called Democratic party in the House.
This would seem to indicate very clearly
that the leaders of the organization which
is dubbed the Democratic party are in
sympathy with Fernando. and that the
party is Peace Party, and has put itself
in Congress on a distinctive Peace

Tested deep interest in the Pacific Rail-
road project, and the country is much
indebted to our fellow -townsman, Gene
raj Curtis, while member of Congress,
for the success of the Pacific Railroad bill
in that body. The recent action of the
Preside1t In Exing the eastern e~aa.inss,
on cur western border has secured to our
State, and to all our roads running across
our State, advantages superior to those Of
any Of our sister States. And the stimu-
lus .hus furnished for the extension Of
our roads to the eastern terminus Of the
Pacific, and for immigration TO Iowa will
be Of incalculable benefit to our people
In these benefits our own town, the Des
Moines Valley and the border counties
west of us will participate very largely
For with such connection to the West
the inducements for completing the Fl.
Des Moines road to the Capital, and of
pushing on the State-Line road to an
eventual connection with the Pacific on
our western border are irresistible. And
the completion of these roads, with our
favorable eastern connection. cannot fail
in time TO revive and secure the accom-
plishment of the enterprise ola railroad
bridge over the Mississippi at this place
1t will be seen from the following letter
addressed by Gen. Dix, the President oi
the Pacific Railroad Company, to General
Curtis, that the Directors are wide awake
to the Importance of the work and are
making every effort to push it forward
with the utmost possible dispatch

ing of the Board of Directors of the Union
Pacific R. Z. Co. it was decided to 90 on
with the work the moment the President
of the United States should fix the ter
mination on the Iowa State line. This
he did promptly in the township in which
Omaha lies, and we determined to break
ground at once. We shall put the gra
