The New Catholic Diocese.

The Des Moines Register takes occasion
to deny the statement that Davenport is to
be the site of the new Catholic diocese, to
be created in Iowa. 1t says;
We learn from Rev. Father Brazil that
the Episcopal residence projected some
time since, is to be commenced this year,
and, il possible, be enclosed The plans
are already prepared, and they arrange for
building that will be one of the chiefest
ornaments of the city, and extremely cred
table to the denomination constructing it.
1t will be large enough not only for Parish
uses and the Vicar General but suffi-
GENTLY extensive and comfortable for per-
manent home for the second Iowa Bishop.
in short, il is 10 be an Episcopal residence.
The recent statements with reference TO
the division Of the Iowa Diocese aud the
establishment Of Davenport See, we are
reliably informed are without foundation.
That division will be made is beyond
doubt, but that the See will be located al
Davenport is entirely improbable. 1t is
too near Dubuque and is situated at the
extreme edge OF the Diocese. The west
ern portion Of the church in Iowa already
numbers many thousands and is increasing
at a rapid rate There are numerous col
onies Of Catholics scattered all through
the District composed of the western hal
Of the State, and the interests Of theil
faith have suffered from the great distance
OF the Bishop's abode and from the &C
eumulated labors that the control Of sc
l'argea diocese entail upon that prelate.

Tho Water Works.

Mayor Davenport is giving especial at
tention to the water works and is prepar-
ing every thing for winter, hoping to get
things fixed so we can escape frost the
coming cold weather Some pipes are be
ing laid from dead ends so as to keep
up circulation. OF couTsc nc cannot sink
the pipes deeper, but if a circulation can
be kept up freezing may perhaps be pre-
vented. He has been building an embank
ment around the Engine House to protect
it from ice, and the rip-rap work is now be
ing put on. A railroad switch is be
ing laid to the coal house, and the coal
house is to be enlarged 50 as to contain a
month supply. The switch, as first built,
did not go within $50 feet of the coal house,
and the coal was first shoveled out of the
ears upon platform, then shoveled into
wheelbarrows, and then dumped or shoy-
eed into the coal house, very bad piece
of economy generally, iniuring the coal by
so much handling, and making it doubly
expensive 1t will hereafter be handled
but once--from the car to the coal house
Other improvements are contemplated
which will be noticed in due time.

The Hnrsa L z Track

We understand that Mayor Davenport
will bring before the Council at its next
meeting the condition of the Horse K. X.
Track anda,k that the company be notified
to live up to the ordinance or forfeit the right
to use the streets Complaints are made to
him almost daily of the bad condition Of
the track and he will feel it his duty to
present the subject to the Council At
the last FIRE we are told that two hose
carts axles were broken in consequence of
holes next to the rails. On another Occa-
sion wheel was sprung and neariy.ruined
Transfers have complained to the Mayor,
and so have merchants, that the track is
in such a condition as to render the pas
sage Of heavy loads very difficult Hacks
and buggies are in danger at all times. and
especially at night The railroad compa-
ny is able to keep the track in good order
and there is no reason why the ordinance
should not be strictly and promptly com
piled with or the right to use the streets
be forfeited

Vanderbilt on What's the Matter.

Commodore Vanderbilt in conversation
with press reporter, is reported to have
said
Il Il tell you what the matter. People
undertake to do about four times as much
business as they can legitimately trans
act. There are a great many worthless
railroads started in this country, without
any means to carry them through. Re
spectacle banking houses in New York
make themselves agents for the sale of the
bonds of the railroads in question, and
give a kind of moral guarantee of their
genuineness. The bonds soon reach
Europe, and the markets of the CONNER
cial centers, from the character of the in
dorsers, are soon flooded with them. These
worthless roads prejudice the commercial
credit of our country abroad. Building
railroads from nowhere to nowhere at
public expense is not a legitimate under
taking | might make illusions to Texas,
Midland and other new railroads, but
| ! am friend of the iron roads and like to
see them stretching to every corner of the
United States. They help to develop our
commerce and civilization, and ought to
be encouraged All | have to say is,when
railroads are to be built, don't victimize
the public to build them. When / have
some money, | buy railroad stock or some
thing else, but don buy on credit pay
for what | get. People who live too much
on credit generally get brought up with a
round turn in the long run. The Wal
street averages ruin many a man there
and are like faro. Mistrust will be engen-
dered till we as a nation do our business OF
Il more solid basis and pay as we 20.

QUE IRREpEEMARLE CURRENCY


The n Y. Tribune, in an article on the
irredeemable currency which curses this
country, says
Experience teaches but one lesson on
this question of the currency-that no
money consisting Of paper not convertible
on demand into the actual quantities OF
gold or silver represented on its face can
be safe or permanent France reaped
ready harvest of ruin from her assignates,
England suffered perhaps greater severity
Of punishment fer attempting the same
experiment that we are trying ndertak-
ing to make irredeemable paper perma-
nent standard of value Is our history to
furnish a simple repetition of England
blunders? Are we u learn nothing from
the experience of our fathers and grand
fathers, and Of every civilized nation that
has tried and failed III the same expert
meut
And the \. Y. Eceaing Post says
IAN experimental it has been a
broad impressive and lasting experience
shows that you can no more rely upon an
inconvertible paper as a medium OF ex-
change, than you can upon an Arctic foe
for permanent habitation All the civil
lized nations that have been through great
wars, domestic or foreign, have tried the
experiment but always with a disastrous
result The best thing that the wisest of
them have ever done in that way is to put
off the evil day by successive doses of stun
ulant-as drinking man postpones de-
lirium tremens BY small drains of brandy
until the system finally collapses. The
laws of nature are not to be evaded we
may dodge them for a little while, but, in
the end, the very expedients to which we
resort to battle her enegies, or to disguise
their fatal workings, only aggravate the
ravages of the final result So long as We
continue our fictitious currency, then, We
: shall be liable to have any temporary dis
turbance turned Into a more serious ca.
lamity.
These" says the Chicago Times, are
not merely concurrent expressions Of Opin-
, ion by two CONSPICUOUS and able public jour

The bubble which exploded in Wall
street on Thursday was first inflated in the
early part of the war, when a pamphlet
was written to prove "A National Debt a
National Blessing" and it was deemed a
patriotic duty to inculcate the doctrine
NATURALLY, that which was deemed good
for the nation was esteemed beneficial for
corporations and individuals and the ag
gregate national, State, municipal, and
business Indebtedness of the country to-
day is fearfully alarming. But of all forms
Of credit, that upon which the business of
Wall street is built is the most ruinous and
inexcusable There is no apology for it ;
and the sooner it is buried beneath the
ruins of every firm aud every individual
engaged in it the better. The
country is not prosperous because it has
borrowed thousands of millions of dollars
Of future generations, and has mortgaged
itself beyond redemption for payment !;
while its public lands have been seized by
spectators, and taxes have been piled
