Among the new Governments al bn
reaus projected is Department. of
Industries The idea is sound one,
and worthy of trial. Under our form
of government the departmental bu-
rcau is merely an organization for
the systematic diffusion of informa.
ton on its speciality. In this view
the stcreotyped Democratic cutlery
of Capitalization has no weight, and
is about as meaningless and ignorant
as most of the shibbo!eths of that
party under its present leadership
The Patent Office has not concentrat-
ed nor centralized the patent.right
interests Of the country. The Pen
sion Office has not banded together
the legless and armless for fell pnr.
pose. The Bureau OF Agriculture
has not made our farmers dangerous
citizens. Nor will Bureau CT In.
dustries centralize either the capital
or labor of the land. Democracy, as
it now is, is ignorant, and therefore
fearful. 1t opposes this measure. OF
course, because it opposes the prog
rcss of intelligence under any TORN,
and at all times.
Perhaps the best shape this idea
could take would be tho constitution
of a Department of Industry. to he
presided over by Minister OF Indus
try to be known-as the Secretary o.
Industry, and to be member of the
Cabinet, equal and co ordinate with
the other members. This new de-
partment might embrace Bureau o.
Commerce. Bureau of Manntac
lures, a Bureau Of Mining, and the
present Bureau OF Agriculture, and
such others as the expanding nccessi.
ties Of the country might demand
from time to time Philadelphia

defeat tor the people is questionable,
The Senate yesterday passed bill
Of some importance, relative to tax
deeds. 1t provides that after the ex-
plration OF three years from the date
of the sale of lands at tax sale and
the certificate returned to the Coun
ty Treasurer, he shall publish notice
Of that fact describing the land so
sold. If no person appears and re.
deems the same within 90 days, q
deed shall pc executed and delivered
to the holder of the certificate.
The appropriation of $4,000, to
build a wing to the Blind Asylum at
Yiuton, passed the House on FRI
day. The Normal School project in
the Senate met with favor. 1t com.
manded 81 votes. -Four schools in
different localities, no two of which
shall be in the same Congressional
District. Commissioners are to be
appointed by the Governor to select
locations. Good buildings must be
donated by the competing points and
the Commissioners are required to
locate where tho best offers are
made, taking INTO account health and
other matters. Five thousand dol
lars were appropriated to start each
one of them, in all $40, 900. should SO
many be established. The demands
for these institutions have been so
pressing that it seemed impossible to
defer tho creation of one or more
such schools, so that teachers better
| qualified to give instruction, may be
| prepared tor our common schools.
The Normal department of the State
University failed, it is claimed, to
furnish the facilities necessary. 1t is
too remote to be reached by students
of limited means from many sectors
of the State. Every county needs
such an institution.
The womaus suffrage resolutions
went to the table yesterday. Sena.
tors Bearlsly and Claussen made able
speeches. pro and con, but their argu'
guments effected no purpose. Noses
had been correctly counted and tht
rejection OF the proposition disap
pointed nobody. Undoubtedly pop
ular sentiment now is strong agalns'
1t, but whether the refusal to submit
it to the ultimate tribunal in thi
country, will prove a/qaietus OF .h'
agitation of the question is by II,
means certain.
| Gov. Merrill recommended that :
limitation be fixed on the amount 0
taxes that might be assessed il
school districts and corporate town
and cities. Gov. Carpenter ha
signed the act declaring that no more
than five dollars per pupil Tor Con
tinoent and fifteen for teachers fund
shall be levied in any school distric
in the State, annually.

The Iowa Legislature seems to
thins, that dogs arc of more imror.
lance than sheep. The fact .that
sheep are essential to proper per-
fiction ef agriculture, and the other
fact that MANY thousands ct sheep
are annually killed by dogs, these
facts weigh nothing, certainly not
much, with the Legislature. The
most successful and prosperous
farmers in Iowa keep at least few
sheep, and they declare that no farm
can be well cultivated without sheep
We sometimes hope to see the day
when woollen smanufacture will be-
| come en- important branch of the IN

sheen are necessary. Notwithstand
| ING all these things, the Iowa LesiS-
lalur rays no regard to the demand
of the farmers of the State for pro-
lection against the great enemy OF
sheep,-the dogs. A few dogs arc
valuable. Many are worth their
weight, probably, in gold. But the
dogs of Iowa, annually destroy more
money value of sheep than all the
dogs in Iowa are worth. a few
weeks ago, a bill was before the
House TO tax dogs for the benefit OF
the farming interest Of the State, and
was defeated by five majority. II is
very likely that the farmers of the
State did not send enough petitions
to the Legislature, and that body
may have thereby considered that the
farmers of the State are Indifferent
to the measure, but the forty seven
farmers Of the Housed they have or.
binary ability and influence, ought TO
have convinced the other members
OF tie House of the justice of the
measure. II the Legislature cannot
or win not pass laws unless they are
pet toned for, the farmers should
see to it, at once, that the two
Houses arc flooded with petitions for
proper protective-sheep law. We
assume that tie farmers generally
want this law. If they do, they can
easily say so.

Our Des M0ineS Letter.
Dies MONIES, March so, 1872.


Mr. Edttor:-In your issue Of the
Dist you give out the impression
that the herd law" will probably be
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme Court on the ground recently
announced in the case Of the State Is
| Weir. All the stock acts now in
force have been, held constitutional
because they are in the nature Of po-
lice regulations. The discussions that
have sustained these acts were based
on the principle that counties are
civil corporations, and as such, are
endowed by tho Constitution with
all the powers that attach to, Or can
be conferred on, towns or cities by
statutes. Two of the Supreme Court
recently assured a citizen of Tama
county that they had no idea of re
versing their opinions on these and
kindred acts. Tie farmers of every
township can adopt it without any
Apprehension that it will prove Of no
avail.
The bill to'take one Circuit Judge
from the bench in each judicial Dis
trict was slipped through the Legis-
lature in two days. 1t passed the
House on Monday-the Senate on
Tuesday-a most extraordinary oc-
currence. This anomaly can only be
explained on the snpposition that the
judiciary Committees jointly, on the
sly, concocted the scheme, and whip
ped it through on the plausible pre-
tense that it will diminish the ex.
penses of our Judiciary system.
Temporarily, it will SO appear; but
ultimately, the contrary will be
seen. 1t is the precursor Of a coun.
ty probate court. Two years hence,
the same force that drove this meas
ure through the 14th General AS
sembly will demand and secure the
establishment OF such tribunal.
The House-bill on railroad tariffs,
was the special order on TIL, rsdry,
in the Senate. 1t is the very same
that the Senate engrossed but had
not reached, with the Kceblcs'
amendment added, which prohibits
railroads from charging more pro
rata for short than long haul.
Several tender -tocd antl-monopolists
avowed they could not and would
not vote for the bill unless some per-
sons were clothed with authority to
afford relief in case the limitations on
the amounts to be charged should
work hardships either to the people
or the railroads. Senator Young
an amendment which pre-
vailed, authorizing the election OF
three Railroad Commissioners TO
hold Office two years, with annual
salary of $4,000, paid quarterly and
5 cents mileage for every mile trav-
eled, whose duty it shall be from
time to time to adjust the rates on
the different lines of roads as justice
and equety may dictate. The enc.
mics of the bill having thus engraft-
ed on 1t an oaious provision, it was
supposed its.friends would aisown it.
It is said they felgned great sorrow
when their oyerturcs to vote for 1T,
so amended, was promptly accepted.
1t received SO votes. 1t will create
three ia, offices and cause terrible
scramble for them IN the June Con /
ycntion. In all probability the House

Mrs. Annie Savery, OF Dos Moines,
throws at the State Legislature
triple volumed lecture full of cutting
truths, as follows: "You have given
the ballot to every male descendant
Of a pilgrim ancestry. You have
picked up every wait Of masculine
degradation that ever landed upon
our shores and linked him to the ma
ton. You have taken up whole
race, to whom you deny social aad
domestic equality, and you have
made them our political superiors."
And then asks that body to respec:
women enough, and trust the people
enough, to, at least, let the people
have word to say on the question
of women voting. And shc certain
~ asks nothing but justice.
