VERY PROPER Position. In order to as.
enlisted in the Illinois Regiments, and were
credited to that State, with view Of OBJ ain
| ing for Iowa her full share of credits for
| troops in the field, Gen. Baker sent Mr.
Smethem, one Of his chief clerks, to Spring
| field to examine the records in Adjt Gen
Fullcr's office. The privilege of cxamina-
ton wa granted, but Gen. Fuller refused
to certify To the enlistment Of Of Iowa men
in Illinois, for the pur ,ose Of changing the
quotas Of the respective States But to-day
a gentleman appears at Gen. Bakers office
| under direction of Gen. Fuller, to obtain the
names oone Illinois men who had enlisted
| IN Iowa Regiments, from Hancock county,
| asking that Gen. Baker certify, for the puI.
pose Of having the proper credit made to II
linois. Gen. Baker very properly referred
as he had once before in the case Of of O
rcquisition from Moline-he taking the
ground that he will grant no favor fer ILL
nois that Illinois is not willing to grant to
Iowa. Gen. Baker is right about it. lie is
willing to 60 into an examination Of the
rolls of each State with the view Of securing
to each, the just quotas, but not otherwise,
and we hope hope lie will not yield hair.
tsing columns it will be seen that the Gas
Company have been compelled to make a
very slight advance in the price. Every ar
ticle used in tue manufacture of ga, lias
over doubled in price since the war began,
but the price charged for gas remains the
same. In view of this the company find
they cannot continue to make gas at the old.
price without losing money. The addition
they make is a mere tIifie-mucll less than
the advance made by other companies, in
other cities. If those who how take gas,
in this city, would make an effort to induce
their neighbors to take gas also, and thus
double the number CT consumers the price
could he reduced, but untii the ~,
o"' '""''s 'H' eases this will be impossible.
We presume no one will find fault at the
very small advance asked by the company.
