WHY NOT BIZ HON EST !

But to expect honesty among Repubh-
cans is to be called very simple. The Union.
referring to our comments on the causes OF
the defeat of the Democratic ticket says;
That's good advice, and it's just what
the Union told them before the election"
Bot the Union was quick to take il all
back and be particularly sweet and soft
upon the Germans. And furthermore
assisted in whipping the Germans in under
the black flag Of Radical prescription to
elect MIR. Murdoch. Neither did the Amer
lean Republicans have the honesty or cour-
age to vote az they now wish they had at
the Township election. One thing the Irish
and AmericaR Democrats have demon
stra.ed, and that is that they do not propose
to submit TO the trickery or dictation Of any
distinctive organization" outside of the
platform OF fair dealing and
American citizenship. Had the Re
publioans g h:tle less greed for office
and little more of the principle of fairness
aud a triis Of honesty in their political
make up our campaigns would be freed
from abusive person Alities and the Offices
filed with better and more capable men,

IOWA LANDS.

The sun does not shine upon finer lands
than can be found anywhere in the bsauti-
full State Of Iows-the garden of the west.
TIE deep, rich and alluvial soil is . mine of
wealth to ahs farmer who is so fortunate as
to locate in this land of promise-the home
OF thousands Of immigrants who every year
select this STATE in preference to any other.
Among the corporations doing most to
bring people to this State and supply them
With valuable farms on the best terms stands
the Iowa Railroad Land Company, having
control Of the lsnds Of the Iowa Falls &. r.,
Sioux City & Pacific R. r., and the Cedar
RAPIDS Il Missouri R. R., amounting to
nearly t,co million acres Of the very best
farming lands in the State. As . remarka-
bic instance Of the business done by this
com pany we learn from Mr.. Chas. b.
Clark, Register of the Company, whom, BY
the way, we found 20 be gentlemen of onl-
turs and man Of large experience, thai
during the month OF March, notwithstand'
ing the severity of the weather, eighty-swo
families have purchased either new, or sd'
additional acres to make homes.
These families bought 7,OSl,3s acres
amounting to s44,s9576. The average
price per acre Of these lands was 1854, and
Furthermore that nearly three Thousand
acres have been sold through their agents
at this point, John 0ohs l. Son. Daring th'
present mouth there is every prospect shs
double this number of acres aud CORES
ponding amount of capital will be realized
from their sales of Iowa lands.
At the head Of this large business q
Land Commissioner, is Hon. Johu B. Cal
houn, comparatively q new citizen Of lows
but an old one in this State, and well an,
fsvorably known - Commissioner of tn
Illinois Central R. R. Land Co. That he i
an accomplished gentleman and thorougI
organizer and business man, his ofhoe ap
pointmenIs aud immense business Of las
month fully demonstrate. He came to hi
present position with years Of valuable ex
psrisnoe and untired energies to devote hin
self to the bes, interest Of the young an

most valuable citizens, and such We conf
IDENTITY predict time will prove.
