WE notice, by the report of the city clerk,
in Davenport, that, during the past year they
have paid ''for salaries S., 015.26." In Rock
Island, during the same time, we have only
paid for salaries 81, 295.46. In Davernport
they paid ''for printing and advertising ST.
524 80" In Rock Island, during the same
time, our city paid only S43S. 00-and por-
tion of that sum properly belongs to the
previous year. The printing and advertising
bill in Rock Island averages about $500 a
year-between $500, and S400, and the
profits of the Office of city printer do not
amount to hundred dollars year. We pub
lish the council proceedings free of charge
The city ought to pay for publishing them.
In Davenport, they pay the rent of an office
for their police magistrate, and find him coal
and gas. They pay their city marshal 5000,
city clerk 81 ,000 city attorney $500, mayor
500, aldermen about about 81, 200 assessor
and deputy collector $1,000 street
commissioner big salary and so on through
the list.
Our city affairs have been managed with
great ecOuOmys uuueE ndyOI OdFeupurL du-
ministration-in fact the pay for some of the
Offices will hardly command the services of
competent men. Where the salary will not
command the services of suitable men, it ought
TO be raised until it will do so-but we do not
think it policy to raise any salary while it
Will command the services of proper men for
the place.

A PATTERN SIpEwALK.-Mr. W. B. Gren.
nell is putting down fine sidewalk. of Joliet
stone, around his residence, on the corner of
Illinois and Otter streets, which is a pattern
for our citizens to follow. There must, ne
cessarily, be a great deal of new sidewalk
built in town, this summer, as most of the
walks are rotted out,-and we hope our citi-
zens will replace the old, rotton rickety
planks and boards with permanent stone
walks, Lumber is so scarce and high that it
is economy to build permanent stone walks.
Go and look at Grinnel's walk and talk with
him about the cost, and we are sure you will
order the stone from Joliet.

a curious calculation has been made
lately by savant we'll known in Paris
for his peculiar antipathy to the fly He
collected three thousand flies in a room
measuring two cubic metres; on the
floor he spread pounded loaf of sugar.
At the end of four days he went in to in
vestigate the result of his experiment.
There remained tablespoonful of sugar.
This statistician therefore calculates that.
sugar being at the rate of thirteen cents
pound, fly costs the country twenty
cents from its birth to its demise.
