Illegal Returns from Moline.

A telegram from this city to the Chicago
papers, speaking of Gest. Cleland & Co.,
trying to defraud the people of this county
out of their choice for Treasurer says:
Porter's friends are aware OF some Irregularities
in Moline Township, and may bring up evidence
which VIII cause the vote OF that township t. be
thrown out. II this is done, = Gnyer, Republican
will be defeated for County Judge.
1t is true that the Moline returns were
not made in accordance with law, and if
thrown out Guyer would be defeated and
Grenel elected-but the illegality is a
mere technical one and no pretence can be
made that the vote returned was not the
vote cast m Moline. Mr.. Porter, Mr.,
Grenell and every member of the Far
mers' Party would scorn to take advantage
Of such a technicality when there was no
pretense that the vote was incorrectly re-
turned. The same reasoning applies to the
Buffalo Prairie case. There is no pretense
that the actual vote cast was not correctly
returned, or that anybody was deprived Of
voting who offered to do so. No one was
injured by the technical illegality in eth.
! er town.

The Human Kitchen and its Dumb Waiter

The Human Kitchen and its Dumb Walters.
The body is supplied with aliment by vessels
which connect the stomach and its anxilaries with
the venous system, and, so to speak, perform the
dumb walters in q restaurant In other words, these
media of communication between the animal
kitchen and its dependents supply to each member
and organ, near or remote, the quantity and kind
of sustenance required to keep 1t going. When the
stomach is derelict in Its duty, the dumb walters
inert obstructed, it Is the peculiar province Of
Hostetters Celebrated Stomach Bitters to strength

OF chronic indigo tion and the emaciation. debility
ana languor which are generally its concomitants.
1t Is, moreover powerful Alternative and eorrec-
tive, and the rapidity with which 1t checks rregu-
arities of the liver and bowels and braces and in
vigorates the nervous system is marvel, not only
to the general public but to profess onal men.

Mr.. Hawley and the Gommit tees.

Mr.. John B. Hawley has been showed
off the Committee on Public Lands entirely,
and the Union suggests that it was 'on ac-
count of his Iowa land grab, which may
be true.
Mr.. Hawley has been put upon the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, which, the In
ION says, is evidently burlesque growing
out of that diarrh1a which so suddenly
brought him home from the war, induced
his resignation as captain of company anC
subsequently made him Congressman,

Standard Sheetings at u cents per yard
at Wadsworth & Parsons. S-dlw&wlt.

Among the bills allowed at the last meeting OF
the City Council were 800 to G. NJ Osborn, and W.
II. Gest, under the head of attorneys fees. Tax
payers would like to know what all these fees are
for-BiOHde Little Sheet.
If the Blonde Little Sheet had desired
to inform the taxpayers he would have
sent to the city clerk aud procured a copy
of the bill and published it for their infor-
nation. We will supply his lack of energy
1t was for attending to a suit commenced
against the city by Robinson, Spencer &
Co., on the ferry matter, and beating them,
and sustaining the citys right to control
the landing of the ferry. The suit was
commenced under Murdocks administra-
ton, and it was Murdock's administration
that ordered the employment of ad-
ditional attorneys. And inasmuch
as the meeting which allowed the bill was
composed of four Republicans and t,co
Democrats THE ARGUS suggests that the
Blonde Little Sheet discipline his own po-
litical friends for allowing the bill, if it was
an improper one.

Division Second Sec 8, of an ordinance
relating to sidewalks requires that ''all
sidewalks within the City shall at all times
be kept open and free from ali obstruc-
tons, barries and implements of every
description. 1t also provides that \
the Mayor, Marshal, Supervisor of Streets
within his district,or any Alderman within
his ward, is hereby authorized to order
any article or thing whatsoever, which
may incumber or obstruct any sidewalk to
be removed" The ordinance then pro-
vides penalties if such obstruction is moi
removed within two hours from the time
of notice 1t is the especial duty of the
police department to see that all ordi-
nances are enforced, this, of course, among
the number, without their attention being
specially called to the matter But, OF
yesterday, their attention was called t.
this ordinance, and it was read to those OF
duty, and they were requested to enforc
it in certain cases then pointed out. The,
neither did it or paid any attention to it
| but spent their time mostly in the offic,
and left their duty unattended to. TIL
Marshal's attention is now especially Gale
to this matter, and if the ordinance cannC
be enforced petition will be presented
the City Council on the subject.

The Board of Supervisors meets tO-mor
row. Its first act should be to reconsider
the hasty and ill-judged action at its last
meeting in abolishing the oath which was
required TO be attached to all bills in order
to verify their correctness and protect the
county from fraud An unfair advantage
was taken of the absence of some mem
bers, on that occasion, to repeal the requir-
ed oath 1t should be restored the very
first thing, and rigidly insisted on in every
case in the future.
Among other things which will be urged
| by those who don't care for expense" will
be the bills for private spree, last sum
mer, from Bloomington. Supervisor Jar
Wis has boosted that those bills will be al
lowed at this meeting, and offered to bel
money on it. They ought to be rejected
Let those who participated in the spree
pay for their own cake, and wine, and CT
gars, and livery teams, and not ask the peo
pie Of the county to pay for their enter,
tainment Mr. Kerr has boosted that he
secured So of his account, at the last meet
ing, by getting Maj. Beardsley to put il
into his bill. This shows that there cannot
be too much vigilance in regard to allowing
bills, and that an oath to their correctness
should always be required The people
want to see the yeas and nays on all suct
matters, so that they can settle with theil
unfaithful servants next April.
