Quite "A Rit bigger.

Since the subject Of consolidation has
been agitated there have been boasts
made in Moline of the rapid advance
ment that city was making on Rock
Island in point of population. and the as
sertion has been made that Rock Island
is annoyed because Moline is getting to
be nearly as big. The subject is hardly
worth arguing. and simple reference to
official records shows the folly Of the as
sertion out Of which our eastern suburb
is taking so much consolation upon it,
self. The annual report of the school
trustees, which includes the school cen
sus Of the two cities Just made, furnish
es interesting and irrefutable proof. 1t
shows that there are in the city of Mo-
line at the present time 3.S43 children
under 21; in Rock Island 6015, while
within the school age between six and
twenty-one years there are in Moline ?,
599 children. in Rock Island 4l01-a
difference Of about two To one in favor
of Rock Island And this is the ratio of
population; so we are quite a bit big
ger than our over-amhitious suburb yet.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflsned con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fsmmation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will he destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.

LONDON, July 3l.-Lord Randolph Church
III addressed meetin of Conservatives at
Birmingham last veniny, and spoke at
length on the condition of Ireland, giving
his views of what reu edies should be applied
As a first solution of the problep, he advo-
Gated an imperial loar of el00, 0oO, 900, the
proceeds of which, un Der proper restrictions
and guarantees, should be handed over to
tenants with which to purchase their hold
ings such local bodies as controlled the rates
and collected the revenues becoming Sc
curity for the repayment of the money and
the interest.
This scheme, he said, WAS not only con-
sistent with imperial unity. but necessitated
lreland's remaining with representation in
the imperial parliament He thought that
this solution of the question would be salts
factory to lrishmen and that England would
hail it as a happy close TO a struggle of CEN
turtles with the Irish race.

THE case of the clerk in the sixth aud
itor's office who proposes to make night
against removal for purely partisan
reasons will attract wide attention. IL he
should win in this struggle The whole sub
iect of civil service reform would be
broadened out beyond the conception of
its most sanguine agitators. The prece-
dents, positive and negative. are probably
against the clerk, bu; it does not follow
from that that the law has ever been
properly construed. Common sense cer-
tsinly dictates that system designed to
restrict the service Of the government to
worthy persons should make some pro-
vision also for keeping them in place after
they have been chosen, Otherwise it is
in the power Of the partisan chief at any
time to defeat the highest aim of the civil
service rules by making removals and
fresh acquisitions steadily until he has
filled up his office with the subordinates
he wants there for political purposes
Whatever may come of the present case
it is to the interest of the public to have
all it's issues thoroughly sifted and passed
upOn.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3L-Robert Marvel,

culiar case is attracting much attention from
physicians, turned the forty-seventh day of
his fast yesterday and appears to be as strong
as week ago. Within the past two days,
however, his loss of flesh has been more per-
ceptible than any week preceding, his cheeks
being very much sunken and his eyes appear
ing TO fall deeper into theiT sockets. Monday
and Yesterday he drank considerable water,
and possibly pint of milk, but has taken
no solid food.
He sat up in bed several times yesterday,
but was evidently fatigued by the effort He
appears more petulant with each day, and
will not receive attention from any ole but
his granddaughter. Several physicians Wis
tied him yesterday, and made thorough ex-
animation of his throat, but could find moth
ing except what appeared to be a contrac-
ton of the muscles. The weight of opinion
wsAs that the paralysis has affected the mus
cles at the base Of the tongue and the ali
mentary canal only.
Six weeks or so ago Mr. Marvel became
apparently paralyz ed in his throat and una
BILE to swallow, and has remained in that
condition since, except that he became able
q short time since to swallow water or milk.
