IMPORTANT RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.
We learn from the Chicago Tribune,
that the conference Of the representatives
Of the Galena and Rock Island Railroad
Companies and the extended line Of the
latter Company through Iowa and Ne
braska and Cedar Rapids aud Missouri
River Companies, has resulted in the
definite settlement to unite the Iowa
roads at point not further west than
the west branch of the Raccoop River or
further east than Marengo, station up
on the Mississippi and Missouri Road,
about thirty miles west of Cedar Rapids.
The new road will be built by both Com
panies, and is to form the main line to
the point of junction with the great Pa
cific, the through business on both lines
(the Rock Island and Galena) to be joint,
both roads participating equally 10 the
profits. Des Moines, Council Bluffs and
Omaha are made points in the new road.
The one road from the point of junction,
instead Of two continuous lines will be
built as rapidly as labor and materials can
be procured

~ From the time that is taken up by
Congressman and Legislators in making
intermiuable aud unintelligible speeches,
one would suppose that every one Of
them was anxious to ego up higher" and
used his present opportunities only to
secure his own advancement. We are
happy to be able to say that such is not
the character Of OUR Congressman or
Legislators. We were led to say this
by letter from Washington which we
saw in the State Reyister. Having spo-
ken Of the other Iowa members, il says
Of Mr. Price:
"His tout ensemble clearly indicates
that Patience has ceased to be virtue
= He has growing conviction
thst coming to Congress does not, with
oil men, mean business; but rather how
to improve tho opportunity to the best
advantage, in order to 60 somewhere
else"
Every one knows that Mr.. Price is
working man. He likes to see things
move, and We don tswonder that he feels
cross when he sees his fellow members
fooling away their time and the money
Of their constituents. Were all members
Of Congress like him, that body would be
better and more useful branch of our
government than it now is. Mr.. Price
is we'll backed in this respect by all the
Iowa members in both Houses. Iowa
now stands in every honorable respect
second 10 no State in the Union. Thanks
to our brave soldiers and able Congress-
men.
What 10 true Of Iowa's delegation at
Washington is also true Of "Old Cedar's s"
delegation at Des Moiues. They are al
ways in their places, ready to vote, ane
speak if need be, on any Of the questions
that come before them. They do no.
speak for Buncombe or pastime, as the
manner of some is, and for this they do
serve praise from their constituents S.
Wero it not for some who are ambition.
to be seen and heard, and are known on
ly from their much speaking, our Legis-
lature could have passed all needed laws
and been home month ago. The people
who elect "blowhards" are the ones whe
are to blame.
