It is reported that an attempt will be made to force the passage at to night's meeting of the city council of the ordinance vacating to the D.. 1. 1. & X. W road its depot site and ad jacent premises at the foot, of West Seventeenth street, as a measure of relief to the company in view of the pending litigation against that corpor ation. While The Argus, in common with people generally is in full sympa thy with the company in the face of the opposition that has been brought upon it in Hock Island, it is not in fa vor of the abandonment under any circumstances of street rights contig uous to the river. The scope of such a proceeding, no matter how cleverly Worded, may involve the shutting out of other roads coming into the city along the river front, if not the sur render on the part of the city of the control of certain levee rights. It is understood that there is a proposi tion on foot for the company to build out a levee north of its present depot grounds in lieu of the privileges to be granted by the ordinance now sought. That is all very well, but the city has since the commencement of its im proved levee, had one exjericnee in the abandonment of a portion of it cast of Nineteenth 'street that never should have been given away, on Con sideration of certain levee Improve ments there, which the city is still whistling for. The way for the city to retain possession of its levee, is not to let go of it under any condi tion. Quite too much has already been surrendered under one pretext or an other, and the city instead of forfeit ing any further rights should protect what is left for the use of steamboats by driving the sand boats to another landing and permitting them no long er to monopolize the river front, to the disadvantage of steamboat traffic in general. 'Ihe city ught to be glad to afford any support possible to all corpora tions in the enjoyment of their vested rights, especially in view of the series of corporation prosecutions that is now going on in the city, but at the same time it must protect itself. And as far as technical rectification is con cerned, the case of Ihe Tri-City Hall way is pretty fair proof that where there is a determination on the part of an Individual to continue i force such a proceeding will not be daunted by change in the law or the reaffirmation or extension of the rights and privileges that the affected corporations enjoy hep. It is Rock Island's great misfortune that this state of affairs exists, hut the law of self preservation ought not to be dis regarded on the city's part even t meet such an emergency.

FIRST PART OF SMALL ARM TURNED OUT AT ARSENAL Although a force of men has been at work then- for over a week, not until today was the machinery at the small arms factory at Hock Island arsenal set in motion for manufactur ing purposes. A firing pin sleeve, one of the many different parts of the arms brought into shape on different machines, was made today. The only significance this has is that it marks the beginning of actual operations in the small arms plant. With the experts sent on here from. Springfield there are 120 men employed at the factory, and this force will be gradually increased. For some time Oil. Blunt has been employing machinists for the other shops at the arsenal, but he states now that he has a full complement, all machines being occupied, and no more of this class of mechanics will be taken on for the present.

Not only is the feeling among demo crats in the city growing against the recent action of the democratic coun ty committee, but it is extending out into the country as the members of the party rank and file grasp the pur port of the proceeding. That the tie sign of the resolution which can hard ly be said to have prevailed, notwith standing that it was given out as the sense of the meeting, contemplated two purposes does not admit, of doubt. The first object is the muzzling of party expression in the caucuses, where ani line of procedure that the committeemen may adopt is permis sible. The other is the using of the democratic party of Hock Island coun ty as a means of aiding in the election of Looney's coworkt r. John K. Scott, to the office of state's attorsey. de spite the revulsion on the part of the republican party in Rock Island eoun to the influences back of his nomina tion. Scott, as a matter of fact, comes from the same unholy combine, with which Loom y and Phil Miller are af Afiated and: which slated Kennedy for the office of sheritf and ran him for supervisor at the last city-township election, ami for the election of whom Looney did all in his power, although, as it happened, in vain, by first at tempting to riot the democratic city township convention, and thereafter by going into courjt ami endeavoring to have the regular democratic nomi nees omitted from the official ballot. Looney't Waning Influence. Two years ago. through a combine with W'. II. Moore, of Moline, Loom y was given control of the democratic county committee, which to an extent with the continuation of the Moore support he still retains, notwith standing that he stands repudiated and denounced by tin- democrats of the city and township of Hock Island and absolutely without a shadow of influence here. Notwithstanding the advantage that Looney gained- two years ago. it was all he could do to hold the committee at its meeting last Thursday, the country being solid against, him while such inroad- had been made into his representation in Rock Island, that but for Moore's con tinued loyalty to him no such a result would have attended the committee's meeting. It is known that many of the commit tec-men will refuse abso lutely to take advantage of the oppor tunity that is made for dark lantern, brace caucuses, and that the purpose to thwart the honest expression of democrats will thus in many instances fail, and it may be that even if there should, be those unscrupulous enough to undertake to put through such schemes as are plainly contemplated by the framers of the call they will hardly dare to carry it into effect in the face! of the indignation that is pre vailing. Democrat should Turn Oat. In any event, however, it is with democrats to turn out as they did in a number of the wards in Hock Island in the primaries, looking to the city township convention and show that they arc determined to have fairness, and that only representative demo crats are sent to the county conven t ion.
