AMONG the first bills introduced

the purpose is not obscured by con-
ventlonaliies Of photography or diff

BE IL enoeted dy the General as
sembly Of the State Of Ioaca, That,
they pass A Law to Compel Rail
rodes to pay taxes According to A

The member responsible for the

The bombastic proclamation of
Ives, Chairman of the Anti Monop.
oily State Committee, is having fear
full effect. Witness the following
from budding Bohemian in one of
our Iowa college papers:
SIT is to be most devoutly hoped
that the time is speedily coming
when outraged public opinion-the
faithful mentor Of a free people
will arise in the fury Of abused dig
nifty, and with mastadonic power
thoroughly purge this field Of useful
labor Of all its foul and exotic ex-
eresence, and open . pure soil for
honest husbandmen."

I'm tho case Of Snow vs.. The Illinois
Central Railroad Company, at Webster
City last week, brought to recover $25.-
900 damages for loss Of both arms Of the
son Of the plaintiff, the jury failed to

Tho Washington Chrenicle says:
"Two hundred and forty six school
houses have been erected in Iowa during
the past year, exclusive Of tho number
built to replace those which had become
unfit for uss. A State that shows 80

The Waterloo Courier, the editor
Of which was, until recently, can
didate tor State Printer, is naturally
opposed to the abolition Of that Of.
fee. The arguments it adduces
why this should not be done, are,
however, not such as carry inevita-
BILE conviction with them. The
principal objection which the Co,4r-
Ter urges to the abolition Of the Of
fee, is that under the system of
competition the work would be TAX
en- so low, that it would not be done
well, and that the bond required by
the State for its indemnification in
such case, would be no protection
because of tho uncertainty of it en-
forcement. 1t says:
Iowa would be in a dilemma at
this moment, if, under the auction
plan the Printer had taken his work
at so low q price as to find it neces-
sary to slight his work ON the new
Code. Having done SO the State
must either have accepted the faulty
work, or rejected it and stood on the
bond for indemnity.
Iowa is in the "dilcmma" indica-
ted above, if it is a dilemma. The
work on the new Code was sighted
notwithstanding fair price was
paid for it. And now will the Cour-
Ter tell us how it would be easier
to enforce the official bond of the
State Printer than the penal bond
of any other contractor for the work.
The State has no guaranty for the
excellence of the work in the fact
that the party doing it is invested
by the grace Of the Legislature with
the title of State Printer. 1t has to
protect itself by requiring of him a
bond with penalties for improper or
inadequate performance Of his du-
ties. Fit is impracticable or diff
cult to enforce bond of this char
acter against bidder-for the print
ing, it is equally so with regard to
the State Printer.
But the Courier says that the
present prices are very low with a
very narrow margin Of profit, and
no perquisites; in fact, that they go
to the very verge, below which,
somebody is cheated" BE that as
it may, they seem to be high enough
to induce several publishers to spend
a deal of valuable time, not to speak
of stationary and breath in lively eff
forts to obtain the privilege Of do
ing the work. Some Of these par
ties are sharp, prudent business
men, and the natural inference from
their active competition for the Of
fee is that they think there is mon
ey in it. Possibly, as the Courier
intimates, this idea is fallacious, and
the discovery Of the fact may ac-
count tor the withdrawal of our
friend Woodruff from the contest.
We presume, however, any one of
these parties would submit to a
slight percentage of reduction from
present prices to be assured Of his
election as State Printer.

OH1 Of the anomalies Of our Iowa
laws is that colored man may hold
any Office in the State, from Governor
down, and yet cannot become a
member Of the Legislature. Peti-
tons are being circulated to have
this important omission repaired.

liable perseverance have been test
ed by long service in the most try

L. d. Ingersoll, or "Link," the jour:
nalist, author, and ''princc of good
fellows?'' He is here rs the orres-
pondent Of the Dubuque Daily
Times, and several other papers,
whose readers are to be congratula-
ted, and he may be found at the Ma
tional Hotel, where he is the "bright
particular STAR" Of little gather
ing of bohemians, almost every eve
ming. His biography Of Horace
Greeley-which is far superior in
many respects to Parton's- -has met
with large sale, and is received
with great favor. This book differs
from most ''llves" in being impair
tial and truthful; it is neither a Gu
logy nor the reverse; those who
have read it will be pleased to learn
that the author is engaged upon q
history of American. politics. Long
may he wave!
A lively alteration is being car
ried on, through the newspapers,
between the Speaker of the District
House of Delegates and the proprie-
tors Of neighboring restaurant;
the causes for which is n bill pre-
scented to Hon. Peter Campbell for
rum, cigars, oysters, etc., furnished
to the members Of the House, which
Peter sternly refuses to liquidate.
A law suit will probably decide the
matter, and the amount Of unpaid
for whisky consumed may account
for some OF the meon-spirited legis-
lation we have been victimized
with. The saloon men alternately
write cards for the papers and
plaintively MARBLE the air:
"Damn his eyes,
whoever tries
$40 rob the poor man ofbls beer"
Thus far they have decidedly the
best Of the controversy, and seem
to have been treated badly.

Look on the bright side. 1t Is the
bright side. The times may be
hard, but it will make them no cas-
ier to wear q gloomy and sad counte-
nance. 1t is the sunshine and not
the cloud, that makes the flower.
There is always that before and
around us which should cheer and
fill the heart with warmth. The
sky is blue ten times where 1t Is
black once. You have troubles, 1t
may be. So have others; none are
free from them. They give sinew
and tone to life, fortitude and cour-
age to man. That would be dull
sea. and the sailor would never ac-
quire skill, where there was nothing
to disturb the surface of the ocean.
1t is the duty of every man to ex-
tract all the enjoyment he can with
in him; and above all, he should
look on the bright side Of things.
What though things do look little
dark; the lane will turn, and the
night will end in day. What is Ill,
becomes we'll; what is wrong, right.
Men are not made to hang down
their heads or lips, and those who
do, only show that they are depart
ing from the paths of truth, COM

virtue in one sunbeam than in a
whole hemisphere of cloud and
gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look
on the bright side Of things. Guilt

July LIST, 1874.
EDITOR OMAHA BEE:
1 take q few moments from the
press of business, to drop you a
jotting or two, concerning our
grand excursion. We arrived i'm
Fairmont on the oath, and return OH
the Odd of July. Most of the WISH
tors have been on the wing ever
since their arrival, in order to drink
In as much Of prairie beauty as pos
sible. Some came to visit friends,
some for health; but a respectable
portion were solid men, who wished
to purchase lands on a large scale.
Four well loaded wagons went to the
new town of Arborville, and
expressed themselves as delighted
with its location and prospects.
Among the visitors were Rev. III
n. Baldwin, with a number of
friends from Wyanet, ILL.,, Rev. Mr..
Dixon, of Hebron, who addressed
the people of York Sabbath morn
ing, and Rev. DIR. Walker, of
Wheaton College, who spoke i'm the
evening. DIR. Walker is a writer of
wide fame, and the people We're
highly delighted with his discourse.
The medical profession was we'll
represented by three Of their num-
Der, among them, DIR. Wiley, Of
Earl, a physician Of note, who also
was a short time ago, q member of
the Illinois Legislature. Among
the substantial farmers were l. ]. w,
Henning, of Plano, ILL.,, who at this
date purchased a section and a half
of B. 4 NJ. land, and now have their
eye on several sections of u. P. land
for sheep-raising. Like most other
visitors, they were afraid that our
short grass indicated o poor stock
county. But when / took them on
my own farm and showed them
grass on the high ground that would
cut a ton and q half to the acre,
all because the fire had been kept
off, they expressed themselves as
satisfied, and was ready to record
the fact that Nebraska was the finest
country upon which the sun ever
ever shone.
The Bowen brothers, who arc the
largest farmers In LaSalle county,
H., were represented by one of their
number, who has looked over several
sections near Arborville with q view
of purchasing. The railroads are
wise in giving the people these OPP
pOrtunities to visit our new State,
The enthusiasm of large crowds as
they compare notes after their diff
ferent inspections, is something
magnetic; the good feeling engen-
dered in an excursion is contagious
The testimony of Q large number
of enthusiastic and delighted people
goes . great ways towards inspiring
Others to come. As superintendent
of the excursion ! cannot refrain
from expressing the thanks of the
visitors to the officers of the B. 4
NJ. Railroad, who, by every means
In their power, contributed to the
comfort of the passengers. And
what the visitors and people say is,
sgive US more excursions" and We
hope before summer is over to have
two or three over the U. P. r. r.
Yours, C. b. HARRISON.
