Circuit Clerk,

In case some one should in writing,
Inform the Circuit Judge and the Chair
man of the Board of Supervisors that our
Circuit Clerk does not comply with the law
in relation to services, it will then be the
duty Of the Circuit Judge and the Board
OF Supervisors to declare the office vacant
and then proceed to appoint some person
to fill the vacancy We think it is the du-
ty of those two courts to recognize the fact
that the law is not complied with and that
vacancy exists, without waiting to be Sin
formed by some written document of a
fact they are already aware of; but if
they don't think so then let them be in
formed in formal way, that the circuit
clerk does not give his time and services to
the duties of the Office as the law requires
that he shall do. The people of this coun-
try are not going to pay Mr. Gould, or any
other man, $1,000 year for merely hold
ing commission, and then pay clerks for
doing the work which he is required to
perform. He is required to work for the
people faithfully and well if they pay him.

The Merchants and the Newspapers.

The remarks of an old printer, who says
some very severe things about what he
calls the ingratitude and the short sight
edness of Chicagos merchants" apply
with equal force to Rock Island. He says
Take the merchants and other bust
ness men of Chicago as class, and they
do less for the newspapers of this city as
advertisers than those of any other city in
the United States-look at the constantly
crowded advertising columns of the Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and St Louis papers, and compare them
with those of Chicagoin this respect And
yet it is a fact that the newspapers of no
city in the United States do so much for
the credit and progress of their city and
the building up of its general trade and
commerce as those Of Chicago. It's also
fact, which | have often nOted-durine
the past eighteen years of my residence
in Chicago-that those merchants and
other business men who most frequently
and literally advertise in the papers, are
the ones who do the great share of the real
business in their lines. This is fact
which any observing man can satisfy him,
self of by keeping watch Of the advertising
columns of the papers and those mer-
chants who most frequently advertise il
them, and the empty stores of those who
do not advertise.

St. Marguerite's Altar Piece.

Some months since Father Cosgrove
commissioned Mr.. John Schmett, an artist
of note who lives in CovingtOn, Ky, to
paint an altar piece for ST. Marguerite IS
Church, to occupy the place of the one de-
stroyed by fire last spring. The artist has
fulfilled his commission, and the painting
has been received The subject treated Is
the same as that illustrated in the former
altar. piece-the sainted Queen Marguerite,
of Scotland, the protecting Saint OF this
Church, dispensing aims among the poor
but the treatment is somewhat different.
The Queen has just descended some steps,
from doorway of her castle, followed by
a maid of honor, and meets an old man, a
care-worn woman with child in her arms,
and little girl, who kneel and extend
their hands to received the Queens gifts.
The figures are all life-size. The Queen
is in the act of dropping IA coin into the
hand of the mother. She wears a crimson
robe with cape and lining of ermine, which
separates in front and shows a tunic Of
deep green and skirt of gold color. On
her head is a crown. Behind her, at the
right, the castle walls and towers loom W

with the late action OF the Board
of Supervisors in regard to publishing It's
proceedings. 1t wants the Board to elther
allow fair compensation to all the papers
or repeal its stingy allowance Of $40 to the

in making the Revie,o the Official organ Oh

would be better for those near sighted ana
close handed members who happen to con
troll the board, either to take open, talr
and manly action or to repeal the stingy
allowance they now so stinglly furnish un
der the name of compensation.
And these remarks apply to every mem
Der of the Board except Sup'rs Lobdell
Wright, Krell, Jarvis, Donaldson, Martin
and Felix, all of whom, at various times
put themselves on record in favor of allow
ing the newspapers something like fai

another man on the Board exhibited an
such fairness on this matter.

WANTED TO BE HEARD FROM,

If anybody has ever used the thorough
and scientific course of treatment recon-
mended by the proprietor of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy for the cure of Cartarrh
and has not been perfectly cured, the pro-
prietor, DR.. r. Y. Pierce, would like to
hear from that person, and by addressing
him at the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
n Y, such person, if there be one, will
hear of something to his or her advantage,
as the Doctor is in earnest when he offers
$500 reward for case of Catarrh which
he cannot cure, and is perfectly able to pay
it if he fails in single case, as any one may
ascertain upon enquiry. The thorough
course of treatment referred to and recon-
mended by DR.. Pierce consists in the use of
DR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with DR..
Pierce Nasal DOuche which is the only
means by which the fluid can be carried
high up and applied to all parts of the ma
sal passages and the chambers connected
herewith in which ulcers exist and from
which the discharge proceeds, In addition
to this thorough application of the Remedy,
which should always be used warm, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as constitutional treat
ment, without which few cases can be cured
as the disease is always constitutional and
must be treated accordingly. This treat
ment has no unpleasant features about it,
and has the advantage ofnever driving the
disease to the lungs as there is danger of
doing by the use of strong, irritating snuffs
or poisonous solutions.
