Superintendent Porter OF the Gen.
sus bureau has prepared an intro
duction to the bulletin on mortgage
indebtedness of individuals and cor
porations in the United States. From
this report we learn that the entire
mortgage debt of the State of Iowa
the first of January 1890, was $780,
oS4 ,957, with an interest rate varying
from one to twenty per cent. The
number Of acres covered by mortgage
in the state are 3,24O, 1872. The indi-
vidual debt in the form of notes, due
bills and book accounts secured by
endorsers, and unsecured, is proba.
bly, half as much more. The annual
interest on this debt at 8 per cent. is
about twenty one millions of dollars.
1t is not the magnitude OF the indi-
vidual debts nor the purposes for
which created that bothers those in
debted, but the Instructions in the
way Of an inadequate money supply
to maintain paying prices on their
products. 1t takes too much pork
or beef to buy dollar. Double the
money supply and the prices would
be increased correspondingly. Against
this is the issue of wall street, recent
ly endorsed by Mr.. Cleveland in it's
interest, and not in the interest o1
labor.

DEPOT BURNED.

Saturday morning, about o'clock,
or little later, the railroad depot in
Cresco was discovered on fire and
was entirely consumed with most Of
its contents. The fire originated i4
the freight department and when
discovered was to far advanced to
allow admission to the room to Sc
cure and save the freight and goods
remaining there temporarily, One
story about its origin Is that the night
operator went in there for a scuttle
Of coal, leaving his lantern and on
his return for it and for more coal,
found the room all in flames. Anoth-
er is that he went there to fill q lamp
and in some manner the fire was
started, but what truth there is to
either story we are unable TO state.
For many years lamps have been
filled in that room, more or less oil
saturating the floor, rendering it al
most as ready to burn as powder.
The Boston Clothing Co., had q
quantity Of goods destroyed; there
was also p quantity of butter,
amounting to some &600 belonging to
some party away from here, designed
for delivery to w. r. Owen. The
goods belonging to the
man who is to have charge Of the
Merchants creamery, besides quite q
lot of miscellaneous goods belonging
to various individuals. The goods
in the express room wore also con-
it being cut oil from ali acr
cess from the start.

The criticism of Mr.. Noonan upon
the question OF county uniformity is
unquestionably correct SO far as it
applies to state uniformity being more
desirable. and what the Alliance
should demand. But county uni
formity will be q step In that direct
ion, as Blaine's reciprocity ID step
toward the democratic idea OF o tariff.
With him we believe In having the
school hoods OF the state published
by the state, and That no child should
be without books to use in the pub
lie schools; that where the parents or
guardian refuses, neglects. or is un-
abls to furnish the people should
be taxed therefor. We are with him,
down on trusts and combines that
extort from the people. and the
school book trust has been one Of the
