HaWley's Appointments.

What must the voters of this district think
of congressman who will devote his frs,
two years in congress to buying re-
nomination and by SO doing disregard the
interests of the whole district and "go back
on his friends. This has been the course Of
John B. Hawley, and one of the means used
to accomplish this is shown in the
following taken from the Chicago Times.
Rock Island should not feel very vel
satisfied with John b. Hawley's revenue
appointments. He has taken the office o.
of collector and assessor from Quincy
because Adams county voted against him
but did not give either to Rock Island
county, though that county has never had
either Office. Rock Island and Adams
counties pay nineteen -twentietbs of the
government tax in that district, but Hawley
ignores them, and appoints the collector
from Hancock and let's ex congressman
Harding, of Warren, select one Reed, o
th at county, for assessor.

ADVERTISING.

This is emphstically an advertising age
made so by the success of those men who
have prscsiced it the most scientifically.
Many have been led to disregard the suress
and most effective means of letting the pub
lie know where they are and what they have
to sell-that of newspapers, q good home
paper, read by tie people from whom they
expect to obtain trade. That the columns
of daily and weekly paper is the best for
all kinds of business is shown by tho transi.
tory existence of all the many advertising
lodges tha. have flooded the country during
the past few years. This is also the experii
ence of the most successful advertisers and
business men in the country, as we'll as the
opinion of one of the most extensive and
successful advertising agencies in the world
Of course We refer to that of Geo. P. Rowel
Il Co., of New York. As q science, none
understand the business better than Mr.
Rowell and his partner, Mr. Kent None
have been more successful in reducing to
order all the vexations and annoyances at
tending large advertising business, and, we
think we express the sentiments of every
publisher, when we say they have the entire
confidence and esteem of all publishers.
They owe this to being prompt with adver-
tissrs and publishers, and to the new
features which they have introduced in the
business, which we have not time to discuss
IN an ordinary newspaper acticle, but which
may be understood from their American
Newspaper Directory. work that can be

ness man In the country, and is considered
BY all who have given any attention to the
subject to be the most complete and scienti-
nc work upon advertising ever issued. The
new features introduced by this agency not
only meet the approval of all publishers,
but are of inoalculable benefit to sdyert;ser.

Questions for John B. Hswlsy and the Rocl

Island Union.
Why is the United States the second

Why the government gets only $400, 900,
600 when the people pay 100000, 900
taxes?
Why did the very loyal soldier-loving

ties through Possmaster's?
Why did Hswley vote to give railroads

steads q?
Why were the congressional expenditures
during Is months of Grants administration
four times what they were during the same
time under Buchanan's.
Why were these expenditures during the

three hundred thousand dollars more than
during the same length of time under
Johnson's administration?
Why did Hawley vote to do away with
the tax on gross receipts and to continue
the infamous income tax?
Why did Hawley vote to relieve rich

taxes and allow the taxation of other prop
erty to make up the deficiency
Why did he vote to excuse rich capital
lists from paying over tac,cnty millions of
tax on incomes, and make the farmer pay
two and half per cent on his scanty in

Why did Hswley adrise the authoritie,
at. Washington to kiN both cfhe bills FOR a
horse railway across the government bridge
at this point?
Why did Hawley outherod Herod in the
most Infamous speech, ON the admission of
Virginia?
What special claims has Hawley to be
returned to the seat he has disgraced?
What single vote did he cpst in the inter

ests?
Where and when has he exhibited any
of those qualities of craftsmanship that fit a

Where is the man that can bring the first
us. charge agAns, Mr.. Gable that he is not
all that the people desire for an able, homes,

Hawley begs and buys bis nomination
Mr.. Cable has the nomination forced upon
him.
Where is the man who will answer these
questions? is it John B. Hswley? Is it the
editor of The Union?
Where is the man?
All through the length of the district
comes the echo-tChere.
From the farmysrds-from the pillow fields
from the workshops-from the stores Of
the cities and villsges-from every place
where q republican can be found comes the

satisfactory. Another older and Just as
reliable agency is that of John Hooper l.
Co., of New York. This agency has stood
at the head Of the business for years. and is
now merged into Rowelps agency, and their
extensive business will be carried on as one
concern, and with greater success to the
patrons of both, as the valuable experiences
and unsurpassed facilities of both will now
be united and work together. Their Offices
can be found in the New York Times build

of no place in oil New York where visitors
can better receive news from home, be they

thousand of the leading American publica-

French Newspapers.

IT is a remarkable fact that adver-
Using by means Of newspapers seems
only to be appreciated by the Anglo
Saxon race. Take up a Figaro Of six
months back, a period when that
paper was in its zenith, and you find
merely one of its four pages devoted
to advertisements, and yet it was the
most widely circulated paper in
France. Again, The Independence
Beige, which ranks in European
influence next to the Times, and
enjoys a circulation throughout the
world, only has sufficient advertise
ments to cover portion Of a single
page. 1t Is mnci. the same with the
continental papers. Anotherstrange
feature, in French papers especially,
is that they apparently either have a
difficulty in filing treir columns
even at the most exciting times, or
that their. readers prefer some rub
bishy novel to information regarding
important current events. For ex-
ample, the French journals have
been carrying on their wretched
feuiizet0as at time when their coun-
try has been convulsed in this awful
struggle, when any one one would
have supposed that every inch OF
SPACE would have been precious, and
when American and English journ-
ais are daily devoting to record OF
the war nearly as much type rs
whole copy Of the Ffg1ro contains.
Is there not in thisa something pain
fully indicative Of "a want Of earnest
ness in the people nf France.-E1.
