The! Iowa delegation has presented in
the house and senate duplicate copies OF
a joint resolution and memorial passed
by melr state legislature, askipg for the
establishment OF o northwestern branch
OF the home for disabled and IN
digent union soldiers and sailors. The
documents were referred to the commit

Indications do not point to the pas;
cage of the educational bill, which pro
poses to distribute among the %states,
pro rata, large Gums for public school
purposes. Indeed, 1t seems more stout
IL opposed in this congress than it was
in the last me-. 1t has lost ground,
evidently, in the long discussion 10 the
senate. The constitutional objection
urged by Senator Morgan and some
ther of the debaters there have had
more weight than was expected by the
friends OF the bill. IT may get through
the senate, but there seems small pros
peets Of getting it through the house.
The annual report of the directors of
the Illinois Central RAILROAD for the
year ended tDecember 3lst, 1885, shows
chat the gross sum received for the year
was $12,62l, 600, an increase Of $464,000
for the lines in Illinois and the south,
and a decrease OF $4,000 in Iowa. The
net earnings were $4,776,000. The re-
port attributes the decreased earnings
of the Iowa leased lines principally to
the decrease OF business consequent up
on the iessening of immigration into
Iowa and the states beyond. The causes
mentioned are higher taxation, building
OF opposition lines and lowering OF
freight and passenger rates.
