George SchmaIe Opens His New Estab-
lishment on Second Avenue.
The Modern shoe store at 1908 Sec
ond avenue has thrown open its doors
for business. The proprietor, George
Schmale, formerly conducted the
Fourth avenue shoe store at Fifteenth
street and Fourth avenue. The Mod
ern is fitted up in a manner entirely
in keeping with the name. and the
methods that the enterprising pro-
prietor will pursue in handling the
trade will conform to it as well. The
store room, which was previously &C.
cupied by the Boston. has been ele-
gantly fitted up. frightened and made
particularly inviting. New fixtures.
along with an attractive line of up
to-date footwear, complete in every
detail, will make the store valuable
acquisition to the shopping district.
The Modern, now displaying a new
stock of the markets choicest offer
ings in the line of footwear. will en-
deavor to give the public late styles
and reliable goods at fair prices. and
in so doing Mr.. Schmale hopes to
merit the confidence of his patrons as
in the past, and thereby to gain a
larger share of the patronage than
was possible in his former location.

THE LEVEE SOLUTION.
The Most Feasible Way for the
Warehouse to Be Pro.
vided.
BEST WAY Is TO HAVE NONE.

But II An Other Plans Are Impractical
BILE, the City Is In Duty Bound to Take
the Matter In Hand and Provide Ac-
commodations-The Only just Compro-
mise Under the Circumstances.
There are two extremes in the levee
warehouse question. One opposes
erecting building of any sort on the
river front. The other looks to the
gaining of special privileges there. at
least to the ownership of whatever
building is permitted there, if one is
permitted. Those who oppose the
giving over of any portion of the
levee to 3 warehouse do so from two
convictions. One is because a build
ing would unavoidably detract from
the appearances of the territory abut-
ting the river; the other is matter
of principle. The only solution of the
situation as it is. lies in the striking
of the happy medium. The ARGUS is
frank to say that it would cheerfully
accept, as far as it is incumbent upon
it as a newspaper to pass judgment
upon what is best. plan that would
remove the levee warehouse project
entirely from the controversy. TO
this end a floating dock or a warehouse
on the south side of First avenue have
been frequently suggested. Both
these propositions have been pro-
nounced by steamboat men as imprac-
ticable, the first asinvolving too great
expense in the matter of maintenance.
and the other as affording facilities
too remote from the waters edge to
be of advantage. These objections.
one or either, or both, may be well
founded, and they may not. But
neither has so far taken tangible
shape. although we have heard re-
peated assurances by those who have
interested themselves in the problem
that one or the other was to be taken up
in a manner that would dispose of the
subject for all time. If an amicable
adjustment of the case on either
proposition can be made let it by all
means be done, but. as was stated by
THE ARGUS as long ago as last fall. for
the sake of all interests involved, it is
time for a movement of some kir d.
Delay has gone far enough. 1t is
time for action.
A just Compromise.
If. an the absence of all other tangi-
BILE methods of meeting the situa-
ton, it becomes necessary to
reach the happy medium re-
ferred to above, and it becomes
necessary for the city to take hand,
as seems likely. it ought to be done
in such a way that the city would as
sert itself IS master of the situation
and remain so. THE ARGUS believes
in no compromise with principle I'M
der any circumstance. But in the
present case compromise as between
the two extremes in disposing of the
difficulty. and at the same time not
only leaving the principle undis-
turbed, but maintaining it to the end.
seems to suggest itself. And that
the compromise, unless the facilities
for which the river and commercial
interests of the city have Joined in ask
ing are provided off the levee, lies only
in the city stepping into the gap and
providing the warehouse-and con-
trolling it and the levee.

THE TOWNSHIP TICKET.
Democrats Particularly Fortunate In the

Democrats Particularly Fortunate In the
Nominations That Have Been Made.
Added to the advantage of strong
aldermanic nominations, the demo-
Gratis have been particularly fortunate
in the choice of township candidates
in Rock Island this year. Than Nj
w. Battles, j. T. Shields and c. II.
Seidel more representative trio of
lected. The people of Rock Island
realized this two years ago, when
the gentlemen named were so hand
somely elected. and their records
have been such on the county
board as to warrant their reelection.
The voters of the city will repeat what
they did two years ago. and give it
emphasis.
The democratic candidate for asses
sor, Chris Schillinger. is one of Rock
Islands best citizens. He has resided
here many years, and has an extensive
acquaintance with the citizens. as
well as with property values. in addi-
ton to possessing the other requisites
for q first-class assessor.
Fred Whistler, the candidate for col
lector. is a deserving young man,
born and reared in the city. Although
stricken with misfortune just at the
time he was entering manhood. and
obliged to abandon such forms of
work as he had previously engaged in.
in consequence, he is no less industri-
Gus to the extent that he is capable,
and if elected it will be his am bition
to fill the Office with credit to himself
and all his friends.
