Iowa can beat Missouri in raising potatoes and

surpass Iowa in winter wheat, corn, fruit and
cattle. The value of farm land in Missouri is far
above that of Iowa. Take st. Charles county
and Warren county land, which ID selling at
from $50 to 800 per acre; and the worst OF it is
that ST. Charles county is solid democratic and
the land IS not rs good As the Lafayette county

EDITOR INTELLIeENCER:-Aside from the fact
that during twelve years service of EldridGe

was but one appeal from his decision, and also
that able lawyers who practced in his court say
that he never made an erroneous decision Let

report as follows touching the probate records
and books during about nine years Of the term
OF Office Of Judge Eldridge Burden. and John f
Burden as clerk:
1--WE have made a thorough examination OF
the probate records, from January l, 1866, to
August, 1874, the expiration of Judge Burden 4
term of Office. We examined every estate tina
was upon record, and made an exact account oi
the tees charged to the several estates. and in all
cases We found the charges to be very light fol
the amount Of work done. We would furthe'
state that We eX amined the lee books for probate
charges. In many cases We found that fees hsc
been entirely RENTED on widows. minors ant
poor estates. and We are free to confess tba
from the large amount of work done and the in
telligent and legal manner in which it has been
done, that the compensation Is lar below wha
could reasonably have been expected. or whal
it would have amounted to. We therefore con-
cluds our report on this branch OF our investIgn-
tion by saying that no excess Of charges has been
made. but. on the contrary, the tees have been
but y small compensation for the time. iubo,
and satisfactory manner in which the whole
business of the probate court has been conduct

his court. He Is Il first class lawyer, man
| free from prejudice. kind hearted. and is no
office-seeker or politician, never having. as far

legal atmosphere. In his boyhood days his
father was judge Of this circuit, which then ex-
tended from th. Usage to the Missouri and from
jefferson City to the Kansas line. Later in Lille
his father was honored with seat upon the su-
preme bench OF the state. After the war. Judge
Ryland received his into his office as his law
partner. and with surroundings like these did
the son enter upon practice, the extent ol
which has proven his merits and ability.
We have nothing to say az ainst the other gen
temen who are Candidates for this office; We
look solely to the welfare of the people. the good
order of society, the enforcement Of the law IN

gent, thinking people OF johnson their undivided
