As IN evidence Of returning prosperity of the

papers notice the full resumption of the ''Domes-

which in common with so many other business
establishments was forced into a temporary sus-
pension during the course of the panic has re-
Gently been enabled TO resume in full. Its as

meet all its liabilities, and Its original capital
stock has never been In any way imperlcd (; hut
the general tighiness and stagnation OF three
months ago, ferced it into 4 temporary difficulty
which was magnifed al the time into something
more serious than il really was. All that it ever
asked Of its creditors trifing extension of
time, proposing to pay all obligations in full,
principal and interest. This was promptly and
cheerfully granted, and the result was shown
that the confidence in the management Of the
Company vas not misplaced, for their business
goes on as heretofore. A statement Of their af-
fairs show that over and above all Liabilities they
have their entire capital stock Of 81 200, 600 un-

Hon HENRY KELLEY of Usage, til


Hon HENRY KELLEY Of Usage, the
efficient representative of Mitchell
and Howard Counties in the Legis'
lature last winter is mentioned in
connection with the Congressional
nomination in the Fourth Distric,
this fall. From intimate personal
acquaintance with Mr. Kelley We
can say without hesitation no man
of higher motives and instincts,
sounder judgment and sturdier in.
dependence and integrity of charac.
ter lives in. the Fourth District;
yet we question the policy of send
ing him to Congress. Mr. Kelley be-
longs to a class Of men, the loss of
whose skill, experience and energy
in building up the manufacturing in
terests Of our state would be poor
ly compensated for, even by an ex-
ceptionaly brilliant career in Con-
gress. AS the executive head of
one of the most promising manufact-
uring enterprises in northern Iowa,
which owes its inception to his sa-
gacity, and its present prosperity
and importance mainly to his skill
and energy, Mr. Kelley can do
more good for his locality and Sec
ton than could half a dozen Con
gressmen.

Fish Commissioners.

The Board of Fish commissioners
at their meeting at Des MONIES last
Friday, organized by the election of
S. B. Evans, President. G. A. Haines,
Secretary, and 3. F. Shaw, Treas
urer. Commissioner Shaw was also
elected to superintend the erection
of a State fish-hatching house, which
will probably be at Anamosa. The
State was also divided into three
districts, Of which the Illinois Cen
trail railroad and the Chicago and
Rock Island railroad are the divid-
ing lines each district to be under
the supervision of one of the Com
missioners. The northern district
will be under the charge Of c. A.
Haines of Waterloo, the middle un.
der that of 3. f. Shaw of Anamosa,
and the southern under that Of S.
B. Evans Of Ottumwa. Mr.. Haines
was appointed to examine and re-
port upon the merits of various fish
ladders. A set of rules were adopt
ed to govern the application for and
delivery of fish, when the fish are
Matched and ready for delivery, OF
which the public will be notified.

The fact that but one Congress
man has gone clean daft " in con-
sequence Of the distracting discus
sion of the finance question, is a
compliment to the mental poise of
that body, though quite number Of
the members have exhibited signs
of a loss of reason over it. The
unfortunate member is Representa-
tive Mellish, of New York, who
came into the House the other day
showing unmistakable evidences Of
insanity, and was removed to an
asylum. One report of the matter
says that his speeches on the cur.
rency question have been frequent
elaborate and visionary" The lat
ter characteristic is explained b,
the fact that they were made on th,
contraction side Of the issue.

Two lake schooners, the Nnlico
of Chicago, and the G. Il. Benson
Of Cleyeland, laden respectively
with $4,000 and $4,000 bushels of
wheat, sailed from Chicago on We'd
nesday for Cork, Ireland, direct vio
the Welland Canal and the St. Law.
renee. These are the pioneers of a
fleet of a dozen or more vessels. that
it is designed to dispatch to the
same port from Chicago during the
season; the scarcity of freights and
the low prices in the coasting trade
this season being favorable for the
experiment Of direct trade. The
shippers offer "a cents per bushel to
Cork and guarantee return cargo
that will pay $4,000 in gold. The
result of this experiment will be
waited for with interest, as it may
afford in part a solution of the prob
lem of cheap transportation of the
products of the great Northwest to
the markets Of the world.

The legal fraternity of the Judic-
ial district in which Des Moines is
situated held meeting in that city
on the 18th, and passed resolutions
favoring the election of Judges
without regard to party, and pledg-
ing themselves to support the best
man on all occasions. This we re.
gard as move in the right direc-
ton. Judges should not in any
sense be partisans, or owe their ell
walton to partisan influence. Gov
Carpenter recently showed his lib.
erality by appointing a Democrat
to the vacancy on the bench of the
Burlington district, and rs no pro-
test has been heard, the appointment
was presumably dictated by no
other consideration than ability and
fitness.

Of such up-hiU business, and be-
sides they have heard of the West
ern prairies where man can raise
corn without manuring in the hill
and ten acres in one field ifhe only
chooses to 60 into farming on a
large scale, and they are leaving the
hills in great numbers. Hundreds
of farms are abandoned every year,
a few to be used as sheep pastures,
but mostly to grow up to forests
The census has taken note of this
stampede of the hill farmers, and
the population of the State was re-
ported less in 1870 than it was in
1860, and it would have been less
still only that many of the farmers
went to the manufacturing towns.
Once in while you will see a
man in this country who has four or
five acres of level land in one field,
that he can pillow or plant or SOW or
NOW according to his own sovereign
pleasure. But he is.a proud man.
His neighbors do him homage, and
travellers call him esquire" and en-.
quire after his children.
The native timber of this section
is greatly enhanced in value by the
manufactures that are going on.
remember seeing my Uncle Samuel
cut down magnificent hard naples
two feet through, and with infinite
labor roll them into heaps and burn
them up. To-day one ofthose trees
would buy four acres Of the land
they grew on. The lumber is used
for bedsteads and the costliest kind
of furniture. Birch lumber sells
very high and is used for spools
and bobbins in cotton and wooden
factories. White poplar, which we
used to consider next to nothing for
fuel or any other purpose, is made
into paper and worth ten dollars a
cord at the mill. l think the cotton
wood of our State would answer the
same purpose.
Straw-wheat, oat or rye-has
sold for two years past at sixteen
dollars per ton to make into straw
board, a large portion Of which is
used under the siding in building
houses in the west.
Nothing but manufacturing will
prevent this State from rcverting to
a bowling wilderness. Its noun
tains are torbidding, its climate is
inhospitable, it's thin soil is migrate
ful, but it has water power, and its
people have little hard-earned
money, and what is better than all
they have enterprise and shrewd
ness, and they are going into man
ufacturing in earnest and as = con-
sequence they will soon be rich and
independent. MOODY Grow.
