Direct Mail to Iowa City.

We perceive quere attached to the
Proposals for carrying the mails on route
No. 1882. This route proposes to carry
the mail "from Burlington by Dodgevlle,
Virginia Grove, Hope Farm. Columbus
City and Port Allen to Iowa City, 80
miles and back, once week." This is
an important route. Virginia Grove,
Hope Farm and Columbus City have a
very large and in.elligen. population, and
they are new entirely destitute of mail
facilities. We think this is one of the
most important routes advertised, and
hope i. may be carried into effect. We
believe j! will pay well, Even during
the sitting of the Legislature Burlington
has no direct communication with Iowa
City. If the extra expense is bar,
could II no. be SO changed as to com
mence at Iowa City and 10 connect with
Route 4570. If that could be done the
mail might overtake the stage at Dodge
vile on its downward trip from Bloom.

mail on its upward trip on Friday morn.

SUB Treasury BiK.-In announcing
the passage Of this bill in the House Of
Represon!asives,the National In.elligencer
says:
This is q bold step Of the dominant
party in Congress. after the emphatic
manner in which the scheme was de-
nounced and rePudaied by the voice Of
the country in 1910. One currency for
the Government and another for the peo-

The M0rnlons.

The settlers in the counties contiguous
to Hancock are holding meetings in con-
sequence Of the signs held out which
indicate an unwillingness on the part of
some Of the Mormons TO remove. We
have seen some very strong resolutions
adopted at meeting in McDonough
county, which set forth that at the Han.
cock Convention last fall, in which manv
oil the counties were represented, solemn
treaty was entered into on the part of the
Mormons in which they pledged them
selves 10 move as body early in the
Spring, provided they were left u1molest-
ed~during the winter. They have not
been disturbed according TO ,ha, stipula.
ton. and The settlers now call upon them
TO go. The time has passed in which
they promised to depart, and the people
are growing very uneasy. The citizens
OF Adams, Hancock, Nc Donough and
several other counties, are organizing
themselves with a view to compel the
Mormons TO fulfil their engagements, and
We should not wonder to hear within one
month Of another Mormon war which
may terminate more tragicslly than any
that has preceded it.
