Col. Elliott W. Rice Of the 7th Iowa.
AS the Government seems to be vet
making appointments of Brigadier Gen.
erals, all sincerely hope that the claims Of
this lneritorious and gallant officer will
not be much longer overlooked. He has
been IN more battles than any other Co
lionel from our State, in each Of which he
conducted himself with the GOODNESS, SIX III
and courage of veteran. II seems to us
that if actual merit, actual service (not
in the field only, but in the battlefield
and military talenIof high order are to
have due weight and influence with The
powers that be that Col. Rice will not
much longer be neglected. Some time
ago il was given out, from Washington
City, that no promotions would be made
except they were fairly earned in the Geld
aimee which tame many officers have been
promoted who have nsvsr been in bat.

A CoMRADE In ARMS.
About Duane Wilson'S Structures ON
the Census.

To the Editor of tie Gate CITY:
see that the Secretary of the Iowa
Farmers College has given new exhibi-
ton of his sublime capacity for spreading
himself in print in your daily of the 7th
instant, where he attempts to knock the
census, or the Gate Cty's article thereon,
into q cooked hat No doubt the Secre-
tary's tables which he is "publishing, as
prepared, in the Iowa Homestead will
be perfect pinks of statistical perfection
but that is no sufficient reason why he
should anticipate" by be-pufRug his own
labors and damning with slight praise the
labor of others.
This notorious rushcr-nto print says,
IN effect, that the census puts the amount
of coal, produced in Iowa, fifty times too
small The quantity set down in the cen
sus, and in the Gates article, is 72, 500
bushels. Now. if the Secretary had been
acquainted with the census, or the article
upon which be based his remarks, or had
not been Enthusiastically careless, he
would not have assumed that either the
census or tic article spoke Of 1880
bushels as the total quantity produced IN
the State. The article expressly stated
that the census tooL s4o account of ntann-
! factures Ginning establishments being in
cluded) phose annual productions tcere o.
less ratue Mda Hue hundred dollars. If
the Secretary of the Iowa Farmers College
don't know that our coal mines are almost
universally such as do not fall within the
purview of the census, every body else in
the State does.
And than he must attempt to belttle the
State, and throw discrelit on the census,
by saying that the Sorghum molasses pro
| duetion is SET down one hundred per cent.
too high in the official document. | sus-
pect the farmers of Iowa know how many
gallons of molasses they made very near
ly, if not quite, as well as Duane Wilson
knows, and / am inclined to put as much
faith in their word as in the Secretary's
opinion. The man is not an oracle who
happens to know wheat from Lima beans,
and can properly put them up in their ap-
propriate places in the Farmers College
store rooms. The farmers and the census
are right.
have said this much, Mr.. Editor, be-
cause, as you know, l gave no little time
and study to the article in the Gate City.
which called forth the remarks Of the
Secretary. If the facts in the census are
to be controverted and cavilierly set aside
by every dabbler in Agriculture, or any
other kind of dabbler, we might as well
have ITO census at all. But the census is
IN the main correct, is of national author
ity, and cannot be impugned successfully
by even men of talents and learning. The
facts were correctly stated in the article,
and not by Wilson.

i" The Life Of the Flesh is in the Blood"

Was said by inspiration long before
Harvey's discovery of its circulation had
brought to light its purposes and uses.
Now we know not only that 7" life is in
the blood," but that disease inhabits it
also. Many of the disorders that per-
wade the human frame have their home
in it, thrive and grow in it. The cele-
brated Dr.. J. G. Aver. of-Lowell, has had
regard to this important fact in making a
Remedy to cure these disorders. His Ex-
tract of Sarsaparilla purges out the impu-
rites of the blood and induces healthy
action in it that expels disease. This
looks reasonable, and it is true, for we
know by our own experience. Seldom
as we take any medicine, we have never
theless several times been under obliga.
tions to the skill Of DR.. Aver for the re-
lief which his remedies never fail to AFFORD
us when we are obliged to have recours,
to them.- Catholic, Ratyoe, ~ s..

South has been sadly mistaken in their

the Yankees would not fight for any thing

airy, no poetry in their nature. Perhaps
they have not, but that they are brave,
determined, persevering, they have proved
beyond question.
The trouble with them is that they new
err get tired of anything. They lost all
the battles at first, and after Manassas we
despised them. This year has inaugura-
ted a new order of affairs. We are beat
en- at all points. We do nothing but sur
render and evacuate and while I hate
the Lincolnites more than ever, respect
them-l can't help it-for their dogged

Rail Road Station.
A rumor is current in our streets that
the P. F. w. & G. Railroad Company
have in contemplation the removal of the
Station House from its present central po-
sition to the western Section of the village,
some half mile or further west of the pres
ent location. The business of the road
at this point, for the last year has been
growing to that extent as to demand a
larger space of ground for the building
Of side tracks to accommodate the num-
Der of freight trains that per day meet at
this point. In order to do this, the COM
pany had in process of building an ex-
tension of the side track at present. in use,
but one of our citizens, by whose premi
ses the track passed, has laid an injunc-
ton upon the work, and put an end, for
the time being, to the improvement. The
company in order to avoid further diff
Guilty upon that point, and to give them
of the road here, concluded on going out
of town with their depot. This move
ment, whilst it may be to the benefit Of
the company, will initiate against the in
terest of the village. 1t will put at some
inconvenience the travelling public, and
render transit to and from the station ex-
tremely disagreeable in unpleasant wealth
er. Our citizens should not, if it can be
avoided, permit the change to be made,
and we hope the company will reconsider
the vote, if vote has been had, and de-
cided in favor of removal. The compa
ny however, should at once proceed to
erect Station House on their grounds,
and thus give pleasant quarters to the
employees at this station.
