too late IN the session for the house

tration. When Penns ylvania trust
is hit we are sure to hear 4 wall OF
anguish from Washington, ID. C.
The secretary of the navy says all
naval construction must stop. Oi
course he will not have the face to
ask the steel trust TO sell armor plate
to the taxpayers for $500 per ton,
when the trust is paying nearly SIC
per ton for pig iron. Neither will the
navy department build an armOr
plate plant. as congress has ordered,
because 81 800 900 is not enough
money for that purpose-so the sec

rate, that the steel trust would not
like to see this country belittle itself
by building a small 81, 500. 900 armoT
plate plant. The secretary of the
navy and his superior officer, Presi'

The Ticket to Win.

An exceptionally strong ticket in
every particular was placed in the
field by the democratic city-tOwnshiP
convention at Turner hall last even
ing. Headed by the best mayor Rock
Island ever had, the entire list of can
didatcs is one that commends itself to
the consideration and support of all
classes of citizens, whose first and
primary desire is that the city
shall have the advantage of the
most fitted men in places OF
public trust. The democratic ticket
combines every element of strength.
not only in point of acceptability and
capabilitv of candidates, but in geo
graphical istIibution of candidates.
All parts of the city and all the var
ious interests of the party have not
before been so happily represented.
The outcome of the proceedings IS
such as to merit the popular acclaim
that awaits it. that's the ticket"
