THE yield of grain in Iowa this year is simply
prodigious. A great deal of the wheat is averag-
ing thirty and thirty five bushels to the acre, and
the ont fields are doing still greater things Onl
Pclla correspondent this morning tells Of oats in
that region yielding as high as eighty and even
one hundred bushels to the acre. On the farm Of
the agricultural editor Of the REGISTER is field Of
oats which will yield this much. The grain is not
only great In quantity, but also excellent In quail
ity. tits yellow grain this year, in wheat-and
large, white, firm grain in oats. This State agnin
has extra reason to thank God, and be happy
State Regtsfef.
The above gives fair squint At the
cure for hard times, that nothing else
can effect. Our good crops are nearly
general throughout the whole coun-
try, and the continuance Of the war
in Europe will set the country rising
on the upward wave Of another era of
prosperity. We may talk, and we may
iegislate until doomsday, it is only
the balance Of trade in our favor
that will win, and good crops will
largely tend to turn the tide of COM
merce in that direction; this will
restore confidence, set the money in
the country afioat, and then the sun
Of prosperity will again dawn upon

TIE Oskaloosa Standard, of the 7th
inst, came to us Wednesday enclosing
an "extra," on which, deliberately
displayed, was notice of the Demo
cratic County Convention, to meet al
Oskaloosa, Saturday, the 1lth inst
Among other display lines of this
Democratic Rally, as the STANDARD
terms it, is the following:
ID. p. STUBBS,
our old candidate for Judge, will
speak on that day, at 2 o'clock.
COME OUT!
So the democracy are running
Stubs, are they? ID. z. Stubbs
Green5ack candidate for Governor
invited to address democratic con.
vention, and accepting it |! This clear
ly indicates that Stubs and the de.
mocracy are to hunt in couples this
fall. Well, after the hunt, all danger
Of a quarrel over the division of tho
spoils is out of the question, because
there will be nothing to divide.
