4 FEW WORDS OF our TRIP
THROUGH CENTRAL IOWA.
The Beautiful City Of Cedar Rapids
The Grand Promise Of the

The Grand Promise Of the
crops--our Railroads, &c.
We were one of party of eight of
Ottumwa's citizens to board the noon
train north on the Central Railroad of
Iowa, Friday last, destined for Cedar
Rapids, in the interest of a pro-
jected railroad to be built this season,
connecting said city with Ottumwa.
There is too much in the trip to dc
justice to in single letter-such a
letter as the calls for space in our col
ums will make it necessary for us to
write to-day, and this we beg to be
taken as an excuse for some omissions
and the mere illusions to some things
that deserve extended notice.
The Central Railroad of Iowa, tho
pushed through in some parts of it,
ahead of sufficient population to
make it paying, and besides this hav-
ing long been very greatly embarrass-
ed for the want of valuable connect
ing termini, is bound at no distant
day to take rank worthy of the name
it bears. The country it traverses
cannot be surpassed in productiveness
and beauty, and since it has made at
Ottumwa its combined running ar
rangements with the st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Northern road, and at
the north with the Milwaukee and
st. Paul road, making a rapid and di-
rect run with the best of accommOda-
tions, between st. Louis and st. Paul,
the travel upon the route has picked
up greatly, and it needs no sharp Wis
ion to see that this is to become soon
a very popular through route for pas
senger travel and an immense freight
line. The management of the Cen.
trail is new one, but it is evident that
it is to be very successful.
We reached that splendid, thriving
city of Marshalltown about 4 p. M,
and here partook of the hospitality
of that prince of landlords, Cox of the
Bowler House, at the depot, which,
by the way, furnishes excellent en-
tertainment to travellers. There
is, too, up town, that commodious
house for the public, the Boardmar
House, where we stopped upon ou1
return home and We're most hospita
bly, and generously entertained by Mr.
Bowler, who has all the qualities Of {
successful caterer. During the houl
at Marshalltown we witnessed the es
corting of Drew, the great temper
ance orator, to the depot by the cit
zens of that city. Drew had justclos
ed very successful campaign Their
and grateful people accompanied b.
a splendid brass band, escorted him t,
the depot to see him off to Indepen
dence, Iowa, where he next engage
in his battle with King Alcohol. w
met here Judge Hubbard, of Ceda
Rapids, one of the Directors Of GU
new railroad enterprise, the attorne
of the Chicago Northwestern r. II
Co., and one of the most genial ger
tlemen and best lawyers in Iowa. s
good-looking party as ours he pr
5 ceeded at once to chalk; so you see
E amt always a thorny way to be er
f gagged in an attempt to add to tn
e railroad network of the State.
II We left Marshalltown at $40 p. m
8 for a three-hours ride to Cedar Rapit

GENERAL MERCHANDISE

Now that the Mineral Resources of Arizona are being rapidly developed, agricultural products will be in great demand and the Farmer will quickly find himself King, and while enjoying home comforts will reap largely of the golden harvest of the hardy riin"r. Prospectors who are searching the noun tains for hidden treasures it may be poor as Jobs turkey-will in a moment find themselves Bonanza Kings and be able to revel
 in luxury the rest of their days; but all men cannot become owners of rich
 mines! All men cannot
 become wealthy farmers! To the great mass of man. kind the price of pork and beans will still be an object.

n ARMY BILL.

Washington, May 26.-The army appro-
preparation bill will probably be disposed Of
Nv the house tomorrow. The republicans,
with the aid of a few democrats, haye been
able to prevent the adoption of any provi-
sion looking to the reduction Of the army
from the present numerical standard of 25,-
600 men, and also to prevent the reduction
of its pay. In most other particulars the
bill will be passed as it came from the com
mittee, and is an anomalous document. 1t
was framed On the basis of = reduction to
10000 men, and appropriates only enough
to sustain that number; but when it reaches
the senate this will be corrected, and the re-
publicsns will be strong enough to pass it
through the house when it comes back with
the amendments which the sen ,te commit
tee will add. The bill is now held, by the
house by an amendment offered by Mr..
Scales, of North Carolina, transferring the
care Of the Indian bureau to the war depart
ment. A separate bill for this purpose has
been favorably reported from both commit
tees on Indian and military affairs, but it
was thought best by its advocates to attach
it to the appropriation bill in order to Sc
cure its consideration this session. A SINH
lar measure has passed the house twice, but
has failed both times in the senate. Since
the recent Sioux and Nez Perces wars pub
lie opinion ha, changed considerably on this
subject, and the bill stands a better chance
Of getting through the senate now than it
ever did. The bad management Of the In
dian bureau brought on both wars, and it
cost the government many precious lives
and many times as much money to fight the
Indians as it would have cost to treat them
decently. Impending Indian troubles also
have an immediate influence on this meas
ure, and recently the Indian bureau has had
twice to call upon the war department to
prevent outbreaks. Secretary Schurz's un.
popularity in the senate is another cause
which will influence the transfer. Commits.
sioner Hayt has recently made some ridicu
lous reforms in the Indian management
and the Indians are revolving against them

THE sPECU1ATons, Conspiracy.

* THE SPECTATORS ONSPLRACY.
f The folly of Pirate Sherman's attempt to
resume specie payments on the LIST of next
January is becoming more and more appar-
emit daily, for it has become manifest that
the conspirators of Wall street hold absolute
control of the money market, and are deter
mined to seize the occasion for gigantic
and concerted raid upon values generally.
Already they have run up the premium on
gold to- a higher figure than it has reached
for nearly year past, and the banks are re-
ducing their greenback reserves to the lowest
possible limit. The prospect has SO alarmed
Sherman that he has paid visit to New
York, where he held conference with Lead
ing bankers. They set q trap fol. him, he
.nibbled the bait, and is caught. AS the best
means of reducing the gold premiuml in an :
ticipation of resumption he found the bank
ers Thought the only way was to keep the
market abundantly supplied with gold, SO
that the amount on sale should always ex-
coed the abnying demand. To encompass
this Sherman was advised to issuesan order
to the treasurer at Washington and the assist
ant treasurer at New York to pay any out
standing called bonds at any time before
maturity, with interest to and including the
date Of presentation. He promised to do 80.
This will affect $55 ,ooo, 900 Of called bonds.

ID The Pioneer Press had a most dastardly
attack upon number of our German fellow
citizens q day or two ago. The "little lying
Dispatch,',' true to its reputation, accuses
Sheriff King and Auditor Davis of securing
the insertion Of the article in question. OF
course tits unqualifedly and entirely, false
that the gentlemen named had anything to do
with the insulting article or knew of it until
it appeared in print. We don't propose to
reply to the lies of the Dispatch, as they fol-
low SO thick and fast there is no tracing
them, but this was so infamous it seemed to
deserve attention.
