Women's Temperance Convention.

The above gathering at Cedar Rap
ids last week is reported by the pa
pers of that city as complete sue
cess, both in numbers in attendance,
and enthusiasm.
The following ladies were elected
officers of the permanent organiza-
ton, each Congressional District be-
ing entitled to one Vice President,
who shall be President of the Dis
trict Conventions:
President, Mrs. Wheeler; Vice
Presidents: Mrs. Harris, of Wash
ington, LIST District; Mrs. Brown, of
Muscatine, I'd District; Mrs. Older,
of Independence, ard District; Mrs.
DIR. Grouse, of Waterloo, 4th District;
Mrs. Leach, of Marion, 5th District;
Mrs. Bowen, of Ottumwa, 9th Dis
trict; the remaining Districts not be-
ing represented in the Convention,
are to be supplied. Recording Sec
rotary, Mrs. r. N. Allen, of Maquo-
keta; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs.
J. f. Foster, of Clinton; Treasurer,
Mrs. III. H. Smith, of Davenport.
Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Allen, Mrs.
Wheeler and Mrs. Spaulding were
elected delegates to the National
Temperance Convention, to be held
at Cleveland, Ohio, the last Of this
month. 1t was decided that the next
Iowa State Temperance Convention
be held at Davenport, beginning on
the third Tuesday of September, 1875
and that the District Conventions be
held on the first Tuesday of the same
month.
The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved, That women should i'm
prove their right of petition, by send
ing into our State Legislature urgent
and persistent appeals to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of all intoxica-
ting liquors as a beverage.
Resolced, That as the granting of
license to sell beer and native wine
is an effective ambush for the foe,
and really results in the sale of all
intoxicating liquors, we urge temper
ance men everywhere to remember
their responsibility and attend tie
primary meetings in their wards, in
order to secure the nomination of
none but good prohibition candidates.
Resolved, That when men opposed
to the granting of license are nomi-
mated, that the women endeavor to
promote the election of such persons,
by all consistent and legitimate
means.
Resolyed, That as mothers we are
almost powcrless to save our sons
from the temptations which beset
them, and we here in behalf of our
selves and of those who have been
robbed of their treasures through the
demon of Intemperance, urge good
and true men everywhere to uphold
and advance the cause of temper
ance by their votes.
Resolve0, That the hope of our
country rests largely upon the chill
dren of to-day and we approve and
recommend the organization of our
children into bands of hope, to be
trained up with firm temperance prin-
ciples.

Wheat Raising.

Wheat is now quoted in this mar
ket at 60 cents per bushel, with the
prospect of further decline when
navig ation closes, after which the
Western farmer will be at the mercy
of the rapacious railroad monopolies,
then constituting the only commune
cation with the Eastern markets.
In consequence, money is tight, the
farmer, and the whole community
that depend on him, embarrassed,
and a general feeling Of depression
pervades the public mind. 1t is
good time to look up the causes that
produce this state of affairs, and to
think of the proper remedy to apply.
One of these causes, and, as it
seems to us, the most potent, is the
over-production of wheat, and the too
general dependence upon it as the
main crop. With practically but one
foreign market, Great Britain, and
that almost certain to be stocked with
the cereals of Russia and other Eu-
ropean countries, besides those of
Canada and California, so that the
chances for even moderately good
price for our grain depend upon the
accident of a failure of the crop in the
countries named; with rates of trans
portation that duplicate the cost of
production, and with nine farmers
out of ten raising wheat and scarcely
anything else, the causes for the
lack of prosperity and success among
the majority of our farmers is readily
apparent. They are simply engaged
in raising a product for which there
is no adequate and profitable demand
nor has been for the past decade.
The remedy is simple. 1t is to quit
raising wheat as main crop. 1t is
the lesson that has been dinned into
the ears Of Iowa farmers until it has
become monotonous, but which the
experience through which they are
now passing should arouse them to
study faithfully and intelligently, and
that is diversified farming.
Let the farmer give his attention
to products in which the value is con-
centrated, to those such as hogs and
cattle and corn, that are likely one
year with another to show margin
of profit, though it may be sometimes
small; to dairying, to flax culture,
and to other things that might be
mentioned, any of which are more
profitable than wheat. Above all,
let him disabuse himself of that fall
lacious idea that the raising of wheat

State News.

The Executive Committee of the Iowa
State Poultry Association met at Cedar
Rapids last week and made arrangements
for the holding of the Second Annual
Exhibition at Dubuque, December Is to
18th, 1874. The premiums offered amount
to nearly 81, 200, and the show will prob
ably be the finest ever held in the West.

Dubuque quarry the other day, and all the

DestitutiOn in Nebraska.

George II. Frost, widely known
and perfectly reliable citizen of Oma-
ha, has been visiting the Western
portion of Nebraska, and writes from
there to the Omaha RepubHcan:
''There are ten thousand people here
who, in order to keep them from ac-
tual starvation, must be helped be-
tween now and next harvest to the
amount of at least $50 each. This,
at the lowest calculation, would
amount to $500, OOO) halfa million of
dollars. = We must appeal to
the general public. We must put
aside all delicacy and pride and send
out through the land the Macedonian
cry for the starving. We may as
well talk this matter right out and
say, with all that has been done and
with all that we now have the power
to do with present means, that three
weeks will not elapse without actual
starving of men, women and chill
dren. Many of these people are from
60 to 100 miles from the railroads.
Their teams are as nearly starved as
themselves. Fearful storms may pre-
vail over the divides that separate the
Republican and other valleys from
the road, and render it impossible to
send to their relief. Many of these
families, if not helped within two
weeks, will die. repeat it, not a
moment is to be lost. Ispeak from
actual observation and personal IN
terco,trse aoith the sufferers, and from
letters that evince the most terrible
suffering from hunger and nakedness
with no earthly prospect for
relief from actual death but from the
charity and benevolence of the people

WE miss in the Democratic papel

WE miss in the Democratic papers
this year, the accustomed growl
over the Presidents proclamation Of
Thanksgiving. Instead of giving
their readers the blues by lugubrious
pictures of the country going to the
"demnition bow-wows," they seem
disposed, this year, to sit down to the
traditional turkey, with thankfulness
and appetite, which is well. AS
for the Republicans, they, too, have
reason to be thankful that otis no
worse" and will enjoy the festal sea-
son with calm serenity and clear
consciences.

WE notice in the DEBORAH Repub-
Aican, of two weeks since, q commu
nication from NJ. 2. Hathaway, chair
man of the Winneshiek delegation in
the McGregor convention, the pur-
pose of which is to show that Judge
Granger was defeated because Of his
refusal to resign the Judgeship. Mr..
Hathaway admits that this consider
alton did not have much influence in
the northern portion of the district,
but locates the disaffection among
Republicans in consequence of Judge
Grangcr's said refusal to resign, in
Buchanan and Delaware countless
Speaking for Buchanan, we have this
to say; that first, there was no sort of
disafection against Judge Gran
ger in this county; he ran
even with the State ticket;
second, the matter of his resigna-
fion scarcely enteredinto the canvass,
certainly did not influence one single
vote that we ever heard of. If Mr..
Hathaway has no better ground for
his theory than is found in this coun-
ty, it is exceedingly untenable.

THE Chicago Tribune has always
led the howl-it was nothing else in
its case-against Republican mem
bers of Congress who voted for, or
accepted the increase of salary, ex-
pending upon them its especial scorn
and irony and producing for their
benefit the choicest weapons in its
armory of epithet and invective.
After the recent elections, and previ-
Gus to its change of editors, it was
very earnest in its advocacy of Gen.
Banks as fit and appropriate man
for the Speakership of the next House.
The consistency of the Tribune and
its real feelings regarding the salary
grab are illustrated by the fact that
no member Of the House, Butler not
excepted, was more shameless and
persistent in advocacy of the salary
bill, or unblushing in the utterance of
his mercenary motives in passing it
than was Banks of Massachusetts,; and
to his special and untiring efforts, as
much or more than to those of any
other member of the House, was due
the passage of the bill in that body.
We notice, also, that the Democratic
papers, generally, are glorifng over
the election Of Banks as one of the
most "welcome and gratifying results
of the late elections" We are thus
left to infer that while the s'salary
grab" was most convenient weapon
to hurl at the heads of Republican
Congressman, participation in it by
Democrats is not regarded as any
thing out of the way OF a bar to the
honors of the party. O, humbug,
thy name is ''reform."

THEDubuque Herald, which habit
ually assumes the attitude of crawl
ing sycophant toward rich men and
that of a bully toward everybody
else, is not pleased with the BULLE-
TINS allusion to the Rhomberg mat
ter. From its mercenary standpoint,
it cannot appreciate how any paper
should have the audacity to discuss
unreservedly matter affecting the
interests Of so rich and influential a
man as Joe Rhomberg. Its impulse
is to get down on it's knees and lick
the shoes of any man rich enough
and willing to fee it for its debase-
ment, and it takes it almost as a per-
sonal ipputation that the BULLETIN
does not follow its example of toady-
ism toward the great ex-distiller of
Dubuque. 1t says that we ''charge
guilt upon Joe Rhomberg;;" which is
lie. The Herald has from the first
sought to PREJUDICE the Rhomberg
case against the government in ad-
vance of the investigation. We, on
the other hand, expressly stated that
the demand against him must stand
or fall upon the evidence produced.
We did say, however, in answer to
the Herol0s assumption that he was
a prosecuted innocent in the hands of
a rapacious government, that there
was a pretty well defined ''surmise"
in the public mind that Joe Rhom-
berg got his wealth by evading the
government tax on whisky. While
we did not, nor do not now, say that
this surmise has any foundation in
truth, we still maintain the fact of
its existence, despite the Herala's
covert attempt to call down upon us
the displeasure of Rhomberg and his
If the investigation shall
prove that Rhomberg has been just
in his dealings with the government,
we shall be glad, as well for his
sake as for that of Dubuque, whose
interests are so identified with his fl
nancial standing. If he has cheated
the revenue out of $4,000, we hope
he will be made to disgorge every
farthing Of it, the same as any plum
dercr of less degree. If the Herald
can make any capital out of this, let
it 'ssail in"
