The District Court OF Polk county
Saturday disposed of the Brand,
case finally, SO far as the term just
closed was concerned, by postponing
it to the November term. This &C.
ton, after the many and repeated
postponements of the case which
have been made, will excite com
ment of various kinds. The Leader.
Of last night, SO eager nowadays to
turn anything and everything to
partisan advantage, seizes upon il as
an evidence Of the political or fac
tional feeling of the Judge, and aims
to make a serious point against the
Republican party by the fact tina,
the presiding Judge of the Court is a
Republican. We know of no reason
for the postponement other than that
which was stated by the Judge yes
terdsy, namely, that be wanted more
time in which to examine the points
raised by Brandt's counsel, and that
he had, on this account, concluded to
let the case 60 over to the next term.
Brandt was convicted nearly three
months ago. All other persons con.
victed during the protracted term,
several of them indicted BY the same
grand jury which indicted Brandt
against the legality of which grand
Jury Brandts counsel have raised the
objections which they ofer-were
entenced without any postpone
nenfs.-Rs0isker.

1t is amusing to read the ditteren,
accounts which come to us from diff.
ferent sources in regard to whether
the Black Hills do contain gold. Up
on the heels of the announcement OF
Prof. Jenuey's discoveries, as report
ed BY the Inter Ocean, is letter
from Lieut.. John H. Coale, of Chica-
60, to his father. 1t is printed in
the T'ilune. 1t says: II noticed
that the Eastern papers are filled
with lies about the gold discoveries.

knowing AS anybody, and | am sat

The Dem ocratic candidate for
Governor Of Iowa was in Congress
once. He took bis seat during the
winter of '46-7 and the Register res
urrects the following from an investi-
CATION set on foot shortly after by
Horace Greeley, then in Congress
and busy stirring up the mileage
abuses:
"For his mileage at that session he
received u, 44O, being eighty cents
mile, forty cents each way, the then
legal rate) for 1900 miles. For the
second session of the Thirtieth Con-
gress, and the FIRST Of the Thirty-6st,
he received 4l,494 each-the dis
lance having been stretched thirty
miles since he took his seat. Now
the distance at that time from Bur-
lington to Washington City by the
shortest post route was 81 miles, as
shown by the Official records in the
topographer's bureau of the General
Postofice. According to Gray's At
las, it is 1,049 miles, counting Bur-
lington to be twenty -four miles fur
ther from Chicago than Davenport.
Mr.. Letter received pay, As we have
seen. for much more. Let US look ut
it. Computed by the distances CIV
en- in Grsy's Atlas, Mr.. Letter was
entitled to receive, for each Of the five
sessions he sat in Congress, $S39.2O
by way of mileage, or s4,1s6 in oil.
He actually got 81 ,440 for one SEES
sion, and q, 464 for each of two 9TH
ers, or "a, 1868 for the three. Of the
other two sessions we have no report,
but he doubtless received the same
amount, say 81, 440 for one session
and 81, AGA for the other-making
grand aggregate Of s7,272, when he
was entitled to 44,196-a trifing diff
ference of %, orc; almost as much as
any one Of those thirty five crops Of
corn brought him. Is Gen. Warren
RICH. in saying Mr.. L. amounted to
nothing in Congress"

Senator Sherman's recent speech
in Ohio discusses with great thoroug-
ness the financial question. The
chief value of his speech consists in
its lucid explanation Of the Republi-
can financial policy, with which he is
familiar as with the alphabet, and
which he has had a great deal to do
in developing. The whole aim of
that policy, according to Mr.. Sher-
man, is to make our legal tenders and
greenbscks worth their face in gold.
The business of the country is actual
" done to-day on gold basis. In
spite of oil our laws to the contrary,
our wheat is sold and our merchan-
disc is bought at gold values. We
deceive ourselves, as did the Israel
ties Of old, by making other gods and
worshipping them. The nation can
not be sued, but it ought to be hon.
est, and having promised to pay its
debt in gold it is bound to keep faith
with its own people. All the con-
traction that has taken place has
aimed 10 raise the value Of the cur
rency. Mr.. Sherman contended that
it is lille to attempt to fix by law the
amount Of currency the business of
the country requires. The only way
to regulate the amount is to issue
only so much rs can he maintained at
par with gold. Every dollar more
than that amount is too much. He
defends the NATIONAL banks, which he
claims are not monopoly. but are SO
interlaced with the whole business
and enterprise ofthe country that they
cannot be destroyed without produc-
ing business CONFUSION. To issue
more greenbacks would break the
faith Of the Government and be un.

Our attention has been directed to
the omission from our last weeks
article on the subject, of some names
that have been used in connection
with the Republican nomination to
certain county offices. We believe
the probable candidacy of Mr.. Jno.
Z. Pickering, of Springdale, for Sher-
if, was mentioned, but we have since
received the following-the sigma.
ture given, "Many Citizens being
further sustained by the autographs
Of quite number of prominent Re-
publicans in the vicinity indicated:
Mr.. Editor:-Please announce the
name of John +. Pickering as q can
didate for Sheriff of Cedar county,
subject to the decision Of the Re-
publican county convention. Mr..
Pickering served three years in the
army, during the late war. He il
capable and worthy of the support
and confidence Of the people.
MANY CITIZENS
At the time of last weeks writing
we failed to recall letter received
several weeks ago from one Of the
leading teachers in the county BY
which the name Of Miss Eunice +.
f'rink, OF Dayton township, was more
than suggested, Git was urgedD for the
consideration of the Republicans in
their nomination of a county Super.
intendent. Miss Frink, this writer
truly said, is very well and favorably
known throughout many parts Of the
county as lady of culture, ability
and force of character, as we'll as an
educator of experience and success.
For the same nomination we now
hear bruited the name of Mr.. F. A.
Gates, longtime citizen of Mas.
silon township, and gentleman who
has always been at the front in edu-
cational matters. Mr.. Gates is now
County Surveyor, and is undoubtedly
too well known all over the county
both as man and an officer to make
any sort of an introduction appropri-
ate or necessary here.
From the south and southwest
part of the county also comes the
nomination Of Mr.. Zadoc Ellyson, of
Iowa township, as a candidate for
Representative, subject Of course to
the decision Of the Republican con-
vention. Mr.. Ellyson, too, is an old
and well known citizen, and known
only to be respected for many good
qualities of head and heart.
There are probably yet others
whom friends and admirers desire to
bring forward, and We would be glad
10 give any and al such public men
ion. The prime object Of the pri.
nary meetings is to give expression
o the preference of the majority of
he members of the party in each
and such expression can
nly be fuller and fairer the more the
latter be canvassed previous to such
Ieetings. Let us then have light;

A Farmers Troubles.

Think for one moment-his soil washed
away by the rains, his teams gradually
giving away; his laborers employed at
labor not renumerative his farming i'm
plements wearing away +; insects destroy
ing his crop; dry weather parching up
old mother earth either too dry or too
wet. too hot or too cold storms of wind
sweeping over his crop and laying it
waste these are only few of the diff
ticulties that the farmers brain has to
encounter and overcome, and that at a
heavy outlay OF time, labor and money.
His occupation can only be followed
during the day, and not like those OF
the professions, WAC can make as good
progress at night as in the day, in pre-
pairing to succeed in their vocation. Be-
sides this, the lawyer may lose his case
from ignorance and carelessness, and
still he receives his fee; the physician
may not succeed in overcoming the dis
ease of his patient; the teacher may
fail to inculcate his text books in the
minds of his pupils; the preacher may
send a soul to perdition by teaching
false doctrines; the editor may lead his
readers to adopt measures that will over
turn their government; yet they are
all remunerated for their labor in dollars
and cents. Not so the farmer. If he
makes mistake he alone suffers the
loss.
