screens which might retain the silk

THE IOWA VOTER.


In the eastern States corn WA
planted . little late, but the ground
having been In good order and warm
weather following, everything no"
looks favorable. But in Illinois, and
through the great corn belt that ex'
tends into Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska, and also through Indiana,
the case has quite different aspect.
Usually the bulk OF the crop should
he planted by the 18th Of May, and
certainly not later than the 2oth'
But now, ia consequence OF wet wea'
Their, we learn that In many places
only a small per cent. was planted
even 50 late as the LET OF June. Be-
sides this The ground was 80 cold that
there were fears that the seed would
rot. bat iris is unlikely. 1t is gener-
ally conceded, however, that there
can be no more than half q crop,
which those who still hold much OF
last years growth would DO glad to
have prove true. Some even 90 50
far as to estimate that there Is more
corn in the West than there was a
wear ago, on account Of the large
amount kept over for two years. 1t
il stated that there are AZ least 81, 900"
900 bushels OF this staple now In the
farmers cribs, and as corn Is rising
in price, the increase Of value IL $780,
800 a day when the price rises cent
In q hours. 1t looks now as though
the farmers were going to be greatly
benefited by raising only half a crop,
since they will get more money for
1t than for a full crop, and they will
work less. The truth Is the West
has no market for full crop, and it
never can have until it establishes
manufactures. The railway troubles
are likely to find easy settlement.-

Just now there IL o vigorous effort
10 create public continent In favor
uf rcnsioning the widow of the late
rebel Gen. Rob't L. Lee, under the
prctense Of paying her for the Airing
ION estate. The N. Y. Post justly OBJ
serves, that aside from the fact that
che Is woman, there Is no more rea-
son In paying her for what she lost
through her own action than there IL
for undertaking to pay the Confeder-
ate debt. The Confederate debt was
IN ineepernble incident OF the act of
rebellion, and however much we
may sympathize with the people OF
the southern States In their financial
troubles, we cannot attempt the i'm
possible task Of making good to them
those losses which they deliberately
and wilfully incurred when they EN-.
deavored to ruin this country. So
when Mrs. Lee decided to risk her
property by cleaving to those who
were hostile to the Government,
s,he did 1t Of her own free choice,
knowing the consequences and with
no intention of yielding except to
superior force. She staked so much
bn the issue, and lost, not as a wo-
man. but as property-holder, and
like other property-holders, having
lost, she must pay.--HaOkeye.

The N. Y. Boiletia criticises the
st. Louis Convention, not because
it was handled in the interest Of rail
road schemes, as some western paper
would have us believe, but because
tho government is asked to enter up
on an extensive system of internal
improvements. The Bulletin thinks
the West ought to rely on its own
means and efforts, as it has done here
tofore, and not combine for an assault
on the treasury, which has become
disreputable. In other wordsas long
as Congressional appropriations were
mainly expended in the East it was
all right, but these are TO be deemed
questionable and disreputable when
the West puts in its claim. Very
well, let us wait and see whether the
American Congress will snub the Mis-
sissippi Valley when 1t speaks uni
ted voice.-Dav. GazeXe.

Swimming in the Salt Lake.

There are no fish in the Great Salt
Lake, says visitor there. The only
living thing beneath its waters is a
worm about Quarter of an inch long.
This worm shows up beautifully be-
meath the lens of a microscope. When
storm arises the worms are driven
ashore by thousands, and devoured by
the black gulls. We found a pure
stream pouring into o lake. 1t was
filed with little chubs and sinners. The
fish became frightened and were driven
down the brook into the briny lake.
The instant they touched its waters
they came to the surface belly upward,
and died without gasp. .g'
The water is remarkably buoyant.
Eggs and potatoes float upon it like
corks. My companion and myself strip.
ped and went in a swimming. I dove
into the lake from long pier, which
had been built for the use of a small
steamboat that formerly piled uron its
waters. The sensation was novel. The
water was SO salt that my eyes and ears
began to smart, but so buoyant that
found no difficulty in floating even wher
the air was exhausted in my lungs. A,
struck out for the beach | felt as light
as feather. In spite of all that coult
do my heels would fly out of the water
1 found it impossible to stand upon the
bottom. The lightness of the water ant
the surging of the waves forced my fee
from under me. A person who coult
not swim might be easily drowned il
five feet of water. His head would q
down like a lump of lead, while his fee
would fly up like pair of ducks. Th,
water is as clear as the water of Seneci
Lake, so clear that the bottom could b.
seen at the depth of twenty feet. Whel
we reached the shore and crawled on
upon the sand in the light of the sun
our bodies were quickly coated witt
salt. We were compelled to go to tn
little stream from which we had driver
the clubs and sinners, and wash off il
fresh water before we put on our clothes
Our hair was filled with grains of sal
which could not be washed out. TIL
Mormons occasionally visit the lake. il
droves for the purpose of bathing
Many of them say that their health i
improved by leaving the salt upon thei
bodies, and dressing without wipinJ
themselves with napkins.
