Leader, viz: That the State should
set up Printing Office of its own,
after the fashion of the National
Government Mt Washington. This
plsn also looks very plausible; but
there are nevertheless great ohjec-
tons in the way. In the first place,
as said before, the Office would nec-
essarily have to be very complete
and costly, in order to do great
amounts of work within very short
times, as needed. And then, when
the heavy runs were over, the Office
must lie idle--idle, indeed, the great
er part of the time, because the State
has nowhere near printing .enough
to do to keep such an Office in work.
And while it was idle the Office
would prove, we think, more than
expensive enough to eat upaii profits
it could save to the State. Aud the
State could not legitimately go into
the general Job Printing business, to
keep its Office and workmen em-
ployed. With the Government
Printing Office at Washington the
case is different in every respect.
That Office. vast as it is, is run to its
fullest capacity all the time on Gov
crnment work-as very much Of that
work is of such u nature that it don't
have to be done in any special hurry,
but may run through the year.
But this article Is already too long,
though 50 much remains unsaid. To
sum up, it appears to us that, while
the present system of letting the
State printing has Objectionable fea-
lures, it will be very difficult to find
one not liable to greater objections;
and that no new plan, however
plausible, should be adopted without
very careful consideration, and then
only upon the concurring judgment
of practical men who understand the
business,

duced into Iowa; and a Grange has
been organized here.
All we know of the Order is gained
from the above-na,ned Circular, and
from other published matter. OF
course the inner workings are a
"sealed book" to us outsiders. Judg-
ing from public statements, &C., we
formed the opinion that the Order
was-or at least might be--a good
thing for the Farmers. AT the same
time it seems to us that it is a thing
which-as the saying is-might be
easily "run into the ground" if car
ried too far. That is to say:-If the
Order should aim only at the benefit
of the Farmers, without any opposi-
tion to other classes of society, well
and good; but if there should be in
troduced any element of opposition
to other real and honest interests
say commerce, manufactures, or any
thing of the kind-then it would not
only cause disturbance in society
but would ultimately, as appears to
us, ensure its own destruction.
Now, as to the "reports" that are
named by our correspondent, about
the "Store," &c, &C., we have no
means Of knowing the exact truth
and probably no person has who els
not member of the Grange. But
the subject seems to he one of public
interest; and we would be glad II
some member of the Grange here
would favor us with q communica-
ton setting forth what the Grange
really proposes to do, as to this and
other matters, &C., &c. so far, at
least, as the rules Of the Order may
allow-with such information, in
brief, as to the general design and
objects of the Institution, as might
lcgitimatcly be asked by any indi-
vidual with view to becoming {:
member. So far as its objects and
means appears legitimate aud proper,
OF course we must all wish the Order
well. What say you, gentlemen of
the Grange" Can you enlighten us
further

The Sen0tOrship,

While SO many of the papers of tie
State still keep up the wordy war
about tho next Iowa Senatprship.
those who keep still and say nothing
are liable to be acc,.sed of indiffer.
ence or of some thing worse. For
ourselves, nonths ago we stated that
our decided preference was for Sena-
to: Harlan; and since then, notwith-
standing all the discussions we have
read, we have seen no reason to
change our mind. We think the
people of this County would, if vot-
ing directly upon the question. give
a large majority for Harlan. With
the personal views of our Represent.
atives upon this point we are not
certainly acquainted; but have rea-
son to believe they are both in favor
Of Mr.. Harlan's denomination. Tn.
fortunately, the voice of Marion
County in the Senate will probably
be heard i'm thunder tones against
him-but he'll have to stand the
storm as best he may, since there's
no help for it.
In this state OF circumstances, there
fore, we have not deemed ii neces-
sary to fill our columns with the un-
profitable discussions which have so
long been raging about the Senator
ship; and until something new is
developed, shall probably continue
Of that opinion.

The coming election Of n State
Printer elicits some discussion among
ourexchanges. The Indianola Lead
er, for one, urges the repeal Of the
present law which requires the State
printing to be done at Des Moines,
and argues-or rather, has hitherto
argued-that any responsible printer
in the State should be allowed to bid;
and, if the successful competitor,
allowed to do the printing at his own
office.
There is a certain degree Of fairness
in this idea, apparent on its face;
but we fear that in practice the plan
would hardly prove successful. The
largest and wealthiest publisl,eis,
having the most machinery, and
having to employ numerous work
men anyhow, with the risk of their
being some of the time unemployed, +,
could of course afford to bid much
lower, on large amounts of work, +,
than the country offices possibly
could. And this fact would instantly
have the effect of ruling all but four
or FIVE Offices in the State out Of the
competition; 50 that one of the main
objects Of the aforementioned plan
would be practically nullitled.
And further The competition be-
tween the large Offices, under this
plan, would be SO great that the
work would at first be let at figures
much below its real worth. The
successful competitor would lose
money by his work. There could
then but one Of two results ensue:-
either the States work would be
most miserably done, with numerous
delays and failures; or else the few
large Offices, seeing the "losing prof
its" of their competition, would form
a "ringu and thus secure as high
prices as formerly, or higher. The
truth of the matter is that the State
printing is real "white elephant"
to-well, we might almost say, to
anybody but Mills & Go. of Des
Moines; for itrequires large amount
of machinery, that great quantities
of work may be rushed through in
very short times-and for the rest Of
the year the machinery must lie idle,
"eating itself up" unless the Office
has very large and general run of
work from other sources. TO the
best of our knowledge and belief,
Mills & Co., who have lately done all
the State printing, are the only firm
having both the requisite machinery
and the general run Of work to
make the machinery a saving invest
ment.
Again, if the printing were done
anywhere outside Of the Capital, the
sending forward and back OF copy,
proofs, revises, &C., would not only
considerable expense, but, as
every one can see, would be attend
ed with much risk Of loss and Of in
accuracy. True, this risk would not
be so great now as when the law
above referred to was enacted; be.
cause we have railroads and teIe-
graphs now; but it would still he a
matter Of grave importance for con-
sideratjor.
