Municipal Prohibition.

Usage, in Mitchell county, is one of
most prosperous town in Northern Iowa,
1t has a class of energetic and wide
awake merchants, doing a large bust
ness, who are intensely sensitive to any
thing affecting the business and pros
perity of the town. Two years ago, af-
ter a sharp struggle between those who
held opposite theories, regarding the eff
feet upon a town Of banishing from it
the sale of liquor, the prohibition party
elected their candidates for city officers,
and thence forward, until this time,
there has not been a drinking saloon of
any kind tolerated within the city lin
its. The same party was again success
full last year, but had considerable OPP
position at the polls. This year, so sat-
isfactory has the policy of prohibition
became, hat the candidates favoring it
were elected without opposition, the
people of the town, as it appears, unan-
imously acquiescing in the wisdom and
good effects of banishing the saloons.
The following preamble and resolutions
adopted without a dissenting voice at
the caucus to nominate city officers,
has a significance to which we can add
nothing, and are commended to the Pc
rusal of those who maintain that no
town can be prosperous without whis-
key:
WHEREAS the electors of this city at the TWO
previous municipal elections, declared in favor
of the enforcement of the Prohibitory Laws of
iowa and against licensing saloons within the
Incorporation, that In our judgment through
such action the best interests of this city have
been promoted, the business of our town in
creased, %drunkness and crime diminished, and
the cause of morality, temperance and religion
advanced; Therefore,
ResOlUed, That we are in favor of a %cOntinu-
ance of the same policy that has so greatly
prospered our city in the past and given to
Usage an honored name abroad.
Res0lued, That the ticket this night nOminat-
ed be requested to adhere to this same temper
ance policy, and that we desire them to supple
ment 1t by a wise and judiciOus system of i'm.
movements on our Dublic streets.

Our Next Congressional Candidate.
DEBORAH Republican.

In several of the Congressional dis
tricts of the State, agitation has already
commenced preliminary to the campaign
of next fall. In a number there are al
ready several prospective candidates,
Notwithstanding the present incumbents
are serving their first term, and, by par
ty usage are entitled to an endorsement,
if they have served with reasonable
fidelity. We have watched with much
interest for indications Of a similar char
acter, in this district. So far, we see
zone. This, we interpret as evidence OF
satisfaction in the course of Capt. Bur
dick. The first term of any member of
Congress permits little opportunity for
prominence or marked character. As a
member of the minority, Capt. Bur-
dicks chance has been less than usual.
But it can be truly said that he has in
these respects, proved more than equal
to any representative since the first
term of Senator Allison; while in per-
forming the private service, which, by
custom, has attached to the office, he
has in no case failed to meet the fullest
expectations of his constituents. At
the same time, it is justice, not iattery,
to say he has developed some of the best
characteristics of a strong, influential
and successful member of Congress.
Capt. Burdick's friends naturally de-
sire that he shall have the usual party
honors; but they will not ask this unless
he has deserved them. Silence, when
agitations are going on in other districts
is to us the best evidence that the peo-
pie of the district will, when the time
comes, cheerfully endorse his career by
a denomination and a reelection.
