon the
president the disappointment that is
shared by all classes of people here,
that within the past few days the
executive and his suite should have
been SO near and Yet so far.
The Chicago papers tell of munich
pal delegations from various parts Of
the country that have been admitted to
the presence of the president during
his stay in Chicago to urge him TO in
Guide their respective cities in his
~avels. TO some of these, in

tie promise of 4 visit at n future time.
Among those in Chicago is a delega-
ton from Omaha, seeking To induce
the president, after his visit to Sioux
CITY, on his return from the DakOtas,
where he reviews the returned troops
from the Philippines, to stop at
Omaha and inspect the Nebraska vol
unteers. 1t is not known yet whether
the president will alt-r his plans suf-
ficiently to accord this recognition or
not. If he does he will be expected to
wait for the return of the Kansas boys,
now daily expected in San Francisco,
and the most famous of all who went
to the Philippines. As he is not likely
to do this, it is supposed that he will
decline the Omaha invitation. espec-
iallv as he was in the Nebraska me-
tropoiis last fall about this time. But
should he determine to include Omaha,
il would so change the plan of travel
of the presidential train that it might
be brought east via the Rock Island to
this point and then transferred to the
Milwaukee or Burlington for Du-
buque, which is, as now arranged, the
next scheduled stop of Importance
after Sioux City.

!. American Politics.

The political conditions In tho United
States are very much mixed at the pres.
ont time. Neither one Of the two great
parties is ready to give unanimous and
hearty support to Well.denned policies.
1t is true that the Republicans lean more
toward tho unequivooal endorsement OF
tho gold standard, and that the Dem 8,
crats, on tho whole, still insist on tl,e
double standard, though with less and
less emphasis upon q fixed ratio between
tho two metals. But IN regard to other
matters the dividing lines are by no
means SO distinct. Both parties arc loud
in denouncing trusts, and both are
equally at sea as to the most effective
methods of suppressiug them. Even on
tho issue of expansion or imperialism the
same confusion is noticeable. On the
one hand, largo and influen section
of Republicans, including such mon as
Senators Hoar and Hale, ex-senator
Edmunds and ex-Speaker Reed, are bit
terly opposed to President McKinley's
method of dealing with tho Filipinos
and on the other hand such Democrats
as Senators Morgan and Lindsay, backed
up by leading newspapers all over the
South. are giving tho President thoir
most cordial and hearty endorsement.
What tho outcome of this state OF affairs
will be no man can tell. After tho Presi-
dential conventions have boen hold tho
atmosphere will perhaps .bo clearer. 1t
now seems certain that Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. Bryan will again DO pitted

The Spartan
Many years ago a young man of
good family and personal character,
(who afterwards adorned the Bench
in our State), was a student in Un-
ion. An officer came ono day to ar
rest him for trivial offence. The
young man playfully pulled out his
pistol and said he would not be ar
rested, thinking the officer would
understand it. But the officer leaped
from his horse declaring he would
carry out his purpose at the risk of
his life. The young man afterwards

ture became suddenly changed, and
