The ONLY WAY TO GET OUT or DEBT 10 70
PAT our-The people of Iowa have, IS We
believe, settled down in the conviction that the
best and only thing they can do to bring back
prosperity and good times is to convert what
ever they have into the means Of paying their
debts, get square with the world aud make .
new start. Some deluded persons supposed
banks would deliver the State from the financial
troubles which beset our people. Others thought
estate Aid" and others stay aud appraisement
laws the panacea for our ills. But the con-
viction is gaining ground that there is Ee virtue
except in liquidation, and are accordingly pay
ing up as fast as they can. There is dispo-
sition every where to make sacrifices and use
every means in ayment of debts. We are OF
opinion that most of the money brought into
the State in payment for hogs, and the amount
was considerable, was used in liquidation OF
debts, end passing from hand to hand, dis
charged and is discharg.ng debts to the amount
Of many millions of dollars, affording relief,
preventing litigation and greatly improving
our condition. Another year, to be marked By
close application to business, good thrifty in
telligent cultivation Of our riqD soil and close
and rigid economy every where, will bring Us
out, unless the elements conspire against us.
| II We are right, as We think We are, in sup
posing that our people have given up all idea
Of relief, except from their own productive in
dustry, and are resolved to use every exertion,
every resources and make every sacrifice to
discharge their debts, We have already entered
upon better state of affairs aRd q rapid re-
storation to prosperous and healthy condition
will soon follow.

TIE NICARAGUA SHIP CANAL.-M. Belly, the
enthusiastic Frenchman, who recently visited
Nicaragua aud obtained the right Of way and
land grants for ship canal across the Isthmus.
is pushing bis scheme in Paris and creating
much interest in it, The veteran explorer Hum
boldt was the first TO discover this route for
ship canal and to point out it's feasibility. Sub.
sequently the present French emperor, when
only prince Napoleon, amused himself by wri-
ting a pamphlet on the subject, and Therefore
feels personal interest in its success, as being
one OF the god-iatNers OF the scheme. M. Belly
proposes to use the Nicaragua river on the cas-
tern side for considerable distance, and then
make straight cut for lake Nicaragua, and an
| other cut on the western side of the lake to
connect it with the Pacific. The whole distance
is less than hundred miles, and N. Belly's es-
Inmates make the whole cost Of canal sufficient
for the largest ships less than twenty four mil
lion dollars. The annual revenue he reckoni
1t ten millions. In addition to the right Of way
the government Of Nicaragua and Costa Rlcs
have granted to N. Belly,s company land OF
each side of the canal quarter OF mile wid'
for the whole distance. II the estimates Of tn.
cost Of construction are nearly correct, it ia ev
ident that the enterprise would prove pro6ta
blc one. The entire eastern commerce Of Europ
and this country would naturally seek this route
and the orient would become the occident.

railroad Progress.

The following article, extracted from Niles
Rsgj.ter. Of Nay 10, 1880, will give the reader
t. ,oler.bly correct idea Of the mode of travel
unop the few miles Of railway at that time in
| ,ner.tioa in this country. Although only COM
sls,sd to the Ohio river within four or hve
,a.,, ,he Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was
Il. first considerable road undertaken in this
country:
.Tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be
travelled in wagons, Is miles to Eliicotts upper
uil, in day or two, at the rate OF at least ten
niles per hour. Tens of thousands will en-
trsce lie opportunity OF seeing the nooiest
work yet attempted in the United States, Of
usgeing rs miles III u hours, without danger
o. i..igue, Of enjoying the fresh air, and pass
mo through one OF the most romantic and
BEAUTIFUL countries that we have-every min
ute presenting something new TO be admired
br arangcrS on the road.
EThe wagons will start at different hours IN
the day-and soon, perhaps, hourly. Each
wagon idrawn by one horse,) will carry from
Is TO 80 persons, with entire convenience. lue
lhirleen miles will be divided into two stages,
.or change Of horses, which may be effecte d
ID about half minute, from the exceileney OF
the gearing The fare will be moderate
These wagons are hung on low springs, ana II
hsrdr seems possible that any accident can
l.pp,n 10 iaiurc passengers, unless OF their own
ssreme carelessness. The carriages, we sup
vq~, cannot be upset, and . powerful lever
tssiatbg against the wheels, will immedlatei,
ebe,a ,he speed OF horse, should any attemp
to 70 forward faster than is desired.
Compare this short horse railroad with 1T
wonderful performance Of 26 miles in two anc
half hours with the $4,000 miles OF Railway
NOW in the United States, traversed by thou
sands Of locomotive engines with trains o
ears at speed Of twenty, thirty and even tort!
niles per hour, and We are enabled to conipre'
bend in some measure the perfection to whicl
railway building, the construction Of locomo'
i've engines, cars, etc, etc, has been broush
