a. Reader, did you ever happen to take dinner
with the Old Capt. Of the Iowa House? 1fyou have
not, we're little ahead Of you. On several occa-
sions we have wrung oursef in for an invitation to
dinner and always found great variety of :" fixins
dshed up in the finest style. On Sunday last was
one of these occasions, and ever since then we've
been considering the matter, and have very nearly
come to the conclusion to take up boarding with the
old Coon, leaving our 'tother half to keep bachelor
hall at home. Several improvements have been
made about the premises, as will be seen by adver-
tsement in another column.

u On the 2sth February, Gen. A. G. Doge, our
Delegate in Congress presented numerous petitions,
from individuals. Among them we notice one signed
by 243 citizens Of Johnson county, for the sale OF the
reserved sections of land adjoining the section grant
cd the Territory aid in the erection Of the Cap-

his influence in procuring confirmation of the pres

Divers petitions from various parts Of the Territory
asking for the establishment Of mail routes were pre-
sened at the same time All referred to appropriate
committees
After the presentation and reference Of the FORE
going petitions, Mr.. DoseE asked and obtained the
unanimous consent Of the House to the adoption Of
the following resolution, to wit:
Resolved, That the Secretary of State be directed
to furnish this House with all information on file

Should an appropriation for this purpose be made,
was done for Burlington, an excellent road can be

trouble and expense. We hope for his success in
this NATTER and feel satisfied that every effort will be

second communication from the President
Of the United States was then read as follows !:
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1912.
10 the House Of representatives.
In my message Of the 7th December, I sug-
gested to Congress the propriety, and, in some
degree, the necessity Of making proper pro-
visions by law, within the pale of the Con-
stitution, for the removal, at their commence
ment, and at the option Of the party, Of all such
cases as might arise in State courts involving
national questions, or questions touching the
faithful observance and discharge Of the inter-
national obligations of the United States, from
such State tribunals to the Federal Judiciary.
| am urged to repeat, at this time, this recon-
mendation. by the receipt Of intelligence, upon
which can rely, that a subject of Great Brit
ain, residing in Upper Canada, has been ar
rested upon charge of connection with the
expedition fitted out by the Canadian authors
ties, by which the :. Caroline y was DESTROYED
and will, in all probability, be subjected to tr-
al IN the Srato courts Of New York. It is
doubtful whether, in this state Of things, should
bis discharge be demanded BY the British
Government, this Government is invested with
any CONTROL over the subject until the case
shall have reached the court Of final resort Of
the State of New York, and been decided in
that Court. And although such delay ought
not, 10 national point Of view, to give cause
Of ombrage to Great Britain, vet the prompt
and instant rendering Of justice to foreign ma
tons should be placed among our highest du-
ties. cannot, therefore, in consideration Of
what properly becomes the United States, and
IN anticipation uf any demand from foreign

in the event of its adoption by Congress, il
would obviate the necessity Of any further pro-
vision for redeeming the Treasury notes requi-
red for the service of the present year, and pay
able in the next. The faculty of expanding
the issue Of exchequer bills to a given extent
was expected to afford facilities that would re-
move all apprehensions Of embarrassment,
while the issue of its MAXIMUM of els, OOO, 900,
resting on $4,000, 900 specie and S5 ,OO0, 600
Of Government stock, 10 be held in reserve to
meet any contingencies Of such issue. and aid
ed by the daily accruing revenue, was regard
ed as placing such issue on a foundation per-
fectly sure and stable.
Should this provision, however, no. be adop-
ted by Congress-, then it il obvious that the
whole amount ofthe Treasury notes authorized
by the late act of Congress will become a bur
oen upon the revenue Of l643, without any adj
equate provision for relief. And, in view Of
this slate Of things, it becomes question of
grave Importance. whether ii would not be adj
vlsabIe to recommend an increase Of the loan
TO an amount sufficient TO absorb the Treasury
notes that viii be outstanding at The end of the
year, and to be applicable in the meantime 10
the redemption Of such as may be offered for
that purpose. But whether this shall be done
OF not, It's obvious that the existing state Of
the Treasury calls for the immediate interycA-
tlon OF Congress to save the good faith OF the
Government. And no effecual expeAieat for
this pursose is perceived, but that Of enlaroinr
.ne term OF SO much of the loan 40 remains 10
90 negotiated to period of at least twelve
years. and securing the payment Of plincipa!

The lecture of MrIlilzheim last Tues
day evening, we were sorry to observe,
was not as usual, we'll attended. Vari-
Gus untoward circumstances prevented
many from improving that favorable OPP
portunity Of being instructed concerning
the manners, customs, and peculiar his
tory Of that singular and most interesting
peoPle-the Jews.
The history of that distinct and isola-
ted race is the only sureAand mark in
the great ocean of the past, and as an
abiding and palpable testimony of the
truth of Holy Writ, cannot fail to be
the subject Of deep and thrilling interest
to the Philosopher, the Moralist and the
Christian.
The Jews, albeit, their glory has de-
parted, though the cloud whose grieeful
umbrage whiomo tempered the bufnng
rays Of an Arabian sky, has long since
withdrawn its protecting mantle from
their heads--must ever be considered the
peculiar people of God. The impress
Of the Great Eternal is upon them, andi
like the ''fated wanderer" OF their own
race, neither time nor change can pre-
vent them from fulfilling the divine die
tum pronounced upon them.
- Ar nations ~ risen, nourished,
:. PASSED away, and nothing but an I'M
substantiated "Troy was" remains in
proof Of their existence Their man
ners, customs, and national peculiarities
have all been swept away, or blended
with those of succeeding generations. But
this nation, like their own Jordan though
forced from is natural channel, passes
on in steady and undertaking course,
untlnged, and uncontaminated by the
thousand contending streams through
which il passes. on its way to the fulfill
ment of its mighty destiny.
~sIt will be remembered that the river Jor.
don in its passage through the Sea of Tiberius
retains its peculiar color and temperament, and
even after its entrance into the Dead Sea
does not mingle with the surrounding wa.
ters.
