TESTING THE IOWA PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT.

"Prohibitionist' asks the Register
"What shall be the next step in the in
terest of the amendment?'There is but
one next best step to take, and that is tC
get it forward to a hearing of the SUI
preme Court as fast as it can be done.
That court, we are satisfied, from the
opinions given of the situation bv the
best lawyers in the state, would say that
the amendment is legally adopted, in
full force, and that all the laws and pen.
alties for the punishment of the sale OF
intoxicating liquors at once attach to it.
A test case could be got before the SUI
mon tn. Let some one selling beer be ar
rested, taken before some Justice or Judge
who holds to what is called, for sake of
name, the Miller Interpretation of the
amendment and its situation, namely,
that is in full force with all the liquor
laws applying to it and then held for
trial under bond. He can refuse to give
bond, and apply to the Supreme Court
for writ of habeas corpus ON the ground
that there is no law or penalty attaching
to the sale of beer. This would bring
the whole case and the amendment
squarely before the Supreme Court, and
thus secure the settlement of the whole
controversy, as we believe. This is the
one thing of all others to do for the
amendment now, and if any one of the
numerous alliances or leagues being form
ed all over the states is in real earnest, it
can DO in this way practical and GER
tain work in behalf of the measure. Two
things are now demanded in support or
furtherance of the northumberland two
things only, for the present-and that is
to get from the Supreme Court, at the
earliest day possible, first, its decision
whether or not it has been legally adopt
ed, and second, whether by its adoption
ale, wine and beer have not been declar-
ed intoxicating liquors, and so amendable
to the present laws and penalties attach
ing to the sale of such liquors. Work in
detail, in cities and towns here and there,
may be doing good, and is proper enough
perhaps. But the general result and the
certain validity and actual power of the
amendment, il that which is needed most,
and that which will soonest and surest
settle the whole question-so far as the
life and immediate power of the measure
are concerned. After that is decided, and
decided favorably, will Gomez the proper
time for detail effort, and fght all
along the line.
A test case has been agreed upon in
Kossuth oounty,where liquor-sellers have
been fined and an appeal taken to the
State Supreme Court This will bring
the question to a final decision by the
tribunal of last resort. Des Moipes Reg

Rich and fertile agricultural districts
have in every instance been preferred to
mineral or lumber lands, although the
movement of the lumber trade is rapidly
westward. The new wheat fields OF the
Northwest, in particular have drawn to
themselves this movement OF labor. In
the Territory of Dakota, the lands pre-
empted came to 4,570,000 acres, an in
crease over last year of LOO, 900 acres.
The South, too, has felt the flow Of new
and active blood, in its stagnant life, and
the occupation Of new lands has grown
from1 $50, 900 last year to $40, 900 acres
In the aggregate the Western states show
an increase of about SO per cent, the
Southern states, an increase of nearly 60
per cent, and the Territories of IS per
cent Significantly the bankrupt mining
state of Nevada alone shows falling OFT
in the sale Of public lands.
Uuuder the generous provisions of our
public land system 100000 acres were
purchased for farms, 100000 for home
steads and 1900, coo for final occupation,
For mining purposes but $4,000 acres
were appropriated. The impressions
| formed from the rough preliminary STA
tistics published last month have been
confirmed by the more detailed and elab-
crate figures Just issued. Great has been
the tide of immigration into the country,
the occupation of farming lands has far
outstripped it. A large proportion of the
Eastern population, discontented with the
uncertainties OF employment in manufaCt-
ures, and the alternate unhealthy excite
ment and stagnation in trade, taking its
rise in the interference by tariff laws with
the normal conditions of business, is
moving to the West, and taking up inde-
pendent and profitable employment in
the wheat and corn producing regions of
that country. Our population is particu-
larly mobile, and, the impetus once CIV
en-, westward flow like in kind to the
movement to California in 1849 but vast
ly exceeding it in extent and amount can
confidently be predicted.
Emigration from the East, such as this
is not only beneficial to the district to
which it is diverted; by relieving the
large centers of trade here of surplus la
borers it benefits the condition of those
who remain behind. Big figures have al
ways an attractive look to American eyes,
and the growth of our cities is particular
ly source Of national pride. We are
apt to forget, however, that it is in these
cities where the tendency to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer is most
strongly felt. Much surplus energy and
much money is devoted by labor organi-
cations to perpetuate the struggle Of labor
against capital. In England like associ-
ations make themselves felt as power
for good, and not for evil, by promoting
plans for colonization, which secure a
permanent and two-foll relief that has
never been attained by even the most
successful strike. The report of the Land
Office is well worth the study of our own
trades unions and labor organizations

Hartford Courant says: "The Rev. W..
F. Crafts, Congregational minister in
Brooklyn, recently wrote an article for
the Advance, entitled 'Paul's blunder,
in which he tried to show that the Apos-
tie made a huge mistake in preaching
such a sermon as he did at Athens, ins
stead of pitching in at once with the doc
trine of the cross The article was so
foolishly conceived that the editor of the
advance printed brief editorial in which
he stoutly antagonized the article. But
the funny thing about it is, thai an or
thodox clergyman should SO innocently
convict Paul of laundering" What
ever plumbers he may have made, his
sermon or speech on Mars Hill was not
one of them. Probably the Rev. Mr..
Crafts is the blunderer, but we should not
have noticed it but for the fact that the

Capture OfAIrGee.

On Friday night the sheriff
of Bell county succeededin cap
turing A. D. Gee, who killed
DR.. Moeller in old. Washington,
on Saturday January 2Ist, and
who escaped from sheriff Hutch
lnson on the Tuesday following.
Gee was caught at the house of
David Stokes, four miles north
east of Temple, a little while al
ter dark. 1t would appear that
the sheriff of Bell county had
had an eye on Gee for a day or
two. On Friday he described
Gee and sent a boy to Stokes
house TO eat dinner; the boy
went, got dinner and returned
reporting that Gee was there,
after dark the sheriff went and
arrested him, Gee had no pistol
when arrested, having left it at
a neighboring house. He had
been in the neighbothood for
four days, so it is said, helping
to rope cows or rather gather
ing cattle, preparatory to start
ing on drive to Nebraska. On
Saturday Gee was brought
down from Temple on the San
ia Fe road to Milano Junction
and from there was taken to
Austin, via the International,
where he was no doubt put in
Jail yesterday evening. When
the news reached Brennan it
was the general theme ofstreet
talk, and various openions were
