Of the Chicago Tribune says that Vermont,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa, have
raised theirfull quotas under the 500 900 call.
Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri. very nearly
SO; Pennsylvania and Kentucky continue to
make the worst showing.
The same authority states that it is not
true that as soon as the impending draft is
completed another will be ordered, but a
proposition is entertained in the War De.
partment to make an additional call for 200
600 men before the draft is made, in order to
make up for the deficiency to be caused by
the transfer Of men from the army to the ma
Wy, and TO raise and keep ready for emcrgen
cies two large reserve bodies, one to be form
ed in the West. and the other in the East.

A SwIEDLE ExPosED.-Some public spirit
ed person in New York, has taken the trouble
70 thoroughly investigate one of the numer-
Gus plans to swindle the soldiers and others
through advertisements Of jewelry, watches,
&c, to be sold at one dollar each. lilo in
vested one hundred dollars in the purchase
Of certificates, each Of which called for a
specified article Of jewelry, the total value of
which articles was SO, 15S, the several articles
70 be delivered on the payment Of one dollar
additional on each certificate. lie then Sc
lscted one hundred of these certificates of
the highest certified value, and presented
them with the required one dollar each, and
drew the articles mentioned, which were Ger.
tilted to be Of the total value of $500. They
purportcd to be Of gold or silver, and if not
OF these materials had no market value. lie
then sent the whole batch to the U. S. Assay
Office at New York, to ascertain their value.
The Assayer's certificate shows that in 2ll
articles Of jewelry, weighing before melting
sixty ounces. purporing to be gold or silver,
and to be worth $500, there was really silver
TO the value Of 1884, and gold TO the value
Of $7,3l. So that for an outlay of $500, a
value Of $l2 ,65' was actually obtained.
This exposure shows what bogus jewclry
is really worth. People who wish to buy il
may 30 on and do 80. But they need not
complain afterwards of the fraud. 1t is al.
ways safe to assume that these who offer to
sell goods Of any kind below market value
nre cheating you and mean TO cheat you.

NORTHERN IOWA ANDTHE JUDGE


There is no disputing the fact that the
Northern portion Of the State has not been
treated fairly in the distribution Of State of.
fees. Much open dissatisfaction has been
expressed at this, and not without proyoca.
ton. Our only remedy lies in numbers. So
long as the southern and middle portion of
the State have preponderance Of voters, 80
long will they continue to monopolize the
positions of honor and profit. Proverbially,
human nature is selfish, and especially is
this true of political human nature, if we
may so express it. In politics as in war,
right is might, and we are not prepared to
say that if We Of the north had the inside
track Of tho south, we should not be equally
as selfish as thcy,-though there would be
nothing honorable in it, but would be al.
together blamewcrthy. Until we have the
strength 10 enforce our rights, VIC must do
the best we can. We regret to observe that
few men from this part of the State are
fouling their own nests, and operating to
the disadvantage Of our people generally. If
men arc outvoted in fair convention, and
then 60 home and publicly denounce the
nominees Of that convention and threaten to
bring out independent candidates, even though
they finally yield tardy and lukewarm sup.
port, they cannot reasonably expect fagois
from those nominees after they are elected.
On the contrary if they would good natured-
ly abide by tho decision of State Conven-
lions, and give the nominees hearty and
strong support, they would probably not be
so totally ignored in tho distribution Of pub
lie favors as they now are. We are certainly
in bad shape, but can we truly say that it is
not in great measure the fault Of certain
r-sighted, shallow politicians, who have
pursued q course calculated to
make bad state of affairs worse than it
would have been, had they taken a wiser
course to remedy the evil.
The appointment, by the Governor, Of Hon.
c. c. Cole as one Of the Judges Of the Su-
premc Court, is openly denounced by these
men, who declare that it is another blow at
the Northern part Of the State,-but another
insult added to the already long list. In this
case We must confess we "don't see it," The
petition in favor of Mr.. Coles appointment
was signed by two thirds of the members Of
both houses Of the Legislature. Is it not
fair to suppose that those members repre-
scented the feelings ;of their Constituents p
Then again the North had two candidates.
Judge Williams and Reuben Noble Each
had friends pressing his claims, and the ap-
pointment Of either would have given offence
to the friends of the other A house divided
against itself cannot stand,-remembcr that
another time, good friends. We do rot see
how Gov. Stone could have done other than
he did, and be consistent. Mr.. Cole had
two-thrds of the Legislature in his favor
the other ne,third being divided between
the other aspirants. Gov. Stone would be
more than human, when remembering the
course pursued towards him by the very men
who now sought an appointment at his hands,
if he did not secretly rejoice over the public
expression which made his duty plain.

CEDAR FALLS.

From an article in the Iesa Religious Neus.
lettsr, entitled "Our Churches on the line Of
the Dubuque and Sioux City r. R." We clip
the following:
The town is mainly on the west side of the
river, is pleasantly skirted with timber, aud
with the exception Of its business streets, is
located on high ground with a surface gener-
ally somewhat uneven and broken. 1t has
been the terminus Of the rail road a sufficient
length OF time to make it one Of the most
important business points in the interior OF
the State. 1t is the market town of vast
region 1T country lying west and north west,
while the valley of the upper Cedar, with its
multitudincus farms and Furnishing towns
furnishes abundant and increasing contribu-
tons to its prosperity. Its growth could not
well be otherwise than rapid. The present
population is between twenty five hundred
and three thousand; and though the cars will
soon pass on and take with them much of
tho present trade of the place, it has. in the
rich and beautiful country by which it is
surrounded, and in its almos, uncqualcd and
inexhaustible water power, ard especially in
the enterprising character of its citizens, re.
sources that insure its permanent success
hS StSSatlVhti tlcIc Was OIxAIi-
lied in the summer of 1860, and has been
from the beginning under the pastoral care
Of Rev. L. b. Fifield Their place of worship
is very pleasant and commodious Hall, Blu,
the TIVE flights Of stairs to be mounted in
reaching it, are of necessity & serious draw.
back upon the growth and prosperity of the
congregation. 1t speaks well for tue charac-
ter of the m!nistratiOns there enjoyed and for
the general efficiency and influence Of the
church, that in spite of this obstacle the
membership is ROW thirty nine. and rela
lively good attendance upon public worship
is maintained. Ali that seems necessary to
give the church a permanen: and acknowl.
edged place among tho leading institutions
and influences Of the town, is an appropriate
church edtics. This We hope will oe secured
during the coming summer. A bette. time
10 make the effort is not likely soon TO occur
and the enterprising business men in the
church, Of whom it has liberal share, have
not been slow to appreciate the fact, aid oct
accordingly.
