EDITOR BULLETIN:-In the direction
Of temperance, the present House has
gone as far rs possible, and still leave
every chance for procuring liquor for
mechanical or medicinal purposes. It is
but the shortest step. from the present
status Of liquor in this State to what it
would be il the Davisson amendment had
been adopted, which provided shat mel.
Their spirituous or malt liquor, wine or
cider should be manufactured, sold or
given away within the State"
In addition to all laws previously ex.
listing, the House has, this winter, provid-
ed by law that any person must procure a
petition, signed by majority Of the voters
in his township, before he can get per-
NIT to sell liquor, and after he gets his
permit he is forbidden to sell to any per-
son who is,or may become" intoxicated,
and made liable for the drunken mans
time, or any damage he may do, or any
loss that he or his family may sustain by
reason Of his spree. 1t also makes the
building where the liquor is sold liable to
bs sold to pay such loss or damage, and
all these damages and liabilities attach to
any person who may give away his liquor
that attach to seller. The language Of
the law is, ito any person who is, or may
become intoxicated. May become in
tOxicatcd when! The same day, or the
same week, or the same month, or the
same year: There is a happy haze Of
uncertainty about this point that is de-
signed to frighten all liquor sellers from
the field. And patent and proprietary
medicines and apothccaries' prescriptions
are on the same footing with liquor.
Ill were q liquor seller l would emf
crate from Iowa while l had money
enough left TO buy ticket.
The Senate will scarcely 90 the length
the House has gone It will probably
perform, in this matter, its appropriate
function, which is 70 put down the breaks
when the House gets too much steam on.
But there IL greater experiment CO.
ing on in the State 0f Iowa In this pres
ent year OF grace. 1t il to see II . law
can be enacted against the sale Of liquor
as beverage. which shall be strong
enough to enforce itself; that will run
without any outside help. like a self.
winding watch or veritsble perpetual
motion.
The people of Iowa are, in the main,
sound Of: tho temperance qucstion-in
theory. They will think right, talk right,
and vote right, but they would rather be
excused from taking any active or indi.
xidual responsibility in the premises.
They say to the drunkard's family, "be ye
fed" and I'VE W warmed" and they say

The action of the Iowa Senate,
last Friday, in refusing to submit
to the vote Of the people the propos-
ed amendment to the Constitution,
comforting suffrage upon women,
was no less than cowardly and in
tolerant. 1t is safe to say that two
thirds Of the people Of Iowa, wheth-
er friends or enemies of the amend
mcnt, were willing or favorable to
its submission. A similar PROPOSE
ton to confer suffrage upon the
negro, was submitted at time when
not 1.-THE of the people favored the
measure, compared with those who
are now demanding suffrage for
women. The last General Assem-
bly, voted favorably on this PROPOSE
ton, and it had been regarded rs
a settled thing that the present one
would ratify that action, to the cx-
tent at least, of affording the people
an opportunity to adopt or reject it.
The majority in the Senate were not
constrained to vote as they did by
instructions or any other expression
of the popular will, nor was one of
them elected on the issue of opposi-
ton to this amendment. That the
people wished or expected to vote
on the amendment seems not to have
been considered at all, the only con.
sideration Of weight with those who
opposed the submission being their
own prcconceived opinions or preju-
dices regarding the proposed reform.
The theory of their action was we'll
expressed by one Of them, who said:
~ cannot recommend the amend
ment, and shall therefore cote
against Its s~6missiom." The italics
arc ours. How much fear that wo-
man suffrage might make friends in
the discussion of it, as live issue
before the people of the State, had
to do with this intolcrant action OF
it's opposers in the Senate, we leave
others to say.
The arguments advanced in de-
fense Of this narrow policy were
worthy Of it, Senator Claussen,
who seems to have been tho leader
of the opposition, made a speech
which it would be flattery to call
weak. It was puerility itself. Its
whole argument was based on the
assumed moral, mental and social
inferiority of the opposite sex; its
statements of facts were incorrect,
and its deductions illogical and So
phistical. AS sample of the stuff
deemed necessary to interpose
against the claim for political cquali'
ty by women, We notice one state
ment. Mr.. Claussen said:
"If, in 1864, the females had voted,
their horror Of a cruel war, said to
be unjust, and their fondncss 70,
their nearest relatives, engaged in
or to be drafted for that war, would
undoubtedly have turned the scales
for Mcclellan; female suffrage in
1864 would have brought us dis
reputed country and continuous
wars between north and south would
have established in the south con
federacy, whose corner stone would
have been slavery"
This base libel upon the patriot
ism of our women, needs no refuta
ton, but shows the line of argu
ment adopted by the enemies Of the
reform. -,

shell until the meeting of the next Gene
raj Assembly. If liquor sellers can be
toppled over by blowing rams horns, as
were the walls of Jericho, or If they can
be driven into the sea by the pounding of
gongs and unearthly yells as the Chinese
used to drive their enemies, or If you can
drive them from their traffic by pointing
empty guns, or even with guns loaded to
the muzzle with the most stringent tenn
perance law, then will they be driven
from their accursed business by legal en-
sctment without the aid Of live moral
sentiment among the people, but not till
then.
am sorry-and twenty thousand vo-
tiers in Iowa share the feeling-that the
Senate could not have been SO magnani-
nous as to give to the people chance
to say whether the superior half Of our
people should have the right to take hold
and help elevate our sadly dem0ralized
politics. Senator Claussen, who is seven.
ty years old, and superanuated Dutch
man who thinks he ID back on the banks
of the Rhine, and in the middle of the
Seventeenth Century, told the learned
Senators that if the women had voted in
"64," Mcclellan would have been elected,
and presume some of them believed
him. Senator Richards, who had incur
red the displeasure of Mrs. Slavery by
his want of gallantry, did not show his
smiling face on the day the vote was
taken.
Senator Rowland was entrapped into
voting for the resolution by PROPOSE
ton of his own making. Being at par
ty at Mr.. Wright's, he was rallied by some
of the ladies present, ON his antisufrage
sentiment, whcreupon he made the propo-
sition that vote of tho Indies present
should be taken, and if majority favor.
cd woman suffrage, he would vote it. A
vote was had and there was six majority
in favor of woman suffrage and the Senator
carried out the compact and voted for the
resolution in the Senate.
Mrs. Swisshelm was present with as
many female friends of suffrage As could
get into the Senate Chamber, and some
Of the younger ones were in tears when
they left, so intense was the disappoint-
ment they suffered.

Sorncts,ing New and Esefss.

We were shown, on Tuesday last by Mr..
E. K Rand, who has the right for Manito-
voc Co., one of the most useful little in
yentions we ever saw. 1t is simply an ap-
pliance to be attached to any lamp used
for the burning Of kerosene oil Its prin-
ciple is to render the burning Of kerosene
oil free of danger. 1t is attached by a
screw to the top Of any lamp, to which the
regular burner is screwed on, and is 30
constructed that free current Of cir is
constantly being injected on the oil in the
lamp, thus preventing the generating of
gas which renders the use Of kerosene so
dangerous; person falling or stumbling
with the lamp, with thi. contriyance
on it, causes its immediate cxtIngui.h-
ment Another feature of this appii-
ancs is reducing the liability Of breaking
chimnies. The wick can be- at the moment

without enlangering the chimney at all,
thus making saving in this matter alone
of considerable sum We would advise
our readers to call on Mr.. Rand at the
corner of Buffalo and York streets, and sec
the article itself, and we are sure they will
be impressed with it's usefulness full as
much as we are.

Surprise Earfy at Harris Corners.

On Thurs day last, Superintendent Mich
ael Fellows gave the hint to some fifteen or
twenty of our citizens that there was to be
a dance at Harris Corners that evening,
and that, in case they came over to the
depot about o'clock p. m. they would find
a train ready to leave for that locality, and
by keeping still as possible about the affair,
we might make a surprise party of it. At
s clock all were on hand, and soon real
lied the fact that they were moving rapidly
IN that direction. On arriving at Harris
we found large hall filled with dancers,
keeping time to the music Of Beech and
Walker string band, and ali seemed to
enjoy themselves to the uttermost. We
joined the may dance at once, AMI then
called on our old friend Seth Kendel, who
seemed well and prosperous. On our re-
turn, we found that several ladies of thi.
city had found out what was in the future
Of the eyaning, and had ordered horses and
sleighs to pick them up at their several
houses about the time the train left, and
were on hand to surprise their Aege lords
Within three quarters of an hour after their
arrival the ladies engaged their partners,
and the dance went merrily on. When the
supper hour arrived all found a bountiful
repast provided at the tables of Mrs. |. n.
Harris, where all were promptly attended
to. In the mean time the gentlemen had
sent their wives livery home to await them
at the depot, so that the ladies' should ac-
company them home by rail, which was
duly appreciated by all the gentlemen CON
cerncd. The party was made up almost
entirely Of people living along the line of
the railroad, and they were down from the
town of Brllion in force. It was our frat
experience there, but they may count in US
hereafter every time as willing to stay until
the whistle blows. hIr. @. l.. Brown.

The great Chicago fire laid waste,
during the fatal hours between Sunday
evening, Oct. 9th, and Tuesday morning
following, hundreds of millions of dollars in
property. All the principal buildings.
banks, stores, warehouses, printing
Offices, and publishing houses went down;
among the latter were the Offices Of the

which is characteristic Of Chicago, the
publishers, Messrs. Waters, Eberts s Co.,
while their fine Offices were yet burning,
were making arrangements to resume their
business and carry forward their great
enterprise. They Immediately secured a
new location at 1888 State street, which
they occupy until their former place is re
, built. They are now issuing their paper,
a beautiful eight page, illustrated, literary
and Preside journal, filed with choice
reading and finely illustrated, and are pur-
suing their original plan of distributing one
hundred thousand dollars among their
