Rock Island is adding one to her list nearly every day. The latest acquisition to our indus trial interests is the American Neck yoke company, which promises to de velop into quite an iustitntion. S. Pearson is the sole owner of a patent neckyoke attachment, the tirst installment of which he pro poses to manufacture in R ck Island and place upon the market. The success or failure of the enterprise, he says, will be determined in a few months and rests entirely on how the first installment of 500 sets goes before the public eye. The attach ment is a malleable iron substitute for the leather strap which holds the wagon tongue onto the neckyoke. It is light. inexpensive and "it is believed to be the proper article. air. rearson is not seeking bonus or partners. He wiil have the arti cles manufactured at his own expense and if successful he will reap the profits and if a failure he will suffer alone. He is a conservative mn with good business qualities. He comes from the west, where he was engaged in the carriage making bus iness and he has his family located on Twenty-third street. Mr. Pear son will in all probability leasa a ouuuing in tne lower end of the citr and commence making the neckyoke attachment very soon. . Still There are Others. This makes four new industries actually landed in Rock Island within six weeks and still there are others. The Argus has alluded to some of these, but for good and sufficient reasons details are withheld. It may suffice ti say, however, that beside the making of shoes, of roofing, of im plement goods and neckyoke attach ments in addition to the long exist ing industries here. Rock Island may soon be manufacturing boxes and yeast, too. MINISTER TO GERMANY. Potter Palmer and Ben T. Cable Suggested for the Place. Potter Palmer, the well known Chioago hotel man, is a candidate for the German mission made vacant by the death of Minister Rnnyon. Mr. Palmer's friends have already in stituted an active campaign in Lis oehaif ana propose to put forth everv endeavor to secure favorable consid eration of his candidacy by President Cleveland. The Times-Herald says a aispatcn was received from Wash ington last night from an official of the state department to the effect that the president was not consider ing the question of a successor to Ambassador Runyon. The dispatch continues: "Mr. Palmer has loner possessed the president's esteem and it may be mat the (jhicago man will ultimate ly be chosen, but there is no warrmt as yet for any such assertion. An other Illinois man has been sug gestedBen T. Cable, of Rock Isl and. Mr. Cable is not understood to be a candidate for the place, bat doubtless he would be glad to ac cept it, even for a year and a few months, as he is loud of European life." While it is nuito flattering to Mr. Cable to have his name mentioned in this connection, it is very doubtful if he would accept, and certainly he would make no effort to secure it. It was conceded when Mr. Cleveland was elected that Mr. Cable could have had not only a diplomatic post, but a position in the cabinet, but he steadfastlr declined to bo considered in connection with any oilice. The Abgus knows of no representative of the party in tho state of Illinois more deserving of such distinguished recognition as is now mentioned, or of one better equipped in all re spects to creditably represent the milieu amies ai me court oi a great power abroad.
