| and if elected it will be through sympathy,
and not upon his merits as a sober, steady,
industrious man. But the. ARGUS is of
the opinion that the treasurer's office
should not be peddledsout in that manner
If he il SO deserving of sympathy, why do
not some of his wealthy friends who are
employing hundreds of persons, find a
place for him? Ne, they prefer to saddle
him on the county. He is not the man
that they would give charge of their pri-
vate finances to by = great deal; but they
would not hesitate to pension him on the
people ''out of sympathy
Electing man who has
spent his substance in riotous living to so
important an Office rs that of county treas
urer out of sympathy is not business. It
is not the way that successful business
men transact their affairs. This is the sys-
tenn of |'bossism7 that is now meeting with
such forcible rebuke in New York and
Pennsylvania, and it should be rebuked in
Rock Island county. Fleming is not the
man to make county treasurer, and none
are urging his election.
In Mr. Gould, of Moline, the people have
a gentleman of sebriety, of integrity, CT
industry. He was not nominated out of
sympathy, but upon his merits as a man.
The democrats. knowing the large majority
against which they had to contend, Sc
lected one of the best best men they had
In the party in the hope of inducing sup
port from the opposition, and in case of
Mr.. Gould's election the people can rest
assured that the treasurer's Office will be
administered in a careful, trustworthy
manner

Chaan Fertilizers.

Nearly every farmer goes TO the near
est village to trade. visit & mechanic, or
obtain his letters and papers at least
once a week He often takes load to
market, but he rarely brings one home.
He can. with very little trouble, haul a
load of material that may be obtained
for nothing, and which will be of great
benefit to his land Most village peo-
pie make no use of the ashes produced
in their stoves or of the bones taken
from the meat they consume. Scarcely
any brewer has any use for the hops
that have been boiled in his watts, and
the blacksmith hardly ever saves the
clippings taken from the feet of horses.
All these materials make excellent ma
nure. A barrel of shavings cut from
the hoofs of horses contains more am
monia than is contained in load of
stable manure. Applied to land with
out preparation they might give no inn
mediate results, but they would become
decomposed in time and crops of all
kinds would derive benefit from them.
They may be so treated that they would
produce immediate results. BY cover
ing them with fresh horse manure they
will decompose very rapidly They
may also be leached in barrel and the
water that covered them drawn off and
applied to the plants. Water in which
pieces of horns and hoofs have been
soaked is an excellent manure for
plants that requiring forcing. 1t slim
ulates the growth of tomatoes, rose
bushes and house plants very rapidly,
and emits no offensive odors. A vast
amount of fertilizing material is wasted
in towns that farmers could have the
benefit of with little trouble. York

rELEaRApH1ka WITHOUT WIRES.
Baltimore Sun.

When the telegraph was first invented
two wires were used to conduct the cleo
trio current. 1t was afterward found that
one wire would suffice, and half the ex-
pense of conductors would be saved If the
other wire were grounded SO that the
earth should be made to carry the return
current. Experiments. however, made in
1869 by Mr.. j. B. Lindsay, and repeated
recently by Mr.. w. 81. Preece, electrician
of the British general postotfice, seem to
demonstrate the practicability of telegraph
ing-for distances of one or two hundred
miles at least-without wires. 1t is not
impossible that as the properties of the fac
totum of modern civilization become bet.
ter understood, wires will be largely dis
pensed within the open country and for
transmarine connection. The method
employed by Lindsay was exceedingly sim
pie. lie immersed two sheets of metal in
the Tay, on the southern side, where it is
three-quarters of o mile broad, placing
them several miles apart. Opposite them,
on the other side of the Tay, he immersed
two similar plates. The two plates on the
northern side We're connected with the two
poles of strong galvanie battery; those
on the south side were connected by a wire
passing through coil that would move a
magnetic needle in case current passed
through it. Matters being thus arranged.
KEY in the line on the battery side of the
Tay could be made to give Signals on The
otner side, the needle moving whenever
connection was made between the battery
and the plate adjacent to the key. In a
word the electricity crossed an arm of the
sea, traversed the wire connecting the
plates there located and came back
Only parts, however, of the electricity
supplied by the battery crossed over. Mr..
Lindsay found that its amount might be
increased by increasing the battery power,
by increasing the surface of the immersed
sheets of metal. and by increasing the dis
lance between the plates on given side of
the body of water TO be crossed. The fur
Their apart these sheets are the better. In
his experiment with the Tay Mr.. Lindsay
employed q battery having four square
feet of zinc; the immersed sheets had nine
ty square feet of surface, and the
lateral distance, or the distance,
between the sheets on either side, was
nearly mile. With battery having a
zinc surface of $50 square feet immersed
sheets of 1900 square feet, and q lateral
distance as great as could be obtained in
Great Britain, he thought he could trans
nit telegraphie SIGNALS across the Atlantic.

The campaign is now drawing to a close
and notwithstanding that the ARGUS has
repeatedly asked the Union 80 Inform It's
readers as to whether Mr.. Fleming, the REL
publican candidate for county treasurer,
has been sober, industrious man all his
life, it has carefully eyaded giving the re-
quired information. There are thousands
of people in Rock Island county that know
nothing whatever of the antecedents of the
man who Is seeking to get their noney into
his keeping, and they are entitled to know
whether or not he is the proper person to
have controlof the large sums that come
into the hands of a county treasurer
The fact that the Union has not
dared to give the record of Mr. Fleming,
man it is seeking to elect is proof posi-
tive, and viii be so accepted by all think
ing men, that it is of the opinion the less
the people know of Mr.. Flemlng's record
the better are his chances for election
Everybody knows that the Uaiien would
be only too well pleased ff~it could comel
out in column article extolling the virtues
of its candidate The Union knows that
the less Is said about Nj. Fleming having
led steady, sober life. and that he is a
man that can be implicitly trusted to do
so in future, the more likely hsiF to sue

Castle plates were connected by a wire
passing through Southampton and the
Ryde and Second Point plates by wire
through Newport The circuit completed
itself through the sea. 1t is worth noting
that the experimental was unable to secure
good results with the telephone. Coniect-
ure easily outruns fact. 1t is by no means
proven that the new plan will be more
economical than the older one. Yet it is
evident that Mr.. Freezes paper, read be-
fore the British association, marks out a
line in which considerable advances may
be made
