OUR STATE.

CROPs.-The crops look splendidlv thus
far. but if the present dry weather contin-
ues, the result will be necessarily unfayOr-
able. Wheat is looking well, but we hear
some fears expressed of the bugs, as the
little pests have already made their
appearance. Corn is very good, aud our
armers are busy with the cultivators this
week.-West Union.
The Upton Adrertiser says the crops
generally look well in that locality. The
chiuch bug is at work some little in the
wheat and barley. We advise all .scroak.
ers" about the crops. to stop their .'croak.
ing" and so to work. Farmers are too
apt to grumble, and find fault about the
weather. It's one among the many plans
they take to raise the price Of produce
They do not seem to realize the fact that
they are grumbling about the ways OF
Providence. Such men deserve but small
crops.
The State Register, in speaking Of the cap
itol OF our State, says:
1t was predicted four years ago. when
Des Moines was suffering severely from

walton and desperation would reign thro'
AL our streets. False prophets! Croakers!
Lying seers! Des Moines has outlived the
dlspensation of wrath, and u career of ex.
traordlnary prosperity has commenced.

~ We don't know but Senator Hale
has really done some good in his official
position. His defense of criminal for the
modest fee of $1,000, has secured the pas
sage Of an act which prohibits such conduct
in future on the part Of Members of Con-
gross. 1t is said that theearly Romans had
no law against parricide, because they
deemed such q crime incredible. We have
had no law prohibiting Senators from ex-
ercising their influence to shield those who
were guilty of defrauding the Treasury, for
the same reason. Hale has shown that q
Senator can 50 degrade and dishonor him.
SELF. As the offense is proven possible, i,
is well to have penalty affixed to it. HI
has done that much good. If he thinks il
an honorable evidence of his influence
what a monstrous ''thick hide he mus
have!

~ Read this abominable lie:

AL the calls by the President up to the
present time foot up 2, 239, 900, to which an
addition Is to he made on July LIST of $780,
700. When we consider that the whole
vote in all the loyal States ID 1860 was only
about 3,5OO,OOO, Lincoln is after the last
man in hurry.
Now read this sweet-scented paragraph:
The country has abundant reason to re-
joice over the success of Gen. Grant and his
army thus far, and we have every reason
to hope that the hearts of all Union lowing
citizens may soon be made to rejoice still
more over the downfall Of the chosen cap
ital of the rebels against the lawful author
lty of the federal government.
Both Of the above paragraphs are from
the ke0kuk Constitution. Did ever man
before, see such bare-faced Inconsistency?
In one breath he denounces the Admins
tration for calling for men to put down the
rebellion, and in the next he aays the
country has every reason to rejoice over
the success Of the army under Grantv'
There is no law, we believe, to punish q
man for making fool Of himself, and the
only way known to get rid of such mon
sters, is to coax them to commit suicide!

Now Is xour Chance.

The Secretary Of the Treasury offers
bonds, bearing six per cent interest, pay
able in gold, semi-anuually, on the LIST Of
July and January in each year, and
redeemab!e after the 30th of June, 1881, to
the amount of sebenty-dye millions of dol
lars, for which bids for fifty dollars, one
hundred dollars, and any multiple of one
hundred dollars will be received until the
the 18th of this month. Bids will be recei-
we'd at the Office Of the Treasurer Of the
United States, at Washington, the Assis-
tant Treasurers at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia or st. Louis, or at the desig-
mated depositaries at Baltimore, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, Detroit or
Buffalo.
1t must be understood that this sum is
not, like the 1O-4O's, offered at par, but to
the highest bidders; Those who offer the
most draw the prize. 1t is a long loan
draws six per cent in coin, and is worth
and will bring much more in the market
than either the 500, or 10-4Os. 1t is one in
which all the capitalists in the country will
make haste to invest all the money they
know the value. It is worth high pre-
MUM to-day, and hereafter will command
much higher price. The bonds due in
1881, of which there are some fly millions
out, now sell at about fifteen per cent pre-.
MUM. The interest, which is payable in
specie, is equivalent to over eleven per
cent. interest in currency at the present
rate of gold.
This loan is offered to the whole people
in sums at which all who have any sur
plus are enabled to invest. It is desirable
that it should be held as much by the mass
of the people, and as little by the capital.
lists and foreigners as is possible. There
are ten days in which subscriptions will be
| received. Our advice is that all who car
take any of this loan, so right in and do it
Make your bid, say how much you will
take, what premium you will give, send
the two per cent pledge with it, and make
your offer as high as you can. Don't be
afraid to venture. Buy while you can. Il
the people don't take, the bankers will, and
make allthe profit.

Va The matter about which Mr., Mayor
Sherman, of Chicago, is threatened with
impeachment is for receiving bride of ten
thousand dollars from the North Chicago
City Railway Company. The Post, the
Democratic paper of that city, publishes
what 1t alleges is copy OF the agreement
entered into between his Honor, the May
or, and the Company, dated June 18th,
1868. This document shows, that Sherman
believed that the construction or an ex-
|tension Of the Company's track along
North and South Clark streets would
greatly injure and damage said streets :
that the Company had delivered to him
one hundred shares Of their capital stock
and that he agreed to return said stock.

Der last an ordinance of the city should be
