The Iowa PrOhibitOry Amendment De-
clared Invalid.

Dies MONIES, January 49,
The Prohibitory amendment to the Constitl1-
ton adopted by the popular vote last June
was declared to be invalid by the Supreme
Court to-day, Judge Sewers rendering the
opinion. The case was entitled Koehler s.
Lang Us. Hill, from Davenport. The plain
tins sued Hill for the value of beer sold him.
Hill admitted the debt, but pleaded
that the Constitutional amendment for
babe the sale of beer, wine and ale,
and claimed exemption from the debt.
The plaintiffs amended their petition,
by declaring that the amendment was not in
force, the record of the House of. the
Eighteenth Assembly failing to show that it
had passed, and that the House measure diff
fered from the amendment as passed by the
Senate in form and substances; further, that
subsequent action in the Nineteenth Assem-
bly, did not and could not cure the careless
ness Of the Eighteenth Assembly.
The cause was tried by Judge Hayes at
Davenport, who gave verdict for the plain
tiff for the amount claimed and declared the
amendment not in operation.
The opinion rendered is very long and re-
views fully the case and all the authorities
bearing thereon. Many collateral issues were
raised in the lower court but have been
dropped as immaterial. Judge Sewers says
that while it is true enrolled bills are land
marks of evidence, yet inasmuch as the Iowa
Constitution does not require amendments to
the Constitution to be enrolled as laws are the
Legislative Journals in this State are equally
competent as evidence as to the constitutional
provisions as enrolled bills. In the case at this
bar the journal of the House of the Eighteenth
Assembly does not show that the amendment
was passed, and also that it varied in form and
substance from the measure in the Senate.
This being the case, the next Legislature could
not correct the mistakes of its predecessor,
and the amendment falls
The dissent of Judge Beck is longer than
the opinion. He takes opposite ground to the
view above, and says in addition, that mas
much as the people had elected the members
OF the Nineteenth Assembly on the issue of
tne amendment they themselves had cured
the regularities of the Eighteenth Assembly.
Judge Beck also declares the much-mooted
snort publication of the Oskaloosa paper to
laws.
The case was heard by an audience that
nlled the Senate Chamber nearly full.

LozDoN, March l5.-A terrific gas explosion
in ths local government offices Of Westminster
occu11ed at O'clock to night, destroying much
property. The report WAS heard in the house
of ooramons and caused much alarm. The COM
cussion Vas 30 great that it shook the side gall
lerysand also the reporters gallery. It being
the dinner hour few members of the house were
in the hall. The Duke of Edinburgh was in the
peers gallery, and seemed alarmed. The
spesker rang his bell and asked the cause of the
alarm. No ono was injured. The widest ru-
mors are aAoat. The report resembled the dis
charge of an eighty ton gun

The Daily News says: It is of course obvious
that thfexplOsion was the result IF premedi-
tated desixn. We are confronted with the fact
that there are in London persons bold enough
to act on the widest counsels of O'Don0van
ROssa. 1t is impossible not to connect the per.
petration of this outrage with certain phase Of
Irish crime, and the assassin press of America.
The Times says: The Fenian answer to Glad>
stones speech on the land act was not delayed.
We are in the presence of the first attempt of the
dynamite party to carry ont the policy of bring
ing war into the heart of London. The explo-
sion at our office occurred at 7:45 Wednesday
evening, but the failing Of the, canister pre-
ventedany serious damage. There Is reason to
believe that the two attempts were made
by the tame miscreants.
