Iowa's Unpublished Census.

"l)o you know. said man from the
northwest to the Critic to-day, that
Iowa took n census in 1885 and that the
results of that census have never been
made public Well il is a fact, and |
will tell you why there was no publicity
about the census. Ii was because it did
not make by any means az good show.
ing IA the national census of 1850. No
state wants to show retrogrcssion. espec.
tally one Of the booming western states
Iowa especially prides herself on her
share and getup, and she was not going
to let anybody know that her fair pro.
portions were dwindling. Oh, yes:
Iowa is just M wealthy as ever, but the
Dakota racket ratified many Of her peo-
pie. Dakota is the best advertised piece
of property on Gods footstool and the
Iowa pUplo wanted to get there and
they went. Dakota has for the past five
years been draining Iowa. and the result
Of that draining was very perceptibly
shown by last years census. And that
gives you all the reasons why you will
never get glimpse at those Iowa census
