The speech OF Grover Cleveland
delivered at Madison Square Garden
New York, on Tuesday night Of lasl
week, on the race question, has at.
tracted the attention Of the entire
country, and Is regarded both North
and South as one Of the ablest, most
sensible and logical speeches ever
made on this question. Even the pa
pers, especially in the South, that
have been most hostile to Mr.. Cleye-
land, admit that his speech is a most
remarkable effort, and that coming
from such q man, it will do more good
than any utterances on the question
from any other source. While Sse
may differ with Mr.. Cleveland on
some things, We are bound 66 admit
that he is one Of the greatest men
that America has ever produced.
Some Of the strong uttersnces in the
speech are ~ follows: -
II believe the days OF Uncls Toms
Cabin are past. - 81
I do not believe that either the
decree that made the slave free or the
enactment that suddenly invested
them with the rights of citizenship.
and more purged them OF their racial
and slavery bread imperfections and
deficiencies than 1t changed the color
OF their skin.
believe our feilow-countrymen
In the Southern and late slave-holdinR
states, surrounded by about nine
tenths, or nearly eight million, Of
this entire negro population, and who
regard their material prosperity, their
peace, and even the safety of their
civilization, interviewer with the ne
gro problem, are entitled t., our utmost
consideration and sympathetic fellow
ship. -
8 With all we OF the North may do,
the realization OF our hopes for the
negro, must, after all. mainly depend
Except SO tar as it rests with the
negroes themselves-upon the -aenfl-
ment and conduct OF the leading ID
responsible white men of the Sonti
n have faith in the honor and sizr
cerity nf the respectable white psooD,
Of tl1e. soa1l p their relat y
the negu End his Improvement and
we'll being. They do not believe IN
the social equality Of the race, aud
they make no false pfeteuse in regard
to It. That this does not grow out OF
hatred Of the negro Is very pla!n. :
There is abundant sentiment
and abundant behaviour amonR
the southern whites towards
the negroes to make us doubt the JUS
tice OF charging this denial of social
equality TO prejudice, as we usually
understand the word. Perhaps it is
born OF something 50 much deeper and
more imPerious than prejudice as to
amOllnt to racial instinct. Sg

Yesterday two subscriptions circu-

one gentleman heads the list with
800. The idea is To raise $1,000 which
is to go towards securing good foot
ball coach for the next seasons team.
The purpose is to establish Il fund
so that a good coach can spend ten
weeks with the local team every year.
1t is figured as next year both Rock
Island and Davenport will play at Mo-
line the expenses of the team can be
made by gate receipts so that if ST.
600 is raised by the public spirited
business men and admirers of the
team a football coach will be a per-
manent factor with the team. Some
talk has been made of securing Justa

The Mississippi Valley Traction
company, the company recently or
gained to take over the property of
the Moline, East Moline & WATERFOWL
railroad. has purchased that road and
in the purchase there lies significance
of great extensions and developments
for next year. The company has Civ
en- a trust deed for $6O0,0 in favor of
the Illinois Trust & Savings bank of
Chicago, to secure the issue of bonds
covering the purchase of the present
interurban system between Moline,
East Moline, Watertown, Campbell's
island and New Shops. and for money
advanced to pay for extensions to be
made next year both in extending the
road and in developing Campbell's
island as a summer resort. An official
of the company states that the trans
action means that the track will be
extended up the river this next sum-
mer, in all likelihood to Port Byron
and perhaps further. Toward the east
the line will be pushed to Rock river
at once and ultimately to Geneseo.
This road intends to construct line
to Sterling either by way of the river
bank and Fulton, or by way of Erie,
and become part of the several routes
reaching out toward the tri-cities.

MOLINE MENTION

a train of 30 cars loaded exclusively
with Moline PIow company goods
was sent out of Moline Saturday over
the Burlington road. The destination
of the cars is New York City, and the
destination of the shipment is South
America, the entire consignment be-
ing for one dealer in the southern
hemisphere. The shipment will be
transferred to an ocean vessel at New
York. This consignment represents
one of the largest individual ship
ments ever leaving Moline in a day.
1t included 1900 boxes and each box
represented an average weight of 700
pounds. 1t was merely coincidence
that SO large consignment was sent
out in a single day, and the fact was
made possible by some record pack
ing by the pillow company's force. One
man alone packed 80 plows in ten
hours, and anyone who realizes how
carefully the goods are prepared for
their long journey will appreciate
that packer has to ''go some to

THOSE FAKE DISPATCHES.

The Turk is as noted for his treachery
as have become the Balkan dispatches,
with which the world has recently been
supplied, for their inaccuracy. Today
we hear that Adrianople is burning
while tomorrow comes the startling in
formation that Ferid Pasha has carried
the whole of Bulgaria off and hidden
it in a dark corner. Then the man at
the other end of the wire makes it hot,
to the effect that eighty-five towns
have been RACED and the inhabitants
inhumanly put to death. Next, all for
mer news" is called off and a new
report Matched to keep the world
guessing. The only authentic dispatch
yet received which has any reasonable
foundation on fact and which needs no
alibi is, that: "Ibahim Pasha is march
ing on the insurgents at the head of
10000 Douglas Patent Closets"
