The committee appointed by the board
of supervisors to secure plans and specifi-
cations for the building of new county
offices ifs the southeast corner of the
court yard, met ut the county clerk s
office this morning The committee is
composed of Werlich, Brooks. Campbell,
Taylor and Weatherhead. They conferred
with States Attorney Parmenter in regard
to the propriety of erecting IA new build
ING without the consent of the people.
He gave it as his opinion that the matter
should be decided by submitting it to IA
vote of the people. which womb deter
action on it until the next general eletion
a year from next fall The ARGUS is in
favor of prudence and in iudicious use OF
the peoples money but in this case il
thinks the committee will be justified in
going ahead. and erecting the building.
Every intelligent citizen is cognizant of
the fact that the present county offices are
not adequate and of sufficient capacity to
meet all the requirements. The records
are becoming damp and musty, and
scarcity of room is percepfible on every
hand.

party in Springfield. Henry ladders was
legally elected alderman from the Third
ward. and the republicans for a time
refused to scat him, and would
not examine the count to ascertain If he
was entitled to the seat. It was the same
at Springfield. The demo Gratis claimed
the election of McNally, and the republi-
cans of Bradwell. The democrats were
willing to recount the vote, and ascertain
who was justly entitled to the seat, but
The republicans refused. In one sense
the republicans here, acted in tho same
manner as the democrats did in Spring
field, in endeayoring to avoid quorum,
but there was great difference in. the
two situations. At Springfield the dem
ocrats were justified in their action, as the
republicans wanted 10 seat their man
without IA recount Of the ballots, and
when his election was disputed. But
here, it was altogether different ladders
election was not questioned, and the
democrats wished IA committee appointed
to inspect their returns. and their candi-
date seated II the Third ward election
had been contested, and the democrats
had endeavored to seat ladders without
canvass OF the votes, then the republicans
would be justified in preventing quorum.

a Novel Invention.

Mr.. Daniel Mills well known invent
or of Philadelphia. has succeeded at last In
producing button-hole sewing machine
which, it is claimed. by simple auto
matte. process. works serviceable. durable
and properly barred buttonholes for shirts
cuffs, collars, and undergarments. The
machine makes buttonhOle which can
he cut either before or after being sewn.
The sewing is begun at one end one side
is sewed until the required length is reach
ed, and then several stitches are made that
reach the whole width of the intended
hole. which are called barring stitches and
serve TO prevent the ends from being torn
ont. The great obstacle in the way OF
producing perfect automatic machine
has been the devising of simple mechan-
ism that would properly feed the work on
each side successfully and produce the
barred ends the same as if done by hand.
This Mr.. Mills invention will accomplish.
A company of capitalists has been organ
lied for the purpose of manufacturing
the machine.

This is incorrect. The Rock Island

ample of the democratic party in prevent

Gratis were afraid man would be seated

was legally elected and coaldn't get his
seat because McNally, democrat who
was not elected, occupied it, and the dem
ocrats run away Gust like the republican
aldermen in Rock Island) for fear Brad
well would be seated if they did not fac
tiousiy break a quorum. Republicans de
nonned the democrats fearfully, for their
revolutionary work at Springfield, and
then followed their example themselves.
We should think Rock Island republicans
would be ashamed of their leaders for fol
