TN. Iowa PrOhlbnt.Ory Law.

A case intended to test the validity
of the Constitutional Prohibitory a
mendment, passed in Iowa by the popu'
lar vote, last June, was heard on Thurs
dav last i'll the District Court in Daven"
port, Judge Walter f. Hays presiding.
The plaintiff, brewers, sold Sl3 worth
| of beer to saloon keeper, who refused
pay yment on the ground that the Dill
conld not be collected under the law.
The Court reserved its decision until
/ Yesterday, when 1t was announced by
Judge Hays. The Judge holds thai
the amendment "was not legally made
a part of the STATE Constitution,
chiefly on the grounds that "the jour
nails of the Legislature do not contain
the act in full on their pages, and d.
not contain the yeas and nays takeI
upon the same, and that, according t.
the journals, the act, as passed by tn
Senate of the Eighteenth Assembly
was, in its terms, prohibitory of tn
sale or manufacturing of liquor, no
only as q beverage, but also to be used
and hence; prohibited it and its use TO
any and all purposes, even sacramen
tai. medicinal, ETC.; but, as it passe'
the House OF the Eighteenth Genera
Assembly, it was in terms merely pro
! hibitory ofliquor as a beverage. Ii
these respects, therefore, tbe require
ments of the Constitution providing 70
the manner of its amendment have bee
disregarded. The journals do not con
tain the proper entries, and the sam
act has pot passed both houses of til
} Legislature"
