PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE 0rsIcE,
Oe5 Muiups Feb H. 1891 (

EXECUTIVE OrsIcS,
Des Moines, Feb. II, 1904. (
! am advised by numerous letters from
sources deemed reliable, that large num- bers
of men qualified for military duty, are pre-
pairing to depart at an early day beyond the
Missouri 1t is useless to disguise the plain
object OF this sudden hegira westward in the
midst Of winter, and months in advance Of
the season at which vegetation appears on
the plains.
None other than reasons Of most cxtracr
binary character could induce men to leave
comfortable homes in the midst of plenty, at
a season so unpropitous, to incur the priva.
tons incident to a journey across an unsettled
and barren country Men whe are capable
of MI undertaking SO arduous, and able to
delve in the gold mines Of Colorado, Nevada
and Idaho, would make excellent msterial for
filing up the wasted ranks of the Union
Army. Such men are abundantly able to
shoulder their muskets and perform soldiers
duties.
The imperative demands Of the public ser,
vice are paramount to all private or personal
considerations. While men are required
from Iowa to supply the army, We have
none to spare for gold hunting in the Rocky
Mountains, or the valleys beyond. Those
who have so far, during this great struggle
avoided the stern demands Of patriotic duty,
and now attempt to skulk awayy cannot be
allowed to leave the State until our obliga-
tons to the General Government are fully
and honorably discharged.
/ II this unreasonable departure be prompt.
! ed by solcitudc to avoid the impending
draft, their purpose can be more honorably
/ ac,ompliS shed nv re,uaipinr at home usiNp
the necessary means and eXcrting their in.
/ huence to induce others to volunteer, or by
volunteering themselves.
! Believing that gross injustice would be done
/ to our earnest and patriotic citizens, both al
home and in The field, by allowing this ero-
dus to take place, and that the necessities Of
the occasion require this intervention,
HEREBY FORBID all citizens Of Iowa removing
| beyond the limits of the State, before the
10th day of March next.
Provost Marshals will be instructed by
proper authority to co operate with me in
making this Proclamation effective; and mil
itary commanders along the Missouri are re,
specially requested to place sufficient guards
Of soldiers at all the crossings Of that river
between Leavenworth and Sioux City, to Ell
force its proper execution.
No persons will be permitted to leave the
State, in that direction, without proper pass
from tho Provost Marshal of the District il
which he claims to reside; and passes will
be granted to those only who make satisfac
tory.proof that they are going out Of the State
for temporary purpose, and Of their inten
ton to return and be in the State on the lOtf
day Of March.

IT should be borne in mind that the Coy.

After that the old 500 bounty will be all
the volunteer will receive. This should be
generally known, SO that if there are any

the shape OF bounties. In three days the

having filed their quotas must stand thu

IDAHO A HuMBuG.-As set off to the big
yarns that have been told of the gold mines
Of Idaho, we have the following furnished the
Chicago Tribune by lis special correspondent
at Columbus, Ohio:
have seen reliable gentleman just from
Idaho. and he says the story about that fif-
teen millions in gold awaiting transportation,
is all bosh; and adds that there is not gold
enough dug out in the whole territory to pay
the expense Of getting the emigrants back
home, and that all these big stories telegraph
ed from St. Paul and New York, just before
spring opens, are the fabrica!ions Of specu-
lators to get up rush of deluded emigrants.
The same paper says that Capt. Fiske,
whom we referred to last week as telling
large stories about Idaho, is given to brandy
and blowing, and is not to be relied on.

PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.

The National Committee met in Washing
ton on Monday last. and selected Baltimore
as the place Of holding the next Union Pres
idential Convention, en- the 7th Of juno
Only those States which are represented in
Congress will be allowed to send delegates
1t will be noticed by reading the call, which
may be found below, that all partisanship is
ignored, and simply appeals to all in favor of
supprcssing the rebellion, with the cause
thereof, by vigorous war. Each State is en-
titled to four delegates for the State at large,
and two for each Congressional. District
Resolutions were adopted inviting the Terri.
tories and the District Of Columbia to send
delegates, subject to the determination 10y the
Convention of their light to vote. What
change has three short years wrought in pub
lic opinion in Maryland, and especially in
Baltimore. Then that State was hostile to
the Union, and in the city where is now call
ed the Union Presidential Convention was
shed the first blood poured out by Northern
patriots in defence Of the Government. Then
even large bodies Of armed men could not
pass through her streets without meeting
with bloody resistance; now the most radi
cal Unionist can walk her thoroughfarcs alone
and unarmed without fear Of molestation.~-
Then the Legislature Of that State notified
the Government that no more Union troops
would be permitted to pass over the soil of
Maryland on their way to the defence Of the
belcaguercd Capitol; while to-day her State
Convention emphatically declares in..favor Of
the denomination of Mr.. Lincoln.
Surely no one can say that the Union
cause is not gaining rapidly when such com
plcte and signal rcvulsions Of opinion are
taking place all over the land, not merely
in Maryland, but in many other States and
localities TINT at the breaking out of the re
bellon were as traitorous as she. The good
work speeds brayely--o and we catch a
glimpse of the dawning that heralLs the
bright day Of peace.
