Iowa is all stirred up on the liquor
cues ton. One week from next Tuesday
June 27--the people of that State will
vote for or against an amendment to the
State cons titution absolutely prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
drinks. The proposed amendment is as
follows:
No person shall manufacture for sale,
sell, or keep for sale as beverage, any
intoxicating liquors whatever, including
ale, wine and beer The General Assem-
bly, shall by law prescribe regulations for
the enforcement of the provisions herein
contained, and shall thereby provide suit
able penalties for violations of the provi-
sions thereof.
The champions of both sides of the
controversy are canvassing the State
thoroughly, and the prospect is that a
full vote will be brought out. The Pro
hibitionists feel very confident of the sue
cess of the amendment.

BEER-DRINKING.

That we are fast becoming beer
drinking nation is fully and officially
demonstrates by the statistics of the In
ternal Revenue Department. A tabulat-
ed statement just completed from the
books of the department for "Tovey' S
Brewers and Masters Directory" adj
vance sheets of which are before US, shows
that for the year 1881 the total of malt
liquors consumed in the United States
was Is, 1885, 49 barrels During the rev.
enue year ending May l, 1881, the ag-
gregate was 14,125, 466 barrels. This
shows an average increase in manufact-
ure and consumption for the last eight
months of 1881, as compared with the
corresponding period of 1880, of 1850
600 barrels, equal to an increase of q
347, 044 barrels for theyear This makes
almost, if not quite, one-third of barrel,
or about two hundred glasses of malt liq-
uor 10 every man, woman and child in
the country.
New York leads in the list of states
with 1924, 1874 barrels sold last year with
an aggregate increase of nearly 100000
barrels over 1880. Pennsylvania comes
next, showing the consumption of 1898,
$50 barrels, with corresponding increase
over the preceding year. Ohio ranks
third ID the list, and is credited with
having consumed 1,489,862 barrels in
1881, against 1,291, 203 for the year end
ing May of the same year, an aggregate
increase during the eight month of 1885,
$50 barrels. There are six states where
in no malt liquors were manufactured
and sold under the revenue laws; name
ly, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Maine,
Mississippi and Vermont.
Of the cities, New York is credited
with 2,658,077 barrels in 1881 against
2, 1927, 1926 in 1880, an increase of over
100000 barrels. Philadelphia is second,
with 965, 1873 barrels, against 832,553 in
1880, an increase of 1873, 900 barrels over
the preceding year. ST. Louis comes
next, with 76,06l barrels, to III, 578 in
1880 Milwaukee takes the lead in pro
portion TO population, having turned ou
for consumption in 1881, 844, 662 barrels
which is an increase of 1902 barrels
over the preceding year. Brooklyn, ''tht
city of churches shows up with 749, 21S
barrels, while Boston, the city of culture

THE ORIGINAL HOME OF THE
HORSE.

There is no doubt that the original
home of the horse is not Europe, but
Central Asia; for since the horse in its
natural state depends upon grass for its
nourishment, and heetness for its wea-
pom, it could not have thriven and multi
piled in the thick forest-ground territory
of Europe Much rather should its place
of propagation be sought in those steppes
where it still roams about in wild state
Here, too, arose the first nations of riders
of which we have historic knowledge, the
Mongolians and the Turks, whose exis-
tence at this day is as it were combined
with that of the horse. From these re-
gions the horse spread in all directions,
especially in the steppes of Southern and
Southeastern Russia, and into Thrace, I'm
til it finally found entrance into the 9th
er parts of Europe, but not until after the
immigration of the people. This assump-
ton is, at least, strongly favored by the
fact that the farther district Of Europe,
is from those Asiatic steppes, /. G., from
the original home of the horse, the later
does the tanned horse seem to have made
its historic appearance In it. The sup
position is further confirmed by the fact
that horse raising among almost every
tribe appears as an art derived from
neighboring tribes in the east and north
east Even in Homer the OK appears ex-
clusively as the draught animal in land
operations at home and in the field, while
tho horse was used for purposes of war
only. Its employment in milltay opera
tons was determined by swiftness alone.
That the value of the horse must origin
ally have depended upon its feetness,
can easily be inferred from the name
which is repeated in all the branches OF
the Indo-European language, and signl-
fes nearly "hastening," 'quick." The
same fact is emplified by the descrip-
tons of the Oldest poets, who, next to Its
courage, speak most of its swiftness.-

WEDNESDAY. JUNE IA. 1882.
THE FIRST GIN.

More than the usual interest was cen
tered in the election in Oregon held on
the 5th inst. both because the Legislature
to be chosen would elect a United States
Senator in place of Grover, Democrat,
whose term expires next March, and for
the reason that the first expression OF
opinion from the Pacific coast in regard
to the prohibition of Chinese immigration
would be given through this election.
The result has exceeded the expectations
of the most sanguine Republicans. The
Republican state ticket has been chosen
by majority of $500 the largest major
ity ever given in the state and the legls-
lature will contain a majority OF from
eight to ten on joint ballot, thus insuring
a Republican Senator in place OF Grover,
a much needed requisite for the Repub-
licans in view of the two parties being so
closely balanced IN the present United
States Senate. Thus Grover fails of ali
endorsement from the people of Oregon
for the conspiracy he entered into to give
the electoral vote Of that state to save
Tilden in 1876. On the whole Republic
ans cannot help turning to the Oregon
election of this year with pleasant feel

THE STAR ROUTE. CASES. WASHING
TON, June 1.-THE star reuters are max
inc loud boasts that the prosecution has
virtually failed to make out the case
against them. Col. ingersoll had party
of contractors and mail agents around
him in his Office to-day, and they were
very hilarious over the prospect. They
claimed that the government counsel
only called witnesses to consume time;
that they have nc evidence to produce.
Col. James McKibbin,, agent for some of
the largest contracting firms, boosted
that the government failed when it came
to fight with the sage brushers, and they
had the victory in their hands. Prose
cutting Attorney Bliss was seen, but he
was non-communicatiye, except to ex-
pres the opinion that the prosecution
would be finally successful.

THE ALEXANDRA RIOTS.

They are having truly enjoyable time
at Alexandria, that is, after the Ottoman
fashion, The teleg1aphic columns tell US
that serious riot has broken out, and
that it is not of political nature, which
last tho it may be very comforting, does
not alter that some sixty-seven Europeans
have been killed, and more wounded.
These, taken together with the broken
heads and bruised bodies of the many I'M
mentioned natives make nice offering
for the alter of discord which has been
set up between the Porte and the Khe-
dive of Egypt. Of course the European
powers who have a finger at all seasons
in the Egyptian pie, will now suggest a
conference to see what the row was about
and we presume after good deal OF talk
ing and some more local blood letting
things will be about as they were before,
if not little worse. 1t is sometimes a
question, does it pay to maintain the pres
ent relations of Turkey and Egypt?
1t will not be many years before the
question will be practically answered, and
that too, not to Turkeys advantage, nor
Europes either. The Eastern question is
the political cancer, that is eating out
the life blood of European harmony and
peace, and to it may be traced all the
discord and rioting and war that for tie
last hundred years has disgraced the an
nails of humanity.

The SCARCITY OF IvoRY.-Predic-
tons are made in England that ivory
will soon become so scarce that its use
for piano keys, knife handles and fans
will be reserved for the rich alone. Oh
late there have been rapid advances in
the London market price of this article,
the latest advance having been from $l5
per hundred-weight to $40, while anoth-
err is talked of Only eighty-one tons
were offered at the last quarterly sale,
against 122 tons in April of last year.
OF Cape ivory there has been continued
scarcity, while of the west coast of Afri-
ca supply there is now much less in hard
than formely. Stores in the London clocks
now amount to only 1873 tons, compared
with 213 tons for last year. One dealer
has Just had invoiced to him no fewer
than 522 tusks, all of which he expected
a fortnight ago to dispose of by this time.
These tusks represent 276 elephants:
Facts like these are lead nc to a renewal
of the old predictions that the elephant
will before many years belong to the ex
met animals.

ARICH CITY.-Frankfort Main,

any other capital in Germany or Europe.
1t is stated that there are 100 Frankfort

TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY.

This is the pet idea of free traders, 1t
is British notion, and they but echo a
British voice in advocating it. The Eng
lish raise revenues of about $780,
600, 900 yearly from duties on tea, coffee,
sugar, tobacco and like articles which
they do not and cannot produce at home;
and admit woolens, cottons, iron and like
articles which they manufacture largely
free of duty. We are asked to adopt the
same plan or some approach toward it.
If we do our British cousins hope, with
their great capital and cheap labor, to
break down our manufactures, get con-
troll of our markets, and then charge us
what prices they please for their goods.
A London journal says: "The success OF
the Free Trade League in the United
States would largely increase our Ameri-
eau trade" So we have tariff for rev.
enue only praise in persuasive tones. 1t

Fair play with and from England, re

Protective tariffs pay the best revenue,
because the country prospers best with
