Hon. NJ. NJ, Walden.

'rac WASH n,ton correspondent o
the Pella Blade makes the following
h rnorable mention Of our Ktpresen
,a,ive in Congress:
Hon. NJ. NJ. Walden is fast acqnir
Ing the reputation OF being one OF the
most interchangeable workers in the
delegation. Ae probably has had
more difficulties to encounter than
my other member from Iowa, owing
to the high character, and popular
standing among the heads Of De.
partments, of his predecessor, whose
friends it is said have interiered with
Mr.. Walden's appointments. This
however is mere rumor, based upon
the assertions OF those whose inter
csts are most intimately involved,
either IN retentiom removal or APP
pointment to Office. Ono fact how
ever is selt-evident that some med
dlesomc individual or individuals,
whether friends o: Mr.. Loughridgc
or not, have sought to impair Mr..
Walden's usefulness to his constitu.
ems by circulating reports calculated
to prejudice his standing with the APP
pointing power, for at every step he
mas taken to procure appointments In
his district he has had to encounter
opposition. This opposition howev-
or is fast giving way, aud to day there
is not = single member from Iowa,
who commands the confidence OF the
heads of Department, and the Presi-
dent more than does Gov. Walden.
The Governor, although feeling that
,hose who ought to be his friends,
are his secret enemies, and doing all
in their power to injure his present
aad defeat his future political, pros
poets, quietly attends to his own bus
mess, relying upon the good sense OF
HE constituents, tor approval of his
conduct as their representative in
Congress.

Vote for the Railroad Tax.

No impartial observer can look at
tho present situation and fail to be
convinced that the present is criti.
cal period in the history of Tama
county. On the events Of the next
week, will depend, without doubt.
the future prosperity of the county.
There is project of railroad which
contemplates route through the
county, north and south, its entire
length 1t will run SO near the cen
ter Of tho county that nearly every
inhabitant in the county cannot but
feel its influence in his business.
The history Of other north and
south roads must not be ignored in
estimating the influence this one will
have. 1t will not only bring rail-
road nearer to the farmers door, it
will add ten cents to every bushel OF
wheat they sell, at least five cents to
every bushcl Of corn and oats they
sell, and add something to the price
of all other produce the farmers SELL
Besides, and additional, it will take
three dollars a ton off every ton of
coal, three dollars off every thous-
and feet OF lumber, they wish to
buy These are figures that our
farmer friends who arc soon to come
10 vote on the railroad tax cannot
afford to ignore. These are figures
which the sensible, shrewd man will
not ignore. or fail TO see the force
of. When a farmer can make, on
the articles Of consumption alone,
in one year, or even two years,
enough to reimburse him for his rail-
road tax, leaving what he makes on
the products OF his farm clear profit,
he is not, if he knows his business,
going TO Withhold his vote fer the tax.
That the facts are as indicated above,
a few moments cyphering will con-
vince any reasonable man. Oar
correspondent from Crystal shows
that on the article of coal. alone,
lama county will be benefited in
one year to the full extent of the
whole amount asked by the railroad
Cheap fuel is the great
need of lama county, a need which
only north and south road can sup
ply, need which tho contemplated
road proposes to supply.

"Linkensale,' one of the editors Of

formed man in regard to Iowa mat
tiers, wrote lately to his paper from
Dc. Moincs concerning the contro.
versv rs to the oolltlc stone, as fol.
lows:
Ineed hardly gay to those who
understand the ways and means, par
ticn!arly the ways and means of poll
ties, thai "oslltic" was the only ap
parent cause OF war. | presume a
foundation OF that stone and good ce.
ment would maintain st. Peters or
y st. Pauls tor indefina,e ages; but
some scientists decided against it,
and the press, taking up the subject,
majority OF the Commissioners ut
last concluded to vote for resembling
the contract. Thus the subject was
a.ain put about where it was when
the Legislature adjourned, year ago
SO it will necessarily come into poll
tics, mlngling with gubcrnat or;al and
Senatorial contests, and other public
questions.
We believe Linkcnsaic hits the
iii! on the head in his opinion tina;
The real merits or demetrits of the
stone hal little to do in deciding the
c!loic. Of the Commissioners. Sim
u'taneous!y with the original award
the press of every county Which had
rival quarry set up 4 howl against the
durability OF oolitc. 1t was almost
impossible that the editors Of those
papers should practically know any
thing abo1t the value of the stone;
ha. they col II howl aud thus aid in
having new deal in the game. They
were aided by papers opposed to
building Capitol at Des Moines at
all. It is idle to suppose that all this
clamor has been without effect. The
Commissioners will PROBABLY find
that there will be dissatisfied parties,
no matter what choice OF material
they may make.-[ Belle PLANE Union.
