QUEER ANTICS IN POLITICS.
Congressman Prince Back in the District
Tanners Emissary Here.


Tanners Emissary Here.
A Gal esburg dispatch says: Con
gresham George w. Prince has come
home to enter into the contest for re-
nomination. For some time rumors
have been numerous that Charles j.
Searle, of Rock Island. is a candidate,
and that he is making an active can
vass not only in his county, but in
the other counties of the district. Mr.
Prince will spend a week in the dis
trict, and Monday will attend the
Knox county repu blican convention
here. Mr.. Prince says he has favora-
bic letters from all parts of the dis
trict, and that he has no fears of the
result. He believes Mr.. Searle's
strength has been overestimated."
Speaking about letters, Congress
man Prince has made the same I'M
fortunate mistake that he did two
years ago, in addressing his confiden-
tial letters, setting forth the reasons
that he should be continued in con-
gress, and the pleasure it would give
him to have the recipient secure an
instructed delegation from your
county" to those who are not of the
same political faith that moves the
Galesburgian to deeds of valor.

PROPRIETORS AND PROMOTERS.

| The great free street parade was
as had been heralded, grand, gilt
tering pageant of oriental magniii-
cence embracing a display of mas
todon marvels extending over miles
of march, and surprising in beauty
and rich splendor the far-famed Allan
ties of old.
The exhibition proper proved a
matchless array OF high-priced at
fractions, gathered at fabulous expense
from the -four corners of the globe"
and exhibited in royal splendOr under
acres of canvas.
Under the patronage of the Rock
Island Club and for the enjoyment of
its members and the delegates at
tending the convention of the Retail
Merchants Association of Illinois, who
were the guests of the evening, the
world renowned mid-winter circus
came to Rock Island last evening. 1t
proved in all repects a corker, for it
was all that was promised for it.
None who attended went away disap-
pointed. If there Is one who did not
get his moneys worth, even in the
concert, for which he made his great
est investment, the same offer that is
made by the show wherever it APP
pears, to call at the ticket wagon and
be refunded is, THE ARGUS is re-
quested to say, extended. The pro-
gram and cast appearing above tells
what it was and who put it on and
pulled it off.
The club house of the Rock Island
Club at Sixteenth street and Third
avenue was transformed to a circus
Il /;
with canvas to present the appear
ance of tent floPs. Over the parlor
door was the inscription, Entrance
to the Big Show" and over
the library door, Entrance to
Museum and Side Show" About
the walls were posted various signs
admonishing those attending to "be-
ware of pickpockets and confidence
men," to be sure not to miss 1.-The
concert at the close of the big show"
etc. Various features of the concert
were advertised as 1.-The great Zulu

appropriation bill under consideration
today lively debate was precipitated
by an amendment by Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, proposing to give former
Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii $20,0OU
and an annuity of $4,000. The amend
ment was tabled finally without divi-
sion.
In explanation of the amendment
Hoar said the former Queen was the
proprietor in her own right of much
property that had been lost to her by
her dethronment. He said that she had
been the subject OF cruel calumnies
which he was assured had not the
slightest foundation in fact. He was
satisfied her life had been quite shame.
