Increase OF Perjury.

The Chicago Times of Saturday saws
Iowa, like Kansas. is going to prohibit
by an amendment to the fundamental
law, the manufacture or sale of intoxica.
ting liquors, including ale, wine, or beet.
The amendment has not yet been voted
upon in Iowa, but the indications point
to its adoption by an overwhelming vote.
AS enrolled in the office of the secretary
of state. the proposed amendment reads:
No person shall manufacture for sale or
sell or keep for sale, as beverage, any
Intoxicating liquors. including ale, wine,
or beer. And there is considerable dis
cussion, which doesn't appear to be i'm
portant, as to what the proper punctus .
tion is. The intent is clear enough, let
the commas fall where they will. When
Iowa has adopted this amendment. and
entered upon the execution of the penal
laws which will be passed to give it eff
feet, she will find. as Maine and Kansas
have found, that such an enactment does
not do away with mems appetites, or
with means of their qualification. Iowa
will finds Maine and Kansas have found,
that suppression laws of this kind but
breed desire to procure liquors at any
cost; that the illicit traffic will have a
lodgment where licensed saloons never
would have existed; that drunkenness
will increase, and with it perjury, and
that the last condition of tile state will
be considerably worse than the first"

PendletOn's Prospects.
(Titusville Penny Herald |


The signs are open and palpable thai
both Tilden and Pendleton are Presi-
Dental aspirants, with the chances in
favor of the latter. But Mr.. Tllden's
age and infrmities are against him,
and he has such a bitter fight on his
hands at home that his availability
may well be questioned. MIR. Pendle.
ton, on the other hand, is in the prime
of life, and with Governor Seymour n
retirement the Democratic party has
really nowhere else to look for leader
among her leading statesmen. We
fear General Hancock must be counted
out The General is really too light a
weight for the Office. Senator Pendle-
ton, is practical statesman, and knows
all about machinery of Government
and his talents are of the highest Or
der. His adoption of Civil Service
Reform has brought him to the front,
and as Curtis and Schurz think that
question the uppermost one now, it
would not surprise us to see these
gentlemen supporting Pendleton. Of
course, we are aware three years may
introduce an entirely new issue. Mr..
Pendleton may be overshadowed or
distanced by some new rival in his
party. But, accidents excepted, we
consider that Pendleton's nomination
by his party highly probable event.
His choice by the Electoral College is
a more doubtful contingency.
