Fertiiixer for Strawberries.

An experiment made last year by my
self, may not come amiss at this time with
those who grow strawberries. procured
half hogshead. filled with rain water;
and put into it one-quarter ola pound OF
common nitre. When the strawberry
plants were blossoning out. gave them
spriDkling of the solution at evening
twice week. until the fruit was nearly
full size. The result was double the
amount of fruit on those where che liquid
was applied to what vas obtained from
those vines, right along the side OF those,
where none Of the Liquid was applied.
Let all give il a trial. J. G K.

HAwLET's INFLUENCE IN CONGRESS. -
That Hawley was @ cypher in congress
except When it came to voting money for
eastern corporations, and voting land grants
to republican favorites is, perhaps, best
illustrated in his failure to have our Camden
Edgington and Aledo mail accom- IN datioDs
changed in accordance with the petition
signad by nearly every business man of this
city, and the above places, and BY very
many living in the country. If he did not
try to have this change made it was a negli-
gence that should lose him the votes OF
every signer Of the petition, however much
he may promise like whipped boy to do
better next time. This is the way We
believe ne is now excusing all Of his short
comings). If he did try and had not inhu.
ence enough to effect change, 20 triiflrng
to them, but of so much Importance to his
constituents, and which would not have cost
the government dollar extra, he certainly
is fit subject to stay at home.
Remembe this all you who are ANNOYED

neglect or his incapacity and lack of influ
ence.

EXPLAIN IT ALL.-Some one has told
Hawley that he must tell the people how he
abored to reduce taxes by voting for the
Act of July last, and he hiss accordingly
commenced his parrot story about the dis
trct, but very thoughtlessly he doesn't tell
them ,rho has been relieved. The special
taxes amounting 10 over ten millions dollars
including bankers, were taken off; and will
Mr. HawieT tell how this benefits the peo
Pile? The Railroads were excused from
pairing over sir million dollars. and vii
Mr. Hawley tell the people how they are
bene Gifted by this DO the roads convey
freight or passengers any cheaper? Cspl
talists were relieved of paying ore" tpenty
million dollars on incomes. On these
three items the government loses S37 ,45s,,
be made up by an increase of general tax
alton, which those without railroad stock
bank stock, and large incomes must pay.
VIII Mr.. Hawley explain these things ?
viii his hacker the Rock Island Union ex-
plain it? Mr.. Hawley can have the use OF
these columns to explain his votes upon
these questions and by doing 30 satisfacto
rily may make large number of democrat
ic votes for himself No, ne dare not put
such expla in black and white where
it will be subjected to criticism. .

editor of the Quincy Herald aud the brighi-

writer and an honest man. True TO his

spent he continued to discharge his duties

DkMOCkAI.C klUNGMi.

Under this heading the Union of this
morning displays good deal of i'll temper
in its attempt to demonstrate that we have
overeharged the county for printing, and
that the Democratic Board Of Supervisors
have allowed the bills. II is but silly at
temdt to dodge the discussion of the main
question, We will give the Union an
answer upon it's questions OF ove7chsrees
and then demand that it return to the main
question.
It asserts that on the 18th of April we
charged $40 for publishing notice to assess
ors sno that the Union bill for the same was
only 81. Again May Dist, that we charged
$3.50 for publishing notice OF meeting u
Supervisors. and the Union bill forthe same
was only 81 so. And again that we m"de
an overcharge of SIC on an advertisement
of proposals.
In reference to these charges we say The
bills show for themselves, and our published
rates show that we made no overcharge on
single item. We don't care two cents what
the Union may have charged for the same.
We think, however, their charges were all
that it was worth TO have the matter pub
hshed in that paper.
1t refers to what we charge C. NJ. Aiken,
VII oh is an old contract not yet expired
However, that's our business. We
can give him still better
instance, if he will call where we
make no charge at all for publishing notices
About the rates of the ARGUS being the
same as those Of the Union We say, it is not
true We're our rates as low as those of the
Onion, or did we cut down on established
prices for the sake of obtaining work we
should be no more able to pay our bills
than the Union is to day. We will have a
fair profit for our work or we won't do it
We don't employ men and make them &c

discount We presume the Unions rates
are all that the proprietor thinks his work Il
worth, and we advise all who want chesE

sEd cheap notices to go to him. We have
our prices and what is more get them. II
any member of the Board of Supervisors
| thinks we have overcharged let him take the
| bills and compare them with a copy OF our
rates which we will furnish to him or any
one else.
| Now Mr.. Union will yon tell the people
JUS, how many dollars they have paid fol
taxes during the past five years. what they
paid it for, what it was spent for and wha

IT Is A FACT
