The Wheat crop Of Iowa.

We make the following extract from the
Davenport correspondent Of the Chicago
Press
IL would like, in this connection, to al
lude to most absurd statement or estimate
oithe Wheat crop this year in circuls ion,
taken from some CONNIE, cal paper, either
at St. Louis or Cincinnati. 1t is radically
aud ridiculUusly defective. The crop or
lS49 is copied from The census returns Of
1850, and the estimate for the present year
is mere conjecture. The crop Of the welve
States for this year, in the table alluded to,
is n med in round numbers, with OCCASION
ally ayariation OF half million, as in Iowa.
The crop Of 1850 i. named at $50. 900, and
this year, in this State, it is put at 2 500 ,00O
less than u million Of bushels OF increased
Now, anybody knows that the population Of
this State has increased over fifty, nay sew
eu'y-fivc per cent, and the quantity of
wheat in every dissection this year is more
thon double that OF last year. The crop of
1919, which the census OF 1880 enumerated
was very short crop, while that of 1855
will be unprecedented in quantity, both t.
acre and 10 the increase of population, and
the increase in the amount to be gathered
by the eldest farmers. Good judges say
the wheh, crop of Io"a this year will cx,
coed 100000 bushels

The Mob 1sgis,a,urs

II is the general, opinion of the better
portion of the press Of the Free States that
by removing Gov, Recder the Presiden, has
identified himself with Atchison and String
fellow, andapprovcd the proceedings Of the
Missouri Acb Gov. Reeder 10 some ex-
'tcntopposed TIE lawleSs opers,icns in Kan
sas, and when the Legislature met be show
ed conclusively that large portion of those
who presented themselves as members had
no rightfnl claims to seats. The documents
which Gov. Reeder transmit ID, in proof Of
this position. were never examined. and
these illegally elected members not only
kept their own seats. but turned out those
who had the legal and proper CREDENTIALS
Thisis portion Of the facts which makes
the presen, assemslsge a mere legislative
mob, and prevents any Of their acts from
having the least binding power as laws. In
regard to this point the Chicago Press says;
"This is species Of spopular sovereign
"" not contemplated, We Imagine. by isny
considerable portion Of those members Of
Congress who voted FOR the Kansas. Nebras-
ka bill. They ,nly meant that the people
of Kansas should regulate their own affairs
certainly without the Intervention of arm
ed outsiders from Missouri or elsewhere.-
Are we to suppose that the President at that
time contemplated the kind Of popular sov-
ereignty which has been established in Kan
sass At least we must suppose that be
means to maintain the new doctrine. now
that it is practically carried out"

WKrrISG BgIck.-It is important that
every ore engaged in building should be
well inform ed in regard to the durab li,y OF
materials. We publish the following from
an exchange paper:
Very few people, or even builders, are
aware Of the advantage of wetting bricks
before laying thtm, or if aware oft, they
do not practice H.; for of the many houses
now in progress in this city, there are very
few in which vet bricks are used. All wall
twelve inches thick, built of gosd mortar
With bricks well soaked, is strongerin every
respect than one sixteen inches thick built
dry. The reason of this is, tina: ifthe bricks
are well saturated with moisture, they will
not abstract from the mortar the moisture
which is necessary TO it's equalization; and
on the contrary, they will unite chemically
with the mortar, and become as solid as a
rock. On the other hand, If the bricks are
put up dry, they immediately take all the
moisture from the mortar, leaving il to dry
and arden. and the consequence is that,
when building Of this description is taken
down or tumb.es down Of its own accord,
the mortar from il is like SO much sand. -

the fork of two roads, deciding which route
the new conner from below should take
The person whom recognized as a former
landlord approached, and Satan looked at
him, and opening his big book turned 10 his
account.
"Weil, Mr.. j." said Satan edo you think
you ought 10 take the right road to Para
disc, or pass down the left TO my domin-
ions!"
The landlord hesita,ed what reply to
make, for his conscience began to smite
him, when Satan with hideous groan, look
ed at the account and said find Mr.. J.
tina: you owned three houses in S.
street."
II did,"
"What did they cost your
-Four thousand dollars each"
what did you rent them for.''
The landlord here hesitated, and decline
ed answ ering; but he was informed that re-
fractory spirits w,re treated to u brim-
stone bath, and at once confessed that he
obtained five hundred dollars per annum for
each.
81 thought SOL said Satan. at is al
lowable to charge ten per cent on the costs,
if the landlord keeps them in repairs, but
you did not do this, and yet you obtained
over twelve per cent. This was extor,ion,
and therefore you are not my friend. SO
